Episode 15 - The Evil That Lies Beneath
Location: Sick Bay - Deck 5 - USS Pioneer
Timeline: MD003 1100 hrs
Rowena walked in to sickbay. She looked around nervous. "Doctor? Are you here?" She didn't mean to show up so late, but she just got off her shift and she felt like she couldn't let this wait. She had a huge headache and the mark on her arm and back were burning like hell. But she did her best to ignore them for now.
Hermia came out of her office. "What can I do for you, Commander?" She asked.
Rowena looked a taf confused. She really didn't want to be here, but then again, this was important. "Doctor, I am here on my follow up. We were still going to check on these marks on my body, but also, I don't remember what your staff has been doing to me since my whole ordeal on that planet with that octopus or what was it." She put her hand on her head. I have a headache and I don't seem to remember what happened before we came to the station."
"We didn't find anything physical that caused the marks." Hermia said. "We believe they may be psychosomatic, due to the stress you underwent."
"Okay, I'll give you another scan for the headache." Hermia said grabbing a medical tri-corder and began to scan the the Second Officer's head.
After a moment she asked. "Have you undergone a mind meld recently, because your Psilosynine levels are elevated, I can give you something to lower them, and that should help relieve the headache."
"I'll take the medication, but doctor, this might be a strange question, but can I see the scans you made of the marks and the ones you made just now?"
"Okay," Hermia said handing over the tri-corder, before going to prepare the hypo.
Rowena looked over the scans. "Doctor, did you notice the slightly elevated unknown energy over here?" She held up the tricorder to the doctor. She waited for the doctor to walk over to her.
Hermia said "No." "Can I see?" She asked reaching for the tri-corder.
As the doctor took the tricorder Rowena touched the doctor's hand and looked a moment to the doctor. She wasn't sure if Hermia noticed but then said, "Right here, and there is also on the brain scan. It is very little, but I have seen it before, when I served on the Malificus, but I am not sure what it means. But in all honesty I don't think it is important." She then smiled. "The medication?"
Hermia took the tri-corder and began to examine the readings.
Rowena waited patiently for the doctor to look at her results. "Doctor, as I said it is not important. Maybe I could get that medication for my headache. I still have a lot of work to do."
-----------------------
The tricorder hit the floor and Rowena tilted her head. "Doctor?" Then she blinked and looked around. There was no one in sickbay right now. "What was I doing here?" She looked to the tricorder on the floor and picked it up and put it on a shelve. Then she walked out of sickbay. And met a nurse walking in.
Ze had been busy and was late for his shit when he heard the commotion, he grabbed his tricorder and poked his head round the frame of the the blast door "Doc is everything ok?" He said coming round the corner, looking at the tricorder on the floor "Sorry I'm late I accidentally took too much of my sleeping medication it wont happen again I promise.
With Nurse Rossi working in the Dispensary (Pharmacy), the Main Sickbay was quiet almost eerily so.
Rowena smiled to the nurse. "I am sorry, I am came here for my test results, but I guess the doctor is out right now. Will you tell her I came by?" Rowena waked passed the nurse and left the room.
