=/\= Bridge =/\= ~ Athena was vaguely aware of her surroundings. She opened her eyes to narrow slits and things began to come into focus. She could here a faint sound in some kind of rhythm in the background. The steady noise was unnerving and the steely table that she laid upon was cold. ~ Rebecca heard a steady beeping noise and began to recognize the patterns as Morse code letters. It had been a long time since she had heard any such thing. Her sister and herself had taught to themselves so the could sneak out of the house and protect each other against their over protective father. Not that their father was abusive just strict. And if they had followed his rules they wouldn't have dated until they had been twenty-one or so. "Reese, help me locate whatever is beeping. I think someone is trying to communicate with us," She stated with a spark of enthusiasm. Reese looked at her and said, "Your kidding, right?" Rebecca shook her head as she moved some debris where the sound seemed to be the strongest. Reese followed the sound to the same area and they started a system of sorts that moved the debris out of their way. ~ The noise was getting louder and louder and Athena tried not to cringe when she heard it. She recognized it as a series of clicks now. Probably some kind of communication. It sounded deadly and still she tried to remain still as she laid upon the unforgiving cold surface. ~ "It's getting louder," Rebecca said with excitement as they moved more charred metal out of the way. Reese gave her an encouraging smile and continued working. They finally uncovered a the partially charred remains of a crew member. Rebecca gave a small scream and Reese pulled her into his arms for a few moments. "It's all right," he said calmly, "just stand here and don't look for a second. Rebecca nodded. Reese went to the fallen crew member and made sure there wasn't a pulse. There wasn't and then Reese moved down to the tricorder. He shook his head in amazement that the tricorder was barely damaged at all. Of course most of the damage to the crewmen was burns to his upper turso and face. ~ Athena heard a familiar scream and physically jumped. She could feel her heart racing as she tried to keep her breathing calm. She wanted it to appear that she was still sleeping as she laid there wondering what tortures the other person must be enduring to scream like that. ~ Rebecca gave Reese a tremulous smile and took the tricorder and started to code in a message. <bridge here, need medical help ASAP.> There was a pause after the message was sent but Rebecca wasn't surprised and waited patiently while Reese went back to working on what he could. ~ A long silence grew and Athena's heart rate slowed. {I wonder what's happening. Should I risk looking around?} She continued to evaluate and let her senses stretch out to see if that would give her any information. ~ =/\= End Log =/\= Lt.
