“Ensign , do you need a break?” he asked “You have been at this for a while. ” he himself had little energy, he was putting on a better show of it but the truth was he felt awefull and as if to signify. “Sh..” he said as his nose started bleeding heavily, he did not wait to be told to sit down taking the close seat he could grab, “Help” he said

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

Dradvia rushed around Sisnil’s biobed. She grabbed a cloth and pressed firmly under his nose. With the other she flipped open her tricorder. “This is getting worse, you have to stop.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

The tri-corder read the same as it did before no change infact the reading seemed better than last time. He reached up and took the rag. “Ice pack, and you know I can’t, I won’t” he said his tone firm. His head was splitting the light in the room was hurting his eyes.

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

Sisnil caught on right away at that point. “You can’t help me if you hurt yourself trying to keep this barrier. Let it go, Tealor,” he said, in what was as close to his captain-y voice as he could manage right then.

~ Zoi

“No” was all he said, he knew it was not the barrier that was causing it, it was something else, in fact as he got close and didn’t have to use as much power it got worse. It wasn’t strain it was something else, but what it was he was not sure.

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

Dradvia got an ice pack and gave it to Tessan. “Sisnil, didn’t you tell me that some non-telepaths protect their thoughts? Could you do that for… an hour? So Dr. Tessan could get some rest?” She needed Tesssan to not hurt himself. From her sessions she knew that Tessan was on par in telepathic strength with Sisnil. Though Sisnil had some training and skill Tessan did not have. She wished she could snap her fingers and heal Sisnil’s brain. Maybe he could help Tessan. He shouldn’t be getting constant nose bleeds.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor took the ice and placed it on his nose and kept his head tilted back. im not a child, I know what im doing, they need to stop babying me the unusual thoughts flowed around in his mind as anger began to swell inside him

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

“They can,” Sisnil said, “But I can’t. It’s too much effort.” He turned his head toward Tessan, based on sound. “Please, rest. It may not be the main cause, but letting it go would help.”

~ Zoi

Tealors hand came down hard on the counter, in an uncharacteristic grit of his teeth, he held back the yell. “This is not up for debate!” he growled .”Let it go”. He shifted the ice pack on his nose a little trying to find a good spot that helped. He had sent a note back home asking about it but, so far no one had responded back with anything that panned out.

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

“Yes, Sir.” Sisnil didn’t have to see her or feel her to know her posture had suddenly become small and submissive. To Tessan she looked normal and disappeared from his notice. She hurried around Sisnil bed. She looked at his readings and began preparing a hypo cocktail. “Vitamin infusion and a lymphocytes booster. It will help your body handle the strain of accelerating healing.” She pressed the hypo to his arm and then turned her gaze back to the viewer to start another neuro regeneration session.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor sunk back into the chair, what was that he thought thats not like me he looked through his thoughts trying to figure out what’s going on, “I’m sorry, I don’t know ,,, Ahh” he said tumbling to the floor blood now pouring out of his nose. He tried hard to stay awake.

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

“Call another doctor, do one of your medic scans,” Sisnil told her. “Now.”

~ Zoi

Dradvia was going to have a nervous break down. They were both angry and she really wasn’t sure which one she should drfy. She couldn’t obey them both. She was going to hyperventilate. “I… I did do a scan,” she whispered. “Two of them.”

“Dradvia, some help please” he said softly staggering back to his knees, the blood had slowed again, the front of his uniform now covered in it. The barrier was still up, he pressed into it more, which seemed to take the edge off.

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

Dradvia hurried around. She was absolutely afraid of him now. This quick flash back and forth, in and out of anger. It wasn’t like Dr. Tessan. Unpredictability was dangerous. She didn’t want to go near him, but she did. She helped him up. “Yes Sir?”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Ensign, I’m sorry, I’m not myself” he said his eyes close, “Something is really wrong,” he said, laying down on the floor

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

Dradvia didn’t say anything. She helped him lower to the floor and then, Kgnan and another nurse came and lifted him up onto a biobed. They turned it on and began running basic scans.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor was awake but did not fight what was going on, truth was he was really scared, whatever was happening to him was a mystery and it was getting worse. The basic scan showed what the tricord showed elevated activity in the center of his brain that used telepathy, swelling etc.

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

Selfishly, Sisnil was worried about himself. With Tessan sick, that could slow down his treatment, and that could make more of the damage permanent. He didn’t say anything though. As much as he feared for himself, he was also worried for the doctor. It frustrated him to no end that all he could do was lay there, unable to do anything for himself.

