 Kat continued to move from person to person checking for more acute signs
of radiation poisoning. She'd also keep a close watch on the inoculation
progress the techs seemed to be making. She knelt down to treat a rather
elderly woman as best she could even if it were only to keep her
comfortable. As she treated the woman her thoughts turned to that of her own
mother's failing health. Kat sighed softly as the woman drifted off to sleep
leaning against the gave wall. 'well at least she's a little more
comfortable' she thought. So far most of the cases she was seeing were
fairly mild much to her relief. She looked to her left noticing a small
group huddled together. "anyone happen to check them over there?" she asked
as one by one the techs shrugged. Kat started over towards the group
"i........it's ok " she said softly as they seemed to cringe as she
approached. "I'm a doctor.... I'm here to help you." she told them. Slowly
within a few moments the group allowed her to move closer.


Marcus finally made his way back to Kat and the group, he observed the
doctor for a few moments, watching the way she dealt with her patients, and
hoping that Cait made it back to the ship in time to save her patient.
"Commander Wilkinson," He paused momentarily, "Is there any additional help
needed." He held up a patient hand, "That you think can be given at this
time."

Kat looked up for a moment to see Saladin had returned. She had just begun
to run scans on the group when he'd addressed her. She looked over her
shoulder noticing one of the med techs struggling to inoculate the few
people next to

her. "I think we've about taken care of everyone...Commander......but if
you'd like you could give Crewman Harper a hand over there." she told
Marcus. "I believe this is her first away mission." she added.

"Doc.  The captain would like a word if you have a moment." Justin said.

Vilqa nodded toward Toby as a welcome for him to initiate comms with his
wife but she mouthed the words 'Inoculation Status'.

Toby nodded to K`y, letting her know he got it and then tilted his head to
the side ever so slightly, "Commander Blake, what is the status on the
inoculations?" He worked very hard to keep his worry out of his voice,
keeping it calm and firm, he was quite proud of himself not to mention glad
that her empathy was weaker than his.

[Shuttle]

Even if Cait's empathy had been stronger than his, she wouldn't have noticed

so focused was she on her patient. Her voice was definately distracted.
"Innoculations were going well when I left. Doctor Wilkinson and Doctor
Juard are finishing those up and checking the rest---" Alarms started going
off in the medbay. "Damn it! 20ccs adrenaline now! Lox, hand me the
resucitator." Cait didn't seem to realize her com was still on.

[Vimy]

Toby looked at K`y and arched a brow, "Doctor, is someone on the away team
injured?"

[Shuttle]

"Lox here. No,  it is one of the indigenous personnel. Radiation poisoning I
think." He handed Cait the resuscitator.

[Vimy]

"I see, what we really need to know is the situation down there? Has anyone
been able to convince the locals to be transported off the planet to safety?
Saladin mentioned they weren't wanting to be moved." Toby sighed, and pushed
down the less than polite or kind thought he had about Cait trying to save
the life of someone who may not really want saving.

"No idea Commander." Justin looked over at Cait "Doc?  Do you have an
answer?"
