SRR Morrahe`VnuChapter Fifty-Five: A Brief Shift in the Medlab
[Medlab...]

Vyynd stumbles through medlab doors followed by the team, all battered and beaten. Emni looks up to see the new arrivals, and starts directing people to various biobeds. As she heading closer, Vyynd smiles at her and begins to explain of holodecks, mad programs, and insanity. The Medical assistant only nods her head, letting him ramble on as she guides him to a bed; then injects him with a painkiller/stableizer. Vyynd sighs and lays back, falling immeadiately to sleep. Emni raises a brow and looks at the hypo in her hand, and mutters to herself, "That wasn's supposed to happen...." then checks over his vitals to make sure the Agent was all right. Nodding, satisfied that he was only exhusted and would live, she moved onto the next paitient to get them prepped and stable.

D`Tarik watches Emni move in a calm and practiced way from patient to patient, sitting on a biobed of his own, working on healing his own leg. "Hann`yyo for help out Emni..." he offers as she walks by him.

"That *is* my job, au know." she smiles back, "Au don't have to thank me for that."

"Can au hand me that metal holding container over there?" he asks hopefully, pointing in the object in question, and clarifies, "It's by Sprink's stuff..."

"Ie." the girl nodded, as she finished stablizing the patient she was with, then fetches the object for him before moving on to the next soldier in line.

"Well io of these guys is on the medical staff." D`Tarik offers as she once more walked away, "I've met him briefly once or twice. So if you can get him going again, he can help au....since I can't." he adds awkwardly.

Emni pauses at this, scanning the faces of those in the room, and spots tr`Rogel. "Oh, ie!!" she smiles, heading over to the other Medical assistant, and helps him patch up his sprained ankle.

"Okay..." D`Tarik watches them a moment, then quietly goes back to working on his own leg. He was near done with it, but it was painful work, and slow going. Lost in his own little world, doing what he truely loves, he pays no attention to Emni and the other assistant chatting casually together, seemingly ignoring the presence of the Daise all together.

tr`Rogel, however, passes a curious glance every once in a while to the Chief, as he has heard about the relationship between Emni and DT, but wonders if it were true as the two hardly notice each other now. "Hann'yyo." he smiles at Emni as he stood away from the biobed and picked up a scanner. "Any io au haven't gotten to yet?"

Emni sighs a little tiredly, and motions around the room. "Ie. Pick io. I've only had time to stablelize two, and heal ninte self."

D`Tarik winces, as attaching the metal container to the inside of his leg is more then a little painful. He pauses in his work to look up for a second, and finally notices that Emni's not paying attention to him at all. "Emni...?"

Neither of the pair had heard D`Tarik at all, and tr`Rogel smiles again at Emni, "Well...au stabilize them and I'll heal them. Au've been running around on ninte feet most of the day. Let me do the hard stuff then. Sound fair?"

She smiles greatfully relieved, "Ie. Hann'yyo..." then hears D`Tarik call for her a second time and turns, "Ie? Something wrong?"

D`Tarik eyes the male assistant a moment, then focuses his eyes on her again, "Could au come here....*dear*."

tr`Rogel notices the look the Daise gave him and whispers quietly to the girl he heads over to the sleeping form of Vyynd, "Sorry Emni....."

Emni only looks confused, by both D`Tarik's tone, and tr`Rogel's hushed apology, but heads over to D`Tarik as he had asked, "Ie? What's the matter?"

D`Tarik, not really realizing what he is saying or doing at this point, blurts out, "Why are au talking to him like that?"

Even more confused by that question, Emni pauses a moment, "Like what? How do au mean?" She hears a patient groaning, and immediately shifts her attention away, heading over to help relieve them of pain.

D`Tarik shakes his head as she walks away, "Never mind..." As he returns to working on his leg, he ponders why he had asked her that question at all.

After a while, tr`Rogel gets Vyynd all patched up and sent on his way, then moves on to the next, passing a curious eye over to D`Tarik who has some kind of electronic instrument in his hands that likes of which the Farien hasn't seen before. The Daise was appling it to his leg, sending little sparks off around him. Emni comes over to assist tr`Rogel, as she had gotten all the other patients stablelized by this time, and he smiles at her. The pair talk quietly as they work on the injured female with a sword-wound to her shoulder for a moment, until the Farien's curiosity over came him and he finally asked, "What, exactly, is he doing?" he passed another glance over to the Daise.

Emni glances back to D`Tarik and smiles as she hands the Farien a skin grafter. "He's improving himself for the betterment of Medicine." she answers quietly, a note of pride in her tone.

"Ie?" tr`Rogel raises a brow slightly as he again glances over, "If au say so...."

The pair continue their work on the girl on the biobed, still talking casually every once in a while. A quick hissing sound is heard as the compartment in D`Tariks' leg closes and seals tightly. "IT IS COMPLEATED!!!" he exclaimes proudly as, over-excited and not thinking clearly, he slides off the bioded. As his feet hit the floor, he calls out, "OW!" then falls to the ground.

Emni immediately stops what she's doing and runs over, "D`Tarik?" she leans down to help him back up again, "Are au alright?" tr`Rogel shakes his head at these antics, sending the female patient on her way, then heads over to another patient whose injuries weren't as bad as the first two.

