"K'vada here, go ahead lieutenant."
"Captain, we've arrived at Starbase Bellicose. Should I commence doking procedures?"
"Affirmative, Lieutenant, inform me when we are docked."
"Aye, sir."
"K'vada out"(=/\=)
(=/\=) "Tiger-Shark to Starbase Bellicose. You have control. Initiate Docking procedure." Commander Wood said from his station.
"Affirmative Tiger-Shark, welcome home." (=/\=)
The lights on the bridge turned blue, and the screens all displayed the message "AUTOMATION" The ship manouvered into position, and the umbillical cords connected to the ship.
(=/\=) "Fitzpatrick to K'vada. We've docked successfully."
"Very well, Lieutenant. Switch me to ship-wide broadcast."
"Aye, sir, you're on."

Rye left the bridge, and went to the medical bay to check up on Danny, and Amy. Inside sickbay, Buster was still working hard. He turned around and spoke.

"Do you think we should go check on him?" J'Leera asked.
"I'm not sure" Tiffini replied. "He's been through a lot and maybe he just needs some alone time but I am concerned, he went ot change 15 minutes ago, maybe one of us should go see if he is alright."
J'Leera nodded and stood up. She walked over to the room where Luke was and tapped the door gently.
"Luke. Luke are you alright?" She asked but no answer came.
J'Leera pushed open the door and saw Luke lying there on the floor, hugging the now blood soaked uniform, a small puddle of the crimson liquid and formed around Luke and J'Leera thought he had done something unthinkable. She crouched next to his unmoving form and put her warm hands onto his pale, cold neck, she felt a pulse and she saw no wounds of any description. She slwoly rolled up the leg of his trousers to discover it was Lukes wound from the previous mission that was bleeding again.
She sighed deeply. Gald nothing stupid had happened.
"J'Leera! Is he alright?!" Tiffini called.
"I think we need to get him to sickbay. His leg wound has opened and begun to bleed again." J'Leera replied.
"Tiffini Savali to transporter room 2."
=^= Transporter room here. Go ahead Ma'am. =^=
"I need a site to site transport for three to sickbay."
=^= Aye transport initiating. =^=
The room turned into a blue haze and three of them appeared in sickbay.
Buster came strolling over, a hypo in hand and lots of bandages.
"I'll see to him." Buster said. "You two get ome rest."
"If its all the same to you Buster I think I'd rather stay here for a while, just in case Luke wakes up." J'Leera said.
"Very well. Tiffini will you be staying also?" Buster said.
"I will come back later today. I think I need a nice long sleep and batrh before Im of help to anyonu." She turned to J'Leera. "If he does wake you will contact me won't you."
"Yes. Yes of course I will" J'Leera said.
With Buster working on Luke's leg and Tiffini gone J'Leera was left alone to her thoughts and her mind began to drift, eventually she feel asleep on the chair she was sitting on and didnt wake until she head movement in a room to the left of where she was. She looked to Lukes bed and saw he had got up.
She walked to the room where she had heard the noise and saw Luke standing over a bed, she moved a little closer and saw a cold look in his eyes. J'Leera looked to where he was looking and saw Amy lying on the bed, as white as a sheet, her long hair covering her eyes.
"Luke. I think we shoudl leave here." J'Leera said.
"Yes. Yes I think we shoudl." Luke said quietly. He bent down and gave Amy a small kiss on the lips and brushed the hair away from her eyes. He looked lovingly down and smiled at her.
"We have had a lot of adventures you and I. Mine are to continue, but the best adventure of all awaits you. I love you." Luke said to Amy's lifeless form then looked up and J'Leera. "Can we go now?" Luke asked.
"Yes Luke, lets go." Was all she could say.
With one last look at Amy Luke left the room and with it he left all the times he and Amy had shared. The joyoius ones, the hard ones, the unbearable ones. All now just a distant memory. Luke hadn't forgot Amy, he never would but now he had closed that chapter of his life he could move on.
"Luke are you sure your O.K?" J'Leera asked.
"I don't know J'Leera" Luke said. "I still feel empty and almost betrayed by her death, but I understand that I am still alive and that I do have a lot to live for."
"Luke, were going to get through this together, o.k? You don't have to do anything by yourself." J'Leera said smiling warmly.
"I know, I know." Was all he could say before his throat got a lump in it and he began to weep. "I love her... I love her." He said in between sobs.
"Yes you do." J'Leera said "And you always will."

Buster noticed Rye walking towards him. He sighed and turned around.
"I have done the best I can. We can transport Amy to the Bellicose Medical Bay, but I'm afraid too much time has passed. I think we have lost her."
Buster looked down a bit. He had failed in reviving Amy. It was a shame he never really got to knew her when she lived. He was sorry for that. Amy was lying there so peacefully, she almost looked alive. Rye also looked down.
"You did the best you could" Rye said.
"I... I guess I did" Buster said. "Let's transport Amy to the medical bay aboard the Bellicose then".
Buster walked to a console and pressed a button. "Prepare to transport Amy aboard the Bellicose" he said. He waited a while. "Energize"
Amy was transported out of the sickbay. An empty bed remained.
"I'd better go too" Buster said to Rye, and walked out of sickbay, noticeably upset.

