I won't be able to set up the fields Sickbay....I'll have to do that directly from Engineering.....but I'll at least get you there.  I'll call in once I have the fields ready to go to let you know where it will be."<br/><br/>Spotting a comm panel on the wall, Wade stepped over and activated it.  "Wade to Quartermaster; please have 6 EVA suits taken out of storage and sent to Sickbay immediately.  Also make certain you bring a pair of Recharging Units."<br/><br/>Once the call was acknowledged, Wade looked at the prima donna Doctor and her band of tortured souls then headed down the hallway.<em>Best to get this out of the way.</em>It took only a few more minutes to walk the length of G Deck.  When the doors parted allowing them into Sickbay, Wade stepped inside and took a look around.  On a ship as large as the Phoenix, Sickbay was necessarily large.  Caitlin took in the complex and came up with a decision:  "Ok Doctor....I will erect the containment field to encompass this half of sickbay along with both the BioChemistry and Pathology Labs.  That will be your workspace for the duration...so I suggest you get your equipment set up in that area or else you won't have access to it."<br/><br/>She was about to talk about the EVA suits....when several of the Enlisted Crew came through the door toting the suits and the recharging units.  "If you've never worn a Starfleet Standard Extra Vehicular Activity Suit...you're in for some fun.  The crewmen here will get you situated in that regard....how to put the suits on...how all of the various functions work.....how to recharge them.  Above all else, DO NOT break the seals on your suits while you are inside the field.  These suits are fairly bulky....but do allow for a complete range of motion without reducing dexterity too much.  Just as you would in Level 4 Biosafety lab....all of your movements will want to be very deliberate and slow.  Once your work is complete, I will be able to sterilize the interior of the field in order to release you....but I'm sure you'd prefer I didn't kill anything you have to work on.  After all...that's your job."  The Chief Engineer continued speaking as she made for the door, "As I said...the crewmen will take good care of you.  As soon as we drop out of Warp in orbit of the planet I'll be able to erect the containment field so you can begin your work.  I will make sure you I let you know before I do.  Till then....I need to get down to Engineering and get things underway."<br/><br/>With her final word, the doors to Sickbay shut in front of her....denying Nuress any chance at keeping her there any longer.<br/><br/>Two of the crewmen who brought the equipment looked at each other for a moment....then started unpacking the suits.  A third began getting the Recharging Units setup.<br/><br/>"Ok Doctors....I'm Chief Petty Officer Eric Micheals.  Who's worn one of these before?" he asked, holding up the chest portion of suit. "It's not too bad.....but it will take some getting used to."<br/><br/>------------------<br/><br/>Wade strode into Engineering again, a woman on a mission.  "Everyone.....front and center! Briefing time!"  Her voice rang off all of the hard surfaces in the Engineering spaces. From many years in such places she knew her voice would carry to every part of it to one degree or another.  After a few minutes, everyone on Alpha Shift was standing in front of her near the Warp Core.  "Ok people....this is the deal.  Stafleet has sent the Phoenix to shuttle an urgently needed medical team to the planet Obi VI.  Apparently there are a lot of very sick people there.  The lead Doctor has asked that we provide her with a bio-containment field inside Sickbay.  This is a really bad bug....so we're going to be pumping a LOT of power into that field.  Absolutely nothing in....Absolutely nothing out.  Once we drop out of Warp and enter orbit....we'll be tapping the Warp Core to power the field.   So this is what I need:  Lieutenant Jennings....pick five engineers.  Your team will get up to Sickbay and make sure the Field Emitters around the BioChemistry and Pathology Labs will be able to handle the increased power output.  Right now I'm thinking somewhere in the range of ten to twelve Terrawatts.  We'll actually be generating multiple fields.  The primary field will hold the most power....then another barrier field about a half a meter inside to keep the Doctors from walking into the primary field and breaching suit or losing a body part.   Lieutenant April.....your assignment is power feed.  The EPS conduits leading into Sickbay can already handle a lot of power....but we need to make sure every centimeter between here and there can hack it.  That means multiple, redundant load paths.  I want each one to be able to handle the entire feed by itself....but divide the power between them for normal operation.  Once they crack the seal on this bug....we cannot have any sort of power failure even though Sickbay itself will be sealed as well under quarantine conditions.  The rest of you.....we'll be here getting ready to divert power from the Core.  We've got a few hours here.....so let's get a move on and make sure everyone remembers why they call US the miracle workers."<br/><br/>As soon as she stopped speaking  Jennings and April grabbed their teams and their tools and took off....the rest of her department mobilizing to get their various jobs done in support of the power diversion.  They were all excellent Engineers....and didn't need her to tell them each and every step.  As soon as the ship hit orbit...they would be ready to go.  There wasn't a doubt in her mind.
