“I’m so sorry,” Dradvia said as she walked in with the kitten in her arms. “I had some difficulty with the harness, and Simon got impatient with me.” Dradvia made sure to speak up just a little so Sisnil would hear her as she came in. As she got closer Simon let out the most pitiful ‘I’m a baby and need my daddy’ cry anyone had ever heard. Dradvia very carefully put the squirming kitten down on Sisnil’s chest. She made sure to put the leash in Sisnil’s hand before she let go.

Sisnil reached for him as soon as he heard his cry. It was as distinctive to him as an infant’s cry to its mother. It wouldn’t matter if she handed him the leash or not, though he did grip it tightly, because Simon immediately lay down in a curled up, purring heap on Sisnil’s chest.

Tealor removed his hand from his shoulder, in his mind ‘Your a betazoid my friend we are resilient’ he thought. ‘Your going to be ok’ he said and stepped over to check on his progress before leaving to take a break.

Dradvia took the vacated chair as Tessan stood. “Thank you,” she said quietly to him. She was sure having Simon would help Sisnil’s morale. Tessan looked tired, and she hoped he would rest.

She turned back to Sisnil and set a hand on his leg so as not to hamper his movement. With the other she gently oet that cat. “He’s really missed you. I… I hope it’s okay, I let him sleep with me a couple of times.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil smiled. “I love that you did that. I hate how lonely he must be.” He said, petting the kitten. His pets were slightly sloppy, either hitting the cat in the face gently, or the side, but Simon didn’t care in the slightest. He just kept purring and trying to lick Sisnil’s hands.

~ Zoi

It had only been twice that she had left to sleep, and only because she’d been ordered to do so. Dradvia would have slept in the chair given the option. She had left regularly to check on Simon though. Knowing Sisnil would prefer her to go into his room rather than anyone else, eased her guilt over leaving him. “I’ve checked on my a lot. I was worried he might get sick, but he’s eating and drinking. I’ve made sure.” She didn’t say anything else. Letting Sisnil enjoy having Simon around and to let the kitten become reassured that Sisnil was okay. He seemed to realize Sisnil was sick because he was very calm and very gentle.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

They could tell that Simon really helped, because Sisnil’s bio readings looked a little better. He would normally play a little too, but he couldn’t see, so he just pet Simon and talked cutely to him instead.

~ Zoi

“I brought some treats if you want to give him some,” Dradvia said. She had thought about a toy, but even without his blindness, Dradvia didn’t think he was strong enough yet. Besides, Simon didn’t look like he was going to get off Sisnil for awhile.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil nodded and held out his hand. Then he fed the kitten some treats by opening his hand and letting Simon take them. When he was out, Simon mewed loudly and cutely.

~ Zoi

Dradvia laughed and handed Sisnil a few more. “I think he’s earned a few extras.” Dradvia continued to research and look for answers and possibilities. She read over the other Medical cases, poured through the Betazoid Medical library. Anything and everything she could think of.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil fed them to him. When it was time, he didn’t want to let the cat go, trying to pull him into his arms, but the poison was still making him weak and moving hurt.

~ Zoi

Tealor walked back in, he looked more alert but he yawned just the same. He looked at the cat and wondered if Zoi knew the irony had him having a cat. “How is he doing?” Tealor asked as he walked over to the bed.

Sisnil looked happier and probably better, than Tessan had seen him since the poison. “I’m fine.” He said. “This is Simon… Please don’t make him leave.” Almost as if to add to that statement, Simon gave Tessan a cute look and mewed at him.

~ Zoi

Tealor smiled at the cat, “I don’t see why he can’t stay, you are the only one in her at the moment” he said in response. Having something familiar would be help full given his current contidion.

Dradvia smiled softly. The way Sisnil was with Simon was endearing. At least she thought so. “Simon is being very well behaved. I thought he would be trying to race around sickbay by now.” Dradvia turned the screen, “Mr. Zoi is doing very well Dr. Tessan. The Echatllin has dropped to 20 percent. There are three doses left of the normal treatment, and we’ll be able to administer a much higher dosage this time.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Excellent,” he said putting his han on Zoi’s shoulder. “Hows the pain?” he asked

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“It’s okay. It’s better,” Sisnil said. His readouts indicated it was better, but would still be very uncomfortable, like a 6/10 on the pain scale.