Rye felt very sorry for the Doc. Buster had walked out of the room, looking very depressed, and sulking. Rye made his way to the umbillical port, and left to get on board Bellicose.

Danny had heard the news of Amy's death from a nurse and he felt really sorry for Luke. Although he didn't know Amy very well, she was still a member of the crew and as such, he felt the loss too. He had tried to contact Lieutenant Dowding over the comlink, but Luke must have turned it off, because Danny didn't get any reply.
Danny was still in bed, but his leg had much improved. It stung a little when he tried to walk on it and Buster wanted to keep Danny for observation, but otherwise he was quite fine again. His former strength had almost completely returned, as had his appetite for reading. Danny couldn't remember the last time he had been able to read as much as he had now. Reading was all he could do since he was forbidden to walk en he devoured Shakespeare's work faster than he had ever believed possible. It was great! This was the only time he could be reading on the job and get away with it. Although Danny loved his job, he missed the hours of reading he had done when he was still in school. There just wasn't time for it anymore. Now he could indulge in his old hobby to his hearts desire.
The Sickbay doors opened and two male nurses came in, pushing a floating chair in front of them. One stepped towards Danny. "Excuse me sir, but you are Lieutenant Löhnen right?" Danny smiled. The nurse was a Chief Petty Officer, and clearly he had not been in service long. He looked kind of nervous about having to ask permission to carry a senior officer towards the floating chair. "yes Chief, I'm Lieutenant Löhnen," Danny replied kindly. The nurses prepared to carry Danny, but he calmly stated that he would be able to walk the two steps to the chair. The nurses didn't object and five seconds later, Danny was comfortably in the chair, waiting to be brought to his temporary quarters on Starbase Bellicose.

OFF: That’s even more sad!
“Where would you like to go Luke?” J’Leera asked, looking at him closely wondering how he would react.
He shrugged, “I don’t know.”
She thought about it for a second and then an idea popped in her head. “I know, let’s go over to the holodeck for a while. It’ll be quiet there.”
Luke just nodded numbly and followed her out of sickbay, not really caring if he went or stayed in sickbay. Before leaving, J’Leera informed Buster where they were going and he approved saying ‘it’ll be good for him to get out for a while.’
Silently, the two walked down to the holodeck, neither saying a word to each other. Every once in a while, she would glance nervously over at Luke trying to read his reactions, but his face said nothing of what he was thinking. As they walked along, people would stop and move out of their way as soon as they saw the expression on his face. None of the understood though, but were able to see the anguish that he was in and did not interfere.
As soon as they reached the holodeck door, she activated an old program of hers. It was the Coffeehouse program that she created back on Starbase Conqueror after they had finished their training mission and awaiting their first assignments. She thought that perhaps its quiet atmosphere in the forest would be soothing for Luke as well as for herself.
Seconds later, the doors open and the fresh smell of the forest greeted them. She beckoned Luke to follow her in and together they walked up to the cabin. It was exactly as it had been before with the overstuffed sofas and the comfortable chairs that were scattered around the room. A replicator stood nearby, so J’Leera went over and replicated a hot drink for herself and one for Luke.
She tried to put herself into Luke’s shoes and try to imagine what Luke was going through, but couldn’t. She too was upset at the incident, but not like Luke was. She glanced back over at him and picked up the drinks.
Luke meanwhile, still hadn’t said anything, but instead sat on the nearest chair and didn’t move until J’Leera came over with his drink. He took it calmly, but instead of drinking it, he starred into the mug in deep thought.
While J’Leera had been replicating the drinks, she also took the time to inform the counselor where they had gone. She said that she would be down as soon as possible.
J’Leera sat down in a chair near Luke and took a sip of her drink. She glanced up at Luke, who was still sitting quietly. He noticed that she had looked over and started to say something, but stopped.
She smiled, “It’s okay. You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. It’s okay to just relax here.”
Luke nodded and his eyes moved back down towards his mug.
She inwardly sighed wishing that she knew how to help him.

