The computer registered weapons fire, and started the intruder alert as it wasn't a standard Federation signature given by the weapon. The beam struck Morgan's artificial arm, burning a gouge in a rough line towards his hand. As quickly as it started, it stopped. The person who was apparently holding the weapon noticed that their arm had disappeared and paniced. The device clattered to the deck and lay deathly still, as was Sickbay at the moment. Everyone was initially startled by the sudden weapons fire. Dr. Mara quickly checked Morgan out again to see if there were anymore injuries in addition to the ones he came in with. Thankfully, the beam had hit partway down along the artificial arm. A security team entered Sickbay just as the Lisa got Morgan to the closest operating table, and started to treat his wounds. A short time later, Morgan regained something that resembled consciousness. He was stiff, lightheaded, and almost naked, but he was alive and awake. He vaguely noticed Serra beside him, and felt the familiar hum of the Yamato, so he knew that they were safe. Atleast for the moment. SD 8.1550 Engineering Ryoga scanned the latest report on the damage. Emergency hull repairs were done, and work on the last impulse engine was proceeding. That left only minor things left until they could get an overhaul at a Star Base. The few survivors from the destroyed ships were beamed aboard, and the ones who were able to work did so. They volenteered mostly, some to get revenge, others because they felt they could make a difference. War was hell... "Hibiki here, whaddya got Miller?" "Dammit, can't we bypass it or something?" "Okay, do what you can without it. I'll see what the chief has to say. Ryoga out." He took one look around Engineering, posted a few orders to the scattered crews and set out for Sickbay. He found Morgan there, patched up almost as well as the ship was, from an engineers point, that was good. He looked around for the doctor, and when he didn't notice her in sight, handed a PADD to Morgan. Then he went to inquire about when Morgan could be released, giving the CEO ample time to review the sitrep and give a few thoughts on how to speed up repair time. By the time Ryoga returned, Morgan was asleep again. Ryoga retrieved the PADD and left to resume duties in Engineering. Upon arriving, he read Morgan's orders, and blanched at the last one...scan the wreckage of the battle fleet and take what was in working order. Scavenge. That order sickened Ryoga, but he assigned a team to do it anyways. After all, war IS hell... Respectfully submitted, Lt. Morgan Wolfe CEO USS Yamato MD 8.1540 Battle Damage repairs cont'd Les ***This message sent by an official member of Indigo Fleet*** Are you also posting your message to the newsgroup?!!! ---END TRANSMISSION---
