“Doctor, wait,” said an NE Nurse, “Tricorder readings still show the viral-bacterial agent within the Commander’s body.”

“How high is the fever, right now?” She asked, pausing to look at the Nurse. If it got to high, it would begin to impact his brain, and she couldn’t have that.

“Holding at 41.5, doctor,” said the nurse, “It is having an immediate effect, doctor. Tricorder indicates the bacterial-viral infection agent has dropped by 12% in the Commander’s body.”

Ahearn leaned in and asked “Any particular areas of concentration?”

“No, the body temperature fever is not concentrated in one particular part of the body, sir,” said the NE Nurse.

“Well, that’s promising,” Ayla said softly, wishing they could just give her injection already. But they were right to be cautious since she could have more adverse affects than Erin. “Let’s try to duplicate it, shall we?”

Ahearn thought for a a few moments and watched the readings. His specialty wasn’t biology… or life sciences at all. But he had the knowledge enough to at least try to ‘think outside of the box’, as he dad had always told him when he got stuck on something. Where he did excel was physics, and it was that field that sparked an idea.

“We have a full genetic model of the foreign agent, correct?” and he lifted the PaDD he carried and began running some calculations. “And we have the chemical model?” he asked to add to his previous question. His mind began reviewing the correlation between chemistry and radiation types. “Alpha radiation can’t penetrate cell walls, but is still lethal to biological material if it gets inside the cell wall. We have a medication that is apparently working at getting into the targeted virus. We can add a Alpha radiation generator to the medication, and it would be released internally to the virus. That would destroy the cell in it’s entirety and prevent any mutations allowing it to adapt to the medication. The radioactive isotope would then either be flushed from the patient naturally; or we can simply use the transporter to move them from one spot to another. It will filter out the isotopes automatically.”

“Doctor, tricorder readings show a 100% viral bacterial elimination, though the Commander is dangerously close to brain damage, due to his fever,” said the nurse.

GM

Ahearn looked at the nurse blankly and then said “Not to overstep my bounds Nurse, but don’t you think maybe a chilling blanket might be in order? At least until the Commander can get some NSAIDs introduced?”
