<Ensign Gallagher - Sickbay>

"We're docked. Proceed with the patient transfer."

Ensign Gallagher and the others on the medical team had spent the last half-hour preparing Lt. Tarak to be moved to the StarBase facilities. Tarak's condition had worsened over the night and everyone feared there was little left to be done. Still, Gallagher had not given up. She had taken the greatest care in preparing and moving Tarak to the medical platform that hovered nearby.

She had done the best she could. She had kept Tarak alive (if only marginally) and was now handing him over to the medical personnel on StarBase 336. It was now up to them to make the decisions. Feeling drained and a little apprehensive, Ensign Gallagher watched as the medical team took Tarak out of the sickbay. "God's speed, Sir."

"Bridge, this is Sickbay. Patient transfer complete."

With the records on Tarak finished and handed over, she decided to go over the rest of the crew's medical files and do some checking - afterall, the Lafayette might not be getting a senior medical officer while it's here and the responsibility of the crew's health would have to fall into someone's hands. Ensign Gallagher had proven to be a capable leader in emergency situations, but it remained as yet to be seen if she could deal with the other stewardships that came with being a medical officer in StarFleet.
