Mission: The Trafalgar Roll
Location: Sickbay, Deck 7
Timeline: After 'Pinpoint'

During Miyahara's time incapacitated, he experienced several very surreal dreams; almost vision-like in their quality: In the first one, he was shaking hands with Romulans.

"Thank you, Admiral; you'll be a major help to the Star Empire in this case:"

The next scene was that of a short blonde woman insulting him in a brig not unlike the Victory's own.

" You Admiral whatever your name is, are an areshole"

A brief glimpse of him giving a speech to what had to have been millions of people waving all sorts of flags passed before his eyes before the next scene was of him watching scenes of devastation on a viewscreen: Starfleet was engaged in a war with some faction Miyahara could not easily identify.

Someone handed him a PADD with the latest battle reports on it; however, those battle reports weren't recording Starfleet's losses; Miyahara seemed to be involved with this faction that Starfleet was warring with, and from the looks of things, Starfleet had them on the backfoot.

During the visions of the war, Miyahara heard a booming Romulan voice giving a speech:

"And the Armitage Rebellion has been foiled..."

In the final scene, Miyahara was lying mortally wounded on a pile of debris; a young brunette woman wearing a red Starfleet uniform towered triumphantly over him, preparing to execute him. Though he could make out the five rank pips gleaming on her collar, he couldn't make out her face:

"I see what this was all about!" Miyahara grunted. "This was all a deliberate ploy for the Romulans to stage a bloodless coup! Tell me; have you checked up on your president lately?"

While Miyahara was spreaking, the Romulan's speech continued over him.

"In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Federation will be reorganized..."

After Miyahara had posed the question to the woman, she opened fire and everything went black; and Miyahara didn't get to hear what the Romulan was reorganizing the Federation into:

As Miyahara slowly came to, he began to make out the walls and ceiling of sickbay. He could feel the bandages on his head. He must have taken quite a hit when he was flung across the bridge...

"Well, hello there, Commander. How are we feeling?" Doctor Moller asked as he stood at the foot of the biobed reading the patients notes.

"Sore..." Miyahara grunted as he attempted to sit up. "Something's seriously wrong, though. I wonder if that guy I hallucinated after I hit my head had something to do with it..."

"Oh?" The Doctor replied as he placed the notes back in the holder at the base of the bed before moving round the bed to the Commanders left side. "How so? You have a concussion from being thrown across the bridge."

"You were there, doc." Miyahara said. "Don't you recall the two meter tall guy in green robes... Had an amphibian look to him? If you don't, I really must have hallucinated him."

"Hmm, perhaps your concussion is more severe than I first thought." Moller said as he pulled out his tricorder from his lab coat pocket and opened it.

"Well, this sucks..." Miyahara sighed. "Hopefully I only have to miss a few shifts and I didn't hit my head hard enough to be forcibly discharged..."

"Don't worry, Commander, with some rest and my care you'll be back at work causing more problems I'm sure." Steffan said with a chuckle. "I'll need to keep you here for a few hours for observation but your vitals are looking fairly stable. Would like your blood pressure to be a bit higher though."

"Now that you mention my blood pressure, I am feeling a little hungry." Miyahara muttered. "Do you have any snacks? Perhaps if I ate something, you'd see the results with my blood pressure you're looking for."

"Not a bad idea, Commander. What would you like from the replicator and I'll have a nurse fetch it for you." Moller said patting the security chief on the shoulder.
