Location: Sickbay
Thirteen Hours after he had been transported into sickbay, his eyes fly open and he sat straight up into a sitting position. He looks around, noticing that he's in sickbay, a full sickbay, at that. His Environmental suit had been taken off, much to his relief. He hated them
He had surprised two nurses when he had suddenly sat up and they were now trying to coax him to lay back down. One reported that he had suffered a mild concussion and other minor scrapes, bruises and other battle scars. He thought the concussion was Kate's parting "gift" to him as she had sacrificed herself for him and the Terrasect
As he continued to observe, he saw Grant in another bio bed. He seemed to be unconscious from another injury. From what, he couldn't tell. It didn't look like he was bleeding much, just from his nose. He shook his head ~humans. they are so fragile and soft~ He also noted a female that looked somewhat like Grant, like she could be a sibling, in a biobed next to the male Grant. He shook his head ~Another Grant? In the name of Sun Fall Of~Ennien, I hope not~
One of the nurses that was urging him to lay down broke into his thoughts/observings "Sir, you need to lay down. You've been through a lot. You need to rest some more"
He gave the nurse an odd look "Been through a lot? Typical day aboard this ship"
Yes, sir. Now please lay down. I don't want to have to sedate you"
He gave an irritated growl and done as asked. He asked the nurse and asked who had the bridge at the moment. The nurse told him it was Mr. Hound. He growl/groaned a bit then tapped his comm badge
"Lt Hound. Status Report"

Location Sickbay
After the battle sickbay became swamped with patients. She wished she had more time to say good-bye to Ann and the wee one Colin.
But now it was settling down and she was making rounds when she called over to the Felines bio bed.
"What seems to be the problem here?"
She was informed by the nurse. She looked at the feline.
"Now, you listen to me. You still need to be here for a few hours. If all goes well I will release you. Trust me, Cmdr I want you out of sickbay as much as you want it. I don't appreciate your unnerving my staff with your growls."
"You and I both know you not harm them, it is only your displeasure and discomfort thats growling. But your nurse is young and knows nothing of your race. she smiled.
Her comm badge chirped, "Sick bay here, we are working as fast as we can to get everyone to their post. I will have a detailed report for ya soon. MacAuley."

He saw the Doctor come over just as he smelled the fear from the young nurse that was treating him. The doctor had asked the young nurse what was wrong and when she told the doc, she proceeded to give him another verbal cuffing
"Now, you listen to me. You still need to be here for a few hours. If all goes well I will release you. Trust me, Cmdr I want you out of sickbay as much as you want it. I don't appreciate your unnerving my staff with your growls."
"You and I both know you not harm them, it is only your displeasure and discomfort that's growling. But your nurse is young and knows nothing of your race.
He gave the doctor a neutral expression for a moment, then looked back at the young nurse. As he looked back to the doctor, he gave her an amused look and tried to imitate her brogue ( way of speech ) "I did not intend to scare the wee bonnie lass, doctor. If she knows nothing of my race then I would politely suggest that she start learning, especially if she is to determine the meaning of my growling. When I growl like this" Looking to the nurse, he gives a light, annoyed growl toward the nurse, seeing her back peddle a step "It is nothing to worry about. I growl all the time, with different situations. Now when I growl like this" He gives a more threatening menacing growl, seeing the nurse almost faint "Then you know something is wrong, like something has happened that I don't like or I sense something bad is going to happen"
He saw the doctor about to say something again and then he added, going back to an amused look, he then playfully growls at the doctor, turning it into a slight purr, then addressing the nurse "That type of growl would let you know I would like to.. play" He curled his tail in amusement and the nurse giggled a bit "There is more about us to learn but it would take me too long to explain"
He then heard Buford's report and he nodded "Very good, Lt. I hope the beating we gave the would teach them we are not easily preyed upon. As soon as I am released from sickbay, I'll be back on the bridge. Do us all a favor and don't run into anything"
He chuckle-hissed, waiting for Buford's response, or the doctor's response to his unorthodox way of teaching the nurse a few things about him

Buford's tail wags as Grab Foot says "Very good, Lt. I hope the beating we gave the would teach them we are not easily preyed upon. As soon as I am released from sickbay, I'll be back on the bridge. Do us all a favor and don't run into anything"
"Me run into anything never" he says in amusement "I'd say take your time but I'm reckoning the Doc wants you out of sickbay as soon as you can" he says in amusement

He heard Buford over his comm and he chuckle-hissed again
"I imagine so, Buford.. especially when i'm trying to flirt with the bonnie lass"
He looked at the doctor, gauging her reaction

