[mission: totally possible - Lambda 7 was the easy part]

The mission itself had gone very well.

Lieutenant Nyota Uhura was pleased to be able to say so in her log as she and the other three women in the away team headed back towards the Enterprise in their shuttle, Columbus. The team had been assembled hurriedly in response to an urgent request for aid from Federation-allied Eresian colonists on a

It took Nyota a moment to rouse herself, a heavy lethargy settling itself behind her temples and making the world feel as if it had slowed. It could have so easily been another late night and early morning on the Enterprise, when all she had to do was reach for the painkillers and wait for the world to right.

Except as she slowly opened one eye, she knew that she couldn't fool herself. She stayed still for a moment, taking stock of her body and the way it ached. There was a dull thud across her left cheek, and she knew that if she touched it, she would feel the bruised skin there. Her head was spinning as if they were still trapped in the storm despite being still. There was a damp wet at her side, and easing one hand up she discovered a small gash. Nothing serious. Cuts and bruises. They'd sting like hell, but she could handle them, had handled worse

"A-Okay over here," Tina said, carefully reaching to undo her safety straps. She would have some bruises along hips and collarbones, but that wasn't anything to fuss over. "Stay put, everyone

Leah pried her hands from where they seemed to be stuck to the top of the control console, took a couple of calming breaths to control her still hammering heart, and managed to undo her safety straps. She'd somehow gotten herself buckled up properly after raising the shields.

Christ. Was everyone else okay?

She tried to see, but it was just too dark in the cabin. Ignoring the groan of protest from her body, she moved up further on the edge of the chair, blindly reaching down for the emergency kit.

"Jesus," Tina Chapel's voice cut through the darkness. "Is everyone okay?"

Leah unhooked the kit and sat back in her chair. She set the kit on her lap and opened it, quickly finding the flashlight.

"I'm fine," she said, though it came out so quietly she didn't know if anyone heard her.

From the back part of the cockpit of the shuttle, she heard a distinct hiss of pain. "I've broken my arm," Nyota said. "Is everyone else alright?"

Oh, no...There was a beam from a flashlight not that far away - someone else must have gotten to their

Attacks on the Enterprise were a regular occurrence, and by this point Christine had no problem working calmly and efficiently through surgery as sirens blared and the floor shifted under her and McCoy's feet. Experiencing a shuttle crash was...something else entirely. Christine had just sat for a moment, unable to do anything but clutch on to the armrests as her mind whirled, trying to steady her breathing and wait for her heartrate to slow.

It wasn't until Tina gently called her name that she was able to move, closing her eyes briefly before she released her iron grip on the seat and moved to find the emergency kit. We're all right. We'll be fine.She bent down, feeling around for a moment before retrieving the kit and fumbling at the latch in the darkness, finally getting it open and reaching in to find the flashlight. She turned it on and glanced around the shuttle. There was plenty of room near the back end; most of the seats had been removed in order to make room for the supplies they'd just left back on Lambda Seven. Tina was
