=/\= Grouch to Ogawa XO. I think we’ve got a bit of problem with the simple removal of the fungal growth from the vents; it isn’t just alive, it’s actually self-aware in some way. I won’t say I want to name it yet, but that might be the case. Either way, I think I can at least establish a containment field around it for now. =/\=

Well that certain but a damper on their plans! =/\=Acknowledged, Chief. Go ahead with the containment field. Are we still able to release the treatment for everyone through the vents or is no longer advised?=/\= She was of course calm regardless of her thoughts and actual feelings. Her barriers were well up even though the suppressant was still active… for now.

=/\= That shouldn’t be a problem, given that I’m just applying a filter to the particles this is releasing. =/\=

Dira wasn’t sure about the symptoms of the illness other than the hallucinogenic effects, so it was hard to say if these other symptoms were related or how exactly. For the time being though, she thought it best to assume a connection until she had further evidence. “Other people on the starbase are feeling unwell also and we’ve found something that is helping. May I give it to you?” she asked the father.

Commander Myqian, XO

The father nodded grabbing a tissue to wipe at his nose. “I don’t know what we got, but it feels like the Gorlaxian Flu,” he coughed a few more times then tilted his head to the side exposing his neck to the XO.

Administering the dose, she only hoped it helped as quickly as it had for others.

Ever pressed the hypospray gently against the little girl’s neck. Whether it was the high fever or half dream state the child appeared to be in, Ever thought she did not appear to be in a good state. Considering quickly and quietly how much she could reach out to the child’s mind without causing potentially more harm, the Betazoid decided the medical bay was probably the more appropriate place to proceed with more intervention. Just in case. Her brother Richrel ‘s face flashed crossed her memory as a sober reminder that the use and awakening of telepathic abilities were not always safe in children. And this was a very unusual case and situation. Listening to the hiss of the spray, Ever smiled softly, “that should make you feel a little better. Commander Myqian, I recommend we move the family into medical just as a precaution. Plus I think the replicators there make the best chocolate on the base. At least that’s what I hear.”

For the two Betazoids, it was clear that there was a psychic pressure coming from the girl. If they dropped their defenses for just a second it would be as if their minds were filled with a fever dream of sorts, the images of the story in the book next to the table would come spilling into their minds until they cut themselves off again. When the girl was sedated however, the pressure faded away when she slipped back into normal slumber.

Ever had caught glimpses of the little girls thoughts before she had drifted off to sleep safe from visions of the story tell that seemed to be haunting the rest of the starbase. As her head rested against her mother’s chest, Ever gave another soft smile and nod to the mother. She is fine now. But I think we are best getting her to bed at least, or medical if that makes you feel better. Standing up slowly, she turned back to the XO and shrugged waiting to see what Myqian wanted to do next and observing how her boss was handling the effects of the virus.

Dira looked over at Ever and nodded. The neuroblocker was still in effect, so she was relying on Ever’s sensory interpretation of what was going on here. “I think getting them to the Infirmary is the best. The safest thing would be a beam out into quarantine to be sure.”

She returned her attention to the father. “Whatever it is that’s making you unwell, we think it’s best to get you three to the Infirmary. And it will give us a better way to monitor your daughter. We want to be extra cautious, okay?”

Commander Myqian, XO

The man nodded and closed his eyes. “It is just the flu, I am sure, but yes all the help we can get, especially if we are affecting something some how,” his voice rambled and faded as the cough medicine he had been nursing took effect. “I am sorry for all of this.”

Myqian crouched and made sure to gaze at the man in the eyes so he could see her expression despite the rebreather. “Hey, now listen here. Things happen. All I care about is getting you and everyone else feeling better, understood?” She smiled sincerely. “And right now all you have to do is trust us and hep us by cooperating, which you’re already doing. So thank you” She might not be able to sense his thoughts or feelings clearly right now, but she knew he’d be able to know that she absolutely believed what she was saying and that she wasn’t upset with him or his family in anyway.

Stepping back to make a more private call, Dira nodded more to herself than anything. and waved Ever over as well. =/\=Myqian to the Infirmary and to Captain Taylor. We have a family of three who need further medical attention. They are symptomatic and the child, a telepath, has been feverish and her dreams match the mass hallucination people are experiencing. We believe them to be our patient zeros. We’re going to arrange for them to be beamed into the Infirmary, but as a precaution I want a quarantined space to beam them into ready asap. Additionally, one of the engineers is working on getting the ventilation system ready for mass distribution of the aerosol treatment. But he also found a fungus that seems to have some sort of sentience. I’ve agreed that a containment field is a good precaution but we’ll have to proceed carefully going forward. I suspect that that is the base cause of the illness itself, but someone will probably have to cross-check the readings to see if it’s the same.=/\=

Commander Myqian, XO

=/\=Acknowledged, Commander. We’ll clear a quarantined space over here and signal when we’re ready to receive the patients,=/\= Brad replied from the Infirmary.

Goslom nodded then walked into the bedroom and put a hand on Mirro’s shoulder and gave an affectionate squeeze while they waited for the transporter to take them away. As he looked back over his shoulder at the XO he muttered something about needing a decongestant before sneezing, snot flying from his nose. “Tissue! I need a tissue love!”

Mirro sighed and grabbed a tissue from the night stand so that he could wipe the green slime from his nose. She looked up at him a moment then sqeezed her daughter’s hand again.

From the air vent in the ceiling, a dust of spores retreated back into the vents and left the room.
