An idea came to him, and he hesitated. Then, he approached the biobed. "Ellie, I am going to ask you a favor, but please don't feel like its an order. I am going to have to file a report for Starfleet about the bacteria strain. I need a scientist's opinion and your department head seems very reluctant to offer his expertise. If you feel up to it, I would greatly appreciate your assistance."

: : : : : : BJ had forgotten a fair bit of the biology he had been taught. However, he had remembered one thing. Bacteria can grow only in certain conditions. =^=Janzen to Ruiz. Have you done a PH test? Before you answer allow me to explain. Bacteria grown in certain conditions. PH levels and atmosphere matter. You should check those conditions first.=^=

: The CMO heard the door open, and was immedieately annoyed at the intrusion. "I'm sorry, but sickbay is currently under quarantine," Ruiz said without turning around. "If you need medical attention, report to NE Nojoy in Cargo Bay." Just then, Eric caught a glimpse of who he was speaking to, and turned red beneath his bio-suit. "Admiral," he said, bringing himself to attention. "To what do I owe this visit, sir?"

"I was checking to see how things were progressing in regards to this bacterial strain, Doctor."
