((Sickbay, Deck 10, USS Ronin))

A tone echoed through the room.  A single tone repeated in space bouncing off the walls and settling in the pit of Rox's stomach.  She placed the padd she'd been reading from on the table next to her and turned to gaze at the biobed the Suliban was lying on.  All the indicators were flat, the man's life was over.   Rox felt badly that she had not known his or the Kzinti's name.  The Kzinti had perished about 20 minutes earlier.  Rox had paused her reading to close the creature's eyes, which she now rose to do for the Suliban.  Both had blisters and sores, but their closed eyes gave them a look of peace and serenity.   Rox pulled as much air into her as her abdomen would hold.  

Rox:  ::guttural yell::  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

It was a Klingon tradition, probably not relevant to the Suliban or the Kzinti nor really to Rox.  But it summarized the feeling of frustration Rox had and perhaps a called to the next world that people were coming who needed care and compassion.  

Her yell subsided and she moved to a LCARs display.  The bodies needed to go to the morgue, but carefully given the radiolytic particles both had been exposed to.  

((Chief Surgeon's Office, Sickbay, Deck 10, USS Ronin))

Rox had given herself a 10 minute break before heading over to report to the chief surgeon.  The woman once more was perched behind her desk.  

Rox:  Dr. La Croix? ::pause::  Both the Kzinti and the Suliban have passed.  I've given instructions for them to be moved to the morgue.  Have we heard from Dr. Shortrith?  

La Croix: Response

As if in answer Rox's combadge suddenly chirped to life.  

Kel: =/\= Kel to Rox. =/\=

Rox flashed La Croix a mischievous smile.  This was just what she needed to make her feel better.

Rox: =/\= Eh?  What's up Captain Doc? =/\=

As ever V'Len had no sense of humor.  

Kel: ::flatly::  =/\= Hilarious.  The Ronin may have guests soon.  We're going to need a space for wounded.  You know the drill. =/\=

Rox: =/\=  I do, his names Stanly. ::pause::  I'm on it Cap. =/\=

La Croix: Response

Rox knew what Kel wanted.  They needed to set up a triage space in one of the empty cargo bays.  Right at the moment she was not inclined to run out the door but made a mental list of what she would need.   Suddenly an alarm sounded indicating people were being transported into sickbay.  There had been no warning and she exchanged a confused look with La Croix.  She jumped up and scurried to Ward A, hoping La Croix was behind her.  

((Ward A, Sickbay, Deck 10, USS Ronin))

The room was a very confusing scene as it was filling up with numerus children of various species.  One in particular had opened a drawer and was tossing instruments over its shoulder.  It was a strange reptilian creature and standing next to it was another mammalian creature with a devious look in his eyes.  

Rox:  Hey cut that out.  

Nelv:  Make me hot lips!

Ru/La Croix: Response

Rox hurried toward the small creature who now rushed passed her giving her a smack on her behind.

Rox:  Hey!  

Nelv:  Yuk Yuk Yuk.  

Ru/La Croix: Response

Rox:  ::looking at La Croix::  This is different, but I'll be honest I'm not totally surprised.

Ru/La Croix: Response
