"Structural Integrity Failure in ninety seconds" The computer

"WHAT?!" Barked Talia as she turned on the spot her eyes darting over the MSD seeing the red of extreme stress on the ship "Oh hell no" She groaned

"Thatdon't look good" Alex stated looking over Talias shoulder

"Oh what was your first clue?!" Snapped Talia angrily not needing his input right now though if she had a second she should have realised he was light-years away with his own problems "Oh great now the Chief Engineer's hallucinating that's going to help" She sighed as she began a scan to try and find somewhere to pinch power from and enforce the structural integrity

"Structural Integrity Failure in seventy seconds" The computer chimed

"Oh be quiet" She snapped looking to the systems that were repeatedly blinking in response to been torn apart by the vortex they had been pulled into

"Take power from the life support systems Talia" Alex stated over her shoulder

"And be responsible for killing everyone? Alex no offence but I'm actually trying to prevent that" She sighed then looked back to him "Why are you here?"

"Cargo bays, shuttle bays, anywhere there are no people, you need around 10 to 15 per cent more power than you have you can afford to loose life support in those areas fo ten minutes" Alex added calmly

"Not helping Alex!" She spun on him and he retracted as if he had actually been there

"Sir?" Wynters stated from beside her

"Not you him" She sighed jerking her head at Alex

"There's no one there Sir" Wynters replied looking to her a look of confusion in his eyes now as he waited for his Chief Engineer to collect her head and save them from their imminent death

"Take power from life support, cargo bays shuttle bays even the fighter deck if needed assuming there are no people in those areas if there is them get them clear now" Talia stated her eyes darting to the console once more in thought "And don't mention me ... talking to my ... self" She added

"Ma'am, I'm inclined to notify the Doctor" He replied as he carried out his orders

"Yes I know, but ... we're under a lot of stress right now and ...." She sighed looking back to the console "Never mind"

"Your not nuts Talia, you just needed help I'm the one person you needed in that moment a little dis-logic to an illogical situation" Alex smiled

"Structural Integrity is now with acceptable parameters" The computer chimed

"Not nuts.... yet ... I'm hearing voices" She replied quietly

"Solutions Talia not voices" Alex shrugged in reply

Shut up!" She snapped back angrily

"I didn't say anything sir" Wynters stated

"Not you .... Ale.... oh for goodness sake" Talia huffed and stormed across Engineering to her office "Coffee strong black sugar" She growled at the replicator
