>"Please...." he waited until the Doctor left-then he put his hand on >K'Tael's hand, "K'Tael-it's David. Wilson and I are ok, but we need you. >I've been put in charge of your investigation...but I don't have all your >information. We need you to heal. Can you hear me? Can you respond?"
>The sound of K'Tael's heartbeat could be heard coming from the medical equipment. It was steady and regular. It quickened slightly at >the sound of Boulay's voice, but the Klingon remained unmoving.
David began to shake-the stress of the crash was catching up to him. He pushed the shaking down with a slow breath and nodded his head "I'm not in charge...I don't know what I'm doing...don't leave us K'Tael. You're not only a colleague-you're a friend. We need you. Come on K'Tael-wake up. Come back to us."
