Celeste Yamaguchi was enjoying herself as she wore a simple cocktail dress while dancing on the dance floor, having a great time as the music was playing loudly in her ears and for a time she was able to forget her troubles.
After the song was over she came back to the table where Hobbs was sitting. "Ahh that was great."
"I haven't had fun like that in a while." Hobbs replied as she sat down. Far back in the crowd Ro'chok sat in silence and waited.
Yamaguchi smiled. "Skip this song and then go again?" she inquired.
"Sounds good" Bri replied. "I'm having a good time. I can do this all night."
"Sounds good to me." Celeste responded as she sipped her drink, she place her glass down as she blinked. "Since we're skipping this song.. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.. I won't be too long." as she effortlessly stood up and departed off into the crowd.
"I'll be waiting right here." Hobbs replied back.
Celeste went into the bathroom as she suddenly felt and heard someone behind her, she turned and thats when she felt her world go sideways. She heard someone scream as everything went black.
About twenty minutes or so went by and Celeste did not return to the table as one of the waiters came over. "You get stood up?" he inquired as he placed a glass of water before Brianna Hobbs.
"No, we are a couple. We live together. Thank you though." Brianna told the waiter. Hobbs was a little worried. Maybe Celeste had gotten sick off the food? Brianna thought. Brianna decided to go look for Celeste.
Brianna entered the restroom. A few young women were at the mirror reapplying make up and gossiping. Brianna moved past them. She went to the back of the large bathroom. She could hear whimpering from one of the stalls.
Cautiously, Brianna opened the door. On the floor and curled in a ball was the naked form of Celeste. Her tattered clothing was in a ball next to her. Hobbs went for her comm badge. "Hobbs to Dreamcrusher, emergency! I have one that needs to go to sickbay. Also call star base security, we may have a crime scene."
Celeste's eyes snapped open, the terror that oozed there might as well have been a real thing considering the light that shone like the stars in the skies over Rigel. "Umm... whats going on?" she inquired weakly. "I'm...I think I'm alright... Its cold." she whispered. It came out more as a whimper.
The voice from the Dreamcrusher came back. "Understood sir. Medical has been informed. Stand by for beam out."
Celeste sighed. "Two.. from this location, energize whenever you're... ready." she whispered.
The two women were beamed away from the location. Once they were in Dreamcrushers sickbay, the medics who were assembled went into action, this was their skipper and friend as Elizabeth Yamaguchi came over with Lieutenant Shorin Gal'jaridd, the Gamma Shift commander. "Alright, lets move her onto one of the beds." Elizabeth nodded as she gently slid her hands and arms under Celeste's knees and her upper back. "You're gonna be okay Celeste, I have you... I got you... your safe now."
"I can't feel anything." Celeste whimpered softly.
Elizabeth nodded as she gently reassured her cousins that all was well. "It'll be okay Celeste, your safe and you're getting help.." as she gently picked her up in her arms before she gently placed her on the bed.
Selgae entered the sickbay and one look in her eyes could tell that this Caitian female was downright enraged. She paused a moment before she went over to Hobbs. "What happened Mmmrr.." she inquired as she produced a PADD. "I have sent a team to that nightclub and I will have that location processed.. and if the owner gives me any kind of crap.. I will feast upon his bones.."
Elizabeth turned her head as she regarded the Caitian female, she didn't doubt the feline meant every word as a smile graced her soft features before she gently ran her hand over Celeste's forehead. "I'm right here..."
"I'm cold." Celeste responded.
Elizabeth gently unrolled a thermal blanket before she draped it over her aunt's body. "We'll have you shipshape in no time."
"I think she was attacked by a Klingon." Hobbs told Selgae. "His name is Ro'chok. He is a major and serves on the Argonne. He was stalking us tonight."
Selgae hissed angrily as she tapped her combadge. "Selgae to Zuko. I need you in sickbay right now."
Zuko showed up a minute later, asking. "Whats going on here?."
Selgae's fur was standing on end and the like, she looked downright enraged. "Sir." she paused as she tried to calm down. "Celeste has been sexually assaulted. The suspect is at large.. a Klingon Major named Ro'Cholk has been implicated."
Just the the door opened as the angry face of Tanya Stevenson came into the room. "I'm gonna..ahh Skipper.. the report that you'll want to read.." she paused. "Run... that bastard down!" she growled to the security officer. "So....?" Selgae inquired of the Doctor.
"Yeah. Its official." Stevenson responded.
Zuko took the padd, thinking for a minute. He didn't like to jump to conclusions, so he asked the computer," Computer, how many klingon males are currently in starbase 12 and the surrounding ships."
The computer took a minute to answer, "fifty seven, Commander Noq't, Major Ro'cholk, Commander Kolar, Staff Sergeant,..
Zuko cut off the computer,..."Ok stop." he then face palmed," Right, there is a klingon vessel docked with the starbase at the moment."
