Jack lay there motionless, staring at the ceiling. The XO and the
Counsellor had
come down with the CMO for a check-up earlier and Jack had just
pretended he
was out, he got the feeling that the XO and the CMO were more interested
in
making out post battle than anything else, honestly he didn't want to
see that.
Shane had left with Athena and Rangi was all that remained, bar the
attractive
nurse Lucy, some other random Medics and a few injured bodies from the
battle.
Nasty stuff that. He was aware that the battle was over, but the Chief
Medical
Officer in her infinite wisdom had him confined to the bed. He saw her
leave the
cargo bay for whatever
"Screw this" Jack sat up on the bed holding his chest slightly almost as
if he
expected his lungs to fall out. The Lieutenant Commander had done a fine
job of keeping him alive, but she was too cautious for his liking.
"Captain, you can't do that" said some annoying excuse for a man in a
blue
shirt.
Jack didn't take any notice as he pulled off the medical gown,
revealing
him completely naked in front of everyone as he made his way over to a
replicator and got himself a fresh uniform. The Medic just watched as
Jack dressed himself, possibly not the best move he could have done, but
each to their own.
As Jack moved past the guy he felt his hand on his chest trying to hold
him
back. "Lieutenant, next time you touch me, I'll break you hand." he
pushed
past him.
"Commander Summers isn't going to be happy! You haven't been discharged
from sickbay, Captain."
Jack stopped for a moment and turned to whoever this guy was. "Look
around
you mate, does it look like ive got time to sit down and let myself get
a good
nights sleep before im cleared for return to duty? This place has gone
to hell,
the shits hit the fan, say it as you want but I need to get back to
duty, tell
Commander Summers she can have me court marshalled after I've got my
department doing what they *need* to." he reeled off to the guy and made
his
way out, stopping at the door before turning back to whoever that guy
was.
"I meant what I said about touching me again by the way." he exited the
cargo bay knowing he was in for a real talking to when he was done, but
then again if you read Jacks record he wasn't exactly one for following
stupid protocols and orders.
"Walsh to McKnight" he tapped his comm. badge. "Report, Now." he
hollered out slightly frustrated at being kept in sickbay for so long.
"Weapons and shields are down, I've got most of the ODA on Damage
control and helping to co-ordinate with the repairs."
"Alright good Lieutenant, I'm on my way." He closed the channel and made
his way back towards the ODA offices.
The journey there was a bit of an eye opener. "Jesus, who the hell was
flying
the damn ship." he mussed to himself as he kicked a piece of bulk head
out
of his way and passed through the doors to the ODA Offices, which seemed
to have come out alright, a few damage scars about the place but it was
workable at the very least.
McKnight was standing at the main station with a few officers doing god
knows what, he wasn't sure. "Alright you mongrels!!" Jack barked at the
top of his voice. "Ten Hut!!!" he barked ever louder as everyone came
to attention rather quickly.
"Ok we're in bad shape, that doesn't mean that we're going to start
lapsing
because supposedly the attacking ship was beat off. Shields and Weapons
are down as some of the more aware of you might be aware, What does
this mean I hear your tiny minds thinking?"
"Lynch?" he looked over to the Engineering Spec.
"We're open for a foothold situation Captain."
"Precisely. If you're not already armed for some stupid reason get a gun
and
get out there. I've not got anything specific for everyone but take a
look out
the door there's a plethora of things to be doing, Lassie just told me
that some
punk is trapped down a well, go save their ass. Also, I want security in
all
the sensitive areas doubled, an armed guard on Commander Guzman too,
If he complains tell him that I didn't look like the sort of person to
be
denied." he almost fumed. "The last thing we need is a green blood
beaming
aboard and capping the Commander in the back." he looked over at Private
Mondana. "No Offence Private." he smirked and made his way towards
his office for a bit of a sit down.
