Oliver had never been quick to wake. He was aware of shouting and red, red, red. When he was a boy he would dose after his alarm and dream of dressing, eating, and his whole morning routine. But, then he would wake up and realize that he'd not moved at all and he was going to be late for school and his grandmother's shrieks of "GET UP!" had been added to the soul destroying screeching of the second alarm cycle. Curious, that he should be reminded of his old alarm clock then, when there were certainly no such annoyances out in the middle of whatever cold oblivion Oliver had dissolved into. Imagined or not, he wished the alarm and those disembodied screams would shut up.
"Where is your red alert station, Ensign?"
And then the noise broke through the sleep barrier. Red alert! Oliver sat up so quickly, he very nearly threw himself into the next biobed. He blinked and whipped his head around towards the nearest source of the commotion (as opposed to every other source of commotion). It was Kinin and Commander Ericson. Had their shouts influenced the strange, and now that he thought of it, fantastical dream he'd been having? But then he saw a face that he'd only seen once before, and it had not been on the Talon. It was the appearance of Lieutenant Roshan that proved to Oliver that it hadn't been a dream.
As they were lifting Commander Ericson onto a biobed, Oliver found his feet. Careful not to get in the way of the medics, he darted out of sickbay, and made a beeline for deck five.
EXIT: OLIVER
