Ever swivelled around in her chair and address Alexis and the room, “what if we have this wrong? Bear with me a second and hypothesise with me. Say for argument sake, this is not a physical contamination or sickness. What if the cause is indeed psychological. I mean purely mental. They all seem to be under a collective hallucination. Let’s do brain activity scans. Though it would be really helpful if we knew who was infected or affected and where they have been. Identifying a patient zero would undoubtedly fill in a lot of blanks. Thoughts?”

Alexis appeared to be trying to tap her chin through the protective gear. “That’s very possible, but how? Someone with uncontrolled telepathic abilities? So a lack of control or maybe they are actually sick, but the only one?” How could they figure out how it started? “Those infected are too far into their hallucination to tell us who they came into contact with.” She taps her finger a moment. “Security feeds! When was the earliest anyone in here saw someone acting strange? We can start at that time index and move backwards. We have patients in the science lab, promenade, a holodeck, and where else?” She started assigning NEs to help go through the feeds while Jennyfer and those helping her kept working on the fungus problem. “Hopefully the XO will get here soon.”

Lt. Bonner, AMO

Jenyfer had been listening and nodded. “It’s an interesting idea. I say run with it. I’ll see if I can find a fungal cure in the meanwhile and we should certainly still purge the ventilation system since it’s been read as ‘contaminated’. But the spread could be on a more psychic level as well.” She watched them get started then turned back to her own work. With any luck, soon they would have a cure one way or another. And hopefully enough to cure all at once so this didn’t spread further or affect more of the upper Command.

Now fully in protective gear herself, Tija frowned slightly and walked over to one of the replicators while mulling the whole situation over. After replicating a simple baseball cap, she walked over to Walker. “Here Doctor,” she said, her voice a little less stern then usual. “Will that help to make you feel better? Will make sure to inform her Majesty that you’ll be late and that it isn’t your fault.”

“Hm,” Brad said, taking the hat and turning it over in his hands, before placing it backwards on his head. “Oh I hope so,” he said. “I seem to have misplaced my pocketwatch. Maybe she’ll accept losing track of time if she knows I don’t have any means of telling it…”

Mariah appreciated the way everyone offered ideas from the perspective of their specific specialties. She considered Ever’s theory that their illness was at least in part psychologically induced. Grayson knew, of course, they couldn’t rule anything out, and she acknowledged the bias that many things often had a physiological cause could very well be clouding her judgment.

Seeing Walker, an impulse struck Mariah and she decided to see where it took her. “Excuse me, sir,” she said approaching Walker, “perhaps we could help you look for it and in the meantime, have a nice chat?” She looked over at Aizala and met her eyes. Hopefully, her fellow physician would understand where she was going with this, but she knew she was taking a chance and it was Grayson’s own fault if she wasn’t understood. Mariah believed the only way to gather data to determine if this was primarily psychological was to do as much of an interview as was possible.

“Will there be tea?” Brad asked. “I was supposed to take it with the Queen at the croquet match but that is apparently not happening…”

OOC Lori: Please let me know if I’m overstepping. It just occurred to me building off Ever’s theory, this may be an interesting tangent to take for Mariah and Tija.

~Dr. Mariah Grayson, Psychiatrist

Jenyfer had been working on what samples she had and was just putting the end results into the bio readers as the others followed their own leads. In a few moments, she hoped, they would know if a cure could be synthesized off the blood work she had taken from the infected.

It wouldn’t take long for something of a cure to be identified. Basic anti-fungal treatments worked to clear it up in the blood samples however, it would take a while to replicate enough hyposprays to clear all of the infected, which reports calculated to be about 60% of the crew of the Ogawa and the station.

Alexis looked over the number. “Okay we need to get people out of the areas affected by this thing. 60% of the crew is a lot. We need rebreathers on everone. Some of us are going to have to go out and get them on people. We have no idea of continued breathing of the spores in makes it worse. So we’ll have to find a way to get the infected crew to wear theirs, or get them all into sickbay so they are on a clean air filtration system. And we don’t have that much room.” She looked over at Jennyfer, “How much long before you know if there is an antidote?”
OOC: Didn’t want to take that away from you, from telling us. You’ve been working hard on it.
IC:
Alexis looked around, “Computer, where is the XO now?” She wanted to make sure the XO and anyone with her hadn’t gotten caught by any of the infected crew, or gotten infected themselves.
