Ensign Carmen Tis - Well tried Lieutenant, well tried.

[Lisa LadybirD]

Tis: What a bump that was!

Marshall: You can say that again. Do you remember where we are?

:: Carmen carefully turned her head toward the Lieutenant commander.::

oO Check! Oo

:: Carmen squeezed her eyes tightly and tried to block out the ringing in her ears, as she attempted to gather her thoughts. Clenching her fists and taking a deep breath in...::

Tis: We are on the Dakota vessel, USS Njörðr. :: Carmen took another deep breath & reopened her eyes to see a smiling Marshall close by:: going to the conference.

Marshall: Yeah, the Njörðr. Something's happened to the ship. We've switched gravity and we're starting to move out of Sickbay. Are you hurt?

:: Carmen was unsure how to answer that. Yes she was hurting, but was it just a scratch or something more serious? Better to be safe than sorry.::

Tis: Lieutenant, I hate to bother you, :: She brought on the flashiest smile she could muster right now.:: but I have something pinning down my leg and as for my shoulder blades...could you please take a quick look and tell me the damage? A scratch I'm sure but, well, to be sure. 

Marshall: Response

:: Carmen heard another voice nearby, but the ringing in her ears was somewhat blocking out clarity.::

Tis: I need to get moving, people need us. Need to find out how many casualties.

:: Carmen attempted to get up, but the burn spread across her shoulders once more, this time causing her to let out an uncontrollable scream.::

Tis: Yyyyaaaaaaannnnnnngggeeerrrr!

Marshall: Just hang on, Ensign. The Doctor is on his way.

::Carmen could sense a little more "off" than her Lieutenant was saying. She was unsure if it was HER or the ship's situation. Marshall looked up and Carmen followed her gaze, to see  Sim limping toward them.::

Tis: Apologies for the outburst Lieutenant. Are you okay there sir?::Carmen aimed the question at her medical superior:: It's nice to see another familiar face.

Sim: Response

Marshall: She had a half-biobed on her legs, but I can't see much damage there. It seems to be affecting her upper back. See where the burn pattern is?

Tis: A burn?
:: Carmen pondered the burning predicament for a moment, trying to ascertain what could have caused a burn.:: 

Sim: Response

:: Sim began a scan over Carmen as she shut her eyes again and tried to focus.::

oO Woman, just GET UP!. Oo

Marshall: Hang in there, Ensign. You're doing great.

Tis: Lieutenant ::She turned her slightly toward her Lieutenant, gritted her teeth and forced a closed smile:: I AM good. I AM awake. But I need to get to people that need us. WE need to get out of here sir!

:: Tis looked away again. She felt half angry at herself for saying words so sternly toward the higher ranks, but she knew it was a semi-peptalk at herself too.::

Marshall: Response

Sim: Response

:: Carmen felt a slight vibration go through the ship. Well, THAT wasn't a good sign.::

Tis: Whats the ship status Lieutenant Marshall? And Sim :: She pointed her head toward him.:: All signs are good here, right?

Marshall: Alright, Ensign. Tell me about yourself. Tell me anything. Where were you born? What was your first tribbles name? Why did you choose Medical?

oO She's trying to distract me, but why? I know i'll live, it's only a scratch, but why is she making me focus on her? Oo

:: Carmen gave her Lieutenant a look. The one with a raised eyebrow and a tight mouth.::

:: She very gently sat up as best she could, flailing an arm out for someone to catch. As she did so, her bum moved slightly backwards and there came the pain once again, this time her leg as well as her shoulders. But, she was sat up now.::

oO Progress. Now, what's she covering up? Oo

Tis: About me huh? How about a Saurian Brandy when we get out of here and I will fill you in a little?:: Carmen smiled over at her with genuinity.::

oO Good luck Marshall. Oo

Marshall: Response

:: Carmen had a bad feeling that she was about to get a whole burst of pain before anything got better. She looked over at her Chief.::

Sim: Response
