Mission: Into a Devil's Heart
Location: Planet Hospital
Timeline: MD6 0400 hours

Entering the hospital, the was no special activity. She went up to a counter, "I am Lt. LaToon, the Chief Medical Officer for the USS Iapetus, I have came to help with the Disaster victims."

The receptionist looked confused, "But Doctor, we have no disaster victims. We have not had any disasters lately, well we had a bit of a gas explosion but that was not a disaster. Let me call the administrator." She turned away and picked up a phone, and talked quietly, although Annalyn caught some of her thoughts and it was that there was a doctor here to help with a disaster, and could he come talk to her. A minute later, "If you will have a seat, our administrator will be here in a minute."

Annalyn wandered around the area, carefully listening to the public thoughts floating though the air. People coming and going, and thinking about their burned relatives or friends, so something had happened.

When the Administrator came he was all graciousness, holding out his hand. "Morning Doctor, Abby said you had come to help, but we don't have anyone who needs help, we have had nothing happen.

Annylyn just looked at him, "I think we need to speak privately, don't you? My Captain is with the Governor right now, and the ship is in orbit over the City. We scanned very thoroughly, so maybe we need to go elsewhere and talk about what we saw?"

He visibly collapsed as he turned and led the way to his office.

Entering the office, he went to his seat and collapsed. "You scanned?"

"Yes we scanned, we saw the destruction,. This is my assistant, Kile, so what happened?"

He thought for a minute, trying to decide what to tell her, "We had a gas explosion, in that area, we have quite a few injuries, and I guess we could use some help."

Standing in the door, Annalyn nodded, "How many injured?"

Running his hand though his hair, "I don't have the figures here, but we still have quite a few in the intensive care area. I will see if I can get figures. Let me get someone to show you were to go." He pushed a button and called someone to come show the Doctor where they were needed. HE shuffled papers until someone came and took Annalyn and Kile off.

Entering the area they were shown, they were introduced to the Doctor, Doctor Stiles, who was talking fast so she could not get a word in edgewise.

"Asyoucanseewehavelotsofpatientshereandwearedoingthebestjobweean."

As soon as he took a breath, "Stop!" she moved forward, "talking fast is not necessary, as I can think as fast as you can talk, and I have seen the area the destruction took place in, so I need answers, not confusion. First, How many injuries do you have in the hospital now?"

He deflated, "We have close to 100, still too hurt to move."

"How many did you have that you have moved?" Making some notes on a padd she took from her pocket.

"I am not sure how many were treated and released, that is not my compartment."

She made some more notes, "How many died?"

Running his hand over his bald head, "we lost 10, I don't know how many were lost and never found, or were killed and never brought here."

Making more notes, "Show me who needs the most help."

They followed him to a long ward room with nurses all but running from one end to the other. "These are the worst off, they will probably all die, we are doing all we can, but it probably won't be enough.'

Turning to Kile, "You start at that end, I will start at this end, and scan and heal what you can, you have the AP?"

Kile nodded as he walked away, "yes Doctor, I do."

Setting down the pack she had been wearing, she pulled out a tricorder and the AP and went to the first patient. Scanning she discovered gas burns and Plasma burns. While they were doing right for the gas burns, plasma burns needed different treatment. She scanned carefully, got the feel for what was needed and went down to where Kile was working.

"Use a hypospray with 1cc of Hyronalyn, 1cc rexlin, 1cc tri-ox compound. The hypospray will hold that much, then use .5 cc of the mix on each patient."

"So I am seeing plasma burns too, I thought so, was just going to come ask." Kile started digging in his backpack for the required ingredients.

Annalyn moved back to the other end, mixing up the hypospray she gave the first patient the injection and picked up the ap and started healing. After the second patient was done, and on the way to healing more naturally, she straightened.

=/= LaToon to Krace. This was no gas explosion, at least not by its self, several of the patients have burns consistent with phaser fire. I would say that they got shot at and something exploded alright, there are some very hurt people here. =/=

=/=Thank you, Lieutenant,=/= he responded =/=Do what you can for them. Krace out.=/=

Moving to the next patient now she had the attention of the doctor of this shift. "What did you give them?"

She looked up, then straightened up, "I have them 1cc of Hyronalyn for the plasma burns, 1cc rexlin to help with pain and 1cc tri-ox compound which is a high level antibotic."

The doctor looked shocked, "Plasma burns, we were told this was a gas explosion, how would they have plasma burns?"

Annalyn nodded, "There was a gas explosion, I have not doubt, but it was caused by someone shooting the gas tanks from space. You got attacked, and I believe you need to change your treatment of everyone with this in mind."

He looked so shocked, and all but ran from the room, yelling for someone.

Annalyn went back to the patient.

Several hours and almost 100 people later, they both were beamed back aboard the Lapetus, both exhausted and supplies they had with them depleted. She had more sent down, and then retired to her room, to sleep.
