Alexis followed the last of the medical staff out and down to secondary sickbay. She entered and picked up a tricorder, moving to the first occupied biobed. “What’s our triage status?” she asked of whoever could provide the answer. Once they had everyone settled here, she would talk to Marshall and Solal.

With Primary Sickbay being out of out, an emergency transport was automatically diverted to Secondary Sickbay. =/\=Incoming emergency transport. ICU.=/\=

Alexis turned, leaving the patient to another doctor and walked into the ICU as the lights began to swirl and turned on the nearest biobed.

In the ICU area, the transporter deposited Solomon Kane and the Kelakgh Ambassador, who was clearly unconscious.

Alexis didn’t even skip a beat at the sight of her wildly tattooed husband with an unconscious ambassador. =/\=Doctors Solal and Marshall report to secondary ICU for the Kelakgh Ambassador.=/\=

As they finished materializing she waved to two other medics, “Get her to a biobed.” Turning to Kane, “What happened?” As they set her down she started taking scans.

OOC: Is she wearing her breathing mask. I know she had it off in her quarters.

Kane, AMO

“She passed out in her quarters. Her oxygen levels had dropped from 102% to 98% for her normal and she was showing the same arrhythmia seen in Primary Sickbay. She was gasping slightly for breath as her nitrogen levels had also dropped. But she was in her own atmosphere, so her issues here are respiratory. Something is inhibiting her ability to absorb air. Has anyone done a respiratory work up?”

This is why Alexis hated being not on the direct medical team. She had been on her way to discuss with Walker, Marshall, and Solal when the power cycled out. “No, she left sickbay before they could complete a full work-up.” She grabbed a tricorder and started scanning her lungs. “Prep a bronchiodilater to help ease her breathing.” She held off giving it until she had completed a scan to make sure it wouldn’t cause more distress.

The situation and patients were becoming more and more stable as minutes passed by. Bryn walked through the bio beds, a PaDD in one hand that she made notes on concerning care, treatments, outcomes and supplies. Her eyes followed the Kane couple and she recognized the Ambassador. Arriving next to them a moment later. “Dr Kane, may I be of assistance?”

Alexis turned to the head nurse. “I want all the results from her earlier exam up on the board, as well as her medical records. We need a full respiratory work-up. Everyone grab a breathing mask. We’re going to change the environment in here to her natural one.”

Once everyone had a mask, Alexis ordered GALEN to adjust the environmental controls around the Ambassador’s ICU room.

The previously gathered information appeared on the main display:

Medical History: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf3/ogawa/posts/195203/
Tests to Date: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf3/ogawa/posts/211464/

Scans and tests of Mero’s lungs showed they were structurally intact (as per the Chest CT), but an Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) showed that the Kelakgh’s blood pH had actually dropped and was slightly more acidic than it should be. There seemed to be a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. This was likely the cause of the arrhythmia, but what was causing the pH and CO2 imbalance was not clear from her respiratory system.

Her diaphragm seemed to be working less than optimal, but given her significant fatigue as of late, was not unexpected.

Salin’s eyes fluttered and she murmured.

~Mischief Maker

Brad walked into the secondary sickbay and stood outside the ICU suite, observing the scans. Excess CO2? Well, that certainly lent credence to the sabotaged rebreather theory.

He pouted. Now security was going to have to get involved.

Chief of Staff

Kane stepped back and let Alexis and Walker take charge of the patient, but he wasn’t done. He took the Ambassador’s rebreather and began scanning it, detailing it. He paid close attention to everything. Particularly the scrubbers that made the air she breathed what she needed.

About this time the Su’en and the two guards stormed into the sickbay, the little advisor looking for a fight. “Unhand her!,” he bellowed, as much as he is able to bellow. “Guards! Assume your stations and do not allow these charlatans to assassinate our ambassador!”

The guards, looking quite dumbfounded at the escalation in his temper on the walked slowly towards the biobed but didn’t get in the way, looking back and forth between the two bosses, not really sure what to do.

Su’en folded his arms, “Well? Which one of you fried eggheads wants to tell me what the meaning of this is, why she wasn’t just given her rescue medication, and what your plan is to stabilize and return her to your quarters? You better believe your Captain will hear about this, as will the Senate!”
