Chapter 6: The Unexpected Surprise

None ever would have guessed that Chekov would be back to the Bridge the next day, after he had passed out in my room. Especially when ever four others were attacked. Fortunately, the people had been in time to deflect the blows and one managed to get a glimpse of the attacker. Unfortunately one was Becky as well as myself.

We were fine, other than scrapes and bruises but the other two, Spock and Kirk, were still in Sickbay at McCoy's request. That left me at Navigations, Becky at Science and awkwardly at command…Pavel. He was still pale, a little short tempered and extremely hyped up on a shot of adrenaline. Pavel couldn't stay still, and continued to pace around the Bridge. I sighed again and pressed a few buttons that would keep us on a stable course. I sat up in my chair, tense and past bored. We were still at an impasse for what to do seeing as how couldn't glean any useful information about the past of this goddess.

Just then T'Shan walked onto the Bridge. In one hand she held an ornamental dagger. She attacked Scotty before anyone could react.

Everyone jumped as he warded off the attack. Seconds before we could tear her away from the surprised engineer, Spock ran to the Bridge and had given the nerve pinch to the violent Vulcan. It did nothing but make her turn to attack the new found threat. Luckily Spock was quick and lethal and managed to subdue her until Dr. McCoy could retrieve a Hypo.

T'Shan was passed out in Spock's arms. Dr. McCoy already was at Scotty's side looking for blood. Gladly he found only a little from a small cut on one arm. All three of them left the Bridge and were replaced by Kirk. All of the crew was on an adrenaline rush, unable to keep still. Pavel beside me was having a hard time copping for his blood loss as well as the rush. He was on the edge of fainting. I touched him lightly on the shoulder and said, "I can take over here. Go to sleep. You're going to pass out if you aren't careful."

He seemed almost offended. "I am fine. I just am a little shaky still." He was past shaky. Pavel slumped back in his chair and closed his eyes. He was incredibly tense, wound up like rubber band ball that was stretched to far.

"Pavel." I said quietly. His eyes opened to see a serious stare from me, pleading with him.

"Mr. Chekov, report to Sickbay." Kirk commanded from behind us as though he was listening.

Pavel was startled by the Captains intervention.

I called Becky over to our station and told her not to blow anything up. I pulled his good arm around my neck and helped him limp to Sickbay. When we arrived he promptly fell onto one of the many diagnostic beds and finally blacked out from stress and blood loss. His pulse was rapid, but slowly descending... I couldn't help but worry. Across from his bed was the betrayer. I looked above her head at the Diagnostics. Out of curiosity, I called M'benga over. I asked him about the readings and he frowned. They weren't correct for a Vulcan.. He looked surprised then ran to the comm nearest to him.

"M'benga to Bridge."

"Scott here, wut tis it?"

"The Vulcan who attacked our people. She isn't actually a Vulcan."

"Wut dae ya mean laddie?" Scotty sounded impatient.

"She's a Romulan sir."
