Thedoors to Sickbay opened automatically just as Beverly got through with the preparations for her new patient. Data was holding something wrapped in a blood soaked dripping jacket. She guessed that's her new patient. Jean Luc was right when he mentioned the blood loss. "Right here Data." She motioned to the observation bed infront of her.

Data set the girl down as asked and waited for further directions. Doctor Crusher asked him to remove the garment she was wrapped in so that she could she her wounds. The Android gently pulled the fabric from her body.

Beverly gasped in shock. All the years she's been a doctor could never prepare her for the damage done to the girls body. How could someone hurt such a young pretty girl in such horrifying ways? The doctor wondered where she came from that such things were allowed to happen. She first started to wipe the blood off of the girl examining the four punctures in her abdomen. Three deep stab wounds to the region where her uterus is. Beverly sent a silent prayer to any form of entity hoping that maybe she could fix the damage there. For all her medical expertise and the fancy equipment on board the Enterprise she wasn't sure the girl would ever be able to have children. Speaking of children she needed to examine for possible sexual abuse.

There was tears in her vaginal wall consistant with rape. Poor girl the doctor thought, 'What has she been through? Should I even try to save her at this point or just let her suffering end? I may be able to fix her body but her mind is a different story. Her life will never be the same.' "Doctor? She her heart beat is slowing she is dying." Data's observation bringing the Doctor out of her dark thoughts. She needs to save this girl she can worry about her decision later.

She grabbed her tricorder and made notes of her injuries and ordered Data and the best of her Medical team to do various things to save this girl. After hours of work she was finally fixed most of her body casted or wrapped in gauze. Data had left after she was stabilized. Beverly tapped her combadge "Main Bridge. Captain we just barely saved her I would like to call a meeting to share her injuries."

"Affirmative Doctor Crusher. Meet us in the Conference room in 10 minutes."

"Yes Sir." Beverly looked at the girls face or what little bit of her face was exposed. Tears welled up in the Doctors eyes. She knew she was supposed to be professional but what this girl had endured was horrifying. She didn't even know how she lived through it. It must be some kind of miracle. She allowed herself the time to grieve for this unknown girl. Then she set off to the conference room on her way she recomposed herself so she could give her report without breaking down.

Jean Luc knew it had to be bad if she needed to report the injuries. He immediately got the senior officers together and started to brief them about what happened with Q. After he finished Beverly walked through the door. "Perfect timing Doctor Crusher. The rest of the team have been briefed about the situation." Beverly sat down in her chair and took a deep breath.

"We did stablize the patient. Although we almost lost her several times." She paused for a few moments. "She is covered in bruises the worst ones around her throat the pattern seems to indicate she was strangled by a male with large hands. She had a gash on her face so deep you could see bone her nose was not broken as I originally thought. It was just busted really bad. She had some cuts on her face and body along with the bruises point to being assaulted. She had sharp shallow cuts on her abdomen in two places one said "Whore" and the other said "Sacrifice"

She had four deep punctures as well one near her heart that somehow missed her lungs. Three more in her lower abdomen damaging her uterus. She had her right arm broken and shoulder dislocated. Her left wrist and her two smallest fingers were broken. She has lots of defensive wounds on her arms and hands. A few offensive wounds as well she appears to have fought back against her attacker. Her back was cut up really bad that's where half of all the blood came from her wounds look to have been caused by a whip." Beverly stopped once again this time her eyes watering.

"Her left leg was flayed from her ankle to her mid thigh barely any meat on her bones. She had fractured ribs and she has signs of sexual abuse I believe she was raped numerous times by several men. She also has a really bad bite mark on her left breast. We repaired most of the damage to her body only the worst injuries scarred but I'm not sure if we successfully saved her reproductive system we will have to wait and see but it's possible she may never have children." By this point Beverly was a crying mess she put down the girls medical chart. Jean Luc wanted to comfort her but couldn't it would be wrong because her husband that he caused the death of was his best friend and he had to remain professional as Captain.

Deana was the first one to process the information. "Doctor Crusher, how old is she?" Beverly looked at Deana. "We estimate her age to be anywhere from 20 to 25 years of age."

Riker was next "She's practically a child what kind of monster could do that?"

Deana looked at her Captain. "Captain I recommend the girl be sent to me when she wakes up. Her mind needs to be accessed she could be a danger to herself or others."

Jean Luc whole heartedly agreed with the Betazoid. "I agree. Now that we have been briefed we go back to put posts and I don't want this leaked the poor girl has been through enough she don't need to be part of the ships gossip too. You are dismissed." Everyone walked out in a daze unable to comprehend the torture bestowed upon the girl.
