I sat beside Nicky’s bed. It had been two weeks since our accidental entry into the Beta Quadrant. Nicky had greatly improved since her accident in the science lab, and was well on her way to recovering. According to Dr. Layn, it would be safe to wake her in the next 26 hours. My head shot up as I heard the distinct sound of a heart rate monitor flatlining. My eyes flicked to Nicky’s monitor; it was still registering a steady pulse. It was then that I realized it was Tabora’s monitor that had registered a heart failure. I scrambled to my feet and shouted, “Dr. Layn! Come quickly!” “70%!”
