After her tour on the Zion together with Dr Northrop, Teilani headed back to sickbay. She needed to see how her patient Ensign Forrester was doing.
As she entered sickbay she noticed that one of the alarms was bleeping. She rushed over grabbing a hypospray and her tricorder on the way. As she reached the biobed on which Forrester lie, and ran the tricorder over Forresters body she noticed that the Ensign was gaining consciousness. Teilani took a damp cloth and brushed the ensigns face.
"Ensign, Teilani said, there was no response. Ensign, open your eyes", Teilani said a little louder.
Screaming and sobbing she sat up in a panic and began to try and get away.
"No, no stay down, your alright. You are on the Zion, Teilani said softly. Is there anything I can get you?"
"Z-Zion? H-How?" she laid back down on the biobed in exhaustion. "W-What happened?"
"Well our lounge manager Miranda and a friend of her from the Atlanta happened to recognize a certain Ferengi. They got into a fight and at the same time they discovered you. They managed to incapacitate your abductors and brought you back here."
Forrester closed her eyes, "It was horrible."
"Can you tell me what happened to you, before you were brought to the station?", Teilani asked, while adjusting some of the readings.
Then she felt a cold shiver run across her spine. She turned around, looking back, there was nothing there. It seemed that the temperature had dropped a few degrees. Another point for the engineering department.
"Computer, raise room temperature by 5 degrees. My apologies ensign, we have some technical difficulties of late. Please continue."
"I'd rather not talk about it yet." said Forrester. "Do they have them in custody?"
"Station security is looking for them, they will let us know once they have them", Teilani responded.
"W-What day is it?"
"It is Monday stardate 58204.18", Teilani replied.
"Those ten days seemed like a month, I was violated around the clock and beaten."
Teilani smiled as she put her arms around the ensign. "Your safe now, she said with a reassuring voice.
"I-I don't want to talk any more, I-I'm sorry." she said.
"That's o.k. Teilani said, I will give you something to sleep. Lie back down, nobody will harm you here I will make sure of it". Teilani reached for a hypospray with sedation and pressed it to Ensign Forresters neck.
Forrester sighed as the effect took over, she closed her eyes and drifted off.
"computer lights at 1/3". The lights in around the biobeds lowered and Teilani walked back to her office.She would not leave, even if she had to pull a double shift again, until she was sure that the Ensign was fit to leave.
As she said down at her desk she decided to sent a small memo to the Captain and to engineering.
"Computer record the following memo"
To: Captain Hunter From: Dr Teilani Dane
Re: Ensign K. Forrester
Sir,
Please be advised that ensign Forrester has regained consciousness. However, she is not ready to be questioned about her whereabouts. Once fully recovered I will let you as well as security know about it.
"computer save memo and sent it to captain Hunter."
"Memo saved and sent, the computer responded.
Computer record new message:
To : Guiseppe Silvio - Chief engineering From: Teilani Dane Chief medical

Several times the commands do not seem to kick in. Chief I need my coffee!!
Teilani Dane out.
Computer save memo and sent
"Memo saved and sent," came the reply.
Now there was nothing more to do than just wait. Teilani sat back in her chair, her eyes resting upon the sunflower painting.
