Chris raised an eyebrow then after a minute of looking at them both intently he shrugged his shoulders. “Oh well. What the heck!” He jumped up onto the biobed and laid down. Looking up at Symar. “Just out of curiosity. Why am I the most logical test subject?”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

The captain had echoed Kastarak’s thoughts perfectly. Kastarak awaited Symar’s reply.

– Ensign Kastarak (physician/counsellor)

“A human is not a likely passenger on board a Romulan starship, so I want to make sure that this software is capable of scanning lifeforms from ALL species.”

-Lieutenant Symar: Chief Medical Officer-

“Ah! Very logical! That’s why you two are the best! Proceed my good men!”

Chris

Kastarak spoke up. “Very good, sir. Please, lie down on the biobed for an examination. At the same time, I will scan you with the medical tricorder. Thereafter, I will compare the data from the two apparatuses.”

OOC: It’d be good if you’d tell us how Taggart’s health is looking while scanning so we can make the proper medical interventions if necessary ;) – Ric

– Ensign Kastarak (physician/counsellor)

OOC: Happy for you to tell me Travis? Or If you’d like I can spitball xD

-Kieron-

“Very well doctor.” Chris got back into the biobed and laid still. It was uncomfortable compared to Starfleets. “These Romulans really don’t care about their people. This thing is uncomfortable.” He said while trying to lay still.
Taggart has a slight cold and a small mass on his brain.

Chris

Noticing the mass, Symar arched an eyebrow, “Captain, are you aware of the small mass on your brain?” He’d get to the cold in a minute, but wanted to solve the more pressing mystery first.

-Lieutenant Symar: Chief Medical Officer-

“No sir. Is it bad?” Chris was confused now and his heart rate would go up a little.

Chris

At this point, Kastarak needed to step in – Symar was out-Vulcanning the Vulcans in his lack of bedside manner. Why can’t Symar just be honest with who he is? Should Kastarak counsel Symar to it? Surely, at this point, being in a Romulan ship, en route to enemy space, is it really good that Symar simply lies about his history and dealings with the Romulans? Though, as a physician – indeed one of Symar’s personal ones – he was sworn to medical secrecy. Kastarak could not make a sound about it.

“Captain,” Kastarak interjected. “I would urge you to stay calm, if possible. We are still trying to understand the imagery and data from these apparatuses – we are not used to them. Your core temperature seems elevated, it looks like 37.9 degrees Celsius – just slightly above what it should be. There seems to be a mild viral infection in your system, one that you have antibodies towards, so it is likely endogenous to humans – perhaps a common cold. Tell us, please, do you feel?” Concerned that the captain might speak of his emotions now – which would not help a diagnosis – Kastarak added: “Somatically, that is.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“Meanwhile, we will try to analyse the mass.”

As Kastarak continued to scan the mass using his dual-technology method (Romulan machine and the Betazoid medical tricorder), he was wondering what he would find…

– Ensign Kastarak (counsellor / physician)

OOC: Both scans would produce the same results. The Captain has a a really bad tumor. It’s still small and can be taken out.

Chris

The captain was a medical professional by training, and he would know if anything was problematic. Indeed, Symar had already lifted the veil of that, so to speak. There was no logic in keeping information from the captain. The data seemed conclusive.

“Captain,” Kastarak began, buying himself some extra time. He felt in his gutt an opposition to actually sharing this information with the captain, but he persevered: “The mass is in the left temporal sphere (OOC or some other region if you prefer, lol), rather small and localized. All indications so far show that it is a tumour, but it is intact and has not metastasized. With some precision beaming, we should be able to transport it out, once we’ve fully mapped it molecule for molecule and tripple-checked it. Given the novel technology for us, we would rather do more investigations, and that extra carefully than usual. However, the tumour needs to be removed by tomorrow at the latest, at this rate of growth it will disrupt vital functionings of the brain, and by that time, it will be too difficult to remove it intact without causing damage to the cerebral tissue.”

– Ensign Kastarak (counsellor / physician)

Symar knew he was distracted, “Ensign,” he said, thinking on his feet, “I would like you to oversee the transport, as an important element of your medical training,”
