Snip“Wait… spread?” Jenyfer turned to step in front of the woman and make her stop. “What do you mean, spread?” She had a look of concern on her face. “You asked what my specialty was. I’m a virologist.” She laughed. “Before we go any further, you need to tell me how you ‘think’ it spread and if you think you, or even myself, now, could spread it to others on our way to Security. I don’t mean to be rude, or press my luck with a superior officer I don’t even know. But I think we need to make this a priority even more. Don’t you?” She nodded with respect but didn’t reach out a hand. If it was by touch, hopefully she was ok so far. “I’m Jenyfer Lynset.”
Jenyfer
Virologist“Well Jenyfer Lynset. I have no idea what ‘it’ is or if there is a contagion. Merely a guess from what I was picking up from the medical officers that were here when I walked around the corner. And an observation from the behaviour of the Chief Medical Officer. Not sure we can get it from contact, cause he seemed more like he was hallucinating. So a guess is he ingested something not good. And since everyone was either suited up or behind a field, I didn’t touch anyone either,” Ever said not even pretending to hide the fact she just picked up a few of the virologist’s thoughts. “But it seems more your speciality than mine. Unless he is just bat poo crazy. Either way, you are correct. We need to sound the alarm. Hence altering security. On the chance it is transmittable though, how do you recommend we proceed?”
Zeanar, CoP
Jenyfer listened and smiled. “Well, first off, I’m thinking ‘bat poo crazy’ probably isn’t the answer. At least, I’m hoping not. That would mean a preexisting condition no one caught before.” Laughing she shook her head. And I’m not sensing you going nuts either. So either ingestion or touch is probably a good place to start. My suggestion is we make our way to medical. But we need to not pass thru main areas of the ship. Or we need to transport as well. On the off chance this ‘is’ a touch contagion, with a longer than instant incubation period, we can’t chance touching a lot of folks.”
“Well Jenyfer Lynset,” Ever started off with the same phrase again, wondering for a second why she was repeating herself. “I don’t make it a habit of randomly touching people. “
She frowned a moment. “Do you know if this is an isolated incident or are others on the ship infected, that you know about?” She didn’t like the idea of having walked into something she’d end up labeling a pandemic. But to even have a couple folks affected meant something was terribly wrong.
Jeny
Virologist“I have no idea. I really just walked into the situation. Maybe we should have the computer track the CMO’s steps and make sure there are no other causalities he might have infected,” Ever said touching her hair that was still damp from the pool water. Feeling subconscious that she was still in a wrap and swimsuit, she wished she wasn’t so far from her quarters and a uniform. Ever stepped around and behind Jeny to reach the computer panel.
“Computer, display Dr. Brad Walker’s timeline of activity today. Also send out a priority one alert to Ogawa’s command crew and Starbase 157 security team of a possible contagion and infection. Possible......pandemic. Origin of transmission, unknown. Symptoms appear hallucinogenic in nature.”
Lt Commander Ever Zeanar, CoP
The computer displayed a map on the screen showing the general rounds that the CMO made for the day (OOC: Brandon if you want to provide more detail here that would be swell). In total, since the CMO wasn’t the CMO of the station he was mostly doing what a guest doctor would do.
For the previous few hours he had come across the two infected NEs and attempted to render aid. What ever it was, if he had been infected with something, given the other reports coming over the comms, the R naught of the “virus” was likely greater than 1. However it was important to point out that the symptoms were inconsistent with a viral infection. They were more consistent with psilocybin poisoning.

At that moment, over the general address system the cheery computer voice announced =/\= Attention Code Orange. Repeat, Code Orange. All emergency personnel are required to respond to their duty stations for briefing.=/\=
