Kat continued to move from person to person checking for more acute signs<br>
of radiation poisoning. She'd also keep a close watch on the inoculation<br>
progress the techs seemed to be making. She knelt down to treat a rather<br>
elderly woman as best she could even if it were only to keep her<br>
comfortable. As she treated the woman her thoughts turned to that of her own<br>
mother's failing health. Kat sighed softly as the woman drifted off to sleep<br>
leaning against the gave wall. 'well at least she's a little more<br>
comfortable' she thought. So far most of the cases she was seeing were<br>
fairly mild much to her relief. She looked to her left noticing a small<br>
group huddled together. "anyone happen to check them over there?" she asked<br>
as one by one the techs shrugged. Kat started over towards the group<br>
"i........it's ok " she said softly as they seemed to cringe as she<br>
approached. "I'm a doctor.... I'm here to help you." she told them. Slowly<br>
within a few moments the group allowed her to move closer.<br>
<br>
<br>
Marcus finally made his way back to Kat and the group, he observed the<br>
doctor for a few moments, watching the way she dealt with her patients, and<br>
hoping that Cait made it back to the ship in time to save her patient.<br>
"Commander Wilkinson," He paused momentarily, "Is there any additional help<br>
needed." He held up a patient hand, "That you think can be given at this<br>
time."<br>
<br>
Kat looked up for a moment to see Saladin had returned. She had just begun<br>
to run scans on the group when he'd addressed her. She looked over her<br>
shoulder noticing one of the med techs struggling to inoculate the few<br>
people next to<br>
<br>
her. "I think we've about taken care of everyone...Commander......but if<br>
you'd like you could give Crewman Harper a hand over there." she told<br>
Marcus. "I believe this is her first away mission." she added.<br>
<br>

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

Vilqa nodded toward Toby as a welcome for him to initiate comms with his<br>
wife but she mouthed the words 'Inoculation Status'.<br>
<br>
Toby nodded to K`y, letting her know he got it and then tilted his head to<br>
the side ever so slightly, "Commander Blake, what is the status on the<br>
inoculations?" He worked very hard to keep his worry out of his voice,<br>
keeping it calm and firm, he was quite proud of himself not to mention glad<br>
that her empathy was weaker than his.<br>
<br>
[Shuttle]<br>
<br>
Even if Cait's empathy had been stronger than his, she wouldn't have noticed<br>
<br>
so focused was she on her patient. Her voice was definately distracted.<br>
"Innoculations were going well when I left. Doctor Wilkinson and Doctor<br>
Juard are finishing those up and checking the rest---" Alarms started going<br>
off in the medbay. "Damn it! 20ccs adrenaline now! Lox, hand me the<br>
resucitator." Cait didn't seem to realize her com was still on.<br>
<br>
[Vimy]<br>
<br>
Toby looked at K`y and arched a brow, "Doctor, is someone on the away team<br>
injured?"<br>
<br>
[Shuttle]<br>
<br>
"Lox here. No, it is one of the indigenous personnel. Radiation poisoning I<br>
think." He handed Cait the resuscitator.<br>
<br>
[Vimy]<br>
<br>
"I see, what we really need to know is the situation down there? Has anyone<br>
been able to convince the locals to be transported off the planet to safety?<br>
Saladin mentioned they weren't wanting to be moved." Toby sighed, and pushed<br>
down the less than polite or kind thought he had about Cait trying to save<br>
the life of someone who may not really want saving.<br>
<br>
</div></div>"No idea Commander." Justin looked over at Cait "Doc? Do you have an answer?"<br>