After leaving sickbay Luke felt an enormous weight lift from his shoulders, he didnt know what it was but maybe he was letting go, and that thought scared him.
During the walk to the holodeck Luke remained silent, planning the memorial service in his mind and wondering when he should contact Amy's parents.
When they arrived at the holodeck Luke was happy to see it was the coffehouse program and it brought back memories from the academy, the happy times when they thought they could accomplish anything, where they thought they could face anything.
J'Leera offered Luke a drink and he ook it silently, he didnt drink any of it but instead gazed into the depths of the mug and carried on thinking.
=^= Lt. Dowding. We have message here for you from Earth. =^=
Luke ignored it.
"Luke do you wish me to tell them you are busy?" J'Leera asked.
Luke said nothing.
=^= Lt. Dowding, its your mother she wishes to speak with you. =^=
"I'll take it at the entrance to holodeck 2" Luke replied quietly.
He slowly walked to the entrance and the arch appeared. He entered in his security code and his mothers face appeared on the screen.
"Luke, how are..." His mother started but then trailed off. "What has happened Luke, and do not say nothing, I am mother I can tell."
"Amy...Amy...Amy is dead" He managed to say.
"Oh Luke, oh my poor child. How, when?"
"A few days ago, she was m..m..murdered." He stammered.
"Does Garecia know?" She asked.
"No. I have yet to contact her parents. I am planning the memorial service for tomorrow. Can you and Garecia and Paul make it bto Starbase Bellicose by then?" He said quietly.
"I do not know Luke, I imagine we can charter a shuttle."
"I will arrange for you to be picked up..." Luke started.
"Do not worry about that." His mother said "I am able to make my own way here, I am sure your father can pull some strings at work. I will see you tomorrow at..."
"1400 hours" Luke said.
"I love you Luke and I am very proud of you" His mother aid.
"Love you" Luke forced himself to say through the emotion.
Th screen went blank and Luke took a dep shuddering breath.
"Luke! Are you alright?!" J'Leera called.
He walked slowly over to the table again and sat down.
"The memorial service is tomorrow at 1400 hours." Luke said.
"Luke are you sure. That's a little soon isn't it?" J'Leera asked.
"Its needs to be done J'Leera. As soon as possible." He replied solemnly.
"But..." She began to protest, but then she saw the look in Luke's eyes and how he needed it to be over, how he craved the peace that it would bring.
"Thank you J'Leera" Luke said.
"What are friends for?" She repied and smiled gently.
He smiled, the first real smile in a while. He was healing, it was going to be a long hard struggle but with friends like J'Leera he could tackle anything.

J’Leera received the counselor’s message and went down to her officer. She had expected Tiffani to call her down and she welcomed it. So far, it seemed as if Luke felt more comfortable being around J’Leera than the counselor. This put her into a somewhat awkward position. On one hand, she was eager to help her friend, but one the other, she realized that she lacked the skills in counseling and feared that she would end up doing more harm than good. She hoped the counselor would give her some good pointers, so that she didn’t mess up. At least, not mess up too much. She took a seat in Tiffani’s office and waited for her to speak. *Tiffani took her seat across from J’Leera and gave her a warm smile* First i wanted to ask how you are doing? A good question, J’Leera thought. She sighed and folded her hands on her lap. “Well, I’m somewhat confused about this. I want to help Luke because he’s my friend, but I just don’t know what to do for him! I don’t like seeing him like this. It pains me every time I see the sadness in his eyes. You can tell that he’s thinking about Amy, especially when his attention starts drifting.” “But what about you?” she asked, stressing the you. “Me?” she thought about it for a second. “I’m horrified, saddened and angry that this would happen to person like Amy,” she paused for a second. “I…I had never seen anyone who had been killed before. I..I don’t understand what I’m feeling and I certainly can’t understand what Luke is feeling.” *she nodded* It is a hard thing for anyone to deal with but in time the pain will go away. J’Leera nodded, a lump beginning to form in her throat. “I just feel so helpless! I hate feeling this way!” *she smiled* It is hard watching ones we care about go through something like this. I can try and give you some guidance if you need anything “I would appreciate that counselor,” she nodded gratefully, wiping a few tears away. “I know that I can’t do this alone.” *she moved around some stuff on her desk as she listened to J'leera* Well she said after she stopped speaking... The main thing is that luke know he has a friend he can count on *she paused momentarily gathering her thoughts* and no matter what you mustn't question anything he wishes to do. lethim do what he feels he must but also let him know that your always their for him. “Of course,” J’Leera stood up. “I’ll do that. His parents and Amy’s parents are arriving later today. This is going to be an especially hard day for him.”

After J'Leera left for Tiffinis office Luke fell asleep n the holodeck. Not knowing how much time had passed he was disturbed by his comm badge bleeping. =^= Commander Savali to Lt. Dowding. =^= "Dowding here." Luke responded. =^= How are you feeling Mr. Dowding? =^= A very good question "I am not sure Sir." Was all he managed to say. =^= Well Lt. I have some good news for you. Obviously this does nothing comparing to your loss however it is something you should be proud of. You have been promoted to Leuitenant. Congratultions Luke. =^= "T..T..hankyou Sir." It felt inadequate but he didnt feel in any way to celebrate right now. =^= Oh and Lt. =^= "Yes Sir." =^= Good job on the mirror ship, and I hope you will feel better soon. =^= "Thankyou Sir. Dowding out." Luke replied. He felt sorry for being harsh however he was not in the mood for a casual chat, not just because it was his superior officer but he did not feel like 'chatting' with anyone.