~ Zoi

Deadvia gave orders for Kgnan to give Tessan a stronger anti-inflammatory and take a blood sample for the lab. Then she returned to Sisnil. She slipped her hand into his. It was more for her than for him. He could feel the tremble in it. “Do you think you would want a smoothy or a milkshake before I do more neuro regeneration?”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil gave her hand a slight squeeze. She would barely feel it. “No, I don’t want anything,” he said. “Just hurry and do it.”

~ Zoi

Dradvia held his hand tightly. She was scared too. “After this one you have to eat. Your body needs the energy. You could get worse if you don’t.”

Ten or so minutes later the scans showed that the swelling had gone done, and the ice made it feel way better. He rolled her legs off the bed and sat there for a few minutes. Looking at Sisnil and Dradvia, “Ensign, I’m,” he said, “I’m really sorry that was horribly inappropriate.” He did not ask for forgiveness she would give it or she would not. “Did you see anything on the scans?” he asked.

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

Dradvia was unsure of what to say. She knew it wasn’t like Tessan. “Just the severe swelling and elevated activity. The blood test is not back yet.” She wanted him to lay down. But she was afraid to insist.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor could read the hesitation, he pulled his legs back up onto the bed. “Is there anything else, you can think of to do?” he asked. His head hurt to much to ask.

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

Yes, but he had refused an inhibitor. “No. I will, I will look into it. For now the anti-inflammatory seems to be helping. I suggest you stay on that until we know more.” Her voice was quiet and cautious, but no less professional and thoughtful. She couldn’t look into it right at that moment. She couldn’t stop in the middle of a regeneration session. That would be bad for Sisnil. He would have to eat after this one. That would give her time to look into Tessan’s symptoms. She wasn’t a neurologist though. Her training had all been general medicine. She knew enough to recognize if something was wrong and call in a neurologist, but they didn’t have one.

Morris was a doctor. Maybe she would have to go speak to him.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor wanted her to focus on what she was doing, the sooner he was able to take over his own protection even for a few hours it would give him a break. “Ok Ensign, im going to rest, we can do a deep nurro scan on me once you’ve rested, I can walk you through it. It will be a good training exercise for you.” He said leaning back and closing his eyes. “Im going to meditate a while”

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

Sisnil’s eyes were closed. The regeneration didn’t hurt, not now that the poison was gone, but it was strangely exhausting. He squeezed Dee’s hand again. “Everything will be fine.”

~ Zoi

She squeezed his hand back briefly..she set his hand on her leg near her knee. She needed both hands for the work. “I know,” she whispered. It bothered her though in many ways and not just trauma induced ones. “You can sleep if you like while I work. It will be a bit.”

Sisnil shook his head, he didn’t want to sleep, but soon after, she left his grip on her leg drop as he dozed off.

Another two hours later, Dradvia stopped. She’d had Kgnan go to the mess and bring a protein shake for Sisnil, in a flavor he liked. And a meal for Tessan as well. Kgnan brought her food as well. She sat down and began eating gratefully. “Did the blood work come back Kgnan?”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

As she finished and there was activity in the room, Sisnil woke. “Are you done?” He asked tiredly.

~ Zoi

“For now,” Dradvia said. She sounded tired. Tessan could see it. As Kgnan removes the frame, Dradvia slowly raises the bed. “I know you are tired but you have to eat.” She took Sisnil’s arms and supported them with pillows and rolled blankets. Then she wrapped his hands around the cup. “Protien shake. There’s a straw.”

Sisnil sipped the protein shake slowly. It took him a long time to find the straw. Even though it was a flavor he liked, he had a hard time wanting any of it.

Dradvia kept a hand on his arm. “After you finish, get some rest. Then we’ll do more. I know you’re ready to get better.”

Tealor took the meal gratefully, “Thank you” he said to Kgnan. Sadly the blood work just showed the same thing that the basic scans did elevated Psilosynine, as well as various stress hormones. Tealor was feeling much better, “I’m feeling better now, The ice seems to help the most.”

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

Kgnan nodded, “Of course Doctor.”

“Your cortisol levels are very high. A round of Osilodrostat will help block production. That might make a difference,” Dradvia said.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

~ Zoi

The drug did its work and within 20 minutes the cortisol levels dropped.. and then the hear it. Tealor let out a blood curling scream that sent fear and shock into everyone in the room. His hands were clutching his head and he was shaking violently..

