== NRC Lt Tina Trask, Medical ==
The tension was high as alarms were silenced and everyone began taking their positions. They trained constantly for moments like these, but you always hated when they actually happened. Just like every time before, the adrenaline kicks in and then you take a deep breath and focus. All instruments were meticulously placed in their exact locations and prepared for use. Everyone and everything ready for the delicate yet chaotic dance that they hoped would keep people alive. Tina went through her mental checklist, looking to every station and making certain everyone was on their mark and ready.
When Lt O'Shea approached her position, Tina quipped to her diminutive surgeon, "Are you sure you're going to be able to see okay? I can give you a boost if you like." They had worked together before, so it was easy to fall into a familiar routine together again.
Then, the patient appeared on the bed, still in the temporary statsis. They didn't have long, as such a stasis field was hard to maintain, but it gave them a few critical seconds to try and figure out what they were dealing with and perhaps for a plan of action.
The data streaming past on her monitor was unusual. It took her only a second to register that the patient had implants. It was unusual, but she was well versed in basic cybernetics. Tina wasn't very familiar with the field, but as a Trill, her joined symbiont was. Trask had always gravitated to the Medical field. This time it was in Star Fleet. It had allowed an interesting accumulation of experiences so far and this time it was paying off a little. Mostly the use of cybernetics was for prosthetics, but these implants were different. That's when she saw on her screen that there was highlighted information the ship listed a Cybernetics research expert on staff and available for consult. She couldn't believe it at first, then pressed the key to initiate a consult. How did she not know such a person was on staff?
Immediately there was another transport signal in the room, but it was to the side. Tina recognised the face and was stunned at first, saying to herself, "You?" Her mental stumble lasted only a second though, as she looked to O'Shea, "We're ready."
