Mission: The Lost Brother
Location: Sickbay
Timeline: After ‘Cries in the dark’

The doors to Sickbay swisher open to reveal Sky and Tony. Sky was trying to act her usual strong, and assertive self but deep down she was feeling anything but. “I don’t need a babysitter Tony, I’m fine.”

"The hell you are." Tony was supporting Sky. "I did not have a tricorder with me, doc. But her pulse is thready and I think she is close to shock. I made her drink some juice and tried to calm her down."

Sky offered Rutherford an embarrassed look. Tony was right she was feeling ready to run and hide, but she had a baby to think of.

"I had a feeling that might be the case and Sky is not in shock yet but teetering upon it." Milton had his tricorder probe out as though expecting the two and ready. "Some melatonin and a good saline mix to balance out the brain synapses would be a good start." He checked his tricorder. "As I suspected , my Grandmother gift is still good. I see a spike in her alpha wave activities and thus the biochemical balance is causing abnormal iron in her blood to cling to pain receptors for a good headache." He ran the probbe aound Sky's midsection. "And the fetus could use the mother to calm a bit and have such a swirling of the Womb and make a bouncy waterbed effect for Junior." Milton smiled and winked. "Get her to the Biobed so we can elevate her feet a few degrees. " He finished as he went to help Tony put Sky of the medical bed.

"Yes sir!" Tony said. Here in sickbay she would take his orders gladly. "You will be ok very soon." She said to Sky as she helped her friend to a bed. "But you need to rest and leave the worrying all to me."

Hopping up onto the biobed Sky lay down trying to relax. After what she’d seen in Soran’s dreamscape she was pretty wound up, like a coiled spring ready to go off. Though she was putting on a brave face, she was feeling anything but.

Tony squeezed her hand. And then motioned Pix over as she knew her small friend had the abilities to calm someone down. "It will be ok." Tony whispered.

Sky nodded, grateful to have good friends that she could rely on to be there for her. “The baby is okay right?” She looked towards Rutherford worriedly.


"The baby appears fine." Milton replied as he scanned Sky. "The mixed Alpha Wave readings; which I knew you might ask first, show heightened on both signals. The baby not really that much of a spike but noted." He assured. "You Alpha Waves are definitely affecting the body; as they say the Mind controls the body, and your mind is putting out massive waves and the body is taking he instructions and increasing your heartrate, adrenaline and other physical reaction.

Pix all but Crash Landed' on the pillow due to her concern; eyes wide and hurting in her shoulder as though injured. Milton noting Pix rubbing her shoulder as she knelt and touched Sky; doing her best to take on the Empathic strain upon herself and help Sky get some relief...

"Can I help in any way." Tony said softly as she saw that Pix had hurt herself as well. "You need to concentrate on Sky and the baby, can I do anything to help Pix?"

Pix tended to be very much concentrated when she felt strong emotions; her empathic nature would make a Betazoid Blush; it was through these 'inherited traits that she understands the universe. Her understanding of 'intent' of what people said and felt was more accurate than most spoken language. Yet such power is double-edged; she feels and 'witnesses more from her 'Bonded One, but also from friends. Pain ; not from Sky directly hurt Pix's shoulder, she had flash images over-lapping with full sensation of the one experiencing. The Tendrils of the Baby's loosely joined 'feelings also added to Pix's Alpha wave typhoon.

With great concentration Pix took upon herself a lot of the foreign emotional strain; Sky’s Baby needed a filter and Pix did that while trying to dissipate the severity of the emotions from her little body into the universe away from the Ship and Sky; expending her own mental reserves to give some degree of relief; as much as her body could take... lessening the mental pain from physically harming Sky or the baby... Just before The Doctor cringed when a powerful wave hit Little Pix...

Sky looked towards Rutherford. “Rutherford are you okay?” She motioned to Tony to check on Rutherford.

"Doctor?" Tony walked towards him. "Anything I can do for you or Pix. Remember I am medically trained." She kept a close eye on them both.

"It.. happens..." Milton tried to get his headache under better control. "Whatever she is feeling sure hurts like hell at the moment." "Get the Piisoline dirivitive that lessens the Alpha Waves intensity, Two injections, me and Sky...Pix too small."

By calming the flow; some might call it a minor bit of hindering, it would allow both Milton and Sky to have less Activity ; turn down the images and such for Sky to a level her mind and Body might better control and thus put less strain upon Pix as well.

"Got it." Tony said quickly and got the solution ready and injected Sky and Milton with it. "You should feel the effect almost immediately." She said to Sky. "Doc why don't you lay down for a minute. Pix does not need to worry about you as well. I can keep an eye on the readings."

"Milton gave a strained chuckle. "At least you did not say 'Doctor heal thy self." Moving towards the closest biobed he had a lot of naps and experiance with biobeds and he naturally slipped onto it and would recallmuch as he fell asleep.

Sky breathed a sigh of relief as the images in her mind starting fading into the background. She relaxed and closed her eyes grateful for the calming effect.

Tony exhaled when she saw the drug take effect. Thank heavens.

Pix was exhausted; her left wing slightly out of sync as she slowly took flight. Rising away from Sky, eyelids of Pix at half mast she looked more the Zombie person of herself . Her course was towards Milton; slowly hovering along Pix would lose a bit of altitude the over compensate and rise higher only to lose the gained height during her slow progress, she had to get to Milton's pillow, he was the only person that could allow her to recharge, the only 'One' who gave her both purpose and a sense of true belonging.

For a split second her wings stopped and she plummet half a meter before her wings 'kicked in again to keep her aloft. straining to lift her little body up and hoped to get level with the pillow before her flight gave totally out...

Sky opened her eyes to see Pix struggling, she wanted to help but without causing Pix any more distress. “Tony...help Pix.”

"On it." She raced over and very gently cradled Pix in her arms. "I got you honey. And I am going to place you with the doc. You have done all you could to help today and you have done great." Very gently she placed Pix next to Milton on the bed making sure she was touching him in case that was what would help her. "Sleep now."

Sky smiled. “Thank you, all of you.” She stifled a yawn before closing her own eyes to get some sleep.

Pix smiled as she had her 'connection and faded into slumber,
