[Lt. Paawin Riyo - USS Mac - Sick bay
Hearing a different voice on the other side of the curtain, Paawin was about to get sharp when he heard the man saying he had been sent by Commander Eastman. That was understandable... And he'd allow it. So for the moment he resumed prepping his own patient, successfully removing the clothing that covered the burns and disinfecting the incision sites, when he heard yet another voice directly behind him - informing him that his patient needed surgery. "Thank you for your keen observation!" he snapped, glaring over his shoulder to find the Vulcan Ensign awaiting orders. Ah... The help he requested. With a sigh and apologetic nod, he straightened and turned to face Neme directly.
"You're in charge of Sickbay, Ensign. Take over the Lieutenant's treatment, and don't let anyone enter this room unless they're a patient, Commander Eastman, or sent directly by her for a specific purpose. Call for more help or activate the EMH if you can't handle something on your own." Normally he'd be a lot more gentle with assigning tasks that might be beyond an officer's realm of experience, but right now his focus needed to be on saving the Commodore's life.
"Tania, grab some saline and start a central line. We need to bring his temperature down before the damage gets any worse. Then get to work treating his burns as best you can. I need to drain the subdurel hematoma to relieve pressure on his brain before I open him up." It had been a rather long time since he had treated injuries this severe... Paawin could only hope what knowledge and experience he had would work.
Without waiting for a response from either, he moved to the Commodore's head. "Computer, dim main lights and increase the headlamp of biobed one to 200 lumens." He needed to focus, entirely, and the best way for him to do that was to go back to his roots. The room around the curtain darkened, the light above his patient brightened, and for a moment he was 18 again - covered in dirt and the blood of his people, fighting just as hard to save them, as they had fought to free him. Pulling the tray of instruments closer, he began.

I just loved the reaction to Neme before the serious side of the moment took over and the surgery began.

[Matthew Harmon - Intelligence Office]
Harmon wasn't at all in the mood to indulge Avi's recalcitrance. "I don't have time for your bullshit, Moz. It is your problem because the Nyberrite Alliance is a mercenary corporation with a state, and as such they will attempt to leverage diplomatic protocol to have you extradited back to them on whatever charges they see fit to try and nail you on. The Commander is none to pleased about having to pull you out, it has complicated what she is trying to do and so if you don't watch yourself she may very well see fit to oblige their requests at which point I won't have the means or desire to get you out of there for a second time," his tone was certainly absent of his usual stoicism. As he finished his tirade, his PADD made a notification noise as he received a message from the Commander. "I've just received a message from the Commander confirming as such. Vasser has requested your extradition, and is being uncooperative until her request is granted. So if you have nothing of use to me then so be it, Crewman Dak will escort you back to the Transporter Room and you will be given into the hands of Major Chromar." He wasn't exactly lying but he was certainly stretching the truth.
