Posted by Captain Kara Nakuto (Civilian, Former CO) in Sickbay - Nakuto seeks medical assistance
She was broken. Physically, mentally and spiritually. But while her ravaged mind might never fully recover from the horrors she had been subjected to, Nakuto clung to the knowledge that her body, at least, could be healed. Her once proud and noble stride had been contorted into a pathetic shuffle, every step causing her a measure of pain as she fixed her eyes on the corridor ahead and attempted to block out the whispers from all around. The rumour of her return had spread throughout the ship with customary lightning speed. And yet for those unfortunate enough to lay eyes on her, they could be forgiven for mistaking their once-valiant former Captain for nothing more than a shadow-wraith.

Her last appearance in the understocked and understaffed sickbay of the USS Viking had heralded an incident of mass hysteria that almost descended into all-out war. But this time there was no commotion to precede her arrival. She was just one more invalid, desperately seeking a miracle.

Moving over to an empty biobed, its half-illuminated control panel indicating that it was at least somewhat functional, the half-Klingon collapsed onto its cushion-like surface and wrapped the thin blanket around her in the manner of a small and frightened child. Here she would wait for assistance. And until it came, perhaps, she could risk an attempt at sleep.

The door to the CMO’s office slowly opened, and SEAI strode out, having been notified of the latest arrival. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of the former Captain, but she quickly set herself to calculating the square root of Pi. After all, it would not do to let her emotions get out of hand in a situation such as this. She set out her medical tools with a practiced precision while her internal tricorder and other sensors started to scan the Captain. While the scans were happening, she decided to see how conscious her patient was, “You know, since the ‘incident’ that occurred, there have been over 342 sightings of your form. Most have turned out to be hallucinations, others have turned out to be practical jokes by those who really wanted some quality time with our favourite security officer. However, I do believe that I cannot have hallucinations, and no one would dare to try and play a joke on me, therefore, you are either real, or think that you are real.”
