It wasn’t that Alexis had forgotten about Gerald, but given current circumstances and the fact he was stable allowed her to focus else where. Gerald had been dealt a bad hand medically. He wasn’t born that way, Star Fleet made him that way. She was currently going through his current medical file. His immune suppressant medications were working much better now. His previous medication hadn’t been adjusted for his metabolism and so his body had burned through it. Things seemed to be stabilizing now, but there was still a lot of work to do. Alexis had a call in to Dr Asimina on the Saracen. She was a prosthetic expert, for ideas for replacements for his implants, but that wouldn’t solve the problem completely. Gerald’s immune system was still being pushed past safe limits. As she read and researched and contemplated and ran scenarios Alexis tapped a stylus rapidly against her hip. Then twisting her hair up into a bun and shoving two (or three) styluses through the bun she tapped her combadge. =/\=Lt Bonner to Lt Solal. Come to my office for a consultation at your earliest convivence.=/\=Bonner, AMO
=^= One moment Lieutenant, and I’ll be right there. =^= His response to her was near instant. It took longer, however, for him to actually show up. Solal was in contact with a scientist aboard the Ark Angel and he’d been writing a letter when Bonner chose to ask for him. He took ‘at your earliest convenience’ to mean, ‘finish what you’re doing first’. And so, about twenty minutes later he arrived, wondering what exactly the consultation he had been called for was. “Lieutenant Bonner, you called for me?” He asked upon stepping through the door to her office.

“Please have a seat Lt.” Then Alexis passed Solal a PaDD. “This is Warrant Officer Gerald Hopkins, engineer.” She gave Solal a moment to skim the contents. “You can see from his file he’s undergone quite a bit. When he first boarded the Ogawa I adjusted is immunosuppressant because it wasn’t calibrated to his metabolism correctly. So naturally he was burning through it and in consequence he was having a great deal difficulty, and having to replace parts every few days. The length between cybernetic parts has increased, and we successfully replaced is old ocular pieces with newer models with great success. His immune system is still trying to reject the original ‘modifications’.” The way she said that last word left no doubt to her opinion of the so called doctors that had done this to him. “With your expertise in immunology, I wanted to bring you into his care team.”
Bonner, AMO
Solal took a seat and took a look at the PaDD as it was handed to him. “It’s impressive he’s alive,” he replied, after having skimmed the file. His accent was lightly French, influenced by his native language. From what it said, it made sense to Solal that he was having to replace parts so frequently. “Much like a transplanted organ, I doubt there’s any way to prevent rejection entirely, and it appears a great effort has been made to lessen the symptoms of rejection.” Her opinion on the modifications was quite clear to Solal. He couldn’t say she was wrong from a logical perspective either. The modifications had done their job sure, but it was a massive waste of resources trying to keep the rejection at bay. “What exactly are you hoping my expertise can do for him?”
