CARETAKER : Episodes 1 and 2
Part D

Kim battles the flames in Sickbay, at one point using a torn off uniform sleeve to cover his right arm to enable him to get close enough.
Paris examines the fallen bodies of the Doctor and the Nurse. They are dead. He tells Kim: "They must've been right next to the console when it exploded."
Kim uses a fire extinguisher on the flames.

As she hurries to Engineering, Janeway ties up her hair again which had started to come down after Voyager's pummelling by the displacement wave. She arrives in Engineering.
Computer: "Warning: warp core microfracture. Breach imminent."
Janeway asks the acting chief engineer, Lieutenant Joseph Carey: "What's the warp core pressure?"
Joe Carey: "Twenty-one hundred kiloPascals."
Janeway: "Lock down the magnetic constrictors."
Carey: "If we lock them down, at these pressure levels we might not be able to re-initialise the dilithium reaction."
Computer: "Warning: warp core microfracture. Breach imminent."
Janeway: "We don't have a choice. We've got to get the reaction rate down before we try and seal it."

In Sickbay, Kim orders: "Computer, initiate Emergency Medical Holographic program."
The Emergency Medical Hologram materialises. The program's visual form is that of a male human in Starfleet uniform of the medical division. The EMH states: "Please state the nature of the medical emergency."

Kim: "Multiple percussive injuries."
EMH Doctor: "Status of your doctor?"
Kim: "He's dead."

Doctor: "4 cc's of trianoline."
Kim: "Trianoline?"
Paris: "We lost our Nurse too."

The Doctor fetches the medication himself, and injects the patient using a hypospray. audio: hypospray injectionhypospray injection
Doctor: "How soon are replacement medical personnel expected?"
Kim: "That could be a problem. We're pretty far away from replacements right now."

Doctor: "Tricorder."
Kim hands him one.

The Doctor testily says: "Medical tricorder!" Kim hands him a medical tricorder.

As he uses it, the Doctor says matter-of-factly: "A replacement must be requested as soon as possible. I am programmed only as a short-term emergency supplement to the medical team."
Paris: "Well, we may be stuck with you for a while, Doc."
Doctor: "There's no need for concern. I'm capable of dealing with any injury or disease." He tells the patient: "No concussion. You'll be fine." To an attending crewmember: "Clean him up."

Janeway: "Unlock the magnetic constrictors."
Carey: "Constrictors online."
Janeway: "Pressure?"
Carey: "It's working. Twenty-five hundred kiloPascals and holding."

Rollins, via comms: "Bridge to Janeway. We're being scanned by the Array, Captain. It's penetrated our shields."
Janeway: "What kind of scan? Bridge? Janeway to bridge, respond!" One of the crew suddenly completely vanishes! Puzzled, Janeway nevertheless finishes the procedure: "Initiate emergency lock-off." Then everyone disappears!

In Sickbay the Doctor speaks to....

...a female crewmember who is lying on a biobed. "You're not seriously hurt. You can return to your station."

She nods and starts to get up but suddenly she vanishes, then the other crew in Sickbay vanish too, leaving only the Doctor!

The Doctor looks round, irritated, at his suddenly empty Sickbay. He taps his combadge. "This is the Emergency Holographic Doctor speaking. I gave no permission for anyone to be transported out of Sickbay." But there is no response. "Hello? Sickbay to bridge. I believe someone has failed to terminate my program. Please respond."
But there is no reply.
