Reactor Core

Chapter Eight

Doctor Jameison was waiting for them to arrive into sickbay. He wasn't liking with what was going on with finding Kowalski and having been attacked. Captain Lee Crane came to sickbay with leaving executive officer Stu Riley in charge for the duration.

Crane was waiting in his office when he heard the commotion with the corpsman bringing in Kowalski with Patterson following behind. He was worried about his friend in this particular condition. Who ever this spy was, they needed to catch him quick before more damage is done to the crew and the Seaview.

Doctor Jameison and Doctor Sterling told everyone to leave and including Captain Crane. They wanted to check Kowalski without anyone watching over their shoulders. Patterson was forced to leave and head back to the Control Room.

Both doctors were able to determine that Kowalski had a blow to the head with a mild concussion. Even though he will have blurred vision, dizziness and headaches for a couple of days. They would be placing him in a private room with Master Of Arms watching him from outside.

There was going to be two guards outside Sickbay as well with orders from Admiral Nelson and Captain Lee Crane to enter without permission.

And during this time Ensign Brooks was working with Doctor Mendez in the reactor to make sure everything was working find. While his daughter Michelle was resting in her quarters. She was worried that another failure might happened with this spy on board. No one knew who it was since Kowalski didn't see his attacker down below. So he wasn't able to give an description to Admiral Nelson while he was in Sickbay before the doctors gave a strong sedation to have him sleep.

Nelson asked the doctor on whether he would be able to speak with Kowalski before giving him the sedation.

"Admiral Nelson only speak with him for a few moments. He's going to be needing his rest after that blow to the head." Dr. Jameison using his muscle as Chief Medical Officer of the Seaview.

"Very well Doc, I will be quick about it." He headed for the alcove for where Kowalski was staying. Kowalski looked up at the figure walking into his alcove. Patterson was sitting in a chair worried about his friend.

"Kowalski, I need to asked you a couple of questions. I know this is not going to be easy." He said with Admiral Nelson asking Patterson to wait outside.

"I will try my best sir." He responded with his head hurting like hell.

"Do you have any idea who it might of been that hit you over the head?" He asked with great concern in his tone of voice.

"No I don't sir. Who ever it was caught me by surprise." Kowalski replied with closing his eyes for a moment. "Anything else sir?"

"Where were you checking for when it came to the tracking of the transmission?"

"C deck near the crew quarters. I saw Ensign Brooks coming out to head for his watch inside the reactor room. Otherwise I had continued on with my search sir."

"All right Kowalski, I will leave you alone now and send in the doctor to give you the sedation to let you sleep." Nelson turns to leave to speak with Doc Jameison.

Inside the reactor room...

Doctor Mendez had to leave to report to Admiral Nelson on the power levels with the reactor on whether there was any drain of power. So far everything was working out well with the panels. This is the information Doctor Mendez would be giving the Admiral in his cabin.

However for Ensign Brooks, It was his chance to try to disable the reactor. Even though this was a suicide mission for him and his superiors giving him the job.
