Sickbay
Anna had arrived in Sickbay feeling slightly dizzy with green blood running down from her forehead and looked for the Chief Medical Officer and found the doc and said, "Hi Doc. I need medical attention." Anna pointed to her wound on her forehead. Anna was still feeling dizzy and grabbed a hold of a bio-bed.
Ariana was standing at the replicator about to have something to snack on when she heard someone come inside in need of medical attention. Moving quickly, as did T'Lana and moved to help get Anna up onto the bio bed. "What happened?" AJ asked as she grabbed a tricorder and began to scan Anna.
Anna laid down on the bio-bed and said, "While en-route to the bridge, I fell and hit my head on the floor pretty hard." Anna blinked her eyes a bit and she felt like as if she was seeing stars. Then, Anna asked, "What's happening to me? Sheez, I am seeing stars and feeling dizzy."
Looking at the tricorder she then looked up at Anna. "You've got a concussion... looks like its putting pressure on your inner ear. I can fix you up and you'll be ready for duty." AJ said as she picked up some tools and began to work on Anna. "How's your vision, Anna?" AJ asked as she worked.
Anna blinked her eyes a few times and said, "My vision is getting better. I think my dizziness is slowly dissipating." Anna still felt her green blood on her forehead, though.
"Good, then it's working." AJ said with smile. After more seconds she looked back down to the tricorder display. "Alright, looks like everything is going to be fine." She said and looked to Anna. "Lets see how you do when you stand up. Use me to brace with if you need it." AJ told her offering her hands.
Anna gently took her hands and slowly stood up. Anna still felt a little groggy at first. Then, Anna let go of AJ's hands and she stood for a few seconds and fell back against the bio-bed. She put her hand on her forehead and felt that her hand was wet from her green blood. Anna still had a worried look on her face and said, "I...I... must be losing blood. I think this is worse than I thought. Can you double check me for any blood loss? Also, I am soooooooooo hungry. I need to eat a live rodent." Anna closed her eyes for a moment.
"Of course," AJ said and helped her sit back down and picked up the tricorder and scanned Anna once more. "Once we are done, I'll get you something from the replicator." The blond woman said as she took deeper scan of Anna's biology. "Hold still, Anna." AJ said furrowed her brow reading the tricorder readings. "Anna, I've got a rupture in near your spleen.. are you sure you didn't hit your side?" She asked. "I'm going to have to go in and fix that."
Anna felt weak and said, "I....I think I must have hit my...desk...before fall." Even though she was weak, she was shocked that she had hurt herself worse than she thought. Then, she replied, "I am so scared, doc. Do what you need to do." Anna blinked at the doc with worry in her eyes.
"Lana, prep operation bay one..." AJ said.
T'Lana nodded and stopped what she was doing to go and make things ready for the surgery.
Anna slowly closed her eyes as she couldn't keep them open any longer and she unknowingly said, "Thank you, doc. I owe you one and I owe you my life for doing this for me." It was clear that Anna didn't know what she said as she wasn't in the right state of mind.
"Shhh, just relax and when you wake up it'll all be over with." AJ said and soothed Anna's forehead. She then motioned for T'Lana to help her move Anna's bed into the surgical bay. "Do you have anyone that you want me to contact here on the ship?" AJ asked as she made sure Anna was comfortable.
Anna felt groggy and slowly said, "Yes, please, keep Captain up-to-date." Anna was then slipping in and out of consciousness.
It took AJ nearly hour to complete the operation to repair rupture. She then took a little time to make sure no scars would be left from the dermal regeneration. Once she was done she and T'Lana moved Anna to a patient observation bay and gave her something to help her wake up.
Anna slowly opened her eyes and took in a deep breath, but continued to lay down. She didn't want to get up quickly and asked, "Where am I? What happened? Am I going to be alright?" Anna's voice was soft, tender and pleasant to listen too. She continued to blink her brown reptilian eyes as they aren't adjusted to bright light and she asked one finally question, "Can I have my dark protective eye-wear, please? My eyes hurt due to the bright light."
AJ nodded and picked them up and slid them over Anna's eyes. "You're going to be jut fine. Everything with smoothly." She said and smiled. "You might be a little tried but other then that, you're going to be just fine." Ariana assured her.
Anna softly said, "Thank you, Ariana." Anna still felt weak and tired and she hoped to get back to her duty station soon, but her main concern was to get her health and strength back.
The blond Chief Medical officer smiled. "You welcome, hon." AJ replied in her ever usual casual way. "You should rest and I'll check on you in a little while. Oh, did you still want something to eat or do you want to wait little while?" AJ asked.