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

“Dr. Tessan!?” Dradvia got up from the stool where she was sitting with Sisnil and hurried to the other biobed. Kgnan was holding him gently to the bed. Dradvia looked at the readings on the displays. “Prep me a hypo of hydrocodone.” If she had to she might have to induce a coma.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Basic scans showed that his system was close to normal, there was little reason for him to be in so much pain.

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

Dradvia gave him the pain medication. “Kgnan, start a complete neurological work up. Let’s get the lab to rerun his blood work looking for viruses, parasites, and bacteria that are not normally picked up on basic tests…”

Dradvia walked over to the cabinet and returned with a hypo. It was a crazy idea… “Dr. Tessan I’m going to try and raise your cortisol level a bit by giving you a counter agent for the Osilodrostat. You may be having a negative reaction to it.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor gave a small nod, anything that might stop the pain. He did not say anything. The blue lines of the neuro scanner criss crossed across his face, he looked scared and helpless something no one on the ship had ever really seen. The field returned nothing, at first it looked like it was another dead end, and then a shimmer of something deep in the paracortex.

The computer locked onto the foreign source and enhanced, possible parasitic organism detected. Like a ripple through water it seemed to react to the scanners enhancement of the area. The organism was nanoscopic and appeared to be just slightly phase shifting as the sensors tried to lock on. nanoscopic spider web like filaments invaded every corner of his paracortex and seemd to pulse with his telepathy as it worked to keep Sisnil’s mind guarded.

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

“Kgnan get me the interphasic scanner,” Dradvia said. She glanced over at Sisnil. Could he have it too? She would have to scan him next.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

The scan showed similar to what the other had only this time the parasite was clear, and still pulsing as his brain activated the telepathic centers. It had completely invaded his paracortex the tentacles appeared to extend into the spine as well and were wrapped around his upper spinal column. As it came into clear focus, it constricted the spinal column and Tealor began to scream in pain and convulse. It was like it knew Dradvia was watching it.

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

Dradvia turned the scanner off for the moment. “Dr. Tessan, Tealor?” she said his name firmly setting a hand on his arm. “Computer give me a list of multi-phasic parasites and their treatments.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor stopped convulsing when the scanner went off, “I’m ok” was all he managed but he was out of breath. He tried to reach for her hand but his body was too weak..
“Results complete” Cam the voice of the computer.

Dradvia set a hand on his arm above his wrist. “Try to breath, slowly.”

Dradvia looked over the list. “Dr. Tessan you have a multiphasic parasite. It’s integrated through your entire paracortex and your brain stem. I need you to tell me all of your symptoms.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor looked numb from the diagnosis. “Um, ” he said blushing horribly as he was still very embarrassed by his out burst. “Irritability that I can’t control, emotions too, I cried for almost an hour last night for no real reason.” he thought some more, cold seems to really help and the more I use my talents the better I feel. a small tool suddenly went flying of the counter top across the room. “Then there is that” he said in relation. “Then there’s the nose bleeds” he said.

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

That narrowed it down some. “Computer what are the tests for identifying the specific multiphasic parasite in a patient?”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“Very little information is available for the parasites listed, though none of the mentioned parasites match the parasite currently present in the scans.” The computer chimed, it was apparent she was going to have to conduct some trial and error tests.

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

It appeared to be reacting to how much Tessan was using his telepathy.... She turned the scanner back on. “Dr. Tessan, I need you to expend your telepathy to its max for just…3 seconds.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor was not sure how to do that so he just decided to extend the protection of Sisnil.. he pushed hard , the parasite pulsed as he did glowing in response. And for 3 seconds everyone within 100 yards was protected from thought I trust on and felt happy.

The pain relief was visible on his face.

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

“I know you don’t want to do this, but I need you to stop all telepathy for as long as you can. I need to see what it does,” Dradvia explained.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer
Tealor shook his head no. “I know what it does, ill lower it to a trickle he is close enough. And its going to hurt like hell.” He noted

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

Dradvia knew, but she needed scans. She saw what it did in response to less food. She needed to know what it did with no food. She sighed. Doctors were terrible patients. But she understood as well.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil was close, so it would not take much to shield him from this distance, in fact he had been over doing it because it made his head feel better. As the readings dropped in his cortex the creature began to first try to stimulate the telepathic area’s of the brain, then it became more aggressive and began applying more pressure, which caused Eli’s nose to start bleeding horribly again. The pain clearly worsening has he strained to reduce the power in his mind.