Selgae hissed loudly before she shook her head. "Selgae to Security. send someone over to the Song of the East, bring me Commander Kolar.." she ordered. "I would speak with him in person."
"Copy Chief, We're on it." came the response. "I will handle Nog't.." Selgae added. "Deal with our own first... I've served with Kolar before.. I would look him in the eye when I ask."
Zuko immediately said to Selgae, "Selgae, patience, don't go around on a crusade just yet, wait until we know who it is, we don't want to raise the alarm just yet when we don't know who it is, and possibly send the guy running. we need to know who we are looking for first."
"We only have three, no wait, four Klingons in the battlegroup.. I want to eliminate Nog't, Kolar and this Ensign Tanj first... I will be fine... once I calm down." she regarded Zuko. "I served with Kolar before... I can't believe he'd have something to do with this.."
Zuko nodded, "Be sure to calm down before making a ruckus everywhere, I'll handle talking to the base." He then left sickbay and went up to his ready room where he contacted April and Jake Yamaguchi. "April, Jake, your cousin, Celeste Yamaguchi has just been sexually assaulted by a Klingon Male, we don't know who yet."
April was chatting with Jake over a cup of coffee when Zuko broke the news. She blinked. "What?" she inquired before she tapped her combadge. "Yamaguchi to Andreyev." she commented softly.
"Go ahead Admiral?"
"Initiate a class one lockdown of the base.. we have..." she paused as words failed her, she knew something of rape and she was doubtless reliving memories even now, Jake saw this and he stepped in almost effortlessly. "one of our officers was just sexually assaulted... do it quietly and use guys who are reliable... no hotheads for this job Commander."
"Consider it done Admiral."
"Thanks Pasha." April responded quietly.
Meanwhile Celeste blinked as she looked at the Doctor. "Break it down for me... what happened?"
"Tanya Stevenson regarded her boss and friend. "Celeste.. Try to remain calm..." she explained. "You were raped."
"What!" Celeste responded quietly. "I..." she stopped before she tried again, only to stop and stammer.
Brianna grabbed hold of Celeste's hand. "Celeste. Honey, I am right here. Your safe now."
Celeste looked at Hobbs. "What happened?" she whispered.
"Just sit back and relax Honey." Bri told Celeste. "They are just doing a medical exam. They will be finished soon."
Celeste nodded her head as she whimpered. "Hold me..." she whispered. "I didn't see him... I didn't even know... he was there.."
Hobbs held onto Celeste. "I'm right here and not going anywhere." Brianna gently told the woman. Brianna than looked up at the nurse. "Please tell me a psychiatric trauma specialist is coming?"
Tanya nodded. "She should be here soo-" she was interupted as a Bolian medical officer walked in. "Hey.." she greeted those present. "What's going on?."
"I need you to assess the patient, its Celeste."
"Okay." Shorin smiled warmly at Brianna Hobbs. "Hi... I'm Shorin Gal'jeridd." she introduced herself. "Normally I don't see my boss in my line of work. Mind if I get some background first?" she inquired.
Celeste looked up at the taller Bolian. "Shorin... I.."
"Its okay Celeste.. We'll work though this... but first.." as she gently sat down in a chair next to Celeste's bed. "Tanya?" the Bolian regarded the Asian looking human woman that was so angry, she was unable to control herself.
"Yeah?... Oh. right." as Stevenson turned and departed. She needed to calm down and everyone knew it.
"Are you Celeste's next of kin?" Shorin asked Hobbs. "I'm reluctant to tell her family for the reaction it'll cause.. The Yamaguchi's are not known for the emotional stability or self control when one of their own gets hurt." the Bolian explained.
"We are domestic partners." Brianna told Shorin. "And I think your probably right about a Yamaguchi reaction."
The Bolian smiled. "Ahh... you're Brianna Hobbs then. Celeste has spoken of you. Apparently you're the only one keeping her sane." the Bolian joked. "But Celeste don't worry about a thing, we're gonna take good care of you okay.?" she smiled warmly at Celeste who nodded. "I feel... I don't know what I'm feeling... I want to tear his throat out with my own teeth.."
"Feelings of extreme anger is common, its also normal... but we're gonna get him, they've already begun looking for your attacker and he will pay for his crimes, you may be assured of that." as she gently took Celeste's hand. "Its gonna be alright... but not today and not tomorrow.." the Bolian explained. "Its okay to be angry... and fearful... but those feelings will pass in time... But only if you confront them and deal with them." with that the Bolian smiled. "We will face them... you, me.. your intended...and your kin.."
Celeste slowly smiled. "Alright... I am ready."
"Sleep first Celeste.. Let your body heal... thats the easy part... We will start your journey back to where you left off on the morrow...Now now..." as she gently smiled. "Its still too soon."