Anna softly said, "Yes, one live rodent. It is in replicator program Anna One Alpha." Anna needed nourishment in order for her to heal properly.
~A live rodent, she wants a live rodent.~ AJ thought and nodded. "Okay, one live rodent coming up." The Chief Medical Officer said moving to get one from a replicator. AJ really hoped she didn't have to watch her eat the live rodent. Once she had the rodent in a small box like thing she returned to Anna. "One live rodent.." She said handing the box to Anna.
Seeing the box, Anna got enough strength to open it quickly and she quickly grabbed the squealing rodent of medium size and Anna brought the rodent to her already opened mouth and she forced the rodent in and she jerked her head back several times while swallowing it whole and still living and she continued to jerk her head a few more times as the rodent was forcibly drawn down into her stomach and once done, Anna took in a deep breath of satisfaction and she said, "Thanks, Ariana. That hit the spot just nicely. I shall rest now." Then, she closed her eyes to get some sleep to let her body heal.
"Sure... if you need anything let me know." AJ said and turned and thought about getting something for her stomach after having witnessed that.
Anna softly said, "Certainly." Then, she went into a deep sleep knowing that she would get better, all the thanks to Ariana.
OOC: we done here?
OOC2: Yep, we are done here.
Bridge
Anna Eidos, science officer and only an Ensign, managed to get back to the science station to the far left of the Captain's chair. She had accessed the external sensors and saw that a wormhole had come out of nowhere but worst of all was pulling them inside. "The gravity is too strong!" She called out, "communications is down."
Vinnie's fingers flew across the board s he watched the viewscreen and the wormhole got closer. Vinnie tapped the controls to reduce impulse power so that they would glide in, the ship stopped shaking once they stopped fighting it, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Entering wormhole Captain."
"Let ease in there," said Alex.
Ensign Marcuson the chief Intel Officer walked onto the bridge and went to the nearest open station. He looked over at the captain. "I can get comm systems back up and running in twenty minutes." said Christoph. He started to type in lintel security codes into the console.
Alex nodded.
Engine room
Scared but hiding it well Ravenomez barked orders at hir engineers to get everything working again and thankfully the shaking had stopped allowing the crew to get some purchase standing up. However it was still unstable to be up right and not hold onto anything to stay up right.
Bridge
Inside the wormhole and just as quickly the Horizon was ejected back into normal space. Anna Eidos took a few moments to regain her composure and checked her station. "Captain, the wormhole is gone. Sensor logs recorded unusual properties that is yet to be identified."
It was then that all systems slowly returned to normal operation. =^= Engineering to Bridge. What the hell just happened? =^= Came the chief engineer's shaken voice over the speakers.
Ensign Markuson looked at the systems and smiled. "Captain," he said, "we seem to be right back at where we began."
Vinnie eased the ship to a halt and tapped a few controls to run a sensor scan. "Captain, I just ran long range scans, if we are close to where we are supposed to be, something isn't quite right here. Jon can you do a check maybe the sensors are off but something isn't quite right."
Jon was looking at all the sensors and called up the beacon on the newest planet in the Federation Norta IV. He waited a little longer then he wanted then saw something off. "Captain, I think we have a Problem." Jon couldn't find any sign of an Starship traffic in the sector they were in.
Markuson looked at the sensor readings that were coming in. Christoph looked over at Lieutenant Park. "Lieutenant Park," said Christoph, "Captain Taylor, there is a Starfleet vessel decloaking off our starboard bow."
Jon Looked acrros the bridge at Christoph, "Identify starship class and registration number." Jon went and tapped his console at the same time. "Captain should I bring up Shields?" He was starting to know what was bugging him, the stars were wrong.
"No," said Alex. Alex could sense that they were no harm.
Christoph looked at the registry of the other ship. "Um................Lieutenant," said Christoph, "something is messed up with the computers, that ship that decloaked is an Intrepid class, NCC-74661-A, U.....S.....S. Horizon? This can't be right. If that is the Horizon, then what ship are we on?"
Jon looked at him "As you sure?" Jon looked at the new CO. "Captain i belive i know what happened." Jon knew it as soon as the ship declocked. "We are in another universe."
"Lieutenant Park," said Markuson, "Captain Taylor, we are being hailed by the other ship."
Markuson stood there at his station and waited for more orders.
"Vinnie turned back to the Captain, wondering what her next move is. He tapped a message to Lieutenant Park asked him if they are the same match for them as far as weapons outside of the cloaking device.
"Hail them," said Alex.
Jon saw the message the XO send him and ran a few scans, He saw the hulls were the same except they had a few more ports fir what Jon thought could be weapons. There power systems were lower then theres. Jon typed back they were they same the only deference was the cloak.
