[Medlab]
Emni, still lying comatose in the medical bay has been prepped and is
awaiting surgery. tr`Rogel, steps a little closer to the biobed and looks a little worriedly over to D`Tarik as the Daise sets the new gizmo, filled with his regenerative concoction, down on a tray near Emni's head. "Are au sure I can't do anything to help, rekkhai?" tr`Rogel asks in a quiet voice.
"Na." D`Tarik says absently, "I got this all under control."
Still not willing to leave the comatose Erien, Rogel peeks at Emni's vital signs while the chief isn't looking, then stands back a little as D`Tarik pressed the large red button on the gizmo that Rylan had made. The Needle that had so perplexed Rylan earlier, suddenly extends from the gizmo on a long 'arm'. The arm moves, and places itself just over the center of Emni's forehead. Not having seen the new equipment before, Rogel asks curiously, "Exactly what is the procedure au are using, rekkhai?"
"Io of my own design." D`Tarik turns to him, slight annoyance in his tone. "Is that a problem?"
Rogel shakes his head and shrugs a little, "Na, rekkhai. It's just...I've never seen the device is all." he motions to the gizmo on the tray, "Just thought I might learn something. Rekkhai."
D`Tarik turns back to the device, and taps a few keys on it's keypad. The needle lowers itself into the center of Emni's forehead. "This will take a few moments." he tells the Farien absently, "It's removing the blood clot."
After a few more moments, Rogel notices the girl starting to stir slightly, and his eyes grow wide. "Um.. rekkhai? She's waking! And the needle, rekkhai..." he points to the arm of the gizmo that held the needle firmly in place, "...it's still in her forehead!"
D`Tarik doesn't seem bothered by this in the least. After only a second more, the arm retracts itself, pulling the needle out of the girl's brain. Inside the gizmo itself, a green blob sits in the empty chamber, and the outside part of that chamber which had held the thick, mud-colored goop, was now completely empty. "Now it's na..." D`Tarik said of the needle, "Trust me..." D`Tarik pulls a hypo out of a lab coat pocket and injects the slightly twitching form of Emni, "This was expected. There. That should settle her down a bit."
Emni's body begins to relax as the drug takes effect. Slowly, her eyes
begin opening, and through the blurry haze of them trying to focus, she sees D`Tarik standing over her. "D....D.....D`Tarik?"
"I'm here..." DT smiles down at her, "Don't try to talk just yet. Give ninte-self a few moments."
Emni looks utterly confused by that statement, but closes her eyes again in an attempt to relax.
[In the Corridor outside Medlab]
After tearing a ligament in his shoulder during a holo-excersize, Rylan
heads off to the medlab. As he steps out of the lift, and heads closer to medlab's doors, he sees Vyynd in the corridor ahead. tr`Khaine grumbles out a happy sounding, "Must au *always* be down the same corridor as me?!"
Ry grins back at him still walking closer to medlab, "I was just going to ask au that, Vyynd." he raises a brow and says with mock-suspicion, "Any io would think au were following me."
"Na..." Vyynd waves a hand and steps up to the boy and the medlab doors, "There are many much more interesting people to follow lately." he grins then nods his head towards Ry, "Shoulder problems?"
Ry smirks at Vyynd's first remark, and proclaims jokingly, "Na-one's more interesting than me!" Ry suddenly turns a little more serious, and he nods his head. "Ie..." he winces a little, tesing out the injured shoulder, "Zigged when I should've zagged again." he frowns.
"Ie," Vyynd smiles back, "Au need to work on that zagging routine more
often..."
"Ie, that's what I was trying to do." Ry smirks again, "It just didn't work out is all." he finishes as he steps through the medlab doors and sees D`Tarik still hovering over Emni.
"So," Vyynd asks, looking rather vengefully at Rylan, "Promoted any of ninte staff yet?" he follows him into the lab.
Ry grins back at Vyynd "Au are my staff..." he motions over towards the
occupied D`Tarik, "DT's my staff..." he waves that hand around the medbay, "The whole fvadt ship is my staff!" he laughs a bit at that, then nods, "But ie, I've promoted a few people in Operations as well."
Vyynd smiles back, "Good work then. I worked a bit on that as well..." he trails off to look over to the happenings in medlab, "Good work on that device Ry, seems to have worked..."
Rylan looks over towards Emni's bed, and nods, saying quietly to Vyynd,
"Ie...the device worked, but DT was the io who brought her out of it.
Congratulate him." Not wanting to disturb DT and Emni, Ry motions over to tr`Rogel to fix up his shoulder.
Vyynd turns his head away from the Medical people, and whispers back so they can't hear, "For all we know, it could have been Sprink who brought her back..." he snickers.