"The bridge is in good paws Sir" he laughs

Sam woke, with a migraine to beat the band… But he didn’t wake up to the soft words of the doctor, or a caring nurse… Not even by a medical injection. No, Sam woke up to ‘growl’ which he new all to well… He lifted his head up enough to confirm his suspicions, and groaned as he laid back down, he waived at one of the nurses… “A phaser… please…” The young nurse, which had stuttered backwards from Grabfoot’s initial growl, gave him funny look.
“The fact that I have to be in here I’m sure gives the good doctor here to much pleasure as it is, but to be tortured by your growling could be enough to make me squeeze my morphine drip…” Sam said to Grabfoot.
Sam tried to sit up, but when his head suggested he do otherwise, he didn’t argue and laid back down. His head hurt; badly. The telepathic message, and the pain that was sent along with it during her ‘death wails’ from the explosion, had sent Sam into something along the lines of a coma. He looked around sickbay and saw all the wounded personnel inside, from the minor scrapes to the critical and on the verge of death injures. Sam wanted to leave, desperately, as he wanted the others to receive treatment before him, but surprisingly he found himself to actually have an injury that required immediate treatment.
He looked over to his left and saw an injured security officer, and on his right he saw his sister sitting up on her bed reading a PADD. He just rolled his eyes, “Jadzia, your as bad as me…” he said, a small grin showing.
“Mr. Grabfoot, when we get out of here, you’ll have to tell me what happened over there. What you saw, what Kate did…” Sam began, but caught himself, the mention of Kate seemed to jar his mind, for multiple reasons, but wondered if Ann knew… Oh god, how long had it been. He called out “Ann, where’s Ann? Has anyone told her what happened? Doctor, where is she? Does she know?” an odd expression passed the good doctors face “What? Why are you looking at me that way?”
When Colina told Sam that Ann had left, not just Sickbay but the Terrasect as a whole, Sam laid back down on the cot and became very quiet; his eyes watered up and a single goose tear passed down the side of his face.
He laid quietly, barely speaking a single word, until he was discharged from Sickbay.

He was about to respond to Buford when he heard both Grant and the woman that looked like his sibling woke up. Grant asking for a phaser then saying to “The fact that I have to be in here I'm sure gives the good doctor here to much pleasure as it is, but to be tortured by your growling could be enough to make me squeeze my morphine drip…”
His humor seemed to dry up a bit when Grant woke up and he turned a narrow-eyed look his way. He thought about the phaser that Grant just asked for ~don't tempt me, Grant..~ he thought to himself, before responding verbally "I could do worse then merely growl, Mr. Grant and you should know this" He saw that he tried to sit up but couldn't then turned to the female beside him, speaking to her briefly in humor, the female responding in kind
His whiskers and ant tail twitched a bit "Don't tell me. Another Grant?" He turned to the female "I hope you're not as annoying as he is"
He turned back to Grant as he stated “Mr. Grab Foot, when we get out of here, you'll have to tell me what happened over there. What you saw, what Kate did…”
His ears quivered in thought as he remembered what had happened, then finally drooping a bit as he remembered Kate's sacrifice "Why wait"? he said a little irritably "What I saw over there was a nothing short of a nightmare. There was still one of them Lizards over there and he was out for blood. Even though he was young, he was still quite large. About 7 to 8 feet tall, I would estimate about 400 maybe 500 pounds, razor sharp claws about a foot long and razor sharp teeth about the same size, close to 100 of them. Kate and I both attacked him, and he wouldn't stay down. So we came up with a plan where I would distract him while she got the core ready to eject. This was after he killed the Security teams that went over there. He was quite efficient at it too, killed them in less then a minute" He paused a moment
Then went on "Once Kate dealt with the core, she came and helped me with the lizard. I intentionally had him knock me into a wall to make him think he was going to win, then Kate came in and used her fire-y abilities to slice up and cook the lizard fiend and that STILL didn't kill him" Frustration evident in his voice "We raced back to eject the core and the lizard came after us. Then his eyes started to water as he remembered this last bit "I told Kate to eject with the core while I went to finish off the lizard but I no more then turn around and go after the beast, I'm struck from behind and knocked out. I come to floating on the core and the realization that Kate sacrificed herself to save me" His ears and whiskers drooped a bit more, a tear or two sliding out of his eyes
He then heard Grant ask for Ann and the doctor tell him that she had left the Terrasect. Grant suddenly went quiet and had no response to that, which he thought was a first. He could smell intense sadness coming from him and his nose twitched. He then actually tried to cheer Grant up "Don't feel too bad, Grant. At least Ann left the ship, alive. We can't say that for Kate now, can we?" He said more sarcastically then anything
As he waited for Grant's response, he hoped in the back of his mind that Kate would eventually return one day

