John said: "how were you not affected by the tremors?" Evelina said: "I lived in an earthquake hotspot area for a long time. I've gotten rather good at remaining on my feet when everything is shaking like crazy. Thankfully. Keep an eye on Rose. I want to see if there's any major damage. If there is, then it needs to be fixed pronto." John slowly stood and said: "I'm coming with you. Let's go check." Evelina said: "okay. But if you start feeling dizzy or lightheaded, tell me. Don't try to tough it out. The last thing we need is for you to pass out cold. Also it would scare Lorelai. And Lorelai has been through enough trauma. When we were in the library when I was reading to her, when she fell asleep, she let her shield down. I saw her memories of her time at the orphanage. And I wasn't even trying. I'm not the type of person to take advantage of someone when they're asleep and look into their mind. A, that's creepy. B, it's morally wrong. I don't do that. No way. I refuse to look into people's minds without their consent." John said: "right. Duly noted. Let's go." Then they walked out of the console room and checked for any major damage. There was nothing amiss. Except when they passed a maintenance closet. They backed up. Evelina tried to open the door but found it hard to open. She looked at John and said: "help me open the door." John walked over and helped Evelina push the door open. They finally got the door open. Evelina stepped in and pushed brooms and mops aside and crouched down. John heard a soft whimper from inside the closet. Evelina got down on her hands and knees and ducked under the shelf and said kindly: "hello?" She heard a soft whimper followed by a quiet: "please, somebody help me!" Evelina said kindly: "hang on. I'm going to help you. Where are you?" The quiet voice told her. Evelina said kindly: "okay. Keep talking. I'm going to follow your voice. Sweetie, I need you to work with me and do exactly as I tell you. Okay?" The quiet voice said: "okay." Evelina said kindly: "okay. I need you to stay calm and keep talking to me. Tell me about yourself." The quiet voice kept talking. Evelina moved cleaning supplies aside and pulled a grate up with her bare hands and tossed it aside and dropped down into the hole and said kindly: "okay. Sweetie, can you come over to me?" The quiet voice said: "I can't. My legs are pinned under something." Evelina looked up and said: "John, ready the medbay!" John didn't hesitate. He took off running to the medbay. He knew that this could be a matter of life or death. He ran into the medbay and quickly prepped the medbay. Meanwhile, Evelina crawled over to the quiet voice. She grabbed her sonic screwdriver and said kindly: "sweetie, I need you to stay very still. I'm going to get you out from under this beam. But I need you to stay very still." The little girl nodded. Then Evelina cut through the beam. Then she put her sonic screwdriver away and lifted the beam and tossed it aside and carefully scooped the little girl up and climbed out of the hole and out from under the shelf and stood and walked out of the closet and ran to the medbay using super speed. It was imperative that the little girl get to the medbay. The little girl was whimpering in pain all the way. Evelina said gently: "I know. I know it hurts. We'll be there in a bit." Evelina ran into the medbay and stopped. John said: "how did you get here so fast?" Evelina said: "I'll tell you later. Right now she takes more importance. Her legs were pinned under a solid metal beam. I had to cut through it with my sonic screwdriver. And then somehow I managed to lift it off her and toss it aside like it weighed nothing. I guess it's true that women can lift heavy things when they're running on adrenaline." John said: "right. We need to run tests to see what condition her legs are in." Evelina said: "let me do it. No offense but she might not feel comfortable with you doing the tests."