Ry laughs low at that remark, "Ie...could very well be." then smirks and points to Rogel who had joined the pair, "Or it could've been this io for all we know!" Seemingly not noticing the baffled look on Rogel's face, Rylan hops up on a biobed and tells the Farien about the shoulder problem.
As tr`Rogel goes about seeing Ry's shoulder right, Vyynd smiles back at
Rylan's previous remark. "Ie. He's got a good head on his shoulders. It's very possible. Glad he has more than just DT as an advisor." he proudly smirks, and never one to pass up such an opportunity, tr`Khaine begins meandering around and pursuing the various files and such lying around.
As Ry and Vyynd joke around quietly, Emni opens her eyes again, this time with more control then before. "I..I'm..what happened??"
"Emni, au took a nasty blow to the head." DT says gently, "Au have been in a coma for the past week or so. Do au remember everything?"
"I...uh, I remember being in medbay...then something hit my head. It
must've brought on the coma."
"Do au remember the Klingons...?" DT asked, "The ones who attacked us?"
Emni pauses a moment before answering. "Yeah...but it happened so fast. I just mostly remember the blow to the head." she looks up at him surprised, "Was I really out for a week? Oh, wow!"
"Well au are okay now..." DT smiles, then adds in a slightly worried tone, "do au need anything? Feeling okay? Feeling dizzy or numb?"
"I'm a bit dizzy, ie." Emni tries to move her limbs a bit, but they're still too stiff. "A little stiff, but other then that, I'm glad to be awake!" She smiles up at D`Tarik, then suddenly raises to a slight panic, "What happened with the Klingon attack? Is everyone okay?!"
"Na, everyone is fine, Emni." he takes her hand to settle her, "It's
okay...don't get to excited. Au`rh still recovering."
"Oh, good..."she sinks back into the biobed, settleing down a bit more,
"I'm so glad to be back. Hann`yyo so much for taking care of me D`Tarik."
"Well, that's kind of my job..." D`Tarik smiles again, and shrugs it off, "But I was more then happy too. Now, whenever au think au are ready, we can move au to our quarters to rest...."
Meanwhile, as his shoulder was being tended to, Rylan watched Vyynd
curiously as the Security officer poked around here, or picked up an isd there. Smirking, Ry asks casually, "Do they train au to be nosey...or is that a quality io is born with?"
Vyynd glances up, then back down again to the note he'd been skimming over, "A fair combination of genetics and academics, I'd say..." he makes a weird, childish sound.
Ry only nods to this remark, as he moves his shoulder around after Rogel finished repairing the damage done to it. "Fine job.." Ry slaps the Farien on the back, sending the boy a few stumbling steps ahead of him, "Hann`yyo!" Rylan turns back to Vyynd and asks curiously, "And what are au up to now?" then grins and adds, "Besides poking into files DT wouldn't want au to be poking around in, that is."
D`Tarik surprises the pair by turning towards the sound of Rylan's voice, "Rylan? Did au just say my name? And when did au get here?"
Vyynd immediately drops what he was doing and scratches his head. Walking out from around the corner, he looks between the two, then glances back to tr`Rogel before settling his eyes on D`Tarik again. "Jolan`tru!"
Ry, looking a bit sheepish as he had not intended for DT to hear his last remark, casts an apologetic look to Vyynd, and answers, "Um...just saying that au apparently woke up Emni..." he shrugs, "I just came in to have my shoulder attended to. Au were busy so Rogel there," he motions to the Farien, "Fixed me right up."
"Okay." D`Tarik nods, "And Ie, I did wake Emni...." he pauses slightly then asks, "Are au okay, Rylan?"
"Ie, fine." Ry nods in dismissal of it, "Glad Emni's okay...good work."
Vyynd laughs, "Good work indeed, D`Tarik!"
Turning to Vyynd, Ry repeats his earlier question, "So, au busy...or off duty awhile?"
Casting a stern look at Ry, Vyynd answers, "This is duty, I was actually headed by to talk to tr'Rogel a bit, but that can wait....."
Ry only raises a brow slightly at that, "Ah, well I won't keep au if ninte on official duty, then." he waves to DT as he heads out, "Jolan`tru all!" Vyynd bows as Ry exits the room, then heads back to the Farien to start conversing.
Emni looks up at D`Tarik, and brings his attention back to her with, "How long do au think it will be before my muscles obey me again?" she grins.
"But au have control over them now, they're just stiff." D`Tarik smiles, then offers, "I can give au something to get rid of that..."
Trying to stretch and get her muscles to obey, Emni nods slightly, "That'd be excellent; I'd love to get up and start moving again!"