Post by jadzia on Jun 16, 2008 2:43:14 GMT -5
Location: Sickbay
Jadzia had woken up from her sleep, which she felt was partially medically induced, and noticed that her skin was tender to the touch and extra sensitive. But surprisingly, she did feel better… kinda. She had no idea what happened to her, but she vaguely remembered entering Sickbay and being very sick, that was about it.
Upon gathering up her surroundings, as best she could, she sat up in her bed and leaned against the headboard of her bio bed. She’d retrieved a PADD and was reading up on information pertaining to the Terrasect, the battle, and so forth.
She inwardly giggled as Grabfoot startled the nurse, and just shook her head. “Yes another ‘Grant’; name's Jadzia. ” she said to Grabfoot, “couldn’t you see the resemblance between my brother and me?” she asked. It was a trick question, as they couldn’t look less alike if they were different species.
She thought the growl was… interesting… but dismissed it outright. She returned to her PADD when she noticed Sam wake up, she just laughed when he compared him to her “No, I’m actually worse; even mother agreed with that…” she laughed, a little withdrawn this time, the mention of home was mildly painful.
When she noticed Sam lay down, very sullen, her face squirmed and her petite nose scrunched up “Sam? What’s the matter?” The look on his face, a look of pain she not often saw her brother display, caused her to shut right up and look away. She winced as Grafoot made two references that she wouldn’t have made, even if heavily intoxicated… She shook her head…
“If he gets up and comes after you, I’m not getting involved…” she said "I've only seen that look a few times, I think the last person who saw it is just learning to chew solid food again...", as she looked back to her PADD. Her long black hair covering half her face.

Grant seemed to remain quiet, even after his verbal report on what had happened on the Terkosis. He then turned to the female Grant, and he began to get a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach. He merely blinked and shrugged it off.
“Yes another ‘Grant’; name's Jadzia. Couldn't you see the resemblance between my brother and me?" He heard from the female Grant and he nodded, sensing she was pulling her tail slightly so he responded in kind, even though it wasn't necessary "Yes, I can see the resemblance, although you are more attractive and more pleasing to the eye then he is" He spiraled his tail into a bit of a helix, then spiraled it tighter when she stated “No, I'm actually worse; even mother agreed with that" He heard her laugh but if sounded a bit reserved, as if mentioning her home had hit a sore spot. His ears tilted forward on that, but he didn't question it. Instead, he came back with "Worse then him? In the name of Sun Fall Of~Ennien, that could not be possible but would be interesting to see." He chuckle-hissed, then introduced himself to the female Jadzia. I am Grab Foot Of~Two Dawns, Grab Foot for short" He intentionally left his rank out of it, but she could plainly see his Lt Cmdr's pips
He heard her turn to grant and question him as he lay back and grow quiet. He thought of making a comment on that but then he dismissed that, knowing she is concerned for her sibling. He even started to become a bit concerned himself as he had never seen Grant like this. Grant usually had a come back for everything but the latest development, Ann's departure, seems to have taken the life and the humor out of him. He could sympathize. He had feelings for Ann but then she didn't share those feelings so he backed off then lately he started developing feelings for Kate, then she went and sacrificed herself
Jadzia broke into his thoughts, saying “If he gets up and comes after you, I'm not getting involved…” I've only seen that look a few times, I think the last person who saw it is just learning to chew solid food again..."
He glanced over at Sam, seeing a more pained expression and what smelled like anger mixing with the sadness he felt. He looked back toward Jadzia, "If he gets up and comes after me, I may have to put him back down again, more forcefully then he would like. I am sure I am a better fighter then the last one that is learning to chew solid foods"
He had no malice or ill intent in his tone of voice. He said it simply, like he believed it to be true. He liked the male Grant, knew he was a very good officer, even if he was very annoying at times

Colina looked at Lt Cmdr GrabFoot Of Two Dawns, and she gave him a stern look, telling the nurse to complete the inventory. She waited for him to finish his com.
"First, I want to thank ya for helping to alleviate her concerns. I must attempt it was wee bit dramatic. It's not the route I'd be taking. Now, you listen to me. You need to rest for a few hours and if ya dun do as told I will sedate ya. Now I don't want to be doing that." She waited for him to answer her.

He then looked toward the doctor like she had grown a pair of horns after hearing what she had said, an ear tilting back somewhat in disdain
"Dramatic? Doctor, it is how my people do things, we like to show how we do things as part of explaining things verbally. It is not to belittle anyone. It is merely our way"
As far as sedating me, I think I have been resting quite enough. How long has it been since I was transported here until I woke up? I know it has been over 12 hours. In the meantime, you and your staff has treated my wounds and I thank you for it. I feel fine now and I think it is time I return to the bridge and return to duty"
He spoke in a calm manner to the doctor, matter of factly, not in a rude or belligerent manner. As he spoke, he heard Buford answer his call for a report. He paused to wait for Conina's response before responding to Buford
