Cassie had felt the ship rock and knew they were taking fire. As time went on, it became apparent the hits were beginning to take their toll as circuits blew and the shaking got worse. She looked at Missy who looked terrified.

"It will be okay. I promise." Cassie said soothingly, making sure the nurse was not near any conduits or lights.

Missy nodded as the doors opened and a man came in carrying another man. "Conduit blew. He was right next to it."

Cassie nodded and pointed to the bed and grabbed some things and ran over to him. My God, he is just a kid. She looked at the badly burned man on the table. "What's your name?"

The man looked up and Cassie readied a syringe. "J…James"

"Jame, I am Doctor Frasier. I am going to give you something for the immediate pain then Nurse Green and I will fix you right up." She didn't wait for a response as she injected him.

She looked at Missy. "Cut his blouse and shirt off and let's see what we got."

Missy nodded as she grabbed scissors and began cutting. She had always been amazed at Cassie's ability to flick a switch and go to full doctor mode without hesitation.

Cassie turned just as the ship shook harder. A woman came in limping. Cassie went over to her and quickly evaluated. She grabbed a towel out of the cabinet and handed it to the woman. "Sit there" pointing at a chair. "Press this towel here and don't let up. I will be right back."

The woman nodded as she sat.

Cassie turned back to help Missy when the door opened again and a man came in carrying a woman. She was bleeding profusely from wounds on her face, head, and through wounds on her chest. Damn, she must have been right in front something. She looked back to see Missy nodding at her. Cassie pointed to an empty bed and the man gently lay the woman down. He looked at Cassie.

"Her station on the bridge exploded. She took the brunt full in the face." He reported.

Cassie nodded. She pointed to a cart. "Unlock the wheels on that and move it here."

The man hesitated a second.

"Now!" Cassie ordered.

The man did as he was told and moved the cart. Cassie grabbed several items. She quickly checked to ensure the woman's eyes were not damaged. The facial wounds were mostly superficial. She then took a pair of scissors and deftly cut the woman's blouse and then her T-shirt, revealing her very ample bust and bra. The man who had brought her in turned to look away.

Cassie glanced up. "No you don't. No time to worry about shyness. Grab those forceps and that gauze."

The man looked at the cart and grabbed the gauze, his fingers wavered a second, then grabbed what he assumed were the forceps.

"No, the ones that lock…yes, that one." Cassie took the tools.

Cassie used the forceps to pull a piece of metal out of the woman's rib cage. She looked up. "Put gauze to that." She ordered.

The man did as he was told, but he was turning pale. Cassie looked at him. "Hey, look, I only have one nurse and need help, so you are elected. Don't you dare get sick on me. I don't have time for that." Her voice was firm and hard as she pulled another piece of metal out.

He nodded and automatically put gauze to the second area she had pulled metal out of. Cassie nibbled her lip. These two injuries did not account for that much blood. She moved the remains of the shirt away and found what she was looking for. A piece of metal had opened the woman's side just below her left breast. Cassie reached to the cart for some supplies. "Missy, I am going to need some help here!"

Missy put down her instruments and changed into fresh gloves and ran over.

Cassie looked up. "I am going to pull this out. You there," she read his nametag, "Wilson. You keep her steady. Missy, be ready to help me to clean and close the wound."

Cassie gently pulled the metal out. It looked like it had only peeled the skin, which would be good if there were only minimal muscle damage. She got the piece out and set it on the cart when a huge explosion rocked the ship and alarms went off. Cassie instinctively covered the woman with her body and felt the deck roll.

Cassie opened her eyes to see emergency lights flashing. The lights in sickbay were off. She felt light headed. She glanced over to see Missy lying on the floor on the other side of the bed with her eyes closed. Wilson was getting to his feet. She looked back to where she had left the woman sitting holding on to her wound. She was lying in floor near the overturned chair.

Cassie started to get up and found she couldn't move. Her legs were pinned. She glanced back to find a support beam had fallen down and pinned her underneath the ceiling panel that had come with it. Damn. She looked up to see Wilson look at the woman on table. He looked around frantically a moment then came around to Cassie's side of the table. He quickly tried to pull the beam and panel off Cassie but it wouldn't budge.

"Never mind. I need you to go to the cart and take some padding and some dressings off of it."

He looked confused a moment.

"Wilson, she is going to bleed to death if you don't get a move on!" Cassie yelled.

He nodded and grabbed the items off the cart. He walked to the woman still on the table. "Now what?"

"Gently roll her to the side and put that long green strip under her where you can get to it on the other side, then used the gauze padding place over the wound. Then pulled the dressing over that and tie it off. Be careful not to let anything fall in the wound and try not to touch it with your fingers." Cassie directed.

She looked over to see the woman with the leg wound tying the towel around her leg and working her way to her feet. She limped over to Wilson. "Here I can help. Doctor what do we do now?"

Cassie let out a slow breath. "Okay, here is what you are going to do…"
