Mission: Mission 41: The Changing of the Guard
Location: Various Locations - Starbase 12
Timeline: 1000Hrs - August 25th, 2391

Aerin Ranval stood on the bridge of the Nightstalker with Gyce, the Romulan ship he had having been thoroughly trashed. the USS Miami was flying beside Nightstalker, towing the crippled USS Crazy Horse into dock. Aerin hailed the starbase, and April's face came on screen, with Aerin stating, "We got her April."

"Well Done Commander." April sounded overjoyed. "I see you brought me gifts too... how thoughtful of you... My husband will be so envious... the best he could do was a chocolate sponge cake." it was an inside joke as April smiled at the thought of it.

Jake Yamaguchi who was listing to this couldn't contain himself any longer before he finally started laughing.

Aerin nodded, then added, "Also we have Captain Alex Carey in our brig, where do you want this loser."

"I want him in mine..." she turned to Pasha Andreyev. "Let Commander Blackmer know he has guests.." she turned back to Aerin. "Go ahead and bring them in, we have the best cells in the brig for this... and do you want your guys helping us out with this... or no?"

Aerin shook his head, "No not much else right now, Miami will be the one to bring Crazy horse to wherever you want it."

Nalla, who was listening on the line, cut in, "Send Captain Tane to Roanoke's sickbay now. I want the attending medic's to send me a tox screen as well."

Aerin nodded and contacted Ramirez, "Ramirez, beam yourself and Captain Tane over to Roanokes sickbay."

Ramirez nodded. "We're on our way." came the response as he went about arranging things.

Aerin then turned to Gyce, "By the way, there is a sealed box, that I just put in Nightstalkers cargo bay, might want to get some of our engineers that can be trusted to keep their mouths shut to get around to installing it."

"Will do, Aerin," Gyce promised as she went to powering down the ship.

Ramirez appeared in the sickbay, holding Zara Tane in her arms. "Okay, where do you want her?" he inquired. "she has numerous injuries." he also was taking care to support her head. "She's also got a concussion.." as he handed a PADD off to the nearest doctor. "Thats the tox screen."

"Surgical bed 1," Nalla spoke in a rush as she signaled for Doctor Fordring to come with her. "I need you to run analysis on a brain tissue biopsy, Doctor Fordring, while I attempt to reduce the swelling in her right temple. Have one of the nurses set up a dextrose solution of one-hundred thousand milliliters, running fifty over sixty to get her glucose to rise to a more stable level."

Ralih came over with her own gear in hand. "I'll take care of the drip." she said to Fordring who nodded. "Let me get the brain tissue biopsy." as Fordring began working on her assignment.

Nalla gave her thanks in nodded as she ran the alpha wave inducer on Tane. Then she slipped on a pair of gloves and began to cut Tane's clothes off, only to find unclear bruising on the woman's stomach. Old and rigid.

Nalla blindly palmed for her tricorder and ran her med scanner over the abdomen. "Someone get me a gown for Captain Tane," Nalla called out while she tried to diagnose the symbiont's condition.

"Doctor Windpirit? What are you best at? Symbiont contusions or neural reconstructions?" Nalla asked to the medics near her.

Windspirit shook her head, "Unfortunately I have little experience with Trill Symbiont's, I'd be better with neural reconstruction."

Sokanon came over with her kit in hand, wanting to be of use. "Doctor, everyone else from the mission checks out." she reported as she brought over a surgical gown. "For the skipper."

Fordring smiled. "I have the test results... Oooh boy." she sighed. "Its a right mess Nalla.." as she produced the results on the screen before her.

"The symbiont has been damaged," Nalla informed to those around her and looked to Fordring once more. "Please make a bath for Tane to go in. I need to get him stable, so I would like you, Doctor Sokanon, to run the bowl and make sure The Captain does not have any internal bleeding the med scanners have not picked up on."

Fordring nodded. "I'll handle the bath for Tane." she responded as Sokanon nodded. "I'll look after Zara." as both women went into action with the looks of a professional football team.

"I need someone to tell the command staff that I need a patch to Captain Tane's mother, Ambassador Blon," Nalla spoke across the room to any of the medics unassigned. "She and her government need to be informed of Tane's critical condition."

Sokanon nodded. "I'll take care of it Doctor." she responded as Fordring shifted to begin working on Zara's body. "I'll handle Zara."

"All right Mister Tane, let's see how I can help you," Nalla spoke to the slug after she gently opened Zara up to pull him out. He let off an electrical hiss. "Fascinating... I have heard of symbionts performing said self-defense mechanism."

Fordring meanwhile watched the life signs monitor carefully. "Okay. we have ninety hours." she stated as she waved her tricorder over Zara's prone form. "I'll have an easier time healing her injuries now."

"I believe your years of experience make you me second in command," Nalla spoke conversationally as she gently began to treat Tane. In his bath water, he moved very feebly. And kept sending off electrical signals when Nalla tried to touch him. "He keeps lashing out at me... Do you think he is experiencing PTSD?"

Fordring smiled. "I will endeavor to see to it that Sickbay runs as a well oiled machine Doctor." she paused. "I suspect its possible.. He was abused in much the same fashion as Zara herself was.."

Sokanon poked her head out of the office. "Doctor. I have the Ambassador for you." she reported to Nalla.

"I suppose we should give Tane a few minutes or so in the bath, so he feels comfortable," Nalla surmised as she looked up at Sokanon. "We need to calm him enough so he does not electrify bath. I will let who ever is free do that while I talk with Ambassador Blon."

Sokanon nodded. "I'll handle Galiaan handle matters with Tane while I look after Zara."

Fordring commented as she gently ran a tricorder over the Tane symbiont. "Easy Tane... you're safe now." she said softly to the slug like being.

Nalla nodded to Fordring with thanks before she dabbed her hands clean and sprayed sterilelite on her hands. Then she went in her office and began a very detailed, lengthy conversation with Zara Tane's mother.

Fordring tapped her combadge. "Fording to Dreamcrusher, I need to speak with Lieutenant Yamaguchi please. Its an emergency."

"Stand by.. go ahead?" came the first voice before a second added
"Yamaguchi here?" came Elizabeth's voice. "Go ahead Galiaan. Whats going on?"

"We got the skipper down here and she's in real bad shape. I need you... Bring your veterinarian gear too."

Elizabeth frowned. "What... Oh no.. I'm on my way." as she picked up her medkit and then went to receive her second medkit, before she explained to Celeste Yamaguchi what she needed. "Alright.. good luck,"

"Thanks." Elizabeth responded before she went out the door and down the hall.

A few minutes later, Elizabeth arrived as she came over to the situation area. "Whats the situation?"

Sokanon turned as she explained the situation with Zara briefly before Fordring took over explaining why she called her. "Okay, I'll go scrub down.. and I'll be along in a moment."
