: : "Do you think it's this Gary character?" Kaliona asked Ryley. She turned to where Ashlynn laid and quickly brushed Ash's forehead with a sweeping motion to her hair, almost petting her. "We will keep you and the baby safe. I promise." She hit her Commbadge immediately. =^=Mahikoa to Major Frisch and Lieutenant Austin, we need Deck 5 shut down and guarded immediately! Remove all unneccessary personnel=^=

: Murphy looked up from the weapon he had just finished calibrating in the armoury. He was on his way to the nearest Turbolift within a few seconds. Timing is everything, he thought. There was no need to put out a call to his fellow security officers: they were already on their way, thanks to the Captains' general alert. Indeed, he met two other Ensigns on his way to Deck 5, hopping into the Turbolift en route.
:
: Murphy and the two ensigns stood near the entrance to the Medical section of Deck 5. It spanned half the deck, so there was a lot of area to cover. He checked one of the wall displays as the two other ensigns watched the doors nearest to them for any sign of movement.
:
: A Code Blue had been called from Sick Bay, which meant that either the entire Sick Bay had been sealed, or the CMO's office. The possibility was confirmed immediately as the CMO's office when the wall display showed the lifesigns of one human adult and child in there. Whatever was going on, it made sense that the CMO would seal the most vulnerable occupant within the safest area.
:
: The decks were eerily quiet, as all non-security personnel had evacuated the area. Soon the Marines would be here but, for now, this seemed to be his game.
:
: He motioned to the two ensigns who took up position, flanking Murphy on either side of the main entrance to Sick Bay. Murphy edged forward, his weapon drawn, and a thin film of sweat developing on his forehead. The door opened. He could hear voices from within - and one particularly agitated male voice stood out.
:
: Francis and the two ensigns made their way into the reception area, where they ducked behind the normally nondescript tables and seating. He could see through the door ahead a collection of people, including none-other than the Captain herself, and the Chief Medical Officer, replete with his ever present cane. There was another man there too, brandishing a phaser. Murphy licked his lips. The two other ensigns looked at him. He motioned them to, again, take positions at either side of the door to the main Sick Bay biobed room. The sweat collected on his eyebrows and he brushed it away. He crept toward the door, looking for a clear picture of what was going on within the room - and a clear shot on the threatening male.

: Murphy, (Security Officer)

Seth entered the reception area, type 2 hand phaser drawn. He nodded towards Ens. Murphy. Seth hadn't really had the chance to meet or train with Murphy yet. But he did see their target, the man with a phaser. With the Captain and the CMO there!

There was a way out of this. He could order the compter to deactivate the phasers on this deck. But would that work? And could he do it before shots were fired?