"Ie...hann`yyo." D`Tarik smiles at her, then notices the head-shake from tr`Rogel. He gives the male assistant an evil eye again, and starts to pull himself up. "I will get myself back on the biobed." he states firmly, "Au need to keep working on these people. Once my leg's na so sore, I will help au two."

Emni helps him back into bed anyway, "It's alright. We can manage. Au should rest that leg." she smiles, then kisses his forehead. D`Tarik smiles back, realizing that it wasn't Emni that he didn't trust, but the AMO tr`Rogel.

Rogel finished the third patient and sends them on their way, moving on to the next in line. He smiles again as Emni comes over to help, and asks quietly, "Is he always that clumbsy?"

Emni shakes her head slightly, "Na. He's hurt, that's all." a small smile appears on her face, "He gets a bit excited whenever he gets a goal completed." she sighs in a 'oh-elements-he's-so-great' kind of way.

Rogel nods absently, his eyebrow raised slightly as his unspoken question was answered by that. "So, how long have au been ...on good terms with the Daise?"

"Oh, since....well...shortly after he came aboard, actually." she smiles.

Rogel returns that smile with a hint of one of his own as he thinks, *That's na all that long a time....* Heading over to the next patient, he shrugs in appearent indifference, "I see. I heard he's a bit of an odd ball. That true?" he questions with a slight raise of his brow.

Emni looks offended at that, "He is *na* an odd ball!" she pushes past him to work on the person he had started to on, "He's just misunderstood! Now go work on him, Farien!" she points to another patient at the far side of the room.

Rogel bows his head to her, and shrugs slightly, "Sorry. I meant na offense. I haven't had the chance to work with him much is all. I was just trying to find out more about him." heads over to the patient she indicated. Emni only shakes her head at that and keeps working.

D`Tarik watches the Farien for a little while, then limps over to Rogel and points out a mistake he made. Nothing big, just something the Farien could of taken a better approach to. Using this opportunity as a learning experience, D`Tarik added after his explaination, "Don't think of that as a correction...just more as advice."

"Ie. Hann'yyo." Rogel answers with a slight smile, "I'll do better next time rekkhai."

"Ie, mistakes are made to learn. But on the field, the best way is the *only* way." D`Tarik nodded.

tr`Rogel's eyebrow twitched ever so slightly, then he nods down to the Daise`s leg. "Shouldn't au be off that, rekkhai?"

"Na. I gave myself some of my special pain killer...it helps alot." he explained with a weak smile. "It still hurts a little, but au guys need my help. I'm going to go check up on how the Erien's getting along." he finished, limping away.

Rogel moves on to the next patient, "Ie rekkhai. As au wish...."

"So..." D`Tarik begins, limping closer to Emni and giveing her a wink, "How are au doing here Erien?"

Emni looks up startled, "Au should be resting, D`Tarik. We can handle this. There's na really that many left to do, and the io-a that are waiting are resting comfortably." she smiles at the wink.

"I just wanted to make sure that guy was going to stop flirting with au." he nudges her, then turns to limp back over to the biobed as she commanded. "I think he likes au."

Emni raises a brow at that and looks over at the Farien then back to D`Tarik as he limps away. Turning to the patient she had been working on, she smiles a confused little smile and dismisses the newly healed officer with, "Au'll be fine now. Take the rest of the day off, but report for ninte next duty shift." then heads back over in DT's direction to work on the sleeping patient in the bed next to his. "Rogel is harmless. I doubt he was flirting with me. More like....trying to find out more about au, I think." she smiles at the Chief briefly.

D`Tarik, who had only just managed to limp over to the bed, greeted her with, "Long time na see..." as he climbs back painfully on the biobed.

Emni almost giggles at that. "Well...there's only four more patients. And two of them are next to au...."

D`Tarik watches her a moment. When she turned to the tray that stood between the patient's bed and his own, he reached out and cupped her chin, turning her head so he could look into her eyes. Taking out a small light, he peered into her eyes for a time, "After au attend to them, work on ninte-self. Au'rh showing the early signs of pnenomnia. What happened?"

Emni looks away, embarrassed, and turns back to the patient. "It's nathing, really..." she answers, making a mental note to have his shower door replaced.

"Na, what happend." he asks concerned, "I know the climate units on the ship were ok." he pauses, noticeing her hair as it was still a bit damp as she did not have time to dry and re-style it before she had headed off to bring the required medical equipment to the bar. "What happend?" he repeats.

Emni looks at him a little sheepishly, "Um....ninte shower wouldn't let me out...and it kept the cold water on..."

"Oh, na! thats na good! I'm sorry, honey." he says sypathetically, then smiles, "But buck up! A quick injection will take care of all that......I hope. Here, let me go get it for au!" he offers, swinging his legs painfully over the side of the bed once more.

"Na...na...I can get it later! Au stay still!" she protests, still fixing the broken arm of her current patient then injects him with a stimulent and sends him on his way; then walked around DT's bed to the other patient, not bothering getting a hypospray for herself.

