{HARBINGER, MEDICAL}

After being told to take it easy, Mira wasn’t sure if she should nod demurely or laugh. She was just happy to be alive.

Zimia rushed in. “YOU’RE ALIVE! Oh, you had me worried. You looked so bad when Awal carried you in.”

Mira’s hand went to her chest. Odd, it hadn’t hurt so badly when it had happened. Now it hurt. Must have been all the Romulan ale she had been drinking. Before she could answer or ask anything, Zimia continued. “The kids are all asleep on your bed. I left Dianna watching them.” Zima told her.

Mira nodded. “How is Jason adjusting.” Her voice sounded far too weak for her liking.

“He stopped crying as soon as he saw Ashla.” Zimia grinned. “Ok, you do what ever the doctor told you. Kids are safe.” Zimia knelt over her and tucked the blanket around her like she was one of the kids and kissed her forehead before she trotted off.

Mira smirked. “I think that was her…” she tried not to laugh. “I think that was her subtle way of telling me go back to sleep?”

It didn’t take long to fall asleep. It was dreamless and deep. Perhaps medically induced. She wasn’t sure if it was and didn’t really care at the moment. Moving definitely brought on some discomfort.

“Any ideas when she will wake up?”

That was Montgomery’s deep voice. Keeping her eyes still closed she answered. “I think I am awake now. What happened?”

He chuckled. “I just need your approval. We located the base that has the Federation ship. No crew survival, we scanned everyone on that base. Orders were to bring it back or destroy it. It’s in 3 pieces.”

Mira frowned then lifted one eyelid to look at him. “Your Recommendation?” she asked as she started to sit up. She hadn’t seen the reports or base but Montgomery was a seasoned officer. She was in medical recovery no reason for her to handle it.

“Complete erasure. We can’t have information on our ships getting out to the beings in this universe.”

Mira nodded with a sigh. “Make it so. Any word on Kevin?” she asked hopefully. It had been 7 months now.

“No, but the two forces have engaged.”

Mira frowned but nodded. She didn’t like the sound of that. “Complete this part of the mission. Then …” Mira gave a little pout. What was she to do?

Montgomery nodded. “Consider the base destroyed, The rescued woman we beamed up are safe and have filed reports. I’ll handle this, you rest.”

Mira nodded settling back on the pillow. Slowly, she started to test her body while laying there.

Awal walks in with his padd still reviewing the BS that happened. He finally looks up at Mira, “how you feeling?”

Mira smiled, as her hand rubbed her chest. “Hurts Still but glad to be alive. No wonder they outlawed those types of weapons.”

K’ner stepped up nearby. “She’ll go in and out for the initial recovery. Montgomery just got the go-ahead to deal with the remnants of the Fleet ship. He seemed rather excited about it.” Her voice was quiet but clear as she reviewed the data stream from her scans as she looked over the Captain.

Awal helped her sit up while the bed was adjusted and she took the mug of broth. “I am assuming my injury was visually documented and we found an image of the shooter?” Mira asked then sipped her broth.

Awal sighed, that’s what I’m reviewing, as he turns the padd towards Mira.

Knowing what they were going to see, K’ner concentrated on updating her notes on the Captain’s condition and reviewing the team training schedule. Roster looked good and Billingsly was taking advantage of every opportunity to spar with each member of the squad to round out her own talents. She wasn’t the fastest chopper in the bunch, but she could hold her own, now.

Mira winced at the impact to her chest on one video feed. “That guy. He had been watching us since we arrived in the city.”

Sandman walked in. “Angel has him and 4 others. She is…. Questioning them.”

Mira raised an eyebrow. “I see.” She frowned that whole group wouldn’t be alive for long.

The ship went to a silent yellow alert just before the weapons started going off. “Next phase of the mission is to close the passage way off in Orion space.” Mira started to say.

Sandman nodded. “Not a problem, close it as you leave. There is one more hidden in a wormhole that formed part of the Drega Nebula. My team can leave that way or on Bajoran base station”

Mira frowned. “But Kevin may not know they are there?” She rubbed her forehead feeling the need to get up and do something. Maybe seeing the kids might help.

“He got this far, and who knows what information he has access to now. He knows you well enough to anticipate and rejoin us when he can.” K’ner hoped her sentiment was accurate.

Mira gave a brief nod. He had known where they were. They had sent a few messages. That last one was questionable. “Who wrote the last message?”
Sandman shrugged. “Rodriguez.”

She closed her eyes. Of course it was him, it was always him. The sounds of the ship’s weapons being used could be heard even down in medical. “Montgomery does know we need to close the passage?”

“Yes we will have enough.” Sandman told her.

“Where are we dropping you off at?” Mira asked him curious as to if he still planned to stay.

“Orion.” Was the answer he gave she nodded.

“I would have loved to play in the waters of Trill before we left.” Mira frowned.

“Visit you’re home world in our universe.” Was suggested by Sandman as he watched Mira shake her head no. He didn’t question her about that decision. For whatever reason, she hadn’t returned home. She didn’t feel safe doing so.

“After the destruction is completed, we drop you off, cross the passage then close it. We meet up with the Vulcan ship and transfer our guest. We will return to home base at top speed. By now, I am sure Krum would like the ship back and I miss the Norris.”

Sandman nodded before leaving the room.

Awal smiled. “Kids are watching fireworks right now.”

Mira grinned. “I can’t wait to see them.” She still felt weak. Perhaps more sleep, then she would returned to her quarters.
