There are plenty of blankets and other resources for the medical staff to leverage to try and heat the cold and cool the hot.

Even with the help of Odraavi, the NE’s weight was still heavy on the small ensigns shoulders and she was glad that her life growing up on a farm had given her enough muscle to be able to support his weight comfortably despite her small stature. Even so, it was a relief to set the NE down in the hallway. Whilst the CMO saw to their patient, Aroha went back into the sickbay to gather the blankets as she’d been ordered. As her back turned on the CMO, a brief look of doubt crossed her features, first she was ordered to help move patients, and now she was on blanket duty? It didn’t seem quite right, but as she had to remind herself, now was not the time to be questioning her superiors choice in orders. So she said nothing, and threw herself into grabbing the blankets for the NE.

Some minutes later, after opening the wrong locker twice, in her lack of familiarity with sickbay still, Aroha emerged with a pile of blankets over one arm. In her other hand she had gathered a coulpe of devices that she’d found in the first two lockers. “I found these,” she said holding them up for Odraavi to see better, and almost dropping on in the process, “I’m not an engineer, but I thought these could help possible relieve the temperature situation we seem to have going on around here,”

Odraavi glanced up from where she had been running a scan over the NE to ensure he was doing all right. Finding that there had been no insane damage from his transport, she nodded to the Ensign, grateful for her willingness to follow what she asked. Searching for blankets was not exactly medicine, but it was just as important to keep these people warm, as it was to make certain all of their ailments were taken care of.

“All right,” She moved to take it from her hand, so the Ensign did not drop them. “Thank you,” She offered, quickly, believing whole heartedly in encouraging the people she worked with. “Let’s get these set up. If someone is in need of assistance, have an NE do it instead, and you see to the patient, aye?”

Aroha noded her afirmation, and set right to work. Laying the spare blankets down next to the NE she neatly fashioned him a temporary bed with a couple of them in order to protect him from the chill that laced the hallway. When she was done she scanned him to monter his body temperature, ensuring that he had enough blankets to keep him warm.

The NE, an older man to be an officer, rose his head up to the woman who had assisted him to this position. He couldn’t speak well in this state of mind, but there was a soft glimmer of gratitude in his eyes. Nodding to her, he drowsily turned his head, leaning it against the nearest thing he could find, which happened to be a willowy hand. His body temperature, thanks to the blankets, was beginning to rise back to a homeostatic stance.

As they went about trying to regulate the temperature for themselves and their patients, the lights flickered. A moment later, they went out, causing the emergency generators to kick in, though the overall lighting was quite a bit dimmer in treatment areas, and non-existant in non-treatment areas of the Infirmary. the only part of the medical area that had full lights were the operating areas.
