: Posted by Lt. Cmdr. Tahlia Qamar (Counselor) in Vulcan ship-cargo bay
: Dimmed lights and the quiet empty corridor seemed to suggest the ship was abandoned during some sort of battle, left to drift through Romulan space, with only the red alert left to send it's warning glow across the ship. The only hint of life aboard this Vulcan convoy ship was the sound of soft worried murmurs and hushed tones coming from a cargo bay situated on a low deck of the ship.
:
: Suddenly the doors slid open and Counselor Qamar aburbtly exited the cargo hold, slapping her badge hard as she came to a standstill not 5 feet from the doorway. As she addressed the bridge, her face spoke her anxiety, whereas with her voice she managed, with much effort, not to betray the troublesome thoughts that now pervaded her mind. ^=^ Bridge, do you have an update please on our attempt to recover the Captain? Any news from Stark? ^=^ As the only few members of crew left to man the bridge gave her an update on their current situation, Tahlia began to pace the corridor, back and forth from the cargo bay doors down toward the turbolift, as if not sure whether she needed to be on the bridge herself, or to go back in with the doctor to be ready to assist him as the need may be.
:
: Whatever she could do to help, she was willing to do. If only to busy herself trying to make the sick more comfortable so doctor Ybrek could continue to work on the cure. She had been busying herself in this endevour, trying not to think of the condition she and the rest of the away team had found when they beamed across to the Romulan warbird, when the report had come through that the Captain had been taken. She was all the more worn now as her efforts had then been doubled, in order to keep herself busy and try to keep off worrying to much about the Captain. She knew that their was little she could do herself to make a big difference, and she had full confidence in the Athena crew. But she tried to help herself not think to much about what she could have done that now were past.
:
: Making up her mind about were to be, she reminded the Bridge to keep her informed, ended her comunication and headed through the doors back into the cargo bay. As she entered she heard the Ybrek mention the possibility of a cure being found.
:
: "I am ready to assist you in administering the cure if it works and when you are ready. Anything you need let me know directly," she said politely.
:
: Lt. Cmdr. Qamar (CNS)

Ybrek jumped slightly, as he had been concentrating hard. "Thankyou counsellor, we are nearly there. I'm just awaiting the final analysis of the cure through subspace from the good doctor back on the Athena. Last I heard they had found a way to track the Captain and we're going after him. The crippled Romulan warbird is limping along with us. Commander Stark's usual urbane personality is being stretched to the limit coping with not being able to join the hunt"

Ybrek stood up and stretched "How are our passengers faring? Are they still in good spirits?"

Dr Ybrek Nai
