HRH the Queen Ashexana I of the Free Fleets lies in our sickbay, critically injured from a Xovul attack on her flagship Rixx. Atlantis intervened, finding the Rixx in dire straits with no warp drive or cloak after her escorts were destroyed. After the battle with the Xovul dreadnought destroyed, the Queen collapsed while thanking us and was beamed to our sickbay at the behest of her first officer, Mr. Hadley. Now we struggle to save the life of a head of state, with her ship and crew likely needing our aid as well…

MED Lt Acacia05-Aug-2020 22:30:14

CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:34:44
Bridge: Atmospheric entry interface in ten seconds...
ACTION> Atlantis, with Rixx in tow and safely ensconced in her shields, encounters the upper atmosphere of the deep blue gas giant. A red bubble appears around the shields as the gases heat to a plasma from the shock of our speed.
XO Cdr Kuari05-Aug-2020 22:36:05

We are taxing emergency power too much...
TAC2 Cpt Grey05-Aug-2020 22:39:49
:: glances at her console with a sigh, checking the long-range scanners, transitioning to short-range:: CO: They're close to switching to short-range scanners.
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:39:55

CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:40:30
ACTION> The entry heating begins to subside, and the fiery orange bubble of plasma begins to fade. The main viewer shows skies of deep azure, with lighting crashing far below us toward the heart of the giant.
All: I wonder if those bulky dreadnoughts can fly in atmospheres...
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:41:47
::moves on to suctioning around the blood vessel to remove excess blood and clotting, and then begins closing up the shrapnel wound::

:: smiles wryly, then it breaks into a soft scowl before returning to neutrality. She shrugs :: CMO: Eager to help.. but yes, perhaps a viral outbreak simulation is in order.
CSO Cdr Wright05-Aug-2020 22:41:59
CO: Let's hope we don't find out today.
CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:42:04
:: sends a few requested aerodynamic tweaks to the shield geometry up to the tactical console ::
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:43:08
MED: Certainly couldn't hurt...
CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:43:50
TAC2: I sent some shield tweaks your way for easier flight.
:: notices a particularly thick cloud formation, and then flies their formation below it ::
MED Lt Acacia05-Aug-2020 22:44:38
:: smirks at that, working on reattaching all of the various muscles in the abdomen :: CMO: Always good to be prepared.
TAC2 Cpt Grey05-Aug-2020 22:45:05
:: makes the requested tweaks to the shield geometry, checking the scanners again :: CO: Received and implemented.
CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:45:19
:: nods as their flight performance improves ::
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:45:44
MED: I think we've repaired the worst of her injuries now. Moving on to the broken bones and contusions.
TAC2 Cpt Grey05-Aug-2020 22:46:27
Ethan> :: finishes up with the patient, moving to the next with a quietly-spoken greeting ::
CSO Cdr Wright05-Aug-2020 22:46:27
CO: I think I can evacuate the Rixx in 75 seconds if it becomes necessary.
CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:46:30
:: sets the autopilot to track the tall cloud deck and stay under it, and the viewer grows darker ::
CSO: That is good to know. Again, let us hope we do not find out today if you can.
ACTION> Our sensors reveal that the dreadnought has entered the system and has made its way to the site of the battle.
:: rubs at her temples ::
MED Lt Acacia05-Aug-2020 22:48:01
:: nods lightly, closing up the abdomen as she finishes up with the internals. She checks the scans, finding any bone fractures so she can patch them ::
HRH Ashexana05-Aug-2020 22:48:24
:: is now breathing much more easily as well ::
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:50:37

MED Lt Acacia05-Aug-2020 22:53:00
:: nods, getting distracted and going for the dermal regenerator. She begins on the worst of the queen’s burns, right over her neck, because her own neck was starting to itch. She nods as she glances at the scans :: CMO: Much better.
CEO LCdr Ilaihr05-Aug-2020 22:53:21
::Looks to the Rixx's chief with discomfort. It was quieter and less violent, but the vibration was still there, and almost imperceptibly, but surely, building up slowly.::

:: twitches ::
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:54:21

HRH Ashexana05-Aug-2020 22:54:32
RCEO> CEO: I have it stable, but you people need to stop shaking us around like a can of bolts!
:: her readings settle and she seems to relax again ::
MED Lt Acacia05-Aug-2020 22:55:23
:: continues with the burns in the order of most to least painful, which is not necessarily worst to better. She slowly seems to relax as well, swallowing ::
CMO: Up herrr... anesthetic.
CEO LCdr Ilaihr05-Aug-2020 22:55:37
RCEO: There must have been a good reason... But I concur, we wont be making maneuvers like that again.
HRH Ashexana05-Aug-2020 22:55:45
:: almost seems to smile a little as the most painful burns fade ::
RCEO> CEO: See that you don't! :: mutters under his breath as he fixes the hell out of something ::
TAC2 Cpt Grey05-Aug-2020 22:56:49
:: is glancing to the scanners, noting the dreadnought had reached the site of the battle, sighing slightly ::
CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:56:58
:: almost feels like she needs to physically be quiet while they are in hiding ::
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:57:08
::moves on to a medium sized laceration on the Queen's face, which only requires a dermal regen, then another on her arm::
SCI Lt Jude05-Aug-2020 22:57:30
:: taps fingers on the edge of her console as she eyes the rest of the bridge ::
CO Capt Harper05-Aug-2020 22:57:52
TAC2: Where are they?
MED Lt Acacia05-Aug-2020 22:58:13
:: taps the button to give the Queen another shot of painkiller herself, blinking a bit as her head has to stop spinning. She regains her composure, and sets back in with the regenerator ::
CEO LCdr Ilaihr05-Aug-2020 22:58:36
::Notes an extra team enter engineering from Atlantis; points them off to main power junctions around the warp core in need of repair; before the core can be brought back online.::
HRH Ashexana05-Aug-2020 22:58:47
:: relaxes further, the drugs being good ones ::
TAC2 Cpt Grey05-Aug-2020 22:59:41
Bridge: Dreadnought has reached the site of the previous battle, right in the transitional zone of long range to short-range scanners :: reports quickly, checking the scanners again ::
CMO Lt Tailor05-Aug-2020 22:59:51
::glances at Acacia, who seems to be 'off' for a second:: MED: Are you all right? ::finishes up with the lacerations and bruising::
MED Lt Acacia05-Aug-2020 23:01:02
:: bobs her head, smiling lightly as she finishes off the burns and looks up at Tailor :: CMO: She already wants to wake up. Bit more, er.. easier to feel than a human patient, perhaps.
