Tija listened closely and carefully to every word Ressis said, while also taking in his body language and the tone of his voice. At the mention of the explosion, part of her mind went straight into triage mode. With explosions came certain types of injuries. Then, of course, there were the type of injuries related to trauma due to blunt force, such as being hit by rocks when a mine caved in. However, apart form a small frown, sign of concentration in this case, she didn’t show much of an outward reaction at all. There were a couple of questions she had. Yet she also thought she should let the other team, the one heading into the mine in particular, know what they had just been told. After a brief moment of deliberation, she decided to ask her questions - or at least one of them - first. Looking Ressis straight into the eyes, she asked, “But what, Sir?”

~Lt. Tija, CMO

“She is missing,” he said bluntly as he walked over to one of the hot plates and motioned a little further into the shelter, pouring himself some coffee made the old fashioned way. “The boss is in there along with our Political Officer,” the last few words said with disdain.

“I see,” replied Tija simply as she followed him. She wondered what had happened to Borefar and also what Ressis had against the boss or the political officer; or both of them.

“Lobac is a representative of the Ferengi company that owns a significant interest in the operations here,” he grunted again under his breath. “I suspect what happened was someone was too cheap to buy proper safety equipment!” he yelled over his shoulder before going back to the CMO, “Anyway… Some of the folks heard a grinding sound followed by an explosion. Safety issue or not, nothing down there should have exploded. For some reason it blew up one of the shafts and people said we were under attack. I didn’t believe it at first and then a second explosion. Borefar went in to see what was going on and to find the other miners and we haven’t heard from her sense.”

“Hmm,” said Tija simply, a deep frown on her face. That didn’t sound good at all and she was wondering if the rest of the Away Team already knew all of that or if she should report that to them. Not to mention reporting to the ship, if she could reach them. Or should she try and find out more before giving her report?

Lobac, for his part, was in the back on a cot whining about his broken leg, but a quick scan by a medic would show he was perfectly fine.

Cadet Schweitzer approached Lobac and checked him for injuries. He had a few abrasions and contusions from flying debris. Schweitzer quickly attended those while Lobac restated his main complaint about his leg, which Lobac claimed was broken. A quick scan revealed that the bone was intact but bruised due to blunt force trauma caused by a chunk of concrete from the wall. Schweitzer applied a dressing and gave him a hypospray analgesic for the pain. Lobac continued to complain, but Schweitzer knew that his pain was mostly psychosomatic now.

OOC: Excellent post, John. A couple of pointers for the future, I didn’t say how he hurt is leg (If it was even hurt at all) and you don’t know if Lobac would continue to whinge

IC: The Ferengi diverted his pain from the leg to the spot where the hypospray was pressed against his body. “Oh you hurt me!” he whinned, “I can’t believe they sent a cadet to treat me, ME of all people. I want to see the chief immediately! She will know if something is wrong. I demand only the best care.”

Riesse sighed and swirled his coffee with a smirk. “See what I mean? Lazy git doesn’t do anything but moan about how he wasn’t made for places like this.”

Schweitzer turned to Lobac. “You are receiving the best care,” Schweitzer told him evenly. I may be a cadet, but I am as well trained as any doctor here. “What could I be doing that I am not doing now?”

At the sound of Lobac’s complaint, Tija looked briefly towards him. The frown on her face deepening even more. Trying to catch Schweitzer’s eye, she gave him an encouraging nod and something that resembled a smile. She had full confidence in him and thus decided not to intervene; for now.

Turning her focus back towards Ressis, she asked, “Can you tell me anything else? Have you noticed anything unusual in the days and weeks leading up to the day of the explosion?”

~Lt. Tija, CMO

“Not really that unusual. We went a few meters deeper in the fourth shaft. Hit something metallic sounding but nothing came of it,” Ressis reasoned before the boss came hobbling up, favoring a sprained ankle.

Putting a gentle hand on Ressis’ arm she turned to Tija, “I am Charl Oeuss. Sorry for having to hobble up here. Life is quiet here, you know? Not much to talk to so many of the miners get tunnel sickness ya know?” She glanced to Ressis, “When people start hearing and seeing things from the isolation. Nothing was picked up on the sensors except for a brief blip when the power was turned off and the mine collapsed. I am sure we panicked for nothing.”

Seeing that Lobac was a bit calmer, Cadet Schweitzer ran a scan of the bunker to look for any environmental conditions or chemical or biological signatures that would account for the mine collapse, but found nothing. Seeing Lt. Tija smiling in his direction, he smiled back and nodded. However, he could not keep a puzzled look off of his face because he had no scientific explanation for what had happened in the mine.

Tija nodded thoughtfully, but before she could say anything, she heard the Captain’s voice over the com.

=/\= Challenger to Tija. Status report. =/\=

Davis, CO (crosspost)

Tija help up the index finger of her left hand as the call came in and walked a few steps away before tapping her combadge. =/\= Lieutenant Tija here. No one in the bunker seems to be seriously injured. I have been talking to Ressis and Charl Oeuss. They told me that they went a few metres deeper in the fourth shaft and hit something that made a metallic sound. Yet that apparently haven’t been able to find out anything else about what they hit. They also said that some people heard a grinding sound that was followed right away by an explosion. Yet there shouldn’t have been anything down there that could have exploded. Some people thought right away that there might be under attack. Others were more hesitant until the second explosion. Borefar then went into the mine to search for the miners. She hasn’t been seen since. Charl Oeuss said that some of the miners were getting tunnel sickness due to the isolation and started to hear and see things. Things that the sensors didn’t pick up. The only thing the sensors did pick up was some soft of brief blip when the power was turned off and the tunnel collapsed.,=/\= Tija reported in a level, almost detached voice. While she talked she kept her eyes on both Ressis and Charl Oeuss and on Cadet Schweitzer and Lobac.

~Lt. Tija, CMO

Cadet Schweitzer listened as Lt. Tija made her report. He thought about what about the miners reporting auditory and visual hallucinations. Some pathogens could survive underground and cause those symptoms. This could be some sort of infection after all. He saw that Lobac was calm and no longer complaining. He waited and wondered how the Captain would respond to the report and what they would be ordered to do next.

Once the Captain had filled her in on what was happening on the ship and with the two other teams, Tija turned her attention back towards the Ressis and Charl Ouess. “We have a team in the mine right now and they heard voices in one of the shafts. They are working on getting them out of there.” Looking Ouess straight in the eyes, she continued, “While we wait for further news, I want to have a look at that leg of yours. How did you injure it?” As she spoke, Tija pulled the medical tricorder out of the holster on her hip and flipped it open, while taking the little node into her right hand.