As he dropped even father the creature tightened its’s grip on his spinal cords, Tealor started convulsing and shaking, bio bed alarms started sounding. His heart started racing, Kgnan spoked up. “AMI, He’s arresting”

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

Dradvia set both hands on his face and looked into his eyes, “Tealor, stop! Don’t fight it.”

The moment Tealor stopped fighting his heart fell back into rythm and his pain decreased. “Lets not do that again” he said.

She administered a mild muscle relaxer and a small booster for the pain. Dradvia was out of her element. Starving it was a viable option, normally, but it would kill Tessan that way. If she could isolate the paracortex from the rest of the body…and use drachtal beams to separate the area of the spine that was infected from the rest....

Dradvia read over the other information. It was similar to a few of them. “Computer can you isolate the pattern of the parasite?”

While Tessan rested and the computer worked Dradvia moved back to Sisnil. “Sisnil, I need to do a multiphaseic neural scan. Tessan has a parasite infecting his paracortex. I need to make sure you don’t have it as well.” She squeezed his hand. His body couldn’t take anything else. “I didn’t see anything while I was doing your neural regeneration, but I want to make sure.”
Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“It’s a physical parasite, right? So he’d have to spread it to me by some kind of touch?” Sisnil asked. There was a note of nervousness in his voice. A psilosynine eating parasite would mean less psilosynine to heal his brain with. He squeezed her hand.

~ Zoi

“Yes, maybe. I’m not sure yet. But I’m going to check.” Dradvia lowered his bed and slid the neural scanner over the bed and set the parameters. The scan finished and she squeezed his hand. “No parasite.” She turned to Tessan. “You can’t treat him until we know how it spreads and how to remove it.”

Tealor nodded he did not like the idea of not helping. “Perhaps I can consult?” he asked.

She turned back to Sisnil. “I can do another session half hour after you finish your shake.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil eyed the not even half empty shake. “After I finish it? Dee, we’ll be here for a month.”

~ Zoi

“Then we will be. Your body needs the nutrients. I can’t do more if your body doesn’t have the energy to handle it.” She was taking no nonsense about it.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil sipped a little more of the protein shake. “Can’t we start with half of it or something?” He complained.

~ Zoi

“You can eat as slow as you like, but I still can’t do another session until you’ve had enough nutrient intake. It could cause more damage. If your stomach is bothering you. Stop for awhile.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil pouted at her. “But I want to get better.” He said. His stomach was bothering him, the days of not eating making him need to readjust to intaking things normally again.

~ Zoi

“I know.” She rubbed his arm. “I want you to get better, so I won’t risk doing anything to jeopardize that.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

The computer finally chimed in “Unable to obtain lock after 50 attempts, subject phase is shifting, no pattern detected”

“Well that’s not good,” Tealor said his head feeling a little better, “Ice would be amazing?” he asked to no one in particular. He looked at Sisnil, “Well son, looks like you and I get to be roomies for a bit.” he noted, “Trapped in a room with a counselor how fun for you.” he said laughing wiping the blood off his face.

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

“I swear I will find a way to march myself out of this room,” Sisnil vowed, eyeing the direction of Tessan’s voice.

~ Zoi

Dradvia gave a small inner sigh. “Kgnan get Dr Tessan some ice and a wet cloth and a clean shirt. Erect an aseptic field around buobed 2. Then convert the table to the extra biobed.”

“You will stay put.” Dradvia said putting a hand on his arm using that tone he liked so much.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor laughed.. ” now you done it” he looked at him for a second. You should finish that shake while your at it, ” tealor smirked as he sat up in bed

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

“I think I’ll throw up if I try,” Sisnil groaned, pushing it away a little bit. He set a hand over Dee’s. “I’m okay. Promise.”

~ Zoi

“No, you are not, but you will be if you listen.” She took the cup and set it to the side. “If it’s too much, wait for a bit and try again. If the discomfort doesn’t settle in a couple of minutes, I will give you something,” Dradvia patted his arm. She honestly didn’t expect him to finish the whole thing in one go. But Dradvia knew that giving him a firm line would ensure Sisnil ate. In the meantime it gave his body more time to rest.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

“What about the brain treatment? When can you do that?” Sisnil asked, wanting his telepathy back. It was more important to him than his sight.

