Captain Torilla Yamaguchi blinked her eyes open as she found herself lying facedown on the deck. "Uhh..." she moaned softly. "Jake... no more sex... I... wait... What?"

Javier Morales knelt above her. "Easy Torilla... You took quite the tumble." he gently smiled down at her. "We're alright... the Courageous is still in one piece, such as she is."

Torilla gently grasped his outstretched hand as he gently hauled her to her feet. "Rachel?" he turned to his wife who was busy checking over the bridge crew. "Yeah yeah. A moment," she responded as she gently pressed something to the neck of her Bolian chief conn officer who sighed softly. "Uhh..." she moaned softly. "I need this one in sickbay... right who needs me now?"

"The Captain-" Morales began with a smile.

"Is fine, I just need a drink thank you." Torilla finished for him with a smile but the blood trickling down her face from her nose said she was anything but fine.

Haig regarded the larger woman. "Well first things first..." she commented as she gave Torilla the once over. "Other then your nose, you're fine.." she rumbled.

Jiao Anderson sighed softly. "I feel funny... like after the Pineapple incident." she muttered softly to herself, she had managed to avoid the worst of the effects of the energy discharge on the bridge but Thoris had not. "You okay girl?" she asked the Bolian next to her.

"I feel like I was in an orgy.." Thoris responded. "and the men were especially brutal to my body."

"Yeah I know how that feels." Jiao admitted.

Thoris glanced at her, surprise etched onto her face. "Seriously?"

"Yes..... come on." Jiao Anderson rose to her feet as she gently helped
Toris Jaest out of her chair and into a nearby turbolift which sped her and her helper away from the scene.

Meanwhile in the Commanding Officers Quarters. Admiral Jake Yamaguchi was busy calming the frightened nerves of the twins who were home from daycare because he was there. Tressa was wailing at the top of her lungs as Jake sought to calm her as Nix clutched his fathers chest, he was sobbing in sync with his twin. "Its okay guys.... shhh.... Daddy's here.." he gently soothed them both as Grey Wind poked his head out from under the coffee table where he and his litter mate had taken refuge during all the chaos and confusion.

The cats had taken refuge under the bed as Silversides peered out over the bedroom with her two golden eyes. "Meow?" she asked.

She got several responses back. "Meow." came the replies from her children as she had been reunited with Noble Team because Sandstorm and Perdicus couldn't get along with her so Rachael had asked her mother to take Silversides from her.

Rachael had explained why ten days earlier and she had a young child in the house so rather then drag things out, she decided to help Silversides by re-homing her.

Silversides gently began grooming Jorge who was now only slightly smaller then she herself was as he purred at her, the cats all around them gently reassuring each other that all would be alright.

Meanwhile down in the hangar deck. Major Nicole Vollen was busy checking all of the assembled pilots. "Well.. that was a nice ride." one of the pilots commented at her.

"Tell me about it... other then scrapes, we're all good." as she tapped her combadge. "Vollen to bridge, Hanger bay and starfighter command is a hundred percent, no wounded down here."

"Understood. Stand your guys down to alert fifteen... No need to telegraph our presence."

"Understood bridge." she paused. "First Squadron, to the mess hall. Everyone else. go home or go make yourselves useful.

Meanwhile the commanders of second and third wing were doing more of the same as Naota's thoughts drifted to the woman her called mother, she had asked him to come serve with her and he had said yes but not because of the fact that it was her, it was the fact that he had been reunited with her. "I hope you're okay." he whispered softly while he looked up at the ceiling.

Meanwhile in Engineering. Lt Commander Rachael Falanner sighed softly as she tapped her combadge. "Bridge, Engineering." she said softly. "The explosions have stopped.... I'm going back in with my guys, we're going to start a set of full diagnostics.."

"Let me know what you find." came a female voice over the com system.

"Willdo skipper." Falannar responded. a soft smile on her face as she entered Engineering, the forcefields looked like they had contained the worst of all of the damage. "Parker, Fredrick's... look after those forcefields... everyone else, lets get this done."

Meanwhile in sickbay, one could be forgiven for thinking it was something akin to a large riot had suddenly broken out as there was a lot of people moving around, a lot of raised voices and a lot of shouting. "Thats Enough!" a loud voice cut through the din with the force of a hot knife through butter with the effect of silencing everyone in the vicinity. "Let the medics work... and stop nagging and yelling. You'll each be seen in turn. Next person who starts shouting will answer to ME!" John Burgoyne who was also known as 'The Hammer' yelled. "I know it hurts... whatever your issues are.. and I know it sucks but we are all in this together... and we should come together and let the medics work... so we can heal you and send you home or back to your posts with a minimum of fuss. Settle down people.."

Meanwhile down the lounge. Crum Widdy shrugged his massive shoulders. "I cannot know what the Captain is doing?"

"I've been sitting here for over a week, worthless and useless."

"So.. write a story about this incident, Federation ships gets tossed into deep space."

"I will... Thank you."
