=/\= Begin Log =/\= Athena tried to hold on and keep her head up as the general carried her to sickbay. She was feeling hot but beginning to shiver again and her head was beginning to ache. In an effort to settle her stomach she closed her eyes and laid her aching head on Keylor's shoulder. A look of displeasure clouded Rangis face as she made her way back into the main sickbay. Lucy Sally and another technician were clearing the floor of the bowls used to catch the drips. sally rung out her mop in its bucket. "Thankyou for your help Sally." Rangi said "That was an unpleasant job." Sally nofdded agreement, hoisted her bucket and carried it away . {Look at it!} Rangi thought {Just look...what a mess. 'Ready to Roll?} she asked herself, quoting Scotts words { That was tempting fate wasn't it!!} The main door slid open causing her to turn at the sound. She expected another engineer at least and was surprised to see general Bretam stagger through the doorway with a figure in his arms. Rangi walked quickly towards them. "General?" she asked in surprise and then, recognising the scantily clad woman he carried added "Athena?" She pointed to the biobed. "Put her there...carefully." Athena gave a soft moan when she was laid down on a cool biobed. She opened her eyes and then squinted against the bright light. She heard the general say something to someone. She closed her eyes against the light and concentrated on taking slow even breaths as she tried to convince her body that it was fine. The general explained the circumstances as far as he understood them to Rangi who began a scan of the counselor. "She's dehydrated and very weak ." Rangi said glancing up at the biosigns displayed in the overbed screen. "Good job you found her when you did Sir." Bretam nodded and said, "Keep me informed," before he left. Athena squinted against the bright lights again as she tried to see who was there. Her hand went to her temple to ease the pounding there. She shiver against the cool breeze she felt travel over her skin as she rasped out, "Water, Please?" "I'll get some...lay still Athena " rangi said quietly and hurried to the replicator.She stood for a second or so looking at the machine, took a deep breath and requested " A jug of cool water..with a glass." A moment later her request was satisfied. She lifted a small tray and looked at the contents. {It 'seems' ok} she thought carrying it to the biobed.{Lets hope it is!} She set the tray down and poured a glass of the crystal clear liquid which she held up to the light, sniffed and satisfied all was well, said to Athena "Here you are...water." She set the glass next to the jug and helped Athena sit up. "There you are...dont drink it all at once." Athena nodded and gave a soft wince because of her aching head and then sipped some of the cool drink. It made a cold path that ran down her throat briefly. She gently rubbed the drop that was running down her chin. As the water hit her stomach a coolness spread throughout her body making her feel hot and she laid back down. Rangi administered a small cocktail of drugs, explaining to Athena what they were and why she needed them. She knew that the counselor wasnt really registering what she was being told. As the coolness of the water in her system subsided she began to shiver making her head ache all the more and she closed her eyes to hide the amount of pain she was in. {If only my head would stop aching a little and then I could go to sleep. "This last one is a painkiller Athena." Rangi said, pressing the hypospray against Athenas neck. "Its also a light sedative...you'll feel sleepy soon and alot more comfortable. When you wake up you'll feel much better. Just relax." Athena heard a soft hiss through the pounding in her head. It wasn't long before the pain in her head eased and bit and she began to feel very sleep. She felt strange though as if she were trying to breath while someone sat on her chest. As she concentrated on her breathing red dots began to break out everywhere that could be seen. Rangi cleared the used phials away, set the hypospray back into its tray and began to write up the treatment Athena had been given.Without warning a loud 'bleeping' alarm sounded and glancing quickly at the biosign display, Rangi saw that the counselors blood pressure was rising rapidly. Quickly grasping the hypospray again, Rangi clicked in another phial thinking as she did so { She shouldnt have had a reaction to that....her sensitivity must be on the line} The harder she concentrated on her breathing the tight and tight her chest seemed to become. She kept her eyes closed and struggled with the deep even breathing she'd been keeping. A loud bleeping echoed through her still aching head. She wanted to scream but only shut her eyes tighter and a tear rolled from the corner of her eye down the side of her face. And then the weight on her chest lightened; She took a calming breath and let her woozy thoughts go black. Nurse Fleming, summoned by the alarm, hurried to the biobed."Its an allergic reaction." Rangi said watching the high reading begin to fall. "Again?" Lucy asked, remembering the last time the counselor had been in sickbay. "Yes." Rangi replied slowly and meeting the nurses worried expression added "...and that's not good. This was a mild dose." =/\= End Log =/\= LtCmdr. Rangi Summers CMO USS Chimera & Lt.