~ Zoi

“30 minutes after you finish eating.” Dradvia wouldn’t be able to do much for Sisnil’s eyes. That would require surgery, and that had to wait until he was stronger.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil reached for the drink. Except he knocked it over and it spilled all over the floor instead. “Deeeeee,” he complained.

~ Zoi

“It’s okay. What do you want instead?” Kgnan brought her a cloth and Dradvia quickly cleaned up the spill. The cleaning routine would get the rest.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Sisnil shrugged. “Nothing is really appetizing. It’s like I haven’t remembered how to be hungry.”

~ Zoi

“Just wait a bit. What about just something to drink, to sip on?” Dradvia asked.

Sisnil shook head head.

Tealor smiled , he wanted zoi to get better soon, not just for zoi ,but so he himself could sleep. He had not slept in weeks “Try freezing the shakes it makes the go down easier, ill take one too while your at it, and can i get a PaDD i want to call someone”

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

Dradvia looked at Kgnan who nodded. Those two were going to be a handful for the poor doctor. “We can put up a privacy field if you like Dr. Tessan.”

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor could feel the tention he had pushed out to feeling for emotions he needed it zoi was to close and too easy to cover. “I can manage that from the Padd, thank you doctor” he switched from calling her by rank since he was a patient now. Taking the Padd He erected the field, but there was no answer, so he wrote.

Hi Reya, I know you have already gotten an alert that i’m in sickbay, it’s bad please don’t come I’m not sure you can help. Please do call though i’m actually pretty scared, I’m also looking for an update on the trip we had been talking about. love you and who knows maybe i’ll get a vacation out of all this The last part about the trip was code, he had her quietly looking into Zoi’s case, the two of them had a way of talking about things without talking about them. He frowned he had been hoping to talk to her, he wanted to be strong for Zoi and Dravida, and he would be, but internally he was terrified if this thing kept up the way it was it would kill him or burn out his abilities which was almost the same. He lowered the field but did not say much, instead he started doing his daily paperwork, he did not want to burden anyone with that.

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

“Maybe I could try the shake again,” Sisnil said, mostly just wanting to hurry up and get treatment.

~ Zoi

Dradvia kept an eyes on them both, but there wasn’t much she could do. She had the computer running a search for similar symptoms and diagnosis. She had put a request to a top infectious disease specialist for help. Dradvia picked up the cup and helped him find it. “I’m going to give you a hypo for nausea too just to help for a bit.” She pressed the hypo to his shoulder and rubbed it gently. She knew he wanted her to hurry, and she was doing the best she could.

Ens. Dradvia, Medical Officer

Tealor looked her Dradvia she seemed to be worried. “Doctor, I’m feeling much better” he lied slightly better was not exactly right but he was not currently in pain. Hopefully the results will yield something,” he wasn’t, “Until then the bio bed has me, focus on your other paitent I’ll be ok” he said.

“So Mr Zoi, ” he said. “I’m telling you freeze these shakes it’s like eating a desert.”

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

Sisnil sipped the shake. “Right now I just want to hurry up and drink it so she’ll fix me,” he said.

~ Zoi

Tealor knew the man must be going crazy, and would never admit it especially with Dradvia listening. Tealor looked at him and smiled. “I can imagine” he noted.

How are you really, just think I’ll hear it, with this stupid bug in my head it makes me feel better he thought to Zoi

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

You’re an empath, you shouldn’t have to ask, Sisnil replied. He was exhausted and weak and his inability to do anything was driving him absolutely insane. His lack of telepathy and vision made him feel disconnected, isolated, and extremely lonely. Not to mention useless and so very vulnerable.

~ Zoi

I know, but I prefer to ask, there is something about the person admitting their feelings, I have recently started listening all the time though, I find it helps me drive or force the issue if I wanted to he thought looking over the day’s schedule. _ I don’t think it will be much longer, Dradvia is a skilled doctor, better than me at somethings, and I must say, you are holding up very well given your situation_ He stopped a second. _I know you both think I should sleep and leave you exposed for a short time, but I can’t do it, you understand why? _

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

I do, but I already owe you a great deal. I’m aware you won’t see it that way, but to the Syndicate, a debt is a BIG deal. Sisnil sipped the shake a little more, the meds Dee had given him helping him to feel hungrier, or at least not feel ill after having some. You should always listen. You don’t have to be intrusive to listen a little.

