Medical-compartment

USS Odyssey

I-I C/T-141 "Ace of Spades" / medical-compartment

The primitive medical technology of the 2030s is compacted here into a tiny space, mostly designed to keep casualties just barely alive for long enough to reach port.

*she peeks into the med compartment, looking around for a moment before taking a closer look*

Narrator BOT 31-Jan-21 03:56 PM

*The Autodoc chamber is closed. A small screen mounted to the door of the coffin-like device beeps periodically, and scrolling text across it reads 'Patient deceased. Remove patient and insert next casualty.'*

Lt. Francesca Mulgrew BOT 31-Jan-21 03:57 PM

"Report, Lieutenant."

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 31-Jan-21 03:59 PM

"I found a crewman. And an autodoc."

Lt. Francesca Mulgrew BOT 31-Jan-21 04:01 PM

”About that Medical log, did you find anything?”

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 31-Jan-21 04:01 PM

*she looks for a release to open the chamber before her*

"working on gathering info"

*There is a latch on the door, which when pulled causes the door to open slowly under spring power. The man inside is dead. Extremely so. Is internal bleeding still internal bleeding when the blood is leaking through what remains of the skin? As a narrator who isn't a medical professional, I have no idea.*

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 31-Jan-21 04:08 PM

*she grimaced, giving a hard sigh. Definitely not coming back from those injuries. She mumbled a quick apology for disturbing the deceased and looked to the nearest console, attempting access* (edited)

Narrator BOT 31-Jan-21 04:09 PM

*It looks like the computer was logged in when it was last used. The Autodoc logs are in fact open and waiting.*

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 31-Jan-21 04:10 PM

*she tabs into the autodoc logs, taking a few moments to review their content*

Narrator BOT 31-Jan-21 04:12 PM

*One hundred and twelve casualties are listed in medical logs. The first seventy-two died after attempts to save them by the ship's doctor. The seventy-third was the ship's doctor. After that, casualties accelerated, as all the Autodoc could do with such massive doses of radiation as it detected in the crew's systems was attempt to prolong their lifespans and give pallative care - beyond which, there was only one autodoc yet the entire crew was dying of acute radiation exposure.*

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 31-Jan-21 04:15 PM

*One hundred and twelve deaths. One hundred and twelve souls lost due to a sensor malfunction? She wondered just how many crew had been on board before. This was the first corpse she had found. What happened to the other one hundred and eleven.*

*going back over to the corpse, she gently removed them, tethering them to the nearest flat surface. They deserved more respect than caged in an autodoc*

Narrator BOT 31-Jan-21 04:21 PM

*Moving the corpse knocks free a few of the puddles of blood that had pooled around the haemorrhages, sending blobs of blood floating across the cabin. Luckily, there are a few red-stained towels in one corner, apparently to deal with this.*

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 31-Jan-21 04:23 PM

*she quickly grabs the towel, mopping up the blood orbs.*

Lt. Francesca Mulgrew BOT 31-Jan-21 04:25 PM

“Acknowledged. But you should come back so we can check the Habitat module, we don’t want to linger.”

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 31-Jan-21 04:27 PM

"Acknowledged"

*she gave one last look at the module and deceased within and exited, making her way to rejoin the group*
