Ash gave Ryley a rather irritated scowl and muttered under her breath “Yes of course Ryley.” as she continued her scans of Tyler “Have you been working with the counselor on those memories?” She asked as she waited for the scans to come back with readings.

“What do you mean gone? Define gone. As in nothing blank space not ther eor as in impressions but fuzzy?”

Tyler started blankly at Ryley. Had the doctor not even familiarized himself with Tyler’s condition? He held the man’s gaze for a moment and then gave a curt nod.

“Yes. Just gone. I guess that’s how this virus works,” Tyler said, giving another shrug of his shoulders.

Ryley frowned at him some more then tilted his head. “Virus?” Tyler wasn’t someone Ryley had treated before and though he had a habit of skimming through the crews medical files to see if something peaked his interest shomehow he never made it to the scientists file. He needed to fix that.

He glanced at Summers and then back at Tyler. “Finish scanning him.” He said pulling the mans file up himself up onto the biobed opposite which went haywire silently when he sat down as always, he ignored it and started skim reading. “So let me get this straight, you got injected with something causing a virus that’s still active in your system that’s wiping your memory? Is it long term memory or short term? Or both?”

Ash nodded “Yes Ryley, just waiting for the information to finish coming up.” She said “Once I have the scans information I will have it to you.” She said.

Tyler gave a nod. “Experimental memory virus. It was something cooked up by Section 31 apparently, and the rogue agent who attacked me injected me with the sample he had been personally carrying.” He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Mostly long term memories are gone. It’s only when I try and remember specific events and times in my life that I realize that there’s nothing there.” His worst fear of course was that the memories of his Starfleet training would start to go, which would no doubt render him unfit for duty.

“Kool.” Ryley said and by his tone it was clear he genuinely meant it. He continued to read the file. “So we have the how…when did the symptoms start and are they focused only on the memories of things like daddy bringing you gifts dressed as Santa that one year or are they at the point they’re affecting daily life like do you forget where you are and what you’re doing as you’re doing it or are you at your post and relies eying don’t remember what all of those buttons actually do,” He looked up and fixed Wells with his piercing gaze as he waited for an answer.

“Can you tell me today’s star date and what sector of space we are in.”

Tyler continued to look at Ryley curiously. “Yes, of course I can.” He stated the date and current position. Then he folded his arms across his chest. “I don’t remember much about my childhood. I guess the furthest memory back I still have is being in secondary school. I was maybe 11 or 12. I remember this group of three boys used to bully some of the other students. One day…” He paused, realizing that he was rambling.

“I suppose you don’t need to hear my stories,” He said plainly.

-Tyler Michael Wells, CSO

“Sure I do. Tell me about the bullies.” He said as he made a note on the PaDD.

“I was just going to say that one of the earliest memories I can recall is a day during play hour, when all the kids were out in the yard,” Tyler said. “The three bullies were picking on one of the younger boys, so I…”

After a few minutes he interrupted. “I’m going to tell you three objects I want you to repeat them back to me now and then again when I ask in a few minutes. Ready, Biobed, warpcore, rabbit.” Rykey waved his hand in the air in a go on gesture.

“All right,” Tyler said slowly. He gave Ash kind of a ‘help me’ glance, and then cleared his throat, before continuing with his story. “So I shoved the largest of the 3 bullies, and shortly after two of them were running away with bloody noses and the largest was on the ground with a black eye.”

-Tyler Michael Wells, CSO
Ash looked at Tyler and gave a small shrug and a half hearted smile.

“How’d you do it exactly can you remember? And can you repeat those items?” Ryley asked making another note on his PaDD.

Tyler thought about it for a moment, his face kind of scrunched up as he concentrated and searched his own memory. Finally he let out a small sigh and shook his head.

“No, I can’t remember the details,” He said dejectedly. “But the items you mentioned were a biobed, warp core and rabbit.”

-Tyler Michael Wells, CSO

Ryley watched him and made a note on the PaDD again. “Interesting…can you count backwards from 20 for me?” He asked as again he looked though the file and the details recorded.

Ooc: James any extra information or would Tyras scans show anything?

Ryley
MD

Summers (med)

OOC: Scans just show what’s already in Tyler’s file. The virus had been identified previously, but with no known name or cure provided.

Tyler gave Ash an eye roll, and then slowly began counting backwards. “Twenty… Nineteen… Eighteen… Seventeen…” He paused, looking over towards Ryley. “You’re really going to make me go through all this aren’t you?”

-Tyler Michael Wells

“Yup.” Ryley said without looking up from the PaDD. “ Old fashioned but effective, the Mini-Mental State Exam or MMSE, is a short but very useful test that assesses a lot of different abilities.”

“He looked up then, “For example the question about the date and where you were demonstrates orientation, the objects which I’d like you to repeat for me again now is to demonstrate memory skills. The numbers are concentration. In a few minutes I’m going to get you to name some objects and do a tongue twister for me to demonstrate your language abilities and then I’m going to make you do a fancy test with some flashing lights to look at your motoskills all while the tricorder monitors your brain function.”

He puffed air from one cheek to the next thoughtfully “that being said the MMSE is not sensitive enough to pick up on subtle problems in thinking and memory. Nor does it probe any one aspect of mental functioning in depth or distinguish among memory disorders. So for that I’m going to have to do a full neurological series.” He grinned as if this were Christmas.
