Mission: Deadly Diplomacy
[CONTINUED]
[OLD]
Yui managed to sit up and held her head in her hand. "Ouch, that really hurt" she said. The room was spinning for her, it made her feel a little dizzy. "Are the inertail dampners working, or is that just me?" she asked closing her eyes to stop everyone from shaking like leaves on a tree.
[NEW]
Helga walked over to the young officer. "It's just you. Don't worry, it's normal to feel dizzy after a head injury. Rest for a bit and you'll be fine. Can I get you something?"
Yui sat there still holding her head. "I think water would be... good?" she said.
Helga quickly got Yui a glass of water and, to be helpful, a plate of cookies.
She set the plate of cookies beside Yui's biobed. "These should help you feel better. Would you like a glass of milk to go with them?
Arnon strode briskly into Sickbay. Seeing Yui and Helga, he walked over to see what he could do to help.
"Nurse Lowe," he said to Helga by way of a greeting. "An who do we have here? Ah, Miss Hirasawa. And what brought you in today? Your chart here says you received a nasty electric shock. I hope you didn't get that from following my orders. I did say 'with someone' not 'with an electronic device.' Ah, well, the important thing is that you seem to be okay."
Helga raised an eyebrow at that, but didn't ask.
In the Doctor's absence Galen had cleaned up the sickbay from the earlier chaos and prepped for the inevitable next wave of injured. She had only just finished and had begun cataloging samples when Doctor Frost, Nurse Helga and Yui entered with some commotion. Galen stopped what she was doing and walked out into the med bay from the medical lab where she was working. She was a little surprised that the call for medical assistance had not come to the sickbay, but the regular staff had things well in hand. Doctor Barak also entered soon after them, and it was apparent that her assistance would not be required; too many people attending a single patient would only hinder their care. Galen watched for a few minutes from the medical lab, but then returned to her work.
Now that Yui was doing better and had a snack to tide her over until the doctor pronounced her fit to go, Helga, too, headed off to tend to her paperwork.
[Fighters]
"Troop ship of unknown origin cannot be good." Wedge said as he came around trying to stay somewhat out of the fray. "It could do a lot of damage if it lets loose and our 'popguns' might just make it mad?"
"What if we all hit one shield with all the torpedoes were can throw at it?" Bojay suggested. "Might tip our hand but also enough to take it down or the concentrated Phasers followed by torpedoes might score of we target it?"
"I'm Game." Wedge moved his fighter ito a formation with Bojay. "SIde by side hit one shield then let loose?"
"Split the credit if we get it?" Bojay jockeyed into position. "Troop SHip should be at least a double credit."
The two fighters were all but touching wing tips when they started down the attack path the fighters focused on the rear shield in the angle that would be just under the weapon arcs they had plotted earlier. The phasers became a continuous fire before the first of four torpedos finished the rear shield and left the engineering section open as the second torpedo shattered the outer hull; the sudden decompression began hurling things out the opening when the third torpedo struck Main Engineering unfettered causing wide spreaddamage and tattering of metal when the final Torpedo struck the Warp Core.
The two fighters split and pinwheeled away from the ship as they passed through the run; impulse engines pushing the fighters clear as internal explosions pushed out on the hull a couple of seconds before the ship exploded.
=^= Scratch one Troop SHip.=^= Bojay said.
=^= Double point score. =^= Wedge added.
"I didn't even get a chance to tell them no," Leroy groaned as he watched the unknown ship explode. "Why me? I just hope this doesn't spill out a larger problem for the Federation. Phoenix call home and see if we're clear to come back."
"I'm not sure they would have listened if you had," Phoenix assured him before opening a comm channel. "Phoenix to base, request permission to come home."
"This is base, Phoenix, you're all clear."
"We can find out if there's any fallout when we get back," she said to Leroy. "Keep your eye out for any more bogeys. Something that size should have more than one squadron of fighters."
