Aeryn looked at Katniss, "You have to keep going..."

Katniss just looked at Aeryn, it was one of those as if that is going to happen looks.

"Okay then WE keep going" she smiled, "let's go"

"Yes, we shall. However, I think I might be in a spot of trouble after this one," she said, hoping that someone was at least on the way to help. "But for now, we just need to stay safe and take it slow," Katniss said with a smile, gently looking at her arm and the ever-increasing swelling from the snake bite.

--- Meanwhile outside ---

The Ops & Engineering personnel were busy working on shutting down the holodeck, one of the officers turned to look at Tyson.

"The safeties appear to be off doctor so your services may well be required. We should be in there shortly."

On location outside of the holodeck, Tyson was ready for any medical emergency. He looked at his silver wrist watch, noting the time. He let his eyes drift over the holodeck doorway, as the blur of the engineers who worked on the computer.

--- Back in the holodeck ---

Aeryn was looking at Katniss, to say she felt rotten was an understatement. Then suddenly the configuration of the holodeck changed, they were no longer in a forest. Instead, they were in complete darkness, Katniss held onto Aeryn for dear life.

"Katniss, I want to play a game." said the chilling voice.

"It....it knows my name, she whispered to Aeryn"

"It would appear so.." Aeryn hoped they'd soon be out of this crazy holodeck programme.

"Katniss...." the voice spoke again, "it's time... time to choose... Do you get out and survive or do you stay and save Aeryn then BOTH of you die!" the voice laughed in a chilling way.

"It knows Both our names" Aeryn looked at Katniss, her vision was starting to blur and she knew her temperature was rising too.

In the Darkness, Katniss could hardly see a thing, but she could make out Aeryn's facial expressions, she was in pain and it was Katniss's fault, she was to blame for this, no one else.

"Get out of here Katniss..." Aeryn was struggling to stay awake thanks to a combination of blood loss and snake venom. "Just GO!”

"We tried that earlier remember and the program didn't give us the exit, we rather both leave or we both die, here together." Katniss said with some determination as the darkness began to subside a challange lay ahead for her.

--- A while later ---

The holodeck doors swung open to reveal two unconscious bodies on the floor, Aeryn was lying with a small pool of blood under her broken arm, a fair size swelling on her neck from the bite of the snake. Katniss was flat out not far from her in terms of the holodeck space although it had seemed further away in the programme.

Entering the holodeck calm and collected, Tyson noticed Aeyrn laying on the ground in front of him. Aeyrn had blood pooling around her body. Taking out his medical tricorder, and handheld scanner he used. He placed his hand on her neck, testing her pulse and it was faint. The tricorder completed an effective multivariate analysis of the Lieutenants condition.

Looking up from his situation in the holodeck program, he could not see Katniss from his position. He had known Lieutenant Wakefield was in here and what was going on with this program?

Flipping open his silver medical emergency kit, he pulled out a vaso stimulator and cortico stimulators, placing the one on her forehead, and the other a hypo sprayed amount directly into her neck. He ripped off the blood-soaked uniform around her arm.

He once again set the devices into motion, syncing with his tricorder and getting new readings, his mind furious having to make amounts, decisions, what to do and how and when. “That’s not working. It's not going to do it,” Tyson shook his head at the case of the internal bleeding, the broken arm, and the oxygenation problems and neural unconsciousness of the patient. He tried to distance his self for the moment; he didn’t let emotions pressure him, any other would serve to distract his work.

Hitting his com badge, Tyson set an emergency transport for the Counsellor. “Computer, emergency transport for Lt. Jameson.”

The body had begun a shimmering silver streak of energy.

As Tyson had begun to seek Lt. Wakefield in the holodeck, since the program was still running, it was if he was attending some wild world.

He walked forward through the holodeck figuring its pathways; Doctor Tyson issued orders to the computer and Adaestron in sickbay for the newly transported Counsellor. “Assist with neurocortical monitor, protodynoplaser, and osteo-regenerator unit… Cyclizine, and Tramazipine XR.”

Katniss gave out a whimper, drifting in and out of consciousness, with all her strength she somehow managed to half sit up, before the chilling voice spoke.

"You entered two, but leave as one, you overcame your final challenge, you sought redemption and you are forgiven. You have survived the Jigsaw trials, but at what cost."

With that, the full program shut down. "I did it...I....I....I won." Katniss said before a darkness surrounded her and she finally passed out, her own life signs weak.

Just then the shimmering the photonic arrays lost their cohesion of the program matrix being disengaged. The shimmering of the walls around came down leaving behind the dark and yellow holodeck grid lines.

"Over here!" Tyson shouted.

The two security crew man bolted what once had seemed spatial terrain apart. "Katniss... Katniss.... Can you hear me?" Tyson whipped out his medical tricorder reading Lieutenant Wakefield.

"Computer, Emergency Transport to Medical Bay, Deck 06, Emergency Suite." Kneeling beside Katniss on the floor the holodeck in emergency distress. The beam out would place Wakefield right beside Aeryn on the bio beds.

Watching the emergency party beam out the Ops team locked down the holodeck until an investigation could be conducted into whatever had gone wrong, for now they'd have to wait until the two witnesses we're able to explain what happened.
