Return of the Away Team, Rescue Complete?

Oct 12, 2009 11:59

The message came in from the bridge, and Bones jumped, even though he'd been waiting for it ever since he'd woken up.

Away team, beaming straight to sick bay.Everyone had been notified about the away team's departure while he was unconscious, and they had assembled in sickbay. Now turning to look at them, he took a deep breath and nodded ( Read more... )

Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dctr_mccoy October 12 2009, 16:07:26 UTC

"Patient Three," The tricorder hummed, "Toxin, possible sedative, wound on the arm. Figure out what it is, nurse."

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dreadpiratekirk October 12 2009, 17:14:23 UTC

Everything was bright.

Sam opened his eyes, but the world was a blur of blobs. Some of them moved, they had to be people. He tried to watch them, but he could not focus on and follow any of them. The lights and movement were too much, and he closed his eyes again.

At some point between the last moment Sam remembered and whenever it was he reawakened, he'd lost control of his arms and legs. He could still wiggle his fingers, Sam found, but any greater movements were beyond his control.

Meira approached the biobed. She picked up the PADD and scanned it quickly.

She carefully turned his arm to examine it. There was a large puncture wound - the area around it was swollen and looked to be a bruise forming. There was a tiny trickle of blood dripping down the side.

Taking a deep breath, Meira pulled out her tricorder and ran it along his arm. Toxin levels were high - whatever had hit him, it had been tainted with... something. She frowned. It looked like a sedative, but not one she had seen before.

She connected the tricorder to a larger terminal, to dig deeper in case it was a rarely-documented kind, hopefully buried within the database.

In the meanwhile, she cleaned her hands and put on a fresh pair of gloves. Taking a moist cloth, she dabbed at the wound, cleaning off the blood. She then washed it off again, this time with an antiseptic - there wasn't any signs of bacterial or viral infection setting in, but it was still a likely occurrence. As she finished wrapping the wound in gauze, the tricorder beeped.

Something flooded his veins and his body felt warm, as if he'd been piled under a mound of blankets.

Sam's eyes snapped open. Things were clear enough now that he could tell he was in sickbay on the Enterprise. It was calmer now, but it might have just seemed so because he was able to track movement again.

There was a dull ache from his shoulder. Slowly he remembered he had been wounded there, and raised his other hand to touch the bandage. Pressing on it wasn't too painful, but it was still extremely tender.

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk ensgn_spottacus October 13 2009, 00:23:56 UTC

Meira was startled from her work when her tricorder began beeping. She submitted what she had completed and returned to the biobed.

"Hello um-" she glanced at the PADD file again. "Sam."

Kirk? George Kirk, at that?

She shook her head. Now was not the time.

"How're you feeling?" she asked as she picked up her tricorder again and began scanning.

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dreadpiratekirk October 13 2009, 02:30:18 UTC

"Like I got hit in the head with something really really hard."

He rubbed his hands over his face.

"Where's Doctor McCoy? I need to talk to him."

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk ensgn_spottacus October 13 2009, 02:47:48 UTC

Meira stayed silent for a moment as she skimmed over the readings. A definite improvement - much more than she had expected, although she had no intentions of releasing him anytime soon.

"I'd give you a pain hypo, but it'd probably mix badly with the sedative and knock you out again. Can you manage?"

She paused, considering his question.

"Doctor McCoy is most likely with another patient. Can it wait at all?"

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dreadpiratekirk October 13 2009, 02:59:48 UTC

"I'll live," Sam said, and rolled his injured shoulder. It didn't hurt that bad. The worst was the feeling of detachment from a large portion of his body. Whatever she had hypo-ed him with was working, but not fast enough for his tastes.

"It can wait. Just tell him I want to see him when he's got a minute."

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dctr_mccoy October 13 2009, 11:30:49 UTC

It was a few hours later but Bones got the message once he was dome working with Kirk. Making his way through the sickbay, he stopped in front of Sam's terminal and began reading Ensign Spottacus' report. "You alright?" he asked, turning toward Sam, eyes drawn to the injured shoulder.

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dreadpiratekirk October 13 2009, 12:17:42 UTC

Sam looked down at the injured shoulder, then shrugged with the uninjured one.

"I didn't get a chance to send a message. Things didn't go as planned... How are they?"

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dctr_mccoy October 13 2009, 12:44:22 UTC

"Alive," Bones answered, "thanks to you and the others." He reached over and gave the uninjured shoulder a gentle touch. "Jim, we got most of the physical injuries dealt with. They beat the shit out of him, but he's strong, he'll be alright." Has to be alright...

"But- he's been, he's got these markings, like tattoos all over his skin. Gonna have to work on that later. Your dad," Bones rubbed the back of his head, frowning. "Won't kid you, sounds like it was pretty touch and go for a while there."

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dreadpiratekirk October 13 2009, 16:14:45 UTC

Sam looked Bones in the eyes.

"But George is stable now, right?"

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dctr_mccoy October 13 2009, 16:33:28 UTC

He looked over to where the other man was resting. "Stable," Bones repeated. "We'll know more in the morning."

McCoy paused. "I'll take you to see your brother, if you want. He's unconscious, will be for the rest of the night, but if it would make you feel better..." He shrugged. Everyone was different about these things.

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dreadpiratekirk October 13 2009, 16:55:33 UTC

"I'd like that." He looked to where McCoy's hand rested on his shoulder, then smiled weakly up at him. With a bit of maneuvering he was able to swing his legs over the side of the biobed. "Can you help me over there? I think I can stand, but I don't know how stable I am gonna be while I'm walking."

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dctr_mccoy October 13 2009, 17:19:12 UTC

Bones shifted a bit until his arm was underneath Sam's, helping him to stand upright. "He's in a sterile field, so not too close, okay, unless we sterilize your hands and get you in a surgical robe." Slowly they limped across the room toward the trauma area in the back, where surgical patients and those needing privacy were kept.

Bones pointed to a bed at the end, the figure lying on it looking small and childlike in the sterile white bedding. He held out a robe for Sam, much like the one he was wearing, to put in over the medical gown he'd been given when they treated him.

Re: Patient Three - George "Sam" Kirk dreadpiratekirk October 13 2009, 17:29:29 UTC

Sam limped forward into the surgical robe and held his hands up so as not to touch it as McCoy fastened it.

He watched Jim's sedated form, so helpless looking in the middle of everything. Sam wanted to be there, to touch him and make sure it was really him on that bed. His brother was suffering and there was nothing he could do but be with him.

At least Jim wasn't in any pain at the moment.
