"Yes, JaC, I do know.  And she *can't* go to the authorities or they kill 
her daughter...  Let me put these aside, and I'll tell you about it."

"What!" Jac seems shocked by that statement.

Jac steps back and looks down the corridor toward Lessa, "The 
authorities wouldn't kill her daughter, what *are* you talking about?"

"Some places I've been, but not here." then he follows Woof toward the 
Galley with a disturbed expression on his face, "This *isn't* Muan Gwi, 
where they punish the entire family for the crime of one member, you know."

"No, not the authorities, Jac."  He pauses, "It's been a setup, and her 
daughter has been kidnapped.  I saw the recording...  It's... it's..." He 
shakes his head.

"Let me go be with her...  Once she's settling down, I'll get her some 
food."

He catches up to Mira and Lessa, and helps Mira get her to sickbay.  "Yes, 
I'll make some soup..." he says to Mira's suggestion.

"Lessa," he says, getting her attention, "I'll be in the galley.  Mira's 
going to look at your hands and help you.  I'll be back in a minute or two, 
OK?"

Woof

OOC: What we'll do is have Woof help get her to sickbay while Jac puts 
her bag in Woof's room. Then Jac joins them in sickbay where...

"Ok." Lessa says.

It appears she is just going with the flow as Mira's bedside manner 
takes hold.

Woof goes to the galley to fix the food...

OOC: Ricardo, Zeek, Ukanav, and Cory are in their cabins 
sleeping...unless one or more of them wake up with all the commotion 
going on and come out to see what is the matter.  Woof is in the galley 
making soup and hot tea.  Mira, Jac, and Lessa are in Sickbay.

When Mira starts to unwrap Lessa's right hand the woman grimaces. This 
is the first indication to Mira that she is in actual physical pain.  
The bandage is sticking a little, so Mira uses water and shears to 
remove it revealing a cut across her knuckles that is oozing blood, 
turning her hand over Mira sees her palm has a third degree burn and is 
also oozing blood.  Lessa's other hand has similar cuts and burns, but 
these are more superficial. In Mira's judgment, Lessa should be in a 
good bit of pain just from the burn on her right  hand.

Mira notices that Lessa is holding onto a briefcase with her left hand 
and doesn't seem to want to let it go, but does shift it to under her 
legs when Mira insists on looking at her left hand.

"Ok, Lessa, I'm going to give you a nice pain killler. Its going to half 
put you under, but not all the way, ok? You're still going to feel some of 
what I'm doing to clean you up, but I don't think you want to be 
unconscious right now. Just relax now."

She gives her the pain kill and starts working on the hands until she has 
the hands in the regen tank. First the right hand, if she can't do them 
both at once.

"Ok, you'll be in there for a few minutes. I'm going to be fussing around a 
bit, but I'll be right here. If you need anything, just say my name, ok? 
Mira or Doc. I'll even answer to 'hey you'."

doing.

"Okay." Lessa says, then adds with a soft sigh, "Thank you."

Woof will have the soup and tea ready at about this point.

When he appears, Mira says, "She'll be hungry for it, even more than she 
was already, once the regen has done its work. Plan on having some serious 
protein ready for her."

She adds thoughtfully, "She's being very protective of her briefcase."

"Lessa," Woof says, getting her attention, "I'm going to feed you.  At

Woof feeds her and takes care of her needs.

"I'm not deaf, you know." Lessa sighs.

"Why do doctors always talk about their patients like they aren't 
there?" she sounds slightly irritated then adds, "I'm sorry. I do

"He asked me a direct question and I answered it directly, Lessa." Mira 
says gently.

"Whoa there. Calm down. It would be better for your hands if you didn't use 
them right now. In fact, I think I have to insist. If you'd prefer a straw 
for the soup, I'm certain it can be arranged," Mira smiles alongside a 
humorous tone.

"Now, why don't we get Jac in here and you can tell us why we should risk 
our lives, our reputations and everything else that's far less important to 
help you. Aside from just knowing you convinced Woof, that is." She smiles 
fondly at her cousin.

"I'll go get him." She slips out the door in search of Jac.

Jac is outside Sickbay pacing up and down. He stops when Mira approaches.

"How is she?" he asks, then adds, "We *should* turn her in."

"We *should* hear her side," Mira says firmly, "There is always more than 
one side to every story and sometimes doing the 'right' thing is the 
'wrong' thing. Its one of life's lessons. Unfortunately, you can't always 
tell which is which. I thought we should both hear her out, maybe whoever

"And she'll be fine. She's suffering from shock and some rather nasty burns 
and some assorted cuts on her hands."

"I guess it won't hurt to wait a little longer." Jac says running his 
hand through his hair, "Let's go see what she has to say for herself."

"After you." he says to Mira as he holds the door open for her.

Inside, Woof is spooning soup to Lessa's mouth as she sits with her 
hands inside the regen unit.

She smiles a bit at the scene and wishes it wasn't under such conditions.

"Ok, we're here to listen. Please tell us the gory details."

Jac crosses his arms and says quietly, "If we aren't going to call the 
police, shouldn't we at least tell Captain O'Brien about this?"

Lessa looks at Woof. It looks like she wants him to talk for her.

"Sure." Mira moves to use the comm, trying Ricardo's stateroom first.

"'Gory details' is right, Mira.  It's nothing to make light of..." Woof 
says, gathering his thoughts.

"Mira, Jac, are you sure you want to call him?  If you don't think we 
should help her, I could leave with her, and the rest of the ship would be 
free of any connection.  If you call him, well, you know he won't turn down 
a damsel in distress..."

OOC:  I"m off to the office.  I'll post Woof's version of what happened 
then.  Nice way to shift the burden Eris.  See?  No extra work!

"An unexpected guest," Mira replies calmly, "Don't panic."

She add silently, 'yet'.

OOC: Bruce, if you're joining them in Sickbay, we'll delay Woof's 
telling of Lessa's story until Ricardo get's there.

OOC. You know, you sound *just* like my wife there...:-P

Ricardo says, "Well, I'll be right there." He throws on a pair of 
shorts and a tee shirt and heads to the Sick Bay.

Once there he sees the assembled crowd. "Hello, Lessa."  He turns and 
gives Woof a glare. "So we have some fresh caffe? I suspect this will 
take a while."

He listens to Woof's tale, then says to Lessa. "We're going to have to 
see this recording. I'm not entirely sure what we *can* do to help you, 
in fact, beyond recommending some good lawyers."

"We need to see the video," Mira agrees.

Lessa lifts her leg allowing Woof to pull the briefcase out and remove 
the laptop computer.

Jac says, "Woof you might be right about keeping the authorities out of 
this, but I really think the Captain of the ship needs to be in the 
loop, at this point."

Lessa says, "I *can't* go to the authorities. I don't know who I can 
trust there."

Jac frowns, "Trust? What do you mean by that?"

Then he holds up his hand, "No, just wait and tell us when the Captain 
gets here. No reason in making you say it more times than you have to."

"Oh!" Jac pauses, "But surely..." he trails off.

"We will talk more about this after we get her settled." he says taking 
the bag from Woof and carrying it toward his stateroom.

OOC: BTW, Lessa has the briefcase with her and isn't letting it go. She 
takes it to Sickbay with her.

In sickbay, Mira will let her use it as a pillow, under her head or legs, 
whichever, but gently coaxes that she can't help fix her hands if she 
doesn't let go of it, but reassuring her that no one would take it out of 
her sight.
