Although she did not particularly wish for severe injuries, it tended to help time pass more quickly. Despite the unusual characteristics of the Yeager itself, occurrences of trauma among personnel were rare unless someone acted recklessly. Consequently, their travel time had been rather uneventful, with little need for the presence of their Chief Medical Officer in Sickbay, which she understood.
While conducting an inventory check to ensure adequate medical supplies, the Caitian pondered how Doctor Cassidy might assist the engineering staff with their isolated shuttle. Upon noticing the third biobed, she began to form some assumptions.
Perhaps he has expertise in biomedical engineering as well as medicine. Given his cybernetic components, it is logical that he possesses knowledge to maintain them. As physicians, we often think ourselves nearly invincible due to our frequent interventions saving lives from the brink of death, believing we can heal ourselves. Alternatively, he might simply be bored and prefer to be elsewhere, rank certainly has its privileges.
Nevertheless, this situation presented her with an opportunity to demonstrate her capabilities. If she could not manage responsibilities while Cassidy and Beinn were away, how could anyone trust her to remain calm during crises? With her preparations complete for any potential emergencies, Kat returned to the office, where she had a clear view of the entrance and could catch up on medical journals. Her mentors had emphasized the importance of embracing new perspectives. Just as she seated herself, an explosion occurred within the ship, causing her to use the desk for leverage to prevent being thrown forward.
"What the hell?"
Given she was alone, the question was purely rhetorical. She quickly turned to monitor the readouts indicating the explosion originated from the Aeroshuttle Bay. Considering the mission details, she anticipated the bay might have been occupied by several crewmembers. Initial casualty figures appeared to be two individuals, though whether they were deceased or merely unconscious was unknown to her.
No communication had been received from the Chief Medical Officer, suggesting he was either unaware of the incident, attending to other injuries in Engineering, or potentially one of the unaccounted-for individuals. Recognizing she could not simply wait, Kat sent necessary alerts to the medical staff, placing them on standby until Engineering cleared the area of any additional hazards.
Furthermore, Kat communicated with non-critical areas of the ship to ascertain if others were injured. Interrupting critical operations during a crisis would be counterproductive; however, if crucial departments like the Bridge or Engineering required assistance, those communications would have already been relayed to Sickbay. Finally, she established a channel to Cassidy, hoping he remained unharmed. Otherwise, her primary contact would be the Child of San-Tarah. Although she harbored no issues with him personally, unfamiliarity and his canine attributes induced slight discomfort.
"Manx to Cassidy. Sickbay has been alerted to the explosion in the Aeroshuttle Bay. The medical team is on standby, awaiting clearance from Engineering to proceed."
