Elaine winced, “Fatigue, that is a tough first symptom to get for sure. It’s wonderful you have been able to recognise when to get checked out. I sometimes feel like I need a PA to go and chase down some humanoids that try to tough symptoms out before finally asking for my help when acting tough didn’t work out so well.” she thought of Ensign Bailey, smiling and telling her she was fine before she collapsed treating a patient half an hour later, then shook the memory out wondering why her face kept appearing so frequently today.

“I would rather you show up into my Sickbay on a false alarm than on a crisis one.” As she spoke, behind her where she couldn’t see a small dog emerged and trotted towards them.

“Oh, chasing me down won’t be a problem.” Ensign Donivas chuckled. “I don’t think I’ve devolved into hypochondriac territory, but I’m sure I’ll visit sickbay more than your average Starfleet Officer.” He flashed a friendly grin. “For the excellent company, if nothing else.”

“I think I’m satisfied with that, any questions for me or did you have any questions for me at all?”

“I’d like to have a medical tricorder issued for my personal use, if you don’t mind.” Khiryn added in a more serious tone. “Part of detecting flare ups early involves frequent scans. I can have the readings sent to my file, so you’ll have access to everything.”

“That can be arranged,” Elaine nodded, “I can get one of the Engineers to rig one up for you, it’s a good idea,”

“Also…” He paused for a moment. “Its not urgent… but I’ve become refractory to the more common medications used to treat my flare ups. If you have free time, it might be wise to look into alternative treatments… just in case my condition becomes serious. I’d be more than happy to collaborate with you and volunteer for additional scans if that would help.”

Just then a little ball of fluff with a nose and a wagging tail jumped up on the bio bed next to Khiryn.

Khiryn was surprised as the animal jumped up in the bed next to him. He leaned back and took it in. I normally prefer feline variants… they are more independent. that didnt stop hik from offering the canine a pet before the CMO snatched it away.

“Enj,” Elaine jumped, quickly grabbing the dog and putting him back down on the floor, “Sorry about that, he knows better than to jump on bio beds without permission,” seeming just like a scolded schoolboy, the dog hung his head on his paws and lay on the floor.

“Anyway, you want to look into alternative treatments? I’ll be happy to help. I’m still fairly new on board myself but once I’m all settled in, I’ll be sure to pull the books out and we can set up some appointments to test things out. Is there anything you’ve already been looking into and tried?”

Ensign Donivas shook his head. “Its not urgent. Its just that traditional treatments were losing effectivness… and the Doctors seemed a little nervous during my last flare up.” The Akaali shrugged. “I figured its be a good idea to try and devise some strategies early… rather than waiting until my life is in jeopardy.”

“I’ve heard having your life in jeopardy isn’t that much fun,” the doctor said, her eyes twinkling humorously.

“I can check back in with you in a few weeks or so… once we both have a chance to settle in.”

“That sounds good, I’ll pre-set a reminder for us to get in touch in a couple of weeks.” she said, typing away into her PADD again. She didn’t know about Donivas, but she knew how absorbed she could get into her work, and she knew before she saw him again that she would be researching as much as she could.

“Is there anything else, before I start my scans?”

Lt. Janvier, CMO

“Scan away, Doctor.” The Akaali replied with a faint grin. “But if you make any amazing discoveries based on these scans, I’m going to want an honorable mention in whatever paper you write.”

“I’ll make sure of it,” Elaine smiled, “If it wins an award you can collect it for me,”

She moved over and started the scans.

OOC: What do the scans come back with?
