With the change in alert status and the news that there were wounded on their way, Leah set about making sure they were ready. “Alright, look alive folks. Incoming injuries, no specifics. Prepare for anything,” she said, as she moved about Sickbay in a predetermined path that allowed her to look over all the biobeds.

“Sound off,” Hart said.

“Medications, check.”

“Backup power, check.”

“Biobeds, check,” Leah said. “Alright, good.”

It didn’t take long for sickbay to become inundated with wounded.

Lieutenant Arlen Vos
Division: Operations
Species: Human
Age: 41
A middle aged human Lt in ops red arrived supported between two damage-control crewmen, barely able to keep weight on his right leg. His uniform sleeve wa partially fused to the skin along his forearm. Blood has soaked through the lower portion of his trouser leg, though the fabric is blackened enough to obscure the source clearly. He remains conscious and alert, though visibly struggling to focus.

A young Vulcan science ensign was brought in unconscious on an antigrav stretcher by two security officers. A thin trail of green blood extends from beneath her left ear down the side of her neck. There are no visible burns, but faint discoloration is visible beneath the skin near her temple.

A male cheif petty officer arrived under his own power. His breathing is shallow and uneven, and one side of his uniform jacket has been removed entirely. Jagged scoring marks and embedded metallic fragments are visible across his shoulder and upper torso. His hands shake continuously.

Crewman First Class Selik
Division: Security
Species: Vulcan
Age: 58
The next patient was a Vulcan security crewman carried in unconscious by two other security officers. The left side of his face and neck show extensive bruising beneath torn uniform fabric. His breathing is audible from several meters away, slow but strained. One arm hangs at an unnatural angle off the side of the biobed as the attendants maneuver him into position.

The last to enter Sickbay was a Deltan female. She entered without assistance but nearly collapsed immediately after crossing the doorway. There is dried blood across the front of her collar from a split lower lip. One hand remains tightly clenched around a damaged PADD, knuckles pale from the grip. She appears aware of her surroundings

The first task was to triage the patients. Malo was on the responding medical team. He approached the unconscious patient first and ran preliminary scans.

Two patients were unconscious the first a young Vulcan woman. The security officer who brought her in looks up. “I found her collapsed outside of Astrometrics. She was awake, slurred speech, until we got off the turbolift. She fell unconscious.” There was discoloration at her temple indicating a hematoma, and blood trails down beneath her left ear across her neck.

The other unconscious patient is another Vulcan, male, older. His partner moves out of the way. “He was injured when the emergency bulkhead failed while evacuating engineering. He kept barking orders until he passed out.” There are burns and severe bruising on the left side of his face, neck and chest. His breathing is loud and labored even over the commotion. His right arm hangs at an unnatural angle off the side of the biobed.

Malo waved another doctor to the first patient. Both needed immediate care, but there were, in his opinion, more immediate threats to life, for the man. He ran a medical scanner over the patient as he watched the man’s vitals.

~ Astrel, Med

Dr. Korv Yonix, a Bolian man, was already smudged with blood and other things from treating the wounded. He moved up to the woman.

Externally, the scan confirmed what was immediately visible: localized soft tissue trauma around the left side of the head and neck, accompanied by subtle swelling beneath the skin. No obvious external burns were detected, and her uniform showed no evidence of plasma exposure. Her vital signs remained stable overall, though her neurological readings fluctuated enough to prompt the tricorder to perform several automatic comparison cycles before settling on a consistent baseline.

As Dr. Yonix finished his scan he lfited the young woman’s tricroder that was still alarming. It was locked on its last survey function. A sensor log filled the screen, timestamped only moments before her collapse. Nearly every recorded value had completed normally, except for one field near the bottom of the display. He couldn’t make sense of it. “Is there anyone from science or engineering here that can take a look at this?” he called out as he picked up a dermal regenerator to start working on the damage to the young woman.

Malo’s scans confirmed the extensive external bruising over the left side of the face, neck, and upper chest. The left arm remained motionless where it had fallen from the biobed, and the scanner repeatedly highlighted that limb for further evaluation without assigning a definitive classification. The man’s breathing was deep but irregular. His pulse remained present throughout the scan, though it varied noticeably whenever he was repositioned by the medical attendants.

• His vital display showed a heart rate fluctuating between 48 and 62 beats per minute without any apparent external stimulus.
• Respiratory rate varied from 10 to 18 breaths per minute, with inconsistent tidal volumes despite an unobstructed airway.
• Blood pressure measured 94/58 mmHg, then climbed to 112/70 mmHg on the scanner’s next automatic cycle before settling at 101/64 mmHg.
• Blood oxygen saturation remained between 96–98%, while tissue perfusion readings from the left arm were noticeably lower than those of the right.

The tricorder also highlighted intermittent reductions in motor nerve conduction through the left upper extremity, though the values shifted enough between successive scans that the instrument flagged them as “Inconsistent Neuromuscular Response – Verification Recommended.”

Cardiac rhythm remained sinus throughout, but the scanner noted occasional isolated ventricular ectopic beats, prompting the device to automatically repeat portions of the examination before displaying, “Diagnostic confidence reduced. Repeat examination recommended.“

Malo began running more detailed scans: an echocardiogram, visual scans of the chest, neuromuscular tests on the arm, which he also very carefully and gently placed on the bed. Blood pressure and perfusion were okay, heart rate was low and fluctuating. He administered something to help regulate the heart rate.

~ Astrel, Med

The echocardiogram displayed normal chamber structure and contractility with no evidence of valvular dysfunction or pericardial fluid. The visual scan of Selik’s chest revealed several non-displaced fractures along the left ribs with swelling in the soft tissue, but no pneumothorax or internal bleeding. Scans continued to show a sinus rhythm that drifted between bradycardic episodes and a more normal rate. Following administration of the medication, Selik’s pulse gradually stabilized to 68 beats per minute, and maintaining a regular rhythm.

The neuromuscular assessment of the left arm showed inconsistent results. Motor response remained diminished compared to the right, while sensory perception along the limb fluctuated between scans. Carefully repositioning the arm onto the biobed created no voluntary movement from the unconscious security officer. His blood pressure remained stable and distal perfusion to the hand stayed within acceptable limits. The tricorder completed its final pass and updated its status to “Cardiac rhythm stabilized. Neuromuscular abnormalities persist.”

Then the whole ship shuttered. A concussive blast slammed out of another area and force of it through the corridor blew lights, blew personnel to the floor, and tore the walls apart. =/\=HULL BREACH DECK 9 SECTION 1 HULL BREACH DECK 9 SECTION 1=/\=

Malo was knocked over, but was quick to pull himself up. “Get a bone fuser.” He said to the nearest nurse. “Is everyone alright?”

Then he continued running nerve scans. Perfusion was normal, so blood flow was present, but the readings made him worry the arm may somehow be paralyzed or otherwise crippled.
