"The Death and Resurrection of Lt Syd Morgan-Idrys" written by: Lt Syd Morgan, Cmdr Idrys, & Lt Mirrie Dunton The Meridian had just been hit by the tachyon wave and the force had caused the crew on the bridge to go flying in different directions especially when they had no control of what hit them. Syd went flying over the tactical console and hit her head on the deck and knocked herself out with a severe head injury and a laceration on her head that bled profusely. Soon everything was dark. Dark Quiet Alone Was she dreaming? Giya was searching through the darkness and found her ... she seemed more dead than alive. No ... no ... Imzadi, wake up, wake up! but she was still ... still as death ... she couldn't be dead, no, no ... She thought she heard something but what was it? Wake up! Syd it's me! Imzadi! She had to be imagining it, it wasn't real it couldn't be. What or who is an Imzadi? He was afraid for the worst but he had to try. He managed to pick her up and stagger over towards the 'lift hoping to get down to Sickbay when an emergency Med team arrived on the Bridge. Somehow he was guided back to his own chair and he felt hands working on his own injuries. Someone was assuring him that Syd was also being treated. She began to dream or she thought she was. Her soul left her body and was watching everything that this "man" was doing with her body. Who was this man who kept calling her ~~Imzadi and what was an ~~Imzadi~~? She just kept watch as people moved furiously around her, what were they doing? Why were they doing it?" ~~Imzadi, it's me, Giya. You must live. Live for the both of us! ~~ It was there again, that voice in her head. Only this time it had a name, something like Giya. She didn't recall ever hearing it before yet who ever it belonged to was adamant that she knew him. ~~Who is Giya~~ ~~I am ... Syd, it's me, your lover. Think ... think ...~~ This was getting to strange even for her, so her soul returned to her body, if only for a while and when it did, it caused her body to twitch for just a moment. ~~Imzadi, Giya, Lover, this makes no sense. Who are you and why are you in my head? ~~ ~~I am yours and you are mine. Our souls have bonded. ~~ ~~this is making me tired, you must go now whoever you are~~ Meanwhile, The sounds on the monitor started to slow down for a moment or two as she started to relax. ~~No, I am not leaving and neither are you. You must live. ~~ Her breathing started to slow down as did her heart rate and her skin started to get cool and clammy. ~~Must you yell so loud, can't you see I am trying to sleep now ~~ ~~I'm not "yelling." You mustn't "sleep" either. If you do, you will die. Hang in there, Imzadi. Stay with me. ~~ ~~Must sleep, in order to heal, must rest, very important~~ ~~I am with you, but you must promise me something ~~ ~~Yes, Imzadi, anything. What? ~~ ~~You must promise to move on without me when I am gone, you must not be alone, it is not good for you~~ ~~I ... will, if I must ... but please do not leave. You are all I have. ~~ ~~You will always have me. I am so tired, tell the dr. it is time, remember I will always love you~~ ~~so tired~~ ~~Don't leave! ~~ ::Goes into a convulsion:: Dr. Dunton frowns as she Syd go into a convulsion notices Syd's levels fluctuate and braces Syd for the convulsion. ~~I love you Giya~~ I have to get her that treatment now if we want to save her.:tries to prepare the hypo with the other hand while she keeps Syd from flailing off the biobed:: ~~I love you too Syd~~ ~~always remember~~ ~~so tired~~ ~~so dark~~ Mr. Idrys, please help me hold her down while I administer this treatment! ~~quiet~~ ~~alone~~ Dr. Dunton gives her the hypo of the treatment to relieve the pressure on the brain. Yes, Doctor :: does so:: ::waits:: ~~Syd, don't go~~ ::nothing:: ~~Imzadi ... please ...~~ Her levels are faint, but stable for the moment...::starts to turn to leave... and hears the too familiar sound of the heart monitor flatlining:: ~~good bye Imzadi~~ Cortical Stimulator ! :: barks at a Medical Technician:: ~~No! No! You must stay, you must live~~ ::Gets the Cortical Stimulator and gives the first injection:: Come on Syd, hang in there! ::Feels the injection (slightly):: ::Frowns as she doesn't get the expected results:: Okay, we need to up the dosage and try again! Syd, please fight it! ::Begins to try and fight but no energy so tires quickly:: ::Administers the second treatment and again, holds breath to see the results:: ::Heart rate rises as does breathing but doesn't wake up:: ~~Imzadi?~~ Well, she's stable again, but her vitals are very weak. We will have to monitor her very closely for the next few hours to see if her condition improves ~~Yes ... I'm here ... don't go ...~ ::nods weakly:: ~~So Tired~~ ~~Don't ... don't go ...~~ ~~Need help~~ ::Leans over and kisses her:: ~~Imzadi is that You? ~~ ::Heart rate races:: ~~Yes, who else~~ ::Says a few words in French under her breath and moves to treat some newly arriving patients to the Cargo Bay:: ~~Where is the Doctor~~ :: opens eyes:: ~~She's here~~ ::Looks around::Doctor? Syd ... Imzadi ... you're back. ::tries to get up:: ::Squeezes her hand:: : Stops in her tracks:: Syd, please don't try to move right now. You're very weak. ::Holds her:: Careful now ... ::Backtracks to the bed where Syd was lying:: Doctor, Thank you for you help. ::Helps her lie back:: You are very well qualified and I owe you my life. ::Shakes head:: I did very little. You did all the fighting Yet without your wonder drugs I could not fight. But thank you for your kind words. You will be my bridesmaid I will take nothing but yes for an answer. Bridesmaid? A wedding? Mr. Idrys? :: looks completely shocked and surprised:: Of course, it is a great honour. ::nods:: ::Smiles:: If you will excuse me, I must see to more patients, but we will speak in the near future. You do me the honor, but now I must rest. Again I thank you. Yes, we will I am sure. Oh Giya I can't wait to become your wife. Nor can I. Syd. It can't happen soon enough. Now you must rest. With that said the two lovers kissed gently and Syd drifted off to sleep with Giya holding her hands and imagining a life with her.
