> i will be chasing your starlight [ kirk | kira | jadzia | open ]

[canyonsiniowa]

[ continued from here any others are welcome to start new threads and cross-tag. ]

Watch all the people, Major. We're seriously crammed into Northern Sickbay right now. She's over here.

[ kirk took major kira by the arm gently and guided her over to the bed jadzia dax was on. he didn't want to seem forceful but didn't want her to get lost either

Comments

[paradaxical]

[Jadzia stirred, and opened her eyes groggily. The first thing she saw was Kirk, and she smiled, reaching for him.]

James...

[Then she processed what he'd been saying, which took a few seconds because the sedative Julian had given her was still keeping her pretty out of it, and her head was still throbbing painfully.]

Who? Who's here to see me?

[onlyknoviolence]

Be glad I didn't bring the Cardassians with me.

[ it was a slight attempt at humour. she wasn't seeing them anymore, much, but she could still hear the gul tittering at her. she'd learned well to ignore things, and was able to do so for the majority of the time

kira let kirk lead her, not shaking off his grasp. he'd been right with the amount of people and she'd easily loose sight of him in the crowd. when she saw jadzia she was surprised. the only other time she'd seen her like this was when the entire station had been struck by aphasia, and even then it didn't seem as bad as this ]

[canyonsiniowa]

[ he didn't need any promptings to take her hand in his. though he did step aside slightly for kira to stand closer to jadzia. he was trying to hide a smile. kirk knew it'd make it easier for jadzia to remain in control but it also would give her another friend. ]

Look who I found while rounding people up for Sickbay.

[paradaxical]

[She heard the familiar voice, and for a moment thought she was having a hallucination of her own. But James had said...]

Kira? Is that really you? What are you doing here?

[At first she was smiling, pleased to see her friend. She'd missed her so much. Then her brow creased slightly in a frown.]

You got pulled here too, didn't you.

[hippocraticly]

[Saying it had been a hectic week would be all too soft a description. It had been hell and now McCoy was trying to make sense of it. That bastard calling himself Q had not helped matters and he kneads his eyelids as he looks over the PADD. Damn blood everywhere.]

[canyonsiniowa]

Bones.

[ kirk raised his head and looked over at his friend. he winced, god damn it was so bright now. instead he lowered his head again and covered his eyes with his hand. ]

[hippocraticly]

[McCoy lowers his hand at the call of his nickname and gets up from his desk before wandering over to Jim.]

How are you holding up?

[canyonsiniowa]

It hurts like a bitch. Light sensitive now and my head is killing me -- I don't hear Frank as much, but when I do? It hurts even more.

[ He managed to look up at him. ]

What pain killers can you give me?

[kukalaka_n_me]

[Julian was making his rounds, trying to keep himself awake, and alert, and as pain free as possible without compromising the first two. He paused and reached for the raktajino he'd replicated for himself. Uggh. Cold already. How many hours had it been since he'd eaten?

He passed a tired hand over his face, and then consulted his notes again. Amaryllis' scans had proven fascinating, but he hadn't found the rosetta stone yet in terms of unlocking the secret of her immunity to the affliction the rest of the station personnel were experiencing.

He attempted to stifle a yawn. And completely failed to do so.]

[natureoftheme]

[ the doctor had been enjoying a nice, quiet few hours in the holodeck when the call came to bring him back into sickbay - just typical. transferring himself back her was ready with his greeting, and golf club ]

Please state the nature of...

[ this wasn't sickbay, and it was certainly never this busy - or filled with these people. their uniforms were off, not to mention they weren't voyagers crew ]

... the medical emergency.

[kukalaka_n_me]

Doctor Zimmerman?

[He blinked, and then shook his head and looked behind himself. Then he rubbed his eyes again.]

I must be seeing things now. Great. Fantastic. My day is complete.

[natureoftheme]

[ keywords. he'd been in some situations before but this was positively dire, like some form of epidemic ]

Doctor Zimmerman is my creator, I'm the Emergancy Medical Hologram. Could you tell me where I am?

[canyonsiniowa]

No. What's weird is being surrounded by two Spocks at the same time. That is weird.

[ he glanced up to look at ... well, himself. it must not have been .58 -- .55 then. the new uhura's kirk. literally. okay now it was weird. but there was so damn many weird things on this station it hardly mattered by this point anyways.

instead he sank back in the chair and covered his eyes with his hand against the bright light. ow. he'd rather get punched in the face than deal with the ringing and the head throbbing and the frank--frank. ]

... you hearing the bastard too?

[canyonsiniowa]

Right now, its an insane asylum. Usually? It's a station. Bones hasn't figured out what the hell is going on, and Holly is doing sweeps inside and out of the station.

[ Look at you, Jimmy Boy. Trying to act like you know what's going on and you're in charge. You can't do a damn thing right anyways. See if I pay your bailout next time!

kirk glanced at his other self as if to see that he heard that just now. ]

Tried to kill you--let me guess, .55? The one with Uhura.

[kukalaka_n_me]

[Julian set aside his notes and reached for mug of tarkalean tea. Which of course was cold. He grimaced as he made himself swallow the sip he'd taken.

He needed a break. He was practically dead on his feet, and now with the EMH here, he perhaps could afford to close his eyes for an hour or two.

But not before checking on a certain patient first.

He moved into the next room, where it was quieter, the lights lowered significantly to help people rest and try to sleep. Silently, he approached Gaila's bed, just to be sure she was resting peacefully and no longer in any pain or distress. He noticed that the blanket she'd pulled over herself had slipped down, so he gently tugged it back up over her shoulder again.]

[aeruginous]

[ gaila was, as one could suppose, a light sleeper. even if she ought to be exhausted, any rest she'd gotten was sporadic - she usually woke up when the door was opened or someone turned over. her alertness was roused by someone entering the room, but she tried to ignore it; when they pulled the blanket up, she opened her eyes and slowly turned over.

oh, look who it was. her best friend. no, it wouldn't do to be bitter. any sourness she'd have to express on her own time, so she kept it perfectly hidden. ]

What time is it?

[kukalaka_n_me]

Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.

[He gave her a gentle apologetic smile]

It's roughly 2100 hours. I know you're probably getting sick of hearing me say this, but...how are you feeling? Any better?

[aeruginous]

A pindrop would wake me. I'm not a deep sleeper.

[ somewhat of an exaggeration, but she smiled back slightly. ]

Yeah. I haven't had any more hallucinations. I didn't even dream. What about you?