~ Zoi

It was better and that was a relief. “You are actually coming due for another dose of pain meds. I’ll get that for you. We can actually give you a slightly higher dose of that as well.” Dradvia wasn’t ready to release the force field though. Not until the Echallin was totally out of his system.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Ensign, ” he stopped her. “When you get back I’ll grab another does of the antidote.” he noted as he looked through some of the diagnostics around his pathways.

Sisnil continued to pet Simon, his hands resting on the kitten’s body, using small movements with his fingers to give pet. Unlike usual, he wasn’t hyper focused on what Tessan or Dee were doing, or anything else. Just Simon.

~ Zoi

Dradvia nodded, “Yes, Sir. I’ll be right back.” Dradvia stood up and stretched, twisting left and right and raising her arms over her head. She’d been sitting on that chair almost non-stop. She made her way to the pharmaceutical locker and opened. She withdrew the pain medication and the antidote for Dr. Tessan. She signed out the medication, and relocked the cabinet before returning.

She dialed in the dosage and prayed Sisnil’s arm. “I’m going to put this in your arm and give your neck a rest.” She pressed the hypo with the pain medication to his upper arm, just below his shoulder and dispensed it. She still felt they should continue the antidote the way they had been giving it however. She handed the vials of the antidote to Dr. Tessan.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Dee,” Sisnil said, as it had just occured to him. “Have you been sleeping?” He squeezed her hand, “You should rest.”

~ Zoi

“I told you I let Simon stay with me.” She hadn’t slept a lot. She had never been able to sleep when a patient needed her. She worried too much. It was worse with Sisnil.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor listened to the exchange, he was certain she had slept some, broken mostly in the chair next two his bed, though he never really checked to see if she was sleeping or just resting. He gave his additional does , placed his hand on Zoi’s shoulder. “I’ll be over her checking on some other patient files.” he noted and moved across the room.

“I know, but…” Sisnil couldn’t sense her right now, but he knew her. “I know you. I… I can’t sense you, Dee, so I’m gonna worry.”

~ Zoi

Dradvia slipped her hand over his. “I am tired, but I’m alright. I promised I wouldn’t leave you here without me. I’m not going to.” Especially now that his telepathy was ill. He wouldn’t sleep if he felt vulnerable and unsafe. So she would stay.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor was listening intently she seemed tired he was not going to force her to go get some rest but he could ask. “Ensign I’m here for the rest of the shift, he has the cat, I can keep him company.” he suggested

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Sisnil squeezed her hand gently. “You need to rest to do your job right. You should rest.”

~ Zoi

She knew if she became too tired, Tessan would force her to leave and rest. Dradvia knew she needed rest, but… “Are you sure?” she asked Sisnil quietly. “I promised not to leave you alone.” Except for Morris. Sisnil had begged her. “I won’t go if you don’t feel safe.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil squeezed her hand again and nodded. “It’s okay. I’ll feel better knowing you’re not making yourself sick over me.” He said softly.

~ Zoi

Dradvia was conflicted, but she knew she needed to get some sleep. He couldn’t see her chew her bottom lip in indicision. “You can comm me any time okay? For you or for Simon. Okay?” She didn’t want him to stress over her and work himself up. She also didn’t want him to stress himself by being afraid to be alone.

As sure as she could be that Sisnil was sure she agreed. “Okay, just a couple of hours.” She turned to look over her shoulder. “Dr. Tessan? I… I guess I’ll go get some sleep.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor stood and walked over to her, he placed a hand on her shoulder, not really thinking about it.. “I’ll keep in company, he wont be a lone for a second, get some rest i’ll call you if anything changes.” he said and then walked past her siting next to Zoi he rested a hand on his shoulder. “Why don’t I tell you about home” he said.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Sisnil sighed, and Tessan felt a certain forlorness. “I can’t go there, you know.”

~ Zoi

Tealor looked at him a little strange. “Why not?” He said “You are batazoid all are welcome” he noter

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“Yeah, I’m sure they’d take great to someone who’s committed multiple taboos against their culture,” Sisnil commented sharply.

