OOC: Happens to the best of us! Don’t sweat it.IC: The NE motioned towards the panel labeled “Emergency” before walking over and opening it. Inside was the standard space suits and mag boots that are used when doing space walks or entering environments that require such things. With a daft motion he pulled out one of the duffle bags and gently pushed it up towards Javal. “Catch, though I would recommend, ya know, pushing off against something to get yourself closer to the ground before you turn the boots on. Don’t want to get pulled down like, 10 meters.” He chuckled slightly before turning his attention to the engineers suspended in their own little cells. Most of them had calmed down but were still sweating profusely, occasionally shivering from fever. A few had vomited in their “cell” and at least one was still trying her best to get out by ramming herself repeatedly against the force field, oblivious to the pain.

Javal attempted to re-orient his body in space as best he could so that he could reach out and grab the duffle bag that the NE threw - well more like floated - at him.
Grabbing the bag in his hands just as he turned over, Javal took a hand and undid the zipper.
“It appears I have successfully reacquainted my body to the effects of zero-gravity,” he said, with perhaps the slightest sliver of confidence entering into his voice.
Heeding the NE’s advice, he made for the wall of the cargo bay. Propping himself in a crouching position, he pushed off the surface with the power of his quads, which resulted in the propulsion of the Vulcan in the trajectory of the floor. Or perhaps it was the ceiling?
As he neared his target, Javal, who had already slipped on the magboots before making the maneuver, reached down toward his ankles and hit the power button quickly before bringing his legs back out again to make contact with the surface.
Observing that his feet were still secured in place to the floor, Javal looked up to notice that Jordy was still floating about above him.
‘Javal you have a pair for me to?’ Jordy asked still floating around.

“Negative, but I should be in a stable enough position now to grab one myself,” he replied, eager to test out the weight of the magboots on his standard gait.
Noting the increased effort that he had to put in to walking, Javal proceeded to move at a decidedly slower pace that he was normally used to speed-walking about in. Thankfully, this was not a severe enough impediment to him making it to the emergency locker and tossing out another duffle bag containing a pair of magboots in Jordy’s direction.
With the need of his compatriot seen to, Javal took a moment to gaze up at the sick crewmen and noted their bizarre behavior - including the one crewman insisting on smacking himself into a forcefield repeatedly.
“Curious…” Javal muttered to himself. Were the fever-like symptoms these crewmen seemed to be displayed leading to their sudden irrationality? And what was the cause of said fever? He’d need to get closer to find out.
Prepping a tricorder, he proceeded in the direction of the closest fever-ridden crewman, careful to not approach too close before Jordy could get his bearings and assist him in case the crewman got aggressive.
OOC: Let me know if I snipped too much out of this thread! I’m still trying to figure out how much is “enough” :)

(OOC: feel free to have some time pass in the thread before you answer this comm message! I wanted to cross-post it here for when you’re ready to reply.)
=^= Ven here - report, please. What condition are your patients in? =^=
[Lieutenant JG Ven Miya, CMO - cross-post]
Jordy catches the bag and puts on the mag boots,he goes to a place where he can pull himself to the ground and turn the boots on.
‘Why did we not put this on before we entered that would be a lot easier.’ Jordy said.
He walks to Javal with his phaser in his hand set on stun.

As Javal got himself into position to examine the crewman, he noticed Jordy take position just beside him. Noting his complaint, which he filed away as a lesson to be learned about responding to situations like these in a more prepared manner, he made ready his tricorder to start his preliminary scans of the patient. Hopefully, the fellow would be too discombobulated by his feverish symptoms and the disorientation of floating around in space for him to take too much offense at Javal’s poking and prodding.
OOC: What information does Javal find out about this patient, assuming he gets the chance to get a decent enough scan of him?
[Cadet Javal - doctor]
(OOC: The gamemaster will reply, giving you the results of the tricorder readings (assuming your scan worked, of course!) - so that’s a perfect place to stop your post to give him a chance to respond! Then you get to react to what the GM tells you. Glad you’ve both got your feet on the ground again! ;D )
[OOC - Claire (Miya)]
‘They look sick dont you think, they were not in that condition in main engineering.’ Jordy says to Javal he thought he knew what was going on but now he does not.
Cadet Jordy Kleine - Security
As his tricorder was taking its initial readings of the sick crewman, Javal replied to Jordy’s question.
“Your perception of the situation is correct. While the affected crewmen in Main Engineering displayed agitation, they had not at that time exhibited chills and fever such as is being exhibited now. My scan should be able to elucidate this change in condition.”
The scans were completed fairly quickly and consistent. Any engineer would have the same illness that was discovered in the Sick bay. High fever, delusional, quick temper. The blood scans would show signs of the same virus.
GM Wombat
As the scans came in, Javal peered carefully over the data stream, his eyes glancing over the assorted numbers and abbreviations that only a trained physician would be able to interpret on the fly. While the results indicated the obvious observation of fever and delusion, another result stuck out at him.
“Curious. My scans are indicating the presence of viral infection in this patient. I must transmit these results to Dr. Ven posthaste -”
At that very moment, Javal’s combadge came alive with Miya’s voice.
=^= Ven here - report, please. What condition are your patients in? =^=
Javal looked over at Jordy and raised his eyebrow at the convenient timing of the message.
“Ah, it seems that my report shall be received at a most opportune time by the CMO.”
Promptly tapping his combadge to give his reply, Javal glanced down at his tricorder and input a couple of commands to upload his scan results to the library computer found in Sickbay.
=^= “Cadet Javal here. I have completed a diagnostic examination of one of the affected engineers in the cargo bay. My scans indicate high-grade pyrexia, psychosomatic disturbance, and, most notably, a viral infection with sequences not readily indicative of most common communicable strains. I have uploaded the results of my scan to the Sickbay library computer.” =^=
Javal paused for a moment, thinking about the implications of what this situation would mean for both him and the security and medical personnel with him.
=^= ....Granted that the causative agent of these disturbances is viral in origin, I must assume that both I and the security and medical personnel that accompanied me to the cargo bay have been exposed to the virus. Unless otherwise indicated, we may need to undertake quarantine procedures to prevent further spread of the contagion.” =^=
[Cadet Javal - doctor]
‘If the virus does spread it also has spreaded in engineering and in there we had the the chief engineer and chief of security there, then we have a problem because if we need to go in quarantine then we have not much security left.’ Jordy says worried to Javal.