"Na... I can get it." D`Tarik repeats, seeing as how she was still ignoring the fact of her own health, "Au need it." Then pauses, prepairing himself for the pain that was going to come when he stepped down to the floor.

Rogel steps over with a hypospray in his hand, "Never mind....I overheard." he smiles kindly to Emni and injects her with it. "There. All better." then heads off to his own last patient.

D`Tarik, still preparing himself for the pain that was sure to come, suddenly grins, "Wait! I have an idea! Ferien! Get a vacination for the lovely la....." then pauses, as he sees the Farien smile at Emni before moving on again, "Oh.....good job."

"There...I've been injected. Now will au please rest?" she almost pleads with D`Tarik to relax for once, then smiles a little shyly, "Besides....au'll need that rest for later."

"Ie, Lehhi." he smiles, then lays back down. A half-beat later he looks at her and asks, completely clueless, "Why? For...what?"

She blushes and giggles a bit, "For *later*."

D`Tarik only looks confused. "Latter? Umm what happens latter? I thought we could watch a movie or something," he shrugs, "But if au have other plans, I understand..." From the other side of the room, tr`Rogel mumbles something to himself, and rolls his eyes everytime D`Tarik responds to Emni in this little conversation.

Emni peeks at him over her shoulder with that same little smile, "I did have other plans actually.....If au can find a sitter for Sprinkles, that is."

"Well, I can do that...but why am I getting a sitter for Sprinkles?" he notices the Farien's behavior, then shrugs and wonders outloud to himself, "What's his problem?"

Up until that point, Emni hadn't been aware that they could have been overheard, and she tried to dismiss the conversation, "Oh...well...we'll talk about it later, okay?"

"But I want to know now." D`Tarik insisted, "Everybody can hear, why so shy?" a second later, he finaly got it, "Oooooohhhhhh! Riiiight! You meant sex." he gives her two big, stupid looking winks, "Right, okay! Got ya'!"

tr`Rogel feels sorry for Emni at that, and sends his last patient on their way, then heads out of the medlab himself to give them somewhat more privacy then D`Tarik had offered the poor Erien. Emni blushes furiously, then nods, turning back to the task at hand. Sending the last patient on thier way, then turns back to D`Tarik. "Well, did au want to stay here, or would au rather rest in ninte quarters?"

"How about I 'rest' in ninte quarters?" he counters with a sly smile.

"Ie...and rest is just what au'll do." she smiles just as slyly, "At least until au find a sitter for Sprinkles."

"Oh, wait au are still on duty....hrm...." he pauses, "Okay, fine fine....but I'm going right back to work tomorrow. And I will ask Rylan about makeing a sitter for Sprink."

"Well...actually..." she looks at him shyly, "I'm off duty in about 15 minutes....so that should give au some time to find a sitter until au can get, umm...Rylan... to make io for au."

"Well... he can watch Sprink for me.....unless he is busy. Maybe Sprink is old enough to watch out for himself anyway..." he ponders to himself. "Okay let's go." he swings his legs around and starts to get off the biobed on his own. Emni quickly latches onto him, to help support his weight off his injured leg. "Au are really against me walking on my own power, hmm?" D`Tarik frowns slightly at her.

Emni grins at him, "Well...maybe I *like* walking with au this way. I get to be closer to au...."

"And hey!" D`Tarik suddenly questions, "Why did tr`Rogel leave? He works the night shift...he should be on duty....."

Emni pauses, glancing around the medbay, "I don't know...." she shrugs, "But my duty shift is na over for a few more minutes...so technically he doesn't have to be here yet. I guess I could walk with you to the turbolift, then I'll come back here untill he arrives. Okay?"

"Okay, fine fine. Just make sure he's down here before au leave. With that whole holodeck thing, the crew is going to need him. In fact, I hate it that I can't help out." he sighs a little, then smiles at her again, "But okay, it sounds like a good plan."

"Alright then..." Emni nods, as she helps him out of the doors and to the turbolift, "Au ask Rylan if he can watch Sprink, and I'll wait here for tr`Rogel to report for his shift." she pauses a moment, then asks gently, almost in a motherly way, "Um....au sure we should have Rylan watch Sprinkles? I mean...is he responisble enough to watch Sprink?"

D`Tarik reflects on this a moment, "Before, I would of said Ie. But now...." he sighs, "I will go ask Katara."

"That's a better idea." She smiles.

"Ie. Katara is definately a good kid."

"Ie?" Emni's smile dies, "She seems nice I suppose....." she grows quiet.

"What's wrong? Ohhh..." he smiles, "Au jelious or something?"

Emni looks offended by that, "Na. I'm na." she pauses then smiles slyly, "About as jelious as au were with tr`Rogel anyway."

"Fine fine...enough of that. But au grew so quiet." he smiles, then changes subjects, "Oh well, just think about talking to her sometime. She could use a friend, I think. It doesn't seem like she has many." he explains, stepping into the turbo lift.

"Ie, I guess she could use a friend." Emni agrees, then adds as the doors close behind D`Tarik, "Especially if she's stupid enough to fall for that friend of ninte-a."

D`Tarik sighs at that as the turbolift goes up.
