"People"

[spg 0]

Not my best writing ever here, but non-the-less my log for this week:

 

Spencer was silent as he made his way down the corridor towards Sickbay. He was on his way there to assist Lt(jg). Kroells in interviewing the Cairo’s Assistant Chief Engineer in hopes of gaining some knowledge as to what caused the explosion on the Cairo. Even though Lt(jg). Garnoopy was walking right beside him, Spencer hardly noticed. His mind was thinking over the Cairo explosion and what could have caused it.  He quickly snapped back into it as he entered Sickbay, stopping short as he saw all the injured around on the biobeds.

 

Ever since the Reaent was rocked by the Cairo’s explosion, his thoughts had been on one thing… finding out what caused that explosion. Why? Just for the simple reason of performing his duties. Glancing around he noticed Ensign Kenickie laying unconscious on one of the beds, as well as all the unfamiliar faces in tattered Starfleet uniforms. He slowly walked forwards a little ways before spotting Travis and Dr. Matthews just outside the Doctor’s office. Quickly slipped through the crowded sickbay and up beside them.

 

As he waited for them to begin the interview Spencer suddenly had a wave of emotions come over him. Just a few minutes ago he was on the bridge looking over data on what the Cairo was holding in its cargo bays, discussing which one could have cause such an explosion. All the data had made him completely forget the survivors in sickbay who would be able to provide much more information than scans ever could. Seeing all the injured brought him back to the ground level to what really matters… people. Suddenly he felt an even heavier desire to find out what happened, not just for the sake of performing his duty, but to provide some answers so this type of accident can be prevented from happening again… saving the lives of people.
