Left Behind

One moment she was in sickbay discussing all of the interesting finding that Andrea would bring back from the Borg cube and the next she was contemplating the idea of her not coming back. “What the hell had happened on the away mission?” her mind screamed. “How did they leave without her?” Her thoughts were racing. Andrea had been her CMO, her mentor and more than that her friend. Sickbay had always felt like a safe place because of her presence. Miranda was not willing to leave her in the hands of the Borg. That was not an option merely because she was not willing to let Andrea go. Everyone had seemed as if they did not want to tell the sickbay staff that their CMO had not come back. Aaron had finally been the one to blurt it out to Miranda. It had been a shock but she had quickly recovered her composer. She felt they had underestimated her. Miranda was resolved. No matter what the cost she was going on the mission to find Andrea and bring her back. And not only for herself but for the rest of sickbay. She suddenly went cold. What if when they got over to the cube the Andrea she knew and cared about was not the same person. Or worse yet what if they couldn’t find her among the millions of drones. How would she ever break the news to Ty? He was not feeling well anyway and the shock might send him over the edge. She tried to take deep breaths to calm herself but it didn’t seem to be helping. “Don’t cry,” she told herself. There is always hope…right? But is there hope when it comes to the Borg? She shook herself out of her thoughts. Yes! There is always hope. “I will get through this. I will do everything in my power to save her” Miranda thought. Her only concern was would her best be enough to save their beloved chief medical officer?
