Awakening

Posted on 12/19/2013 @ 10:34am by Captain Daniel Summers

Captain Daniel Summers was rendered unconscious during the Azimuth Horizon mission, he lay in sick bay of Starbase 10, Lotus Fleet's Command Headquarters located in the Hromi Sector, a member of Lotus Fleet, Starfleet's most elite fleet responsible for saving the galaxy on numerous occasions at great cost.

 

Daniel Summers was unconscious for quite some time after the Horizon mission before coming around to consciousness. The medical staff had all but given up hope that he would return to them after such a long time in a coma state so when he started to come around no one was paying attention to him but to the others they were working on that had recently come in with injuries sustained from various jobs being done to the new ships of the fleet and the starbase itself. His eyes fluttered for a minute before actually opening for the first time in to him seemed like moments but in reality was months. Vision blurred he blinked violently for a few moments to focus his vision to very little avail, as he looked around he noticed the machines he was hooked up and started disconnecting himself from them as he sat up slowly, almost being thrown back down by the doctor thinking it was some sort of a coma state action much like sleep walking when the doctor realized Daniels eyes were open.

"Captain, I uh, you were, well we thought the worst when you didn't come around after almost a month" the Doctor stuttered out of mere shock.

"A Month? How long have I been out Doctor?"

"Well according to the information we were given after you were brought here after the mission was completed approximately 2 months Earth Standard time" 

Daniel knowing very little of anything about the medical field only basic life saving skills, he was aware that after the amount of time he was out cold there was a very slim chance that one would return to the conscious and not always in the condition they went unconscious. When hearing how long he was under his jaw immediately slacked "2 months, I am astonished I am able to have a conversation let alone sit up and move my appendages, I assume some tests need to be done then Doc?"

"You bet your Betazoid ass they need to be done, especially if you are to return to active duty, before we start those I have 2 questions if you do not mind?" The Doctor quipped

"Doc after being trapped in my own mind it would be a pleasure to talk to another living being" Daniel replied with a bit of a sarcastic tone

The Dr. chuckled silently to himself to not encourage the Captain from continuing and then proceeded to ask the first question "How do you feel right now? In detail please"

"I feel OK I guess, well rested, a little weak some blurred vision but no pain that I can speak of and I can move everything that is supposed to move." Summers replied looking over himself as he moved his arms and legs to make sure he was telling truth and to double check to make there was nothing else.

"Very good, last question before we start our testing this one is a multi parted question How do you feel mentally, do you remember anything from your time unconscious and from the mission?" the Doctor put his PADD down as he asked the questions while looking very inquisitive at Daniel.

"Well I am able to converse with you rather well and comprehend what you are saying and come back with responses in my normal rate so I would say mentally I am ok as far as I can tell without you doing any scans. Uh, as far as remembering anything I remember being on Betazed taking part in the festivals which I am assuming was a dream, I felt calm like I was enjoying myself with no worries of Starfleet or of the safety of the galaxy, so I assume that it was how I would spend my retirement whenever that comes. As far as the mission I remember the meeting and undocking from the starbase other than that I am unaware of anything else that happened entirely" Daniel replied looking blankly into space as he tried to recollect his thoughts and images from his memories or what was left.

"Ok Captain we will begin our tests once I set everything up please stay where you are in the mean time I will have someone bring you some food and drink and we will start with the tests to see if you need any rehabilitation or can go back to active duty especially since this has apparently happened to you once before in your career"

"Very well Doc thanks" Daniel replied as he drifted back into his own mind wondering what the future may hold for him, would he be able to return to Lotus Fleet or drift into the unknown life outside of Lotus Fleet and Starfleet. 

 

OOC: this is just a beginning I ran out of time while typing this will be continued when I have some more time and figure out where I want to go with this.
