*** SickBay * USS Chimera *** "Have you seen anything like this?" Scott asked.An apprehensive expression clouded his usually cheerful face as he looked down at Rangi standing beside him. She shook her head. "No I havent." She took two steps towards the nearest biobed and looked up at the overhead display.Scott followed her. "To all intents and purposes, he's sleeping." she said, reading Ensign Alheros monitored biosigns. "Theres nothing there to cause concern." Scott walked past to take a place beside the next biobed upon which one of the Vulcan officers lay. "I always have to look twice at these readings." he said partly to himself. He glanced at Rangi as she joined him, but agreed with her statement. " Taking Vulcan physiology into account.." he said, looking at some of the dangerously low readings displayed "....he's in fine health." "And the stimulant had no effect..." Scott picked up a medpadd and handed to Rangi saying as he did so.. " No...you'll see a slight increase in heart rate...but then he seemed to compensate for it....in a half a minute he was as he is now." Rangi looked at the motionless figure on the bed in front of her then switched on the medpadd and read the recent history for herself. "Do you want to try another 2 ccs?" Scott asked as she switched the padd off. "No.." Rangi replied. "There's got to be some reason they're in this state...we should at least try to discover what it is before we drag them out of it." She looked at the padd in her hand and moved to side step him. Scott took it from her, turned and set it in its place."We need to look deeper then." he said, turning back to her. "Yes..." She considered for a moment and ran her right hand across her hair, holding it at the base of her neck for a second. "Run a cerebral spectrum analysis on all of them. Get Mercedes and Steve to help you. It might show us something." Scott gave a nod."You're going back to the Bridge." It was more a statement than question. "I have to." she replied, glancing around at the patients.She turned her head and remet his look. Scott gave a small smile. "Ok..I'll keep you updated with everything." "Do that...thankyou." He watched her walk to the door and exit sickbay, knowing she wished herself able to remain. * Turbo Lift * "Bridge." Rangi said as the doors slid shut. The turbolift moved smoothly away, increasing its speed as Rangi leaned back against the wall and closed her eyes. The time was nearing the thirty minutes she had allowed herself before deciding on a definate course of action, but still there was no word from either away team and she knew it was too tempting and too easy to say 'another five minutes'. The lift slowed and stopped, the door slid open and Rangi walked onto the Bridge. "Lieutenant Foster....modulate the shield frequency." Andersen acknowleded her order,turned away and tapped at his console. A moment later, it was done. *** End Log *** LtCmdr Summers CMO/AXO USS Chimera & Ltjg Scott Fisher AMO USS Chimera (npc) Rangi
