Location: shuttlebay, sickbay

ON

[USS Calypso - Main Shuttle Bay]

Master Sergeant Tate and the Alpha platoon of the Marine detachment made their entrance into the main shuttle bay. Their orders were simple. They were to establish a perimeter around the shuttle to ensure that nothing or anyone came towards it nor anything left the shuttle. They were quick and efficient in setting up the perimeter and waited for their commanding officer along with the Starfleet officers to arrive.

NCpl Graves looked at Tate "Sir, perimeter is set and ready." He said taking a stance next to the hatch of the shuttle.

[Inside the Moriarty]

Well, she hadn't crashed, which was a good thing, but she was pretty banged up. Which, when she thought about it, was also a good thing. She hugged Kirk, "How are you, sweetie?"

The monkey chittered and hugged her back.

The shuttle came to rest on the deck of the shuttle bay with a slight thud. "Okay, Kirk, let's greet our intrepid rescuers." She put the monkey on her shoulder and walked slowly off the shuttle.

As she walked off the shuttle, she began to cry.

Morgana fell to her knees on the flight deck. "Thank you! You saved my life." She looked around, noting the armed troops. "I seek asylum."

Helga stood in the back, watching all the nonsense. The girl walking off the shuttle looked a little worse-for-wear. She waited for a full two minutes before pushing past the Marines and heading to the girl. "Threat or not is not my concern. You need to see a doctor." She took Morgana by the arm and lead her towards the door. She glared at the Marines in her way. "If you feel the need to post a guard, come along. Otherwise, get out of my way."

Kara signaled to two Marines to accompany them to sickbay. With a nod the two Marines fell in line behind the nurse, the woman and the monkey.

Kara went to the computer console and ran a scan of the shuttle. "No one else on board. Should we get someone from Engineering down here to effect repairs?"

Levue entered the shuttle bay, and pondered the shuttle. "Where's the occupant?" Levue asked one of the marines.

"Sent to sickbay under Marine escort, ma'am," Kara told her. "She sustained some injuries and needs medical attention."

[Sickbay]

Nurse Tarango looked over at the door after four people walked in. She noted Helga and two marines were with a woman that she doesn't recognize. Barbara went over and gasped when she saw a monkey on the woman's shoulder. She looked at Helga. "What's going on? Who is she?"

"She was on the shuttle that was under attack," the Marine explained.

"My name's Morgana. My shuttle was under attack by pirates." She sat on a biobed. "I'm not seriously injured, thanks to your timely aid."

The two Marines looked at each other and nodded. They retreated to stand guard just inside the sickbay doors.

"Well, nurse Lowe?" She looked at Helga, wondering if she did a scan on the woman. Barbara immediately picked up the instrument and started the scans. While waiting for the results, "Morgana, I'm the head nurse in charge of sickbay right now...name is Barbara Tarango. I'm doing a scan to make sure that everything looks okay. We've never had an animal in sickbay," she said, looking at it. "Is that monkey harmless?"

Helga nodded and stood near Barbara to assist her if needed.

"As long as you don't hurt him, he's harmless," Morgana assured the nurse. At least he's never hurt me."

"Good," Barbara said. As soon as the scan was completed, she set the instrument down on the near-by table and picked up a osteo-regenerator. "You have one small hairline fracture in your upper leg that I need to use this instrument to seal it up. Besides this injury, you have a few bruises in different places and they are all harmless...no worries."

"Excellent news, doctor. Thank you."

As the nurse worked on her leg, "just out of curiousity, why were you attacked by pirates?" Barbara hoped that making conversation will help Morgana relax, if she is nervous or feel uncomfortable. She figured that her being in a different place, might make her feel that way.

Morgana looked at the nurse and blinked. "I don't know. I was flying back from an aerial survey of the planet and ... I don't remember." She shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I don't remember."

Levue entered, and, upon hearing the question, drew a phaser on Barbara. "You don't have the security clearance for that question, or answer." She said, in a warning tone. "You are not to interrogate the prisoner, unless you have permission from the Commanding Officer on duty. Take it up with him, if you don't like a phaser in your face."
