After: Feeling Froggy..no kidding Roch knelt next to Des and felt for a pulse. she had one but it was weak. He lowered his head to press against her heart to make sure. He felt it beating. He heard it. He felt her ankles, her knees, her head, her shoulders for broken bones. Her spinal cord. Someone had smashed his tricorder and he wasn't very pleased. When he was satisfied that she could be moved, he picked up her head and rested it on his knees. He then placed his the heel of his palms between her breasts and pumped her chest. He did that a few times and then Des began to cough. He raised her up, "Did we win?" Des asked. "Well it's good to see you too," Roch gave her a smile. Des only gasped for air and grinned at him. She then looked around. "where are the others?" "Don't panick," Roch told her while helping her to her feet, "They went to secure the Tomago." Des tried to do a little jump for joy but she almost fell. she gripped his shoulder to steady herself. "Can you walk?" Roch asked her. "I-I think so," Des told him. She tried to take a few steps but couldn't. Roch bent at the waiste and picked her up into his arms, "We got to go." Lt.
