"Goddamnit I had no idea we had so many PADDs on how to run the medical
department," Jeff muttered to himself as he picked up the last stack of
PADDs that he wanted to read through and proceeded to start reading through
them.  There really wasn't any reason to be that interested in every single
medical protocol PADD available, but at the same time there wasn't any
reason not to be interested in them either.

 

"Got a moment?" Jeff looked up and nodded over at his assistant, idly
skimming the PADDs as he listened to what the other man had to say.

 

"We've got both teams in place," Roke answered.  "They're all suited up and
ready to go if anything should happen either on the surface of ANDARA or
here on the station."

 

"Sounds good," Jeff said with a nod of approval.  He skimmed the next PADD
before raising an eyebrow in interest.  "I don't remember reading this PADD
in a very long time?"

 

"What's it say?" Roke asked, taking a seat in the chair across from Jeff's
desk.

 

"Well, the title of the PADD is 'relating to the continuity of medical
practises on a Starfleet ship or institution in the event of a catastrophic
emergency,'" Jeff read, before looking back up at Roke.  "I would imagine a
disappearing wormhole would qualify as a catastrophic emergency."

 

"Sure," Roke agreed, nodding his head.  "So, what's it say?"

 

"Not much," Jeff said, reading down the PADD.  "Just that Starfleet Medical
personnel should liaise with other non-Starfleet medical personnel that are
nearby in order to pool resources and form as safe a support network as
possible."

 

"There's a whole section on finding different ways to transform areas of a
starship into makeshift medical areas," Jeff added with a roll of his eyes.
"Basically, it says we're on our own to come up with a strategy."

 

"Great," Roke answered with a chuckle and a shake of the head.  "We
literally have no help from home."

 

"Wouldn't be the first time," Jeff muttered to himself.  "Listen, this
meeting's going to be in like 30 minutes; can I count on you to monitor both
of the teams until I get back?"

 

"Sure thing sir," Roke said, rising to his feet.  "Do you want me to contact
you if something happens up here?"

 

"If it's something on the planet, don't bother; just dispatch the team,"
Jeff advised.  He smiled grimly.  "If it's something on the station, I'm
sure I'll feel it before you get a chance to report it to me."

 

Roke nodded.  "Yeah, that's true enough," he admitted.

Time Index: 30 minutes later

Scene: Conference Room

 

Jeff had managed to procure the services of one of the conference rooms on
the station and as he walked in he found that he was actually one of the
last ones to arrive.  This didn't sit well with him, as he was hoping to be
there a little early.  Evidently, everyone else had had the same idea and
that had sunk Jeff's plan from the start.

 

"Thank you all for coming," Jeff said, progressing to the head of the table.
He was the one that had requested the conference and therefore he felt
obligated to be the lead.  "Here's the situation on this station as it
stands for the moment."

NRPG: Just edging the medical sub plot forward a little bit.  I'm muchly
