USS Phoenix
Bridge

A console near Dea's location exploded forcing her to land on the ground a short distance away from her station. Severly shaken her turned her head right catching a glimpse of Captain Shayla Mialin on the floor. Dea shoved aside her own pain to check on Phoenix's Commanding Officer. It took her a few agonizing moments but she managed to reach Mialin's side.

Meanwhile Commander Var attempted to contact sickbay, "Var to Sickbay. Send a medical team to the bridge immediately. Captain Mialin is down, severely injured. We also have others wounded up here."

Dr Zane responded a short time later, "On the way. We'll be prepared down here."

Over the next several minutes Dea lost track of everything that was happening. Doing her best to maintain control. Even though she felt like falling apart it was necessary for her to remain strong.

It didn't take long for Var to reach his two crewmates. Addressing Dea, "Let's take a look at you. Medical is on the way. We can't do anything more for the Captain up here." Carefully reaching over to get a closer look at the Assistant Chief Strat Ops officer.

Sickbay

Dea resisted the urge to pace there was nothing she could do but wait, besides medical had ordered her to stay in bed. Lying there her only option was to let out a frustrated sigh. Phoenix's bridge had been utter chaos as she'd been helped to sickbay behind Captain Mialin's stretcher. While she'd received initial medical treatment, the rest had been put on hold until they'd dealt with Captain Mialin.
Not quite an hour had passed since the battle ended.

"Dea I need to ask you something urgent. Right now I know you're hurting and in shock. However there is one last thing you can do for Shayla. She's dying so this is her last wish, to save the Mialin symbiont. You are the only option."

Surprised to hear Dr Zane's voice Dea listened carefully, "I'll do it. What about the Trill Symbiont commission?"

"Commander Var just notified me they've agreed. They're sending a rep to meet with you but understand that we have to do the surgery now. Commander Var will be here shortly and be waiting for you. Shayla wants to talk to you then we'll take you both into surgery."

Dea could only nod because her head was spinning more than it had been before. "Then lets not delay any further. "
