There didn’t seem to be a reaction at first but he did take longer before replying after learning about this bark Chewing of his Captain “I see” He paused before casually shrugging “Well there is untold medicinal value in natural remedies. I would, however, like to have a sample of this Bark to have in my system, maybe some bloodwork for when you are under its influence.” He stood up and walked to a nearby cabinet and started rummaging for a moment before a silent eureka moment “Brava” he said quietly as he grabbed a small silver box and returned “This is the latest GeniTech model Neurocortical Monitor. I would like if you could wear it for the next time you…” There was a slight pause as he searched for the correct language “Indulge yourself. I would only need the one time, but since it would send continuous data streams directly to me. I would program it to send info to me and me alone, it would alleviate some worries I might have.” He handed the small box to her “This is of course all optional, but I believe the tests to be neccecary for me to understand what you would be going through on a physical level.”

There was no way he’d miss her hesitancy, but Ghubari reached out and accepted the monitor. “I steep the bark in a tea and I can give you a sample of both the bark and the resulting infusion when I make it.” She wiggled the cortical monitor between her fingers. “I’ll do this, but understand that you’re observing something that goes beyond basic medicine. Whether you believe it or not, the experiences I have are very real to me and they shape my life. It’s a spiritual experience that transcends everyday reality.” She was pretty open about her beliefs, but it was still strange to discuss them in this manner. Usually when she did it was in a more personal setting in an even more informal conversation than they one they were having.

Benjamin took a moment before answering “I’m a Doctor in a world where people can read emotions and shoot energy out of their heads” He smiled somberly “But behind every metaphysical and holistic experience is a Scientific explanation. Behind every Prophet is a Wormhole Alien and so on and so forth. Even Scots have their spiritual Experiences” Benjamin was pleased with her acceptance of his proposal “Besides I’d only really need a baseline test, incase of… wel in case of anyting really.”

She fiddled with the device in her fingers some more and nodded. “It’ll be the first time, so… lucky you?” Ghubari said with a tiny smirk.

“Do you want warning before I put it on, or should I just bring it to you the next day?”

Again Benjamin chuckled at his captain’s words “No, no. Just bring it back whenever. The data will be sent to my private terminal, either here or to my quarters. I’d also need a baseline comparison, REM sleep should be just fine, so set it on before you go to sleep.” He moved from the bed “Well I don’t have anything extra for you to do here. Are there any questions or requests you have?
