With the sensations of the thrumming teleportation beam still fresh in his senses, Niels noticed that the smoky haze of the Cardassian ship had been replaced with a different kind of chaos. The Sickbay was brightly lit and abuzz with activity as the staff worked to deal with the sudden influx of patients. Cindy left him to attend to her wounds and Niels backed up, taking a seat on the edge of a bed. A nurse came over to check on him and he waved her off as he clutched his side. He was obviously in pain and the nurse seemed reluctant to take him at his word.
“I’ll be fine for now,” Niels said, trying to sound better off than he actually felt, “There’s others worse off than me. When things settle down here contact me and I’ll come back to get checked out. Until then, I’ve got work to do.”
Niels rose from the bed, putting all of his energy into maintaining a stoic expression, not trying to let on that putting his full weight on his left leg hurt beyond any pain he had felt before. It seemed to work, and the nurse reluctantly turned her attention to other patients. He leaned back against the bed, relieving the pain and waiting until he saw an opening to slip out of the Sickbay undetected. He grimaced as he made his way around the room, wincing at every other step, but he managed to get to the door. One of the Cardassian patients woke up and that seemed to pull enough attention away to cover his escape.
Aanil is going to kill me, but I need answers.
Crossing into the hallway, Niels paused a few steps away from the door to give himself a chance to rest and regain his composure. After a moment, he continued down the hall, slowly making his way to Main Engineering.
