Commander Jackson Antilles and his staff had been heavily reinforced for this particular assignment and when the wounded and injured started rolling in, his people were more than prepared to receive them. Jackson moved from bed to bed, seeing to those who were waiting for treatment, as he was busy checking them over, administering painkillers and generally making sure that they were safe. Some believed him while others were harder to convince.

"The Empire has fallen," Antilles commented evenly, he had switched back into his normal uniform for this effort and his people had done likewise with many of the female medics being able to appreciate the thought, many of them were stuck with a uniform with a miniskirt and fishnets or a miniskirt and nothing.

"What... The Empire is gone... Who leads us now?" one person asked of him.

Jackson nodded. "April Yamaguchi has assumed the mantle of Empress, for now, she said various promises but we shall see if she lives up to them." he shrugged. "In any event, you are all more than welcome to come with us... You do not need to remain here."

"To go where!" the same person said out loud.

"I know this might sound strange... But we are not from around here..." Antilles commented

"The portal... It worked!" came a voice. "I'm Commander Hannah Mueller, ISS Shield of Vega," she announced herself.

"Welcome Commander, and yes, it worked. The Empire managed to piss off another Federation enough to send us here for various reasons," he explained as the door opened and in came Commander Yamaguchi with two young adults who had seen better days. "Doctor. I think these are the last two."

"Oh nice, bring them over here and I will see to their various needs and issues." Antilles went over to the last biobed. The male regarded Antilles with a measure of suspicion whereas the female regarded him with a measure of trepidation. "Take a seat you two. This won't take long." Enyo said in soft, reassuring tones to what was her lost children, now reunited at long last.

Antilles came over. "Alright, let's see..." as he went to work, starting with Benjamin. "This won't take long.," he said to Enyo. "I assume they will stay with you for the time being?"

"Yes..." Enyo answered quietly. "I'll take them home and get them cleaned up..." she commented. "This is Benjamin and Ethelyn. My lost children."

"Well, Infinity's living spaces are very good at taking care of matters." Antilles turned back to Benjamin. "You seem to be in good shape, all things considered... You are malnourished but some good solid meals will take care of that over time." as he produced some medication. "This is a vitamin booster and general painkiller, it'll allow you to move around the population of the ship without bringing a plague or other issues aboard."

"Proceed, Doctor," Benjamin answered as Antilles administered the medication to him before he tended to his various wounds, documenting them before erasing them with his medical equipment, he then repeated the process with Ethelyn, notion that she was in better shape and she had wounds consistent with a struggle. He assumed that she had been raped and a quick check indicated that while she might have been raped in the past, there was nothing to indicate rape had been recent. "Alright, I would like you two to take it easy for the next while... Generally get lots of rest, lots of food and drink.. and try not to drink the lounge dry... I know these people will make an effort to do so."

Enyo nodded. "Could you send me a copy of your medical report please Doc... I'd like to read it at length."

"I can do that but it'll take a couple of days..." Antilles answered her. "But I think they both could do with seeing less of this place and more with seeing your home," he added.

"That's fine... Come on you two... Let's go get you both cleaned up." and with that Enyo departed sickbay, her two children followed in silence.

Ethelyn looked at the hallways in silence. "What took so long, mom?"

"I had to prove my worth to this Starfleet... To the people, I now work with." Enyo answered softly. "The universe I now call home is a different place... Filled with contradictions and some insanity, people who are dead here, are alive there and some who are dead there are alive here. Others are alive in both and some are dead in both... Some here who are your enemies will be your friends there and vice versa."

"Yet, you wear the uniform of the Empire." Ethelyn brushed a lock of matted hair out of her eyes.

"I suspect that Captain T'Shaamet will order her crew to switch back to the normal uniforms, now that our goals in this reality have been completed... We should be heading home now."

Benjamin regarded his mother. "I didn't think you'd come back."