~ Zoi

I guess i enjoy finding out from people who they are in thier own voice. As to the debt I can see how thats a problem, though the Syndicate is already trying to kill you and I certainly will not call on that dept, or at least I can think of a reason I would need to he said for waiting a moment, I mean if it would make you feel better you can pay me back by attending regular sessions with me, and being honest. Ill credit you for your time he laughed internally

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

Tessan could feel Sisnil’s scowl. Consider it granted. He said, and Tessan could also feel the veracity and weight of his words. Sisnil had given a promise; it would never be broken.

~ Zoi

_ maybe so son but it was a joke, though I do want the sessions they will not help you, or her if they are forced_ he thought,
Dr Tealor Tessan
Chief Medical Officer U.S.S Wolverine

Your request was that I go and be honest, now, obviously you can’t make me want to, but the spirit of the request would be to honestly try. He said. In the Syndicate, your word is everything. If the Syndicate has to intervene because you broke a promise… There was a sense of dark dread almost. Well, let’s just say I’ve been the mediator before.

~ Zoi

_hmm while im sure you life has had more positive moments, im sorry you have had to endure those things. Proceed how it suits your conscious

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

Sisnil gave a little shrug as he drank more of the shake. It was actually almost gone. That’s just how life is.

~ Zoi

_maybe so, but you have hand an unjust allotment, _he noted ,

_you handle if well Sisnil ,but if you an Dradvia are to have something that is more than just common pain, you have to find a way to become more, as does she. _ he shifted in his bed

. To be frank, im not sure im going to be around much longer to help the both of you, so if you really want to pay a dept, then pay it by ,doing the hard work of dealing with the past , her as well, and live a good life

I don’t understand what I’m supposed to be dealing with, Sisnil replied, and then rolled his eyes, And you are not going to die. You’re earning her trust, don’t you dare think you can leave now just because of a brain bug.

Tealor sighed I must be mistaken then, he said lacking the energy to argue. we rarely get to choose our time he noted.

Lacking his telepathy and empathy, Sisnil still didn’t understand and felt frustrated about it. He finished his shake and shrugged. Fine. Give up and die.

~ Zoi

I’m not giving up, plan to do everything I can to survive, but the survival rate of a parasite like this is next to 0% they will only typically leave upon death. He thought I’m simply being real

You don’t even know which parasite it is. Sisnil replied. You’re being pessimistically ‘real’. What is the survival rate of echtallin? Yet I am here.

~ Zoi

That is a fair point, though it’s the very fact that we don’t know anything about it that raises its’s lethality. But you are right he conceded , you should not be here and yet you are

Sisnil huffed. “Are you sure I have to stay in here with pessimist McGee? Can’t you tell him he’s not dying?” Sisnil complained aloud.

~ Zoi

“Yes, you have to stay. I can put up a privacy field if you want,” Dradvia said. Then she looked at both of them in turn. A stubborn steeliness to her. “No. One. Is. Dying.”

She took Sisnil’s cup and set it aside. “27 minutes and we’ll start the next session.” Kgnan handed her a glass of cold water and she gratefully took it.

The time passed quickly. Sisnil didn’t put up a privacy field, but he also didn’t want to talk about dying with Tessan. Though Dee’s declaration of no death seemed to stop that conversation anyway.

~ Zoi

“Alright, we’re going to get started.” His bed began to lower. “Do you want an audio book or music to listen to?” she asked.

Kgnan and another nurse lifted the surgical frame into place. Once Sisnil was settled, Dradvia began working. After half an hour she paused. “That takes care if your paracortex. Your Psilosynine levels are low though from your brain healing itself. The study said your brain will use your Psilosynine to try and heal the other damage. I’m going to work on your occipital lobe now. So hopefully your brain won’t use all your Psilosynine for those repairs. You should start having some flickers of telepathic sensation soon. It will get stronger as your levels go up.”

“Finally,” he breathed softly. He seemed exhausted though. Like he was struggling to keep his eyes open. “Okay, Dee, I’m ready.”

~ Zoi

“You can sleep. You don’t have to be awake for the proceedure.” Dradvia took a moment to hold his hand. Then she went back to work. She focused on the occipital lobe and the optic nerve. There wasn’t much she could do. The damage was severe, but she did what she could until she had to stop.

By the time she did, he was asleep. But as they removed the frame, the movement woke him. He seemed really sleepy and tired. “Dee? How does it look?” He asked.

~ Zoi

She set a hand on his shoulder as she slid onto her seat. “I did what I could. I’ll try again, but the damage to your eyes is too severe. You’ll need alternative solutions. I’ll work on the rest of your nervous system next time as well. How are you feeling?”
