"Captain, we're receiving a distress call." Said Kim.
"From who?" Captain Janeway asked.
"A Klingon shuttle."
"Any life signs?"
"One, but it's very faint. That's strange, it's not fully Klingon."
"It is rare to find a mixed Klingon still living with Klingons." Said Tuvok.
"Set a course, Paris. Janeway to sick bay, prepare for an injured transport."
When the Captain and Commander got to sick bay, they weren't prepared for what they saw. It was a young female Klingon roaring scarily in pain.
"Doctor! What the hell is wrong?" asked Commander Chakotay.
"I think she has a virus of some sort. She was puking when she first got transported here." Said the Doctor while scanning the Klingon with his medical equipment. "And she has pneumonia in all four lungs, also."
"Is she contagious?" asked Janeway.
"Not anymore, but I think the virus is what killed her other two shipmates." said the Doctor as he injected her with something to dull the pain of the virus until he could ready the cure for it. Janeway walked up to the Klingon and looked her in the eyes.
"Do you know what's going on?" she asked the Klingon. The Klingong nodded yes. "I am Captain Janeway. Your name is..?"
"Sogh Ama. My shipmates are really dead?"
"Yes."
"I can't stay here." said Ama, sitting up.
"You aren't going anywhere." The Doctor said, trying to make her lay back down. Ama gave him a look that could literally kill and the Doctor immediately let go.
"I need to finish our mission."
"Is this mission worth more than your life?" Asked the Doctor.
"Yes." Said Ama.
"What could be worth more than your life?"
"You don't know much about Klingons, do you?" Said Janeway and Ama at the same time.
"Why are you even bothering to help me?" Ama asked Janeway.
"Why wouldn't we try to help? Asked Janeway.
"Because of the whole 'Klingon' thing tends to get me hated no matter where I go." Said Ama with a hint of sarcasm. That's when Chakotay finally spoke up.
"Are you part human?" he asked.
"Why?" Ama responded.
"Because your name is Native American for water."
"It's also African."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"What does it me…"
"Chakotay, are you going anywhere with this?" said the Doctor.
"Somebody has a stick up his butt." Said Ama. Chakotay and Janeway both snickered at this.
"Okay, okay. Will two be able to cooperate to get Ama healthy?" Janeway asked both the Doctor and Ama.
"I can't make any promises." Said the Doctor grumpily.
Ama started coughing badly, so badly that blood was coming along with it.
"What's this going to cost me?" Ama asked the Captain after the coughing stopped and she caught her breath.
"We'll get you well and you help us with something we need for our warp core."
"I told you, I have a mission I have to do."
"Which will be difficult to complete with you puking up stomach acid and coughing up blood." Said the Doctor as he injected her with something. Ama made a irritated roar, and that started her coughing again.
"Doctor, how long will it take for her to be treated?" asked the Captain.
"About an hour." he reported.
"Chakotay, would you stay with her and make sure she reports to engineering to help B'Elanna?" The captain asked.
"Sure." he responded as the Captain left for the bridge.
Ama was coughing harder now.
"Why isn't this working?" The Doctor asked angrily.
"The dose probably isn't right." Ama said while breathing heavily.
"Really? I didn't know that!" said the Doctor sarcastically.
"Well if you'd paid better attention to my anatomy when you scanned me, you would have noticed I had three hearts, meaning I need REALLY high dosages of medicine."
"And why do you have three hearts?"
"Look carefully when you scan me this time and you might be able to figure it out." said Ama as she laid back down.
The Doctor reported to the Captain after he had finished treating Ama.
"What did you find out?" The Captain asked.
"She has three hearts."
"Why? That's strange, even in the Klingon world."
"She was born with a human heart. She was given a Vulcan heart when she was young to compensate for her needing it to keep up with Klingon training. She was given an actual Klingon heart as a teenager to because puberty for Klingons is rough on human organs."
"And all of them work properly?"
"Yes. She is amazingly strong for a Klingon that isn't fully Klingon. She also has two sets of lungs, like other Klingons do."
"Is she healthy now?"
"Yes. Well, mostly. It will take her lungs some time to recover from the pneumonia, but that shouldn't take too long."
"Commander to security, we have an issue in engineering."
The captain immediately got up and headed to engineering with Tuvok and Paris.
When they arrived in engineering, B'Elanna was pinned to the wall by Ama, who looked gigantic compared to B'Elonna
"Say that again." Ama challenged B'Elanna. B'Elanna said nothing. "That's what I thought." Said Ama as she unpinned B'Elanna from the wall and went back to work.
"Chakotay?" asked the Captain.
"B'Elanna said something to Ama that I didn't hear. The got into a physical fight, but Ama had her pinned quickly and that's when you showed up."
"Torres, Ama! Front and center!" The Captain said loudly. B'Elanna and Ama responded immediately by standing in front of the Captain.
"What happened?" she asked both of them.
Neither responded.
"Since neither of you are going to tell me, both of you are going to the brig until this issue is resolved.
"I can't stay. You can't make me." Ama said.
"You attacked one of my crew!"
"YOU made me stay here to help! I need to finish my mission! I only helped because I thought it would help me finish my job faster!!"
"You should have thought of that before you and B'Elanna decided to use each other as punching bags!"
Tuvak walked over to B'Elanna to walk her to the brig, and Chakotay and Paris walked over to Ama to do the same. That's when Ama made a run for it.
