<snip>“Of, of course I did,” he muttered as he took the CMO’s hand and pulled himself up, but made no attempt to put his clothing back on. In the short time they had been talking the air had started to cool and his sweat started to pick up.
Miya braced herself to take the ensign’s weight as he levered himself up from the floor. His hand felt clammy in hers and, even though it was definitely much cooler in sickbay than it should have been, he was sweating profusely. “Any news about the environmental controls?” she called over her shoulder to the cadet. “It’s getting really cold in here!”
She ignored the ensign’s lack of clothes - for now; it was more important to get him onto a biobed and start treatment before he became as ill as Ensign MacGuffin. She’d also have to warn Engineering to take grapok sauce off the replicator menu until they could run tests on the food for any potential allergens or food poisoning. Kosst, they should probably check all the replicators, just in case this was more widespread ....
As the young Lt escorted the man to the bed he suddenly stopped, hesitant to move forward. “No. No I don’t think I want to go there. You will strap me down and experiment on me!”

Pulled out of her thoughts, Miya blinked, then tried to reassure the ensign. “I won’t experiment on you! I want to make you better, that’s all. Look, Ensign MacGuffin’s not being experimented on, is he? He looks better now, yes?” In fact, she thought he still looked unwell, just a lot calmer now the sedative had taken effect. Miya tried another tack. “Okay - if you want, we won’t use the bed. You can sit on a chair, all right? I’ll use a medical tricorder to scan you; it won’t be as detailed as the biobed, but it’ll do for now.” And once you’re calmer, I’ll get you on the biobed and run a proper scan!
She caught the eye of another medical cadet and nodded to the tray of hyposprays. “Can you prepare another, please? The antipyretic I used last time and 5ccs of asinolyathin.” To the ensign, she said, “Let’s get you into a chair and I’ll give you a shot - it’ll make you feel a lot better, I promise.”
The medical cadet that Dr. Miya had issued her order to was none other than Javal, who had reported to Sickbay only a few moments before she made her request. While the cadet was for the moment unaware of the exact nature of the medical emergency, he knew that the urgency of the CMO’s order necessitated an immediate response. Any questions he had about the situation would have to wait.
Guiding himself over to the table opposite Miya, Javal grabbed one of several antipyretic vials and loaded it into a spare hypospray, carefully noting the dosage on the canister before loading the 5cc’s of asinolyathin.
(OOC: I’m deliberately not naming the cadets as I’m hoping that one of them will be Javal, once he’s started his counsellor check-in and we can get him into the main sim!)

=/\= Bridge to Sickbay. Get a team to Engineering and prepare for incoming casualties. =/\=

Javal glanced up at the sound of the intercom as he finished his task. A medical emergency in Engineering as well? Could there be a connection? he wondered to himself. Given his state of ignorance of the situation in Sickbay, this thought was made in complete conjecture, but it was worth considering nonetheless.
Prophets! What now? Miya rolled her eyes - which she would not have done had the new Captain been nearby, instead of safely on the Bridge - and tapped her commbadge with her free hand, trying to sound coolly professional. =/\= Understood, Captain. Sickbay out. =/\= There was no point asking for more information, she felt; it would be better to get first-hand knowledge of the situation in Engineering and that meant sending people down there as quickly as possible.
Still encouraging the ailing Ensign Chekhov towards the nearest chair, she called over her shoulder, “Cadet Javal! Take a medpack and a medical tricorder and get down to Engineering. Look for Lieutenant Stadi, the chief engineer - find out what’s going on, triage injuries and beam anyone who’s seriously hurt directly to Sickbay. Make sure to keep me informed about what’s happening in Engineering - understood?”
“Understood, Doctor,” was Javal’s reply as he made his way quickly over to the CMO’s side with the hypospray in hand.
Not waiting for his response, she glanced at two nearby Ensigns. “NE Lister, NE Syme, grab medkits and accompany Cadet Javal, please.” They were two of the more experienced Ensigns and could be relied on to support the Vulcan cadet. Miya felt confident Javal would perform well, whatever was going on in Engineering. She’d been impressed so far by his careful, precise manner; now it was time to see how he coped in more pressurised situations. There was no time to ponder that, though. Miya raised her voice. “Everyone else, prepare for incoming casualties. Usual procedures apply - you know the drills, we’ve practised them often enough!”
As for the two Ensigns with possible allergic reactions, MacGuffin and Chekhov, Miya felt she didn’t have enough information yet to pass up the chain of command. She wanted more diagnostic details - hopefully including some knowledge of what had made them both so ill - before she could identify potential solutions and pass them on. “Almost there, Ensign!” she puffed, supporting Chekhov towards the chair. Hopefully she could scan him with a medical tricorder once he was sitting down.

In the few seconds that he still had at Miya’s side, he motioned to her to take the hypospray from his hand. “Antipyretic calibrated with previous dose administered plus 5cc’s asinolyathin,” he said.
Leaving the current emergency to the Chief, Javal spun around to meet the gaze of the two medical Ensigns who had just been thrusted into his charge, medkits in hand. NE Syme, already on top of the emergency response procedure, gave the Vulcan a little smirk. “Here, you’ll be needing this, Cadet,” and hoisted another medpack into his hands along with a medical tricorder.
“Much obliged,” Javal replied, affixing the tricorder to his utility belt and taking the medpack in hand.
“Now you heard the CMO,” he began again, returning his gaze onto the two Ensigns. “There has been a disturbance in Main Engineering requiring an emergency medical response. We will link up with Chief Engineer Stadi and assess the situation before initiating triage,” he said in a calm, confident manner. “Any questions?”
While the Ensigns gave no reply, Javal could tell the both of them were well prepared to meet the challenge ahead of them.
“Very good, let us proceed,” he said with a nod, before leading the way out of Sickbay at a rapid pace, the two NEs trailing closely behind.
