Hannah hurried down to Sickbay, tripping as more blasts rocked the ship. Already, she could see crewmen entering sickbay as she neared the door.
Then as suddenly as it started, it stopped.
Doctor Phlox was busy treating the various lumps and bumps that'd come in.
The comm beeped.
Hannah hit it. "Tarry here"
"We require a medical team on the bridge immediately"
"Understood"
"T'Pol out"
"Doctor Phlox, they need a medical team on the bridge!" she called.
"Alright, if you'll just take over for me here" said Doctor Phlox nodding.
~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hannah looked around sickbay. No more crewmembers had come in and no one from the bridge had come down with Doctor Phlox. Doctor Phlox had been gone over half an hour.
Fear gripped her. Her eyes strayed to the comm.
*Getta grip girl!* she thought *There could be a whole lotta reasons why he hasn't come back yet. Quit jumping to conclusions!*
She started humming absentmindedly.
"Doc? Can I go now?" asked the crewman on the bio bed in front of her.
She switched her attention back to him.
"Yeah, but come back if you feel sick or dizzy. Kay?" she replied.
The crewmen nodded and raced off.
Her eyes strayed back to the comm.
*Give 'im five more minutes* she thought starting to hum again. *Keep your head. Cool, calm and collected. Don't do anything rash/stupid/foolhardy/embarrassing!*
The next five minutes passed slowly, all the injured had now been treated so there was no one left in sickbay but her and Phlox's creatures.
*It would be just my luck that the entire ship explodes right after I set foot on it*she thought wryly. *God woman! You sound like Malcolm! Think happy thoughts!
Happy thoughts? Where in the hell did that come from? You're losing it mate. Completely stark raving bonkers!
I'm trying to be optimistic that's all.
You're arguing with yourself. You've gone doolaly in the space of about six hours after only one ship bashing session!
Ok. Am totally and utterly calm.*
Hannah shook her head as if to clear it. She started nervously humming again.
Sickbay doors opened.
Hannah turned feeling relieved, what she saw was not what she expected.

"What's firing on us?" Archer bellowed
"I don't know sir! There's no ship in our vicinity" Malcolm replied, wincing as his console sparked.
"There appears to be a disturbance on our port bow" T'Pol stated.
Another blast rocked the ship violently. All the bridge members were thrown sideways. Sparks flew as power surged through the consoles.
T'Pol was first to recover, pulling herself to her feet she reached for the comm.
"Bridge to Sickbay"
"Tarry here"
"We require a medical team on the bridge immediately"
"Understood"
"T'Pol out"
T'Pol immediately went to the Captains side.
He opened his eyes and she helped him to his feet. Unsteadily he grasped his chair and sank into it.
T'Pol checked on the remaining crewmembers, Malcolm, Travis and Hoshi were out cold. Malcolm had a deep burn on his hand where he hadn't had chance to move it before the console exploded.
The Turbo-lift doors opened and Doctor Phlox and two others came onto the bridge. T'Pol directed them to the casualties, failing to notice a glowing white ball of what appeared to be like flame come through the viewscreen. It headed straight for Archer. His head lolled a moment as it entered his body, then it snapped up.
"Now" he ordered.
More smaller white balls of flame(?) came through the viewscreen and entered Doctor Phlox, T'Pol, Hoshi and Malcolm.
"These beings are strong" said Malcolm flexing his fist.
"We need them, for the time being" said T'Pol
"Remember our directive" Archer stated.
They nodded.
"There is one in the place they call sickbay who will notice if this one is gone for long" said Phlox his voice unnaturally hard and cold.
"I will deal with any 'problems' we may encounter" Malcolm cut in. "The one in Sickbay is not a threat."
"Rakesh, you will need to take Engineering. I believe you are a Doctor here. Pretend to treat them-kill them if necessary" Archer ordered.
Doctor Phlox nodded and entered the turbo-lift.
"These bodies, they experience pain." Malcolm stated flexing his burnt hand. "This could be a problem"
"Hakir do not worry yourself. These beings are the commanders of the others- they have to obey orders." Said T'Pol
"Go deal with the 'problem'" Archer ordered.
"Give us a moment," said Hoshi straining
"They are fighting." Malcolm intoned. "It may take a moment to oppress them."
"This one is fighting too" Archer agreed. "Very well, but do not take too long-we do not want to arouse suspicion too soon."
"Understood Siegat" said Malcolm crisply.
Archer turned to T'Pol.
"Status?" he barked.
"We appear to have damaged this vessel more than we needed, it will take a while for me to fix the broken systems. Perhaps we could recruit the engineer?" T'Pol asked
"When Rakesh is done in Engineering he will assist you" Archer informed her, he turned back to Malcolm and Hoshi. "Have you succeeded yet? It should not have taken this long. Speed is of the essence."
"I have succeeded" Malcolm lied.
"This one is experiencing pain, I cannot subdue the emotional tide" said Hoshi straining once more.
"Fine Hakir, go dispose of any 'problems' we need this operation to run smoothly." Archer ordered. "Make haste"
Malcolm nodded and strode into the turbo-lift. "I will stop at the armoury first" he stated as the doors closed "Weaponry will be an asset."
Archer nodded briefly.
"You need to work on your voice" T'Pol told him. "This one does not remember your voice being so....cold."
Archer nodded.
"Come, we have work to do" he said.
