Alexis shook her head, “No Cmdr. The only members of the community we’ve seen are patients. I had expected to see someone from their medical facilities, but they haven’t shown. They honestly may not be able to be spared from their own patients. I have told Lampkin to inform our staff and make sure that anyone who comes in is tested and either treated or vaccinated.”

“Dr. Solal, just a moment,” Bonner walked up to the young man. “Are you vaccinated for R-TB? If not you need to be.”

Solal stepped out of the patient’s room with the blood sample and headed to the medical lab with two tests in mind: to check the efficacy of the vaccine on this strain of TB and to check that the treatment would work on this strain. He ran both tests.

He was just walking by, having left the patient’s room with the sample, when he heard his name and paused, turning to Bonner as she walked up to him. Solal had to think about her question for a moment, and then he shook his head. “I am not.”

Alexis nodded once, “I will meet you in the lab momentarily. We will have to start you on a round of treatment until we know for sure you have not contracted it.”

“Okay, I will talk to the powers that be to see what can be done or what help they are willing to accept. We can probably ask for a follow-up team to set-up more ongoing support.” Dira blew out a breath. “Is there any risk to our crew just by proximity? I’m worried about the Vulcan crew members in particular considering they share a genetic heritage.”

“In humans it tends to be show more like the flu, but no lasting or serious damage, unless they are very young, old, or ill. But I am also concerned about any one with Vulcan or Reman heritage.” Alexis looked around, there were still so many to see, she hated to walk away to check the files. “It wouldn’t hurt to go ahead and vaccinate everyone. I could go back to the ship and check the crew records, but I really can’t spare anyone right at the moment. One of the nurses still on board or maybe Dr Walker would already know.” She had contacted Walker but hadn’t heard from him yet. She would of course return to the ship to check if Myqian ordered her to do so. The mobile hosptial was fully staffed, but with the number of people coming in it was more like they were working with a skeleton crew.

“There’s an entire hospital up there, let them handle those logistics. Call for me help down here if you ned them. We have plenty of people to spare. Just make sure they’re pre-treated before they beam down,” Dira said.

=/\=Walker to Bonner. I’ll get our facilities started on producing more treatment courses. Barring any acute emergency cases, tracing the spread of this infection should be the top priority of the ground teams.=/\=

Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff

=^=Yes, Sir. Dr. Solal is already testing virus against our typical treatments and starting a contact trace. I am concerned about any of our crew that has Vulcan, Romulan, or Reman heritage. They will be at higher risk.=^=

Bonner, AMO

Myqian waited till the conversation had finished before she chimed in again and the time actually allowed her to steady herself, to put the pain and suffering of these refugees in a contained place again. “Alexis, by any chance do you have a neurosuppressant available or that you can replicate for me? I hate doing it, but things are… intense down here and too much of the suffering is bleeding through my mental shields. If I don’t do something, I’ll have to head back up sooner rather than later.”

Commander Myqian, XO

Alexis nodded. “We didn’t stock the hospital with it, but it is in the database so the replicators can make. If you will come this way.” Alexis tried to contain her reaction. She knew her aversion to telepaths was really the result of one person, one unethical person and that most telepaths were not. She had to look at the science, the facts, not the personal experiences. She stepped into the supply area and keyed up the replicator for the telepathic inhibitor. “I just need to take a quick scan to see what your current levels are for the dosage.”

Once she had the reading she took the vial and slipped it into a hypospray and keyed in the dosage. “It can cause some light momentary dizziness, would you like to sit first?”
