Cochrane moved around the desk with a smoothness born of countless high-stress situations. As he did so, he tapped his commbadge. =/\= Captain to Medical. Medics to the Ready Room asap. =/\= and he helped lower her to the floor. He reached up and lifted an eyelid with his thumb and looked at her pupil. “Faye. Faye… its Alex. Try and relax. Breathe, Faye. Breathe…”

Cochrane, CO

Her eyes were darting as if they were trying to track something untrackable. Meanwhile, her entire body was rigid with tension. Breathing seemed to be something she had forgotten how to do., despite her lips moving as if they were reciting something.

Kneeing to the side, Shara cursed under her breath. “It’s what she calls a mind dump. She can’t control it once it starts, but typically they haven’t lasted very long. I’ve never seen it this bad before.” Grabbing Faye’s hand, she rubbed the pad of her thumb in a circular motion on Faye’s palm in a soothing gesture. They just needed her to take one breath!

~The Calloways

Alex watched her and his jaw clenched. An idea came to his mind… but it was a sketchy one. Steeling himself, he knelt beside her and leaned close to her and said softly in her ear “Faye… remember. Remember what it is you are seeing, Faye.” and he squeezed her hand and then earnestly through gritted teeth: “Remember!*”

Cochrane, CO

If it were possible, Faye’s body tightened even more, her back arching. Someone had one told her it looked like she was having a seizure when it happened this strongly. But fortunately for her this time, it signalled then end.

All the tension suddenly released and Faye finally drew in a shaky breath. With no strength to currently move, she just lay there and whispered. “Ow…”

~The Calloways

“Stay down. Medical is en route. Let them take a look at you, okay?” Cochrane said.

Cochrane, CO

It was okay, she wasn’t moving anyway.

A minute later, a pair from Sickbay arrived and immediately began assessing her. Shara explained (loosely) what had happened as they scanned.

“Are you in pain?” an ensign asked Faye. it took for several moment to be able to reply, but she managed to actually speak, “A bit. my head.”

“She’s prone to headaches and migraines after an episode,” Shara added. They couldn’t explain the source without getting into things that were too complicated in the moment.

“Your blood pressure is really high, and so is your heart rate.” The ensign looked over at the captain. “I’d like to get her to sickbay to monitor her cardiac responses. I’m worried about the brain activity. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“No Sickbay…” Faye said, though her objection wasn’t exactly strong. She was too weak to move let alone anything else.

~The Calloways

” Do what you can here, and then tell the CMO to meet the Lieutenant in her quarters for another exam. She’s had episodes like this previously, we just want to ensure she is stable.” He looked at Shana and said “I think she’ll be all right till then, don’t you Commander?”

Cochrane, CO
