With Ensign Luan patched up, and put on light duties until she could get checked out properly by Sickbay for any lingering effects, Aeryn then moved on to Lieutenant JG Owen Maguire, one of her astrophysicists. This time, the damage caused to the Irish officer was limited to a nasty cut to his forehead and fractured left wrist from where he had collided with the lab table. " I have faith in your abilities, Chief" Owen quipped as Aeryn finished scanning him, before focusing on the cut, first stemming the dripping flow of blood, with the dermal regenerator and administering the necessary pain relief.
" What can I say? "I'm a woman of many talents" she quipped back, keeping the conversation light and good-humoured while she treated her officer. So far they had been lucky that no one had been severely injured and that those affected had chosen humour as a defense mechanism rather than fall to pieces. Not that Aeryn had expected anything less from those under her command, including Midshipman Alexis Ortega, who handled her first emergency without issue as she assisted Philippe.
She couldn't ask for a better team, who had come together just like her old team, showing tenacity and bravery, and, above all else, a cool head and not letting emotion control them. It made her proud to be their Chief as she finished healing the cut and moved on to Owen's fractured wrist, repeating her steps from earlier.
