Mission: Revenge
ON
It felt odd being back on the bridge after her time in the arena. At the same time, it was a relief. Except for half a dozen security officers, everyone else made it back safely to the ship. Alexandra and Amarylis would both need counseling. Korok would need some major re constructive surgery, and she needed to find a healthy way to vent the anger she still held towards the Orion slavers behind all this. Some R&R was definitely on order.
Sam watched the planet on the viewscreen. Even from space she could see the smoke from the fire still burning in the compound. She'd filed a report and sent it to Starfleet, both on Nero and the arena and on the environmental damage from blowing up the moon. Under the circumstances, she felt it an appropriate action, but with Starfleet, you never knew.
She turned to helm. "Set in a coarse for the nearest starbase."
It was good to have the Commanding Officer back on the Bridge; Munich had to admit the bridge Command seemed a bit too large for him right now, he was quite content being where he was for the moment. HIs fingers dancing over the controls.
"Course Plotted ma'am." Munich transferred the course to Helm.
"Thank you, Lieutenant. Head for the nearest starbase."
[Sickbay]
Dr. Ilse Frost looked up at Korok. "I leave it to you to tell her."
Korok growled low "Doc, she ain't gonna like it that I have to go some where to get this fixed."
Ilse half smiled as she turned to one of the Nurses with the schedule of pain medicine that woudl keep the mixed klingon calm before surgery could occur. "That is besides the point Korok, she needs to know and she needs to hear it from you. Now excuse me I have others to attend to."
"But Doc" Korok growled louder as if complaining.
Roberta Andrews softly came into Sick Bay and silently approached Korok whom was resting. An hour ago, she had been in their quarters, bringing their Kids, Oliver and Olivia up to date as to what had happened. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves, and her eyes went wide and she clutched at her stomach and collapsed.
"Hey Bob, help me with this one. She is heavy." Bill said as the other nurse came over and helped lift Roberts up and placed her on a bio bed for one of the other medical personal to look at her.
Soon afterwards the sound of a tricorder would scan Roberta and results taken. The doctor looked down at the dark haired woman and a horrid smell from smelling salts were waved under the woman's nose.
Roberta bolted up, and still felt a bit weak and queezy" "What?.Where..what happened?"
"Welcome back to the living, love. Any idea why you were found lying on the floor?" The doctor asked with a small smile of knowledge.
"Roberta shook her head trying to knockout the cobwebs. "II..I was here to see Lukk..and then I felt.strange...then I am here, on this bed... What's going on?"
"Well love, I have good news and I have bad news." The doctor said with a twinkle in her eye.
Roberta looked at the Doc. "Ok.." She replied. "Let's hear them both."
"Well ye are goin' to have a wee one and Korok is going to have to have surgery on that knee o' his when we arrive at the star base. Dr. Frost will accompany him I suspect and stay for his therapy so when he returns he will be able to walk again and help around the house and all. Because wee ones run alot as they get older." The doctor let that sink in for a moment.
Roberta blinked. "Wait...Lukk is going away for surgury? The kids will...I'M WHAT ?!?!?! Roberta grabbed at the Doc.."When..how.. I mean I *know* how, but when..oh..oh yeah..but a kid?!?!? How am I going to feed it, I don't have any food for a kid... I'm just getting in supplies for the twins. And now a baby?!?!? When am I supposed to 'deliver it?' "
"Oh its not for me to say when the wee one will arrive. Months and months from now, as your barely begun. You may have some difficulties with it being its only partially human. How ye conceived is beyond me. Must have to do with his mixed blood. But look on the bright side love. Ye won't be having yur monthlies." With that the doctor hit her with a hypo "That will help with the nausea that is caused by the changes in yur body this early on. Now excuse me I must attend to someone who has other problems. Stay there for a few minutes til yur head clears and then you can get up and move around." With that the doctor walked away.
Roberta lay back down on her bed; thinking. She got up and looked sown at herself. "Oh Lord," She thought. " I know I'm 'big,' but this is going to get ridiculous..New Uniforms...ugh" Where am I going to get baby food?" In a slight daze, Roberta went off to look for Korok to tell him the 'good' news.
"A replicator" one of the nurses muttered as they walked by "and the fella your looking for is behind that curtain there. He's quite out of it as the Doc has him sedated but you talk, he will hear you. He might even respond. No guarantees though."