~ Zoi

Tealor looked at him their culture was very forgiving, given his situation they would likely let him around. “You might be surprised, ” he said. “Home is different than most places.”

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“Your home,” Sisnil emphasised. “I happen to be of a certain ancestry. Doesn’t make a place I’ve never been home.” He shrugged though, “That’s not to say I’m not… A tiny bit curious.”

~ Zoi

Tealor looks at him, his hand squeezes his shoulder.. “You are a Batazoid my friend. You always have a home even if you don’t know it.” he said “You will love it there, some of the animals are telepathic as well, they can send simple emotions back.” he says. “It’s an experience” he said.

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“They are?” Sisnil asked, genuinely surprised and curious. “Simon is like a simple person, he has them, but he can’t send them or anything.”

~ Zoi

“Its kind of ironic that you have a cat, the Caitians used to eat our people..lol” he said scratching Simon behind the ears. ” I spent a lot of time on earth so I love cats.”

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“You’re kidding… Right?” Sisnil said. It sounded ridiculous to him. Simon mewed and tried to lick Tessan’s fingers.

~ Zoi

“Fraid not, we were considered a delacacy and a hunters challenge” he said scratching under simons chin, which was oddly satisfying. “Can I get you anything to eat or drink?”

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“Well, that adds a level of irony to some things,” he said softly. He shook his head, he didn’t feel hungry or thirsty, and the idea of moving his body to eat and drink felt impossible.

~ Zoi

He looked at him and noticed his look of disgust. “I figured you would not want something, but I thought I would ask, you can be” he said “Stuborn” he said with a little laugh. “So I thought I would check”

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Sisnil shrugged. “Maybe if I didn’t still feel like a corpse on fire.”

~ Zoi

He gave Sisnil’s shoulder a soft squeeze, “I’m sorry Son, I should not make light, ” he said glancing at his stats

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

“I’d rather light be made than everybody act like I’m dying,” he replied. His vitals were stable, he was still in pain, and his heart rate was high, but Tessan could tell that was due to the anxiety being without his telepathy and vision caused.

~ Zoi

Dradvia did go sleep, but she didn’t sleep much. She was too worried, and too exhausted to sleep well or for very long. She returned about 3 hours later. A bit rested, and she’d eaten. She was hesitant to enter sickbay. What if something had happened while she was gone? She wouldn’t sense it, and unless Tessan called her she wouldn’t know.

But Simon was still there, curled up asleep on Sisnil, and Dr. Tessan was sitting next to him talking quietly with his hand on Sisnil’s shoulder. She walked over. “How are you feeling?”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Dee?” He asked, as if he wasn’t sure. Then he repeated what he’d said to Tessan: “Like a corpse on fire.”

~ Zoi

“Yes, it’s me.” She set her hand on his while she checked his current scans. “I suggest we give you a booster of the beta blocker. Your body is still having trouble regulating its temperature.” Dradvia lowered the ambient temperature of the biobed to help.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil nodded. “Okay.” He said, and as the temperature of the biobed went down, his body began to shiver, thinking he was too cold. The beta blocker would help with that.

~ Zoi

“It’s been about three hours Ensign, lets have a look at the poison shall we” he said standing too his feet. I drew some blood and moved to the to the analyzer

Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Dradvia helped get the blood sample and then gave Sisnil a dose of the betablockers. She sat down next to him, careful not to jar Simon. “Has he slept the whole time?”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Not the whole time, but he’s laid here the whole time.” Sisnil said. “He knows I’m not well. I can sense his worry whenever I’m not well.” He paused a moment, “I miss that now.”

~ Zoi

“I know you do.” She rubbed his arm gently. “You’ll get it back. Until then, we’ll all be really specific and clear okay?” She hoped Tessan’s blood tests would show positive results.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil nodded. Tessan’s blood tests showed the poison in his system had further decreased to 8%. It was nearly gone.

~ Zoi

Tealor could not help but let out a little sigh of relief, “Down, to 8%, we are almost through the hardest part” he noted moving around to the other side of his bed. “What do you think ensign , thing it’s safe to give him one more does, or should we let it finish it’s course?” he asked
