[Klingon freighter vaQ - corridor to the Bridge] (earlier)Despite Jael's volunteered assistance, Rayek was conscious enough to deny her request and had her take point. Other than himself she had the only other disruptor - the only weapon capable of dealing with the creatures roaming the ship. There were others less vital that could assist his walking - Saqa7, Dr. Broadshire or Sorik even.
"I've got him." Saqa7 assured the Cardassian.
Torra took the opportunity on the way to the Bridge to comment quietly on Jael's idea. "I think the combat medic idea sounds reasonable. As you know most security have the basic First Aid training but to have someone licenced to administer medications and use some of the more specialized tools would be so helpful in situations exactly like this. I think when we are back on Discovery you should bring it up to the Captain."

"I am a Subcommander, not a Commander." Rayek corrected the pilot's use of Federation rank when addressing him, "I would advise you learn the Romulan ranking system quickly. If you make that mistake in front of the Commander, you may find yourself in the brig."
Rayek then acknowledged when the pilot confirmed that the station appeared in good working order. "Excellent. Now all we needed is power and the impulse engines in working order."
Torra reported that the Ops console was questionable. "There's a cracked screen. I don't know if the touch controls will work properly. Once we have power, I'll know for certain"
Saqa7 was dismayed to find there was no dedicated 'Science' console but she'd moved to a vacant console and checked it over. "This one also is cracked - center screen. Do you think they have spare screens or the ability to replicate them." She asked.
Rayek was doubtful. "At the moment, the only console we absolutely need is the helm as long as that is working we can leave the repair of the rest - this isn't our ship and it's possible its crew will never need it again." Harsh words to say but all too true.

[Klingon freighter vaQ - Bridge]The layout of the Klingon freighter's bridge - in that it matched the layout of any Imperial fleet vessel - spoke volumes. The ship could be conscripted to join the Imperial fleet and serve the Klingon Empire at any time - all that would be needed was the addition of updated disruptors on the ship.
Seated in the Command chair, with his injured hand laid out on the armrest for ease of access for the doctor, Rayek held the portable light in his other, aimed to give Dr. Broadshire light by which to work by.
"What's taking so long with that power? he grumbled under his breath. If they were without for too much longer, the cold of space would seep into the ship and they might be forced to call for a beam out back to the Valdore without fully accomplishing their mission - that notion didn't appeal to Rayek.
As the doctor finished with his hand, Rayek tested the strength of suture by forming his hand into a fist and then splaying it. It hurt - even with the analgesic - but the sutures held. Rayek nodded in approval.
He'd have another scar, and another lesson learned. Another story to tell Tess and Fvienn when he recorded his journal later.
"Thank you, Doctor. Were you able to save either of the... Klingon-creatures?" he asked.
Rayek had a recollection of Dem working to save the one Klingon-Targ on the floor before the other attacked. But what happened afterwards was a jumble because of his getting stunned by Torra's phaser shot. Had they left the Klingon-creatures unsecured?
It was Torra who answered. "The one that the doctor was working on didn't make it... but the one which attacked was still alive. Stunned and bound when we left."
Rayek looked over the bridge once more, considering. "Now that we have secured the Bridge... and are only waiting on getting the engines running again. I think it would be good to collect information about these creatures. Dr. Broadshire, I'd like for you to autopsy the dead one. Jael and Torra will go with - to keep you safe."

Jael nodded, enthusiastic that somebody supported her idea. She appreciated Torra's words, that she liked the idea; Jael definitely had a mind to bring it up to Captain Tekin when she saw him next.
She could understand Rayek shaking her off, and nodded in appreciation at Saqa taking over for her. Throughout, as she stood guard, she listened all while she kept a lookout. She turned when she saw the order from Rayek to accompany Doctor Broadshire, along with Torra. She was greatly more assured Torra would be with her; she wasn't just a good consoling friend (she can see why Nira spoke highly of her, why she and Nira were practically sisters) - the horns could be quite intimidating.
"Aye, subcommander," Jael replied.
