A nurse doing her rounds noticed the various medical tools scattered across the floor. Initially just shrugging to herself, she gathered them up, but as she progressed, she noticed the prone body of one of the medical officers.

She let out an involuntary scream as the man's face was covered in dried green blood, and there was a large, cauterized burn spread across his sternum. "Doctor!" she screamed, tapping her commbadge, "Doctor Kuroka, help! Emergency in main sickbay, oh please hurry!"

C'Tora had just finished his lunch and had just kicked off his boots to make himself comfortable and meditate to his favorite composer,Within a few minutes his breathing had softened and heart rate lowered and was beginning to unwind when his commbadge chimed. He heard the fear and concern in the nurses voice and knew it was serious and took off from his quarters at a dead sprint. He nearly bowled over a few crewmen on his way to the turbolift. A few moments later he entered sickbay and two scents hit him,blood and burnt flesh.

C'Tora knelt beside the prone body of Syvar. " Nurse, I need a medical tricorder, a medkit, hypospray with 5 milligrams of hydrocorizide and a anabolic protoplaser." He scanned Syvar with the tricorder as the nurse administered the hypospray. It was safe to move him off the floor. Nurse please get a sheet and we'll get him on a bio bed. C'Tora grabbed a nearby backboard as he and the nurse gently rolled Syvar onto the sheet and slid him on the backboard and transferred him to the bio bed. He touched the nurses arm and looked at her. " He's going to be ok. He has two cracked ribs and a mild concussion with some minor internal injuries. Nothing we can't fix up and he'll be back on his feet by tomorrow."

He used the anabolic protoplaser to repair the damage to the spleen and the minor concussion. " Bring me a bone and dermal regenerator and begin cleaning up that dried blood." He then began to fuse the cracked ribs until he was satisfied. Afterwards he popped out a single claw and cut away the damaged uniform and started the task of the dermal regeneration, as he worked he tapped his commbadge." Sickbay to security please send a team and notify the bridge that Dr. Syvar has been attacked and injured with a phaser on stun setting at point blank range and is currently being treated. Dr. Kuroka out." He determined it to be safe to try to revive Syvar to consciousness and gave him the hypospray and waited for Syvar to wake to find out what the heck happened.

The young Vulcan stirred, his face contorting in pain as he groaned. "Ohhh," he moaned, feeling he shouldn't move too much. "Where am I?" he asked, without opening his eyes just yet. His hearing picked up several blips and beeps, but his mind felt a little foggy.

Three security guards rushed through the door, "I heard the Lieutenant was attacked." Gwen felt like she'd seen a little bit of everything today, "Can you tell me what happened?"

C'Tora stepped forward the group of security. " I am CMO Dr. Kuroka, I was not attacked Dr. Syvar was." As he motioned towards the bio bed. He picked up the dermal regenerator again and continued treating the burn. " Ensign syvar was shot point blank range with a phaser on heavy stun." His eyes blinked as he looked at Gwen. " I do not have your experience in matters of security,But I am curious. I thought such things as weapons discharge weren't able to happen on federation starships." His voice neither condemning nor accusing, just a mix of curiosity and concern.He gave a gentle smile as he heard Syvar softly groan." Syvar hold still, you have been injured and are being treated for your wounds. Security is here,can you tell us what happened and who did this?"

"Ensign, apologies for the error," Gwen winced, "And yes, there should have been a discharge alert."

"He shouldn't be awake," the nurse protested, "his stress levels are immense." She paused. "And you using your claws to remove his uniform are very unsanitary sir." She fussed over their patient to make him more comfortable.

Syvar forced himself to open his eyes. Claws? What was going on? Slowly, his surroundings began to sink in. "Am..." He started, wincing visibly. "Mirror... Shot me... I fell..." It was obvious though that more had occurred beyond being shot and falling, given the bruise in his face. "Amelia!" More forceful now as he struggled to sit up and failed. "My Amelia... Safe?"

"Hold still Ensign Syvar! you have been injured and your not making it any easier for me to treat you." his tone softened. "Besides we have had no word about any other injuries on the ship at this time,so relax." He looked up at the nurse for a brief moment. "Nurse,next time before you presume to tell me what is unsanitary,perhaps you should reread the section on bio beds and their built in sterile field generators." he shook his head and continued working on his patient.

"Even so, you should use the appropriate equipment, and not your claws," the nurse retorted while trying to ease the patient back onto the bed.

"Amelia," the stricken Vulcan cried, "she's gone to her. Please...she's pregnant, she'll hurt her. Please."

"Can we argue about medical practices after," Gwen snarked, "That really isn't helpful." Turning her attention to Syvar she continued, "We have security all over the ship looking for our mirror assailant. I will ensure they look for Amelia as well. "

C'tora continued to work on Syvar without looking up. "Ensign Leighton, when you have located his mate Amelia could you please notify us here in sickbay please? I would appreciate it if Dr. Syvar didn't have to worry about the safety of his mate."

The medical practice reference was lost on the injured Vulcan and all his nurse did was glare at the other two for it. Tears streaked down his face as he tried to focus, but really, all he wanted to do was give in to the darkness that was tugging at his consciousness. "Amelia..." he whispered, almost inaudibly. The readings on the monitors dropped as he lost consciousness again.

C'Tora grabbed two hyposprays and administered them quickly. Delactovine a mild stimulant and Impedrazine a cardiovascular aid which should stop the readings on the bio bed from falling any further and then continued to treat Syvars injuries until the threat to his existence had been abated.