Christoph looked at the information he had gotten from some of the sensor sweeps. He looked at Captain Taylor. "Captain," he said, "I have a channel open so you can talk to that other ship. It is only on audio now. When you are ready, you can speak."
Alex nodded. "Captain Taylor, to the other ship at our port side," said Alex.
Other Horizon
Vinnie had been in the Captains ready room with Horizons Captain, they had been discussing the delta quadrant they had been sailing through for several days, when the bridge called them.
=^= Bridge to Ready room, we have a ... situation; could you both come to the bridge Captain. =^= Ravenomez, the XO, said over the comm.
Vinnie looked at Alex. "I wonder what this is about." He said then tapped his commbadge. =^= "On our way Commander." =^=
Alex King had walked out of her ready room. "What is going on?"
"There appears to be an identical vessel to ours out there," Ravenomez gestured to the viewscreen and there it was although slightly different hull colour but the class and name were the same.
"They are hailing," announced the Tactical officer.
"Open the channel, but audio only," said Alexandria King.
Vinnie looked at Alex. "Think this could be a trick?"
Jon saw a channel opened and he said "Captain they have responded Audio Only." Jon tapped the controls and open the channel on there end.
"This is Captain King, and whom am I talking to?"
USS Horizon
"Captain Taylor," said Alex.
Other Horizon
"Captain, would you mind on beaming over. I think we have something we need to discuss in person."
Vinnie looked at Alex. "I think a armed escort would be prudent, if this is a trick I would prefer to rely on the side of caution."
USS Horizon
"Sure," said Alex.
Vinnie turned and looked at the captain. "You are not going by yourself are you?"
"Yes," said Alex.
"Could we discuss this in your ready room please." Vinnie asked standing.
Jon looked up when she said this "Captain may i say that is not a good thing according to Starfleet regulations this calls for a full security escort. if not them at least your CSTO and First officer." Jon said making sure he made the last part crystal clear.
"Spare me Starfleet regulations. I am going over there. Captain's prerogative." Said Alex.
=^= Bridge this is Engineering, what the hell is going on? =^= Ravenomez called for the second time as shi was ignored the last time.
=^=It looks like we have come face to face with another Horizon=^= Alex said.
A pause followed by several hushed voices in the background. =^= What? Like the mirror universe? =^= Ravenomez asked.
Vinnie tapped his commbadge. "No chief we are facing another horizon." Vinnie turned to the captain. "Not by yourself. I wont stop you from going over but not on your own at least let me go with you."
"No," said Alex. "This is something I have to do all by myself."
"Captain, starfleet regulations state that no captain shall enter a possible dangerous situation without armed escort." Vinnie said.
"I am going all by myself," said Alex "Or shall I state that on multiple occasions that Captain Picard had gone on away missions all by himself."
"Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you but this is far from normal, plus something just isn't right here you could be walking into danger, with no help or weapon." Vinnie stated.
"I will be fine," said Alex.
"Captain, don't make me file a formal protest." Vinnie stated.
"You do that," said Alex. Alex then headed off to the turbolift.
Vinnie looked at Jon. "Jon have a armed security team standing at the transporter room doors no one is to get through them I will take responsibility for this."
Jon Nodded and tapped his combadge. "Park to Secuirty team alpha and Charlie, i want the corridor around Transporter room 3 locked off and all crew ready. I want all personal with 3 hand phasers and class 3 phaser rifles." Park ended he sall and turned to Lt. wolf. "Sir permission to join the secuirty detail?"
Vinnie tapped his commbadge. "Bridge to engineering, shut down power to all transporters until further notice, no one countermands this order not even the Captain herself."
=^= Aye sir, =^= Ravenomez replied although shi had a confused tone in hir voice and shut down the transporters throughout the ship.
"Don't you dare," said Alex to Engineering. "Lieutenant, you are out of line. I know what I am doing. I sense no ill will from them."
"That maybe so but you are not considering all the variables, obviously this ship has a cloaking device, we did not know they were there until they decloaked, how do we know there are no other ships out there, that maybe friends of theirs?" Vinnie asked.
"I will be fine," said Alex. "I just have to see this on my own. Don't forget that Captain Picard has been placed in far more dangerous areas than where I am heading. I will be careful."
=^= What is going on up there? =^= Ravenomez cut in via the bridge intercom.
"Captain things have changed since Captain Picard has been in command. Also i agree with Lt.Wolf, You really have no idea what to expect over there." Jon motioned to the Main Veiwer. "If you don't want to listen to reason then i respectfuly request you take a micro Phaser with you, for your own protection."
"Fine," said Alex.
