"You've come to help us." Said Isabella.
"Yes, and it looks like a lot of them need a doctor." Said Riker.
Riker then contacted the Enterprise, and told them to beam everyone to sick bay. Seconds later; they were crowded by nurses, and the doctor. Riker had gone off to the Bridge with Data and Worf. Isabella was so in grossed in what was going on, she didn't notice the nurse that walked up to her, and Isabella jumped.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you." Said Ogawa.
"It's ok, what do you need?" Isabella asked.
"I'm here to take care of your cuts." Said Ogawa.
"I'm fine, take care of them." Said Isabella.
Ogawa walked away, and went to Dr. Crusher. She told Dr. Crusher about what the Lieutenant said. Dr. Crusher told her to go work on something else, and she'd work on the Lieutenant. Ogawa said ok, and walked off, Dr. Crusher walked up to the Lieutenant. Isabella said the same thing she told the nurse.
"All of the crew you were found with are all taken care of. Now it's your turn, besides I'm sure that Captain Picard would like to have a word with you." Said Crusher.
"Ok." Said Isabella.
Dr. Crusher got started with healing her wounds. Once she was done, she told Isabella to follow her. They left the sick bay, and headed for the bridge. When they got to the turbo lift, got inside, and stated where on the ship they wanted to go; Dr. Crusher looked at the lieutenant she was standing next to. She wondered about how young she looked for being a lieutenant. They soon arrived on the bridge, and they walked down to where the captain's chair was.
"Captain, this is Lieutenant Tate." Said Dr. Crusher.
"Lieutenant, please follow us. I was wanting to have a meeting, and maybe you could tell us a little." Said Picard.
They had gone into the conference room, and they all took their seats.
"Lieutenant could you tell me what the Colton was doing out here?" Picard asked.
"I'm sorry, Captain, but I can't tell you." Said Isabella.
"Is that because you can't, or won't?" Riker asked.
"Can't, the orders are classified. The Admiral in charge of the mission said not to discuss the mission order with anyone." Said Isabella.
"And we'll not ask about it again." Said Picard.
The meeting continued, but Isabella was wondering why she was still there. Eventually Riker looked over to Isabella. He could tell that she was bored. When Captain Picard was finished speaking; Riker spoke up.
"Lieutenant, are you bored?" Riker asked.
"No, not in the least. I enjoy listening to the status reports of other vessels." Said Isabella.
Picard could tell just from her tone that she was being sarcastic. Picard then thought that it would be best if the Lieutenant went off to be with her crew.
"Thank you, Lieutenant. You may be excused." Said Picard.
"Thank you, Captain. If you need me for anything; I will either be in Sick Bay with the rest of my crew, or in Ten Forward." Said Isabella.
"Why not in the guest quarters?" Riker asked.
"Well, Commander. I would, but I wasn't assigned any." Said Isabella.
Isabella then walked over to the door, and stopped. She turned, and looked Riker right in the eyes.
"Commander Riker, trust me. In a battle of whit's, I will win." Said Isabella.
"How do you know that?" Riker asked.
"Do you know Admiral Donner? Well let's just say that not even he could keep up." Said Isabella.
