One of the surgical nurses was standing by, awaiting the order from Tija as what operation to move forward with.

For James’ efforts, locating the mass on the back of her neck which was the nest of the parasite was easy enough. A quick scan could even find the tendrals moving through the body, wrapping around nerve clusters and down through the spine.

“Doctor,” Garth said to Lieutenant Tija as it looked like she had paused for a moment, “we should be expecting the away team, although it’s not clear if they’ve brought further samples or other information that might help us.”

“Thank you, Lieutenant. I sure hope they will have helpful information for us,” Tija replied curtly, though not exactly unkindly.

“Is it possible to verify that using the transport on something so small won’t accidentally take something else with it?” Adinah asked, brows furrowed as she thought about it. “I dont know much about transporters, but that feels like something that should be tried out at least once before actually attempting the procedure. Accidentally taking out part of the spine or brain would do severe damage.”

“Of course,” Adinah added quickly, “I’m no engineer or anything. If that far of a specification can be made then it might be worth a shot.”

Mika nodded in agreement. “I’m afraid it wouldn’t work on something so small, but if it did, it would be a fantastic idea. As for another idea…” She frowned, thinking. “Perhaps they are allergic to or even poisoned by something we wouldn’t normally think of that would be harmless, or mostly harmless to us?” She suggested, before quickly adding, “Then again, I have no idea how we’d figure out what would work… If anything at all.”

The CMO listened closely to both Cadets and nodded here and there. “I generally agree. Sadly we don’t have the option to really try it first. While Richards is already dead and we can’t really do more harm to him …” Suddenly her voice trailed off and Tija looked at Garth. “What if we don’t try it on his whole body, but just on his severed arm?”

Turning back towards the Cadets, she looked straight at Mika and said, “I wouldn’t normal feel comfortable experimenting with the remains of another being, but desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose.” After taking a deep breath she continued, “If you can think of anything, you have permission to try it on Richards. Just make sure your protective gear is in place and that the force field around him is never fully lowered.”

OOC: I’m leaving the snipping for the next cadet to post. As a reminder, the rule of thumb is to leave one post per person (plus the accompanying “posted by” lines and add (snip) where the deleted text was. In this case that means one post for the GM, CSO, three Cadets and the CMO :)

Max finally made his way to sickbay, having cleaned up after finally stripping off the environmental suit.

“Alright Doc, we made it back, and supposedly in one piece. Were you able to figure out a way to help the infected people?”