"Okay..." D`Tarik hesitates, then warns, "But don't get too excited. Au still need to rest. I want au off duty for the next day or so." he reaches into his lab coat again, and hands a small, green pill to her, "Here, take this."
Emni nods in agreement, "Alright, I suppose I can handle a day or two more off duty. But I've been sleeping so long, I don't know what more rest I could possibly need..." she laughs gently, "I'd like to move back up to our quarters tonight and sleep in a real bed."
"Doctor's orders Emni." D`Tarik's worried face warns her gently, "I want au take it easy...just to be safe...ok?" he pauses a moment, then nods to her statement about sleeping in their own bed, "Well, that was the plan anyway."
Emni smiles back up at him, "Anything au say, Doc."
"Okay, well, that pill should've done it's work by now, Emni. Au want to go to our quarters now?"
"That'd be great." Emni agrees, "I can feel the pill working as we speak!"
Meanwhile, poor Farien tr`Rogel looks slightly bewildered by Vyynd. "Ie, rekkhai? Au wanted to speak with me?"
"Ie." Vyynd nods, coming closer, "How've au been, Dylhan?"
This took Rogel by surprise, as no one bothered to ask him that before, much less use his first name, "I'm okay, rekkhai." he pauses then nods, "I've been doing alright." he waits a moment more to see what the Tal`Shiar officer had on his mind, but when only silence ensued, he offered hopefully, "Did au need something, rekkhai? Injured in some way?"
Rubbing the opposite shoulder as Rylan's own injury from earlier, Vyynd
shakes his head, "Na, this one's loosened up now...hann`yyu." The Tal`Shiar officer pulls out his isd and begins reading over something on it's screen. "Now, anything to report about medlab? The crew here? Or all as normal?"
Rogel, who had been confused to begin with, is now suddenly nervous to
boot, "Um...well...." he stammers, throwing a 'please help me' look to the otherwise occupied Daise, "..Medlab's running efficiently, rekkhai. Um...the crew are all caught up on their physicals..." then adds with a shrug, "..except for a few officers. Everything's normal, rekkhai."
D`Tarik, now in a very good mood, couldn't help but overhear all this and he tossed over his shoulder in a joking kind of way, "Vynnd, everything is fine here...I mean, I'm the io running it!"
Rogel nods at DT's remark, looking slightly relieved, "Ie. See, rekkhai?
Vyynd rests a calm hand on the Farien's shoulder to help ease him a bit. "Ah, great then... hann'yyu Dylhan, keep up the good work." Vyynd walks toward DT and Emni a bit, then turns around again, "Ohhh, I'd like to get the strike team together soon for some more training. We'll need it soon. I'll keep au posted."
Rogel bows his head at Vyynd's statement, "Ie, rekkhai. I'll be there."
D`Tarik, having his curiosity peeked, turns his head, "Are au saying that to me Vyynd?"
Turning his attention back to the Daise Medical officer, Vyynd shakes his head, "Na, talking with tr`Rogel briefly, my apologies. Oh, good work here, D`Tarik; and ie, au`rh running medlab quite well... especially considering the number of people in here at times of late..."
Seemingly in dismissal of the Tal`Shiar officer, D`Tarik looks back at Emni, "Okay, ready to go?"
"Absolutely." she smiles, then is helped off the biobed by D`Tarik.
"Annnnddd....ah ie!" Vyynd nods, "I happened upon a piece of... 'shrapnel' if au will, from Sprinkles long ago. I figured au might need any information au could get, so I kept it for au... only now get a chance to remember it." tr`Khaine offers the boy an examining bag with a small piece of ... something...in it.
Supporting Emni, DT looks at the bag confused at first, then smiles.
"Hann`yyo, Vyynd." he doesn't take the bag but looks over at the Farien, "Rogel, could au do me a favor, and put that in cold storage, or are au busy?"
Before the Farien could answer, Vyynd turns around and tosses the bag to tr`Rogel, who quickly set the isd down that he had been typing reports in and deftly catches the bag. Nodding to Vyynd, he says quietly, "Hann`yyo, rekkhai."
"There au go." Vyynd nods to DT, "Well, I'm off. Jolan`tru
D`Tarik... Emni... Rogel..."
Rogel nods back as he comes back from cold storage, "Jolan`tru, rekkhai."
Emni bows her head slightly as well, "Good evening, rekkhai."
D`Tarik pats the Farien on the back, "Good work Rogel." then he taps his combadge, "Two to beam to my quarters..."
From DT's com, the frantic-sounding transporter chief comes back with "For Element's Sake!!!" and the two are beamed....to the bathroom of D`Tarik and Emni's quarters.
DT pauses a moment, looking around the bathroom, then shrugs, "Guess this is close enough..." Then helps Emni through the door and to the bed.
