First Officer Injury

Posted on 12/14/2014 @ 11:15pm by Captain Joshua Riker & Lt. Commander E.M.H Theodor Gray & Ensign Tolo & Master Ch. Petty Off. Michael Eddington Jr. & Ensign Kelly Laforet

Mission: Brave New World
Location: USS Phoenix Sickbay
Timeline: Downtime pending completion of the Phoenix scans

The door to sickbay opened and the groans of pain could be heard from across the room.  As Commander Riker, clearly in intense pain, walked in leaning on Master Chief Eddington.  Slightly behind the Commander was ensign Tolo who was supporting the Commander's clearly broken arm and dislocated shoulder.  Hearing the groans and running over to see the wounded executive officer nurse Kelly Laforet went to ask what was wrong, but could not get out a word before Doctor Gray materialized in sick bay.  Looking down at the outfit he was wearing Doctor Gray sighed, disappeared and then reappeared in his Starfleet medical uniform.

"This way put him over here" gesturing towards an empty medical table Doctor Gray helped Eddington and Tolo seat the wounded Commander.

Reaching over for a medical tricorder Doctor Gray pointed towards the back wall and shouted instructions to his nurse.

"Bring me a set kit and a regenerator."

As the nurse ran towards the other side of sickbay Doctor Gray was quickly filing a hypospray and injected Commander Riker.  As the pain killer and sedative set in Riker's groans of pain began to calm.  Just as Riker's breathing slowed Nurse Laforet handed the doctor his set kit and placed the regenerator on the table behind him.

"What happend?" She asked.

Looking down at his medical tricorder Doctor Gray quipped.

"The Commander appeared to have suffered multiple fractures to his radius and ulna".

"No, I mean how did it happen"

Gesturing to the matching uniforms Riker, Tolo and Eddington were wearing, the same uniform Doctor Gray was wearing when he first appeared, he answered.

"It was parrises squares.  The Commander here is insistent that he is as good a player as his father, who was an academy legend"

Turning now Doctor Gray placed the Commanders arm in the set sleeve and began to run the regenerator.  As the Doctor worked to repair the damaged bone the nurse appeared confused as she continued this line of questioning.

"With all due respect sir, you said his father.  Was his father not a clone created by a transporter accident?  Would it not be more appropriate to say his... uh uncle?  What relationship would he have to Admiral Riker anyway?"

Interjecting, as if too cut off this line of questioning, Eddington spoke up.

"Genetically, Admiral William Riker shares the same DNA as his father, in a DNA test there is no difference.  Technically Admiral Riker's transporter clone, one Thomas Riker, is his father but seriously semantics"

The glare coming from Commander Riker not helping the situation any, Eddington attempted to change topics and pointed to Tolo.

"The real story is nurse, the Commander here was wounded diving for a play he should not have made.  He was just mad he was being upstaged by a Bolian"

The conversation was quickly cut off as Riker yelled out in pain.  Doctor Gray quickly pushed him back down on the bed.

"I am reassembling your arm bones on the cellular level.  Do you know how hard that is?  Trust me when I tell you it is very difficult, now sit still"

Eddington and Tolo gave the doctor and nurse room as they continued work on Commander Riker's arm.  Opening the setting sleeve Doctor Gray ran the regenerator over Riker's forearm a few times.

"Give me a few more minutes to work on setting and then we can finish with reassembly, you should be able to clean yourself up in about a half an hour"

As Riker sat up he nodded.  Looking over to Eddington Riker spoke, the pain from his voice fading.

"Master Chief, you and Tolo should clean up and get some rest.  It looks like we may have to delay our next game."

As Tolo made his way towards the door Eddington nodded and smiled.

"Get well soon Commander, our team can't really do much without our worst player."

Laughing to himself Eddington continued.

"I will fill the Captain in on what happened, and have the service reports on your desk"

Riker Nodded and Eddington turned and walked out of sickbay.  As the door shut Riker began making a fist and Doctor Gray began the final swipes of the regenerator fixing the bone in Riker's arm.

"Worst huh?" Riker asked with dissapointment.

"Nah" Doctor Gray responded.

"You are easily in the top four"
