<USS Avalon> waking to darkness

Mac groaned softly as he opened his eyes and stared unseeing into the blackness 
around him. Where was he? He was no longer lying on a deck, as he had been last 
he remembered. The surface he was on now was softer. A bed? He heard the soft 
blips above his head and realized it had to be a biobed. Sickbay? But then why 
would it be so dark? He didn't know what was going on, but he was sure it 
probably wasn't good. Still, they weren't on Deck thirteen anymore.  Did that 
mean the quarantine had been lifted? Had they found the cure? Suddenly he 
remembered. Sitting upright, he called out, "Josh?!" 
 
No answer. Had his friend survived? Had they found the cure in time? And what 
about the others that had been on the deck? Were they alright? He had to know. 
Carefully, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and felt gingerly for the 
deck beneath his feet. Slowly standing, he reached out into the darkness and 
moved carefully, trying not to run into anything. "Josh?...Vilya?..." He tried 
again. Had anyone else survived?
