Dr Jarvis looked in more detail at the Scan of what remained of Ensign Hart’s heart. The Commander was right, there was not enough left to save the organ, a transplant would be the only option. “I suppose we had better replicate a new heart and several units of blood and prepare for surgery.” With that, he strode over to the lab’s replicator and programmed it to produce one artificial (human) heart and several units of blood. Walker may have had the rank, but this was his domain. Not only was this a surgical procedure, but a cardio one; his speciality. That being said, should Hart’s brain prove to be unsalvageable, he wouldn’t mind having a crack at replacing it with positronic circuitry.

Brad grinned, and pulled a tray of surgical instruments from the biobed. “You can have the lead, Doctor,” he said, glad that Jarvis had at least somewhat come around to his way of thinking here. While he worked, he’d ponder the problem of how to deal with the apparent brain death. A cortical stimulator would be the obvious first step, but if that didn’t produce results…

The doors opened to Medlab 3 to let in three people. Zoi Haven, the COS, came in first followed by Erika Cruz and a security crewman. She was surprised to see that the body had not been autopsied and that it seemed to be that Dr Walker was planning on performing surgery. The first comment in her mind came right out of her mouth. “I thought Ensign Hart was dead?”
Haven, Sec
“Hmm, I guess I forgot to re-lock the door,” Brad said sotto voce as he looked up to see the newcomers.
“Funnily enough, it appears as though he’s only mostly dead,” he told them.
Lt. Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff“I believe Security can override any lock on this ship sir.” She said without any ire and stood back to let Erika come forward. She was just here to be security personnel and maybe to make more executive decisions as necessary. Mostly dead sounded a lot like probably dead but maybe who knows? In this screwed up day, she couldn’t begin to know what might come of this situation.
Erika ventured forth, her bravado and provocative smile disappearing instantly. “Mostly?” she said in a quiet, almost haunted voice as she drew closer, her eyes fixed on Hart’s face. Whatever the being was in reality, the manifestation that was Cruz was desperately trying to hold her emotions back, her body notably tense.

“Mostly,” Brad replied. “We’re about to replace his heart and the pint or two of blood he’s lost. Then it’s just a ‘simple’ matter of reigniting the barely-there, blink-and-you’d-miss-it spark of life in his brain, but I’m focusing on one life-threatening problem at a time.”

Gordon stepped into the room, glancing back over his shoulder to check the passage way behind him before the door shut. As he turned back into the room he slammed to a stop, he spotted a body on a bio bed and....what appeared to be…a human heart?“Did they just say they’re replacing a mostly dead persons heart?” He said aloud to no one in particular, his face was beginning to turn a bit green. He was starting to question his choice of a hospital ship as his first tour of duty…
Crewman Gordon Muir, Sec
“Indeed, crewman,” Brad replied. “It’s a fairly simple procedure, and we’ve got one of the best cardiologists in the quadrant to perform it.”
If anyone in the room ever remarked that he’d complimented Jarvis, he’d sent it to his dying day.
Lt. Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffZoi watched Erika’s body language with a keen eye. That was something worth noting. Was she acting this way out of sadness or was she about to make sure the mostly part became completely? Her hand strayed a little closer to her phaser.
Haven, Sec
Dr Jarvis scowled. Even though Walker had just complimented him, this was no time for chit chat; they had a patient to save. He picked up the laser scalpel and with unnerving precision, cut a perfect incision in Ensign Heart’s chest. “Retractor,” he said firmly, taking it on trust that Walker would comply.
Dr J. Jarvis M.D.
Brad did so reflexively, idly musing about how long it had been since he’d done a nurse’s function. He too was keeping an eye on the interloper, and had a second laser scalpel within easy reach. It wasn’t a phaser, but he was a doctor.
