=/-\= Chimera Sick Bay =/-\=
Major Cortez, Chief of Security, former ODA Unit Commander was laying
neatly on a bunk in sickbay when he jolted awake from the medicated
sleep he was put under. The first thing he noticed were several
different wires running from his body, mainly his chest which was
bandaged tightly. He took a deep breath, sat up and looked around.
"DOCTOR", he started to scream but the pain emanating from his chest
shot to his brain and forced him to fall back onto the bed. He
immediately sat buck up and twisted his body so that his feet could
touch the ground.
"Major!...what are you doing?" A nurse had rushed to his side telling
him to lay back and would have explained the reasons why had he given
her a chance. Scott, in the next bay, heard the commotion and,
hurrying to find the cause, was astounded to see Cortez struggling
with the young woman who was actually doing well in her efforts to
keep him where he was.
"Major.." he said " just calm down..lay back on the bed, you're in no
fit state to move."
Cortez was confused, last he remembered was thinking he was going to
die, being rescued, then wishing he had died when he realized he had
failed at his mission. As Fisher approached the Major pushed the
nurse out of the way and stood on his feet. He ripped the wires that
were connected to him off and took a step forward wincing at the pain,
"The Captain needs me", he said stopping to catch his breath.
Multiple alarms began to sound as soon as the wires disconnected and
the patient left the biobed. The nurse, grabbed hold of Cortez' arm
expecting, as Scott did too, that he would collapse at any moment.
"The captain can wait." Scott replied grasping the Majors arm. "Sit
down before you cause yourself more problems."
Feeling arms grab him Cortez swung a reactionary fist and immediately
connected with Fishers face. "GET OFF ME", he again attempted to
scream, except this time instead of falling back into a bed he fell
forward onto the cold hard floor. He grunted as the floor met his
body with a thud. Somehow still conscious he began crawling towards
the door.
"SECURITY!!" the nurse yelled, narrowly missing being dragged to the
floor too. She looked from Cortez to Scott, both now on the floor and
chose, against all her training, to move to Scott. " Are you OK?" she
asked urgently, kneeling beside him. Scott shook his head to clear the
bright lights that seemed to fill his vision. " Fine." he replied
gently exploring his jaw with his fingers. He scrambled to his feet.
"Help me get him onto the bed." he said, looking down at
Cortez.Natalie did as he asked and between them they managed to get
their patient back onto the biobed.
The Major out of energy was in no shape to resist and soon found
himself back in the bed that he had just stumbled out of. Gazing over
at Fisher he realized what he had done. "I'm sorry" he managed to say
before his eyes began to feel too heavy too hold up and he once again
drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
The wires were reconnected although more damage had been done when
they had been ripped out. "Its fine." Scott replied, paying little
attention to Cortez but concentrating more on the results that the
sensors were showing. "Is he alright?" Natalie asked quietly although
it was plain to see that he was not. She turned her head at two
security guards ran towards them.
"No." Scott replied. " He'll be lucky to make it as far as Unity."
