A Lot of Work Ahead

[Nicolas Lepage 0]

As the patients began to filter in, Mimi began to worry about how bad they were and how to treat them. All she could do was treat them and give them something to ease the pain and hopefully get them back on track.

 

The first patient Mimi came upon was in serious condition and was treated with hydrozine.

 

After helping out in the cargo bay, Nick had decided to go up to sickbay and check on the patients there. Myron and Mimi were more than capable of handling the situation. The problem was that the Deosi were in pretty bad shape and way more than Nick had expected had to be sent up to sickbay for more extensive medical treatment than there were able to provide in their makeshift facility in Cargo Bay 3.

 

Nick when the turbolift's doors opened, Nick strode down the corridor and through the doors of sickbay. It took him only a few seconds to locate Mimi, bent low over an apparently unconscious patient. He made a beeline for her. "How are things up here?" he asked.

 

Mimi looks up at Nick breifly and sighs. "Fair I would have to say, but most of these people are either ill from malnurishment, some worse than others, or have some type of chroniton radiation. But not as bad as Ocis," she replied. "I wish that there were a few extra hands to help out."

 

Nick held out his hands and grinned. "Will these do?" he asked jokingly. "But seriously, I'll need you to scan every patient's DNA. Enter the results into the databanks and send them to Commander Feretti."

 

As she smiles, "Of course, I'll make sure that she'll get the results." Mimi stands and looks at Nick, "By the way, Ocis isn't doing to well. He's getting worse by the day," she said softly. "I don't know how much longer he has."

 

Nick nodded. "I'll check on him later. Though I fear even our best efforts won't save him. His DNA seems to be degenerating quickly. But we might be able to do something for the rest of them."

 

"Alright," as Mimi nodded in agreement. "How many more left in Cargo Bay 3, that aren't as bad as this group?"

 

Nick did a quick calculation in his head. "About 190. We'll have to find more permanent accomodations once they are released. Are there any in the ICU?"

 

"Including Ocis, about 25," Mimi replied. "You might want to get with Commander Brown about accomodations and Centurion Dabi about posting security where the group will be placed."

 

Too bad the diplomatic wing isn't useable or we could use it, Mimi thought to herself.

 

"I don't see why we should increase security around their quarters," Nick answered with a shrug of his shoulders. "We caught Ocis stealing. It's not like all of them are theives and Ocis had pretty good reasons."

 

"True," shrugged Mimi.

 

"Alright so if that's all I'll go back down to the cargo bays. Let me know fi you need anything." Nick looked at her questioningly for a few seconds and then turned around and left. There was still a lot of work ahead of them.
