Horror Days- Chapter 16
Day 9 (Voyager)
"Mr. Paris, for the last time, sit on the biobed!" The holographic doctor yelled. He was hovering over Shon Faber. Locke Penter, the Petrinnen doctor, was next to the EMH helping.
"Do you need me right this second?" Tom asked.
"Mr. Paris, you will have to be operated on, now please sit down!" The Doctor continued.
"Listen, Doc, I'm going to go see my wife." Tom replied. "I'll be back."
The EMH wanted to go after Tom, but knew that if he left, the person on the operating biobed would die. "If you're not back in 10 minutes, I'll get the transporter operator to beam you back here." He called out after Paris.
Tom nodded and left the Sickbay. Phil and Riken were on their own biobeds asleep because the doctor had sedated them. Tom made his way to the turbolift easily. After waiting a couple seconds, the doors opened. In the lift already was Captain Janeway. She was about to get out, but then saw Tom standing right in front of her.
Tom walked in a smiled. He called for Main Engineering. Janeway decided to stay with Tom in the lift and follow him to his wife. The turbolift started and Tom looked over at Janeway.
"Did you think I was dead?" Tom asked.
"We were told you died yesterday, but today, when we went to go pick up your ashes, the building looked like a war had taken place." Janeway replied. "There were seven military officers that were dead in there, but the only thing that was remotely interesting was a computer that had your profile in it."
"Seven?" Tom repeated.
"Yes, all shot and their weapons were taken." Janeway responded. "Tom, Voyager received the video that the Flyer sent. Who was that man you had the weapon to?"
Tom looked straight ahead. "Captain, I think it's best that you watch the whole thing from the beginning." Tom replied. He was about to say more, but the turbolift stopped and the doors opened. "If you don't mind now, Captain, I'm going to go see my wife."
Tom walked out of the lift. They were in Main Engineering and most people working near the turbolift looked to see who had come out. Each person started to stare in awe. Tom nodded to them and saw his wife standing at a console near the warp core. Tom began to walk towards her with Janeway right behind him. Tom walked up behind B'Elanna and stood there for a moment or two.
"Vorik that better be the padd I requested." B'Elanna said turning around. She stopped and stared at her husband. He was wet, unshaven, his hair was a mess, and tired. But she didn't care, he was there. B'Elanna hugged Tom very hard and Tom hugged back.
"I love you." Tom whispered.
"I love you, too." B'Elanna replied.
Day 11
Captain's Log Stardate 54854.5
After Lieutenant Paris' return two days ago, the crew's morale has never been this high. His surgery was a success and the camera is now with the Doctor in his lab. The other man, Shon Faber, also had a successful surgery. Even though Mr. Faber will need to go through a very lengthy recovery.
Commanders Chakotay and Tuvok, Lieutenant Torres, Ensign Kim, and I have all seen what has happened in the days Tom was missing. I plan on sending the video to Starfleet in the next datastream. So far, Mr. Paris' has completely recovered from his surgery, but I am unsure of how he is coping with his days on the planet.
Mr. Locke Penter, the Petrinnen doctor Tom brought back, is continually working with the Doctor. Mr. Philian Porate, a reporter of questionable intentions, is staying onboard until we are ready to leave orbit. And Riken, a little boy that is pretty much clinging to Tom, is staying with Tom and B'Elanna, by Tom's request. We are getting closer to finding Riken's family and as soon as we do, we're going to take him to them.
End Log.
Day 11 (Nighttime on Voyager)
The man walked into Voyager's sickbay alone. The Doctor had been deactivated purposely and wouldn't be activated until the mission was complete. There was another man laying on the main biobed. The stranger walked over to the enemy and grabbed a hypospray from the table near him.
The enemy slowly awoke. "I didn't know you murdered people." He said to the stranger, yet he smiled a very evil smile.
"Desperate times calls for desperate measures." The man answered. The man filled up the hypospray and walked back over to the enemy.
The enemy tried to grab the hypospray. The two were holding onto the hypospray trying to use it on the other. The enemy tried to use his big size against the smaller man, but his weakened state made the smaller man able to overcome him. The stranger put the hypospray to the enemy's neck and pushed it, injecting the poison into the man's system.
"I won't let you get away." The man said to his target. "And I won't let you hurt anyone else."
The enemy started to fade in and out of consciousness. "You…can't…protect...them all…Mr. P-"
He died. The man who said that he didn't murder had just killed a man. The man was in some shock, but knew that it was all for the greater good. He left Sickbay, returned to his quarters and activated the EMH. The Doctor would soon find out about his patient's death, and the man would probably be found out. He didn't care, though, most would be on his side, and he might even be called a hero for what he had just done…
