(Main Infirmary, Outpost Eden)
:Ko-Antin was feeling very positive towards Elena Fairchild. It felt like he had known her for a long time. However he was aware that the combination of her almost eternal youth together with her mature spirit was very attractive. Was he falling in love?:
Fairchild: I feel much better somehow. What did you do?
Ko-Antin: I did absolutly nothing except the vinegar compress.
:Ko-Antin touched her forehead to get a feeling for her fever and realized that it's gone. He could not believe it and doublechecked the bio bed. He fever was gone. She made it through it!:
Ko-Antin: Your fevers gone!
Fairchild: I was sure I was dying... And now that!
Ko-Antin: You are the first one to survive.! Would you support us? Your blood could be the key to a cure. If you don't mind, I'll bring you just to our CMO.
Fairchild: I'll love to help. But only under one condition.
:Ko-Antin got a bit angry. The whole outpost in a state of emergency, Locked down and they where in a quaratine. How could she be that complicated?:
Ko-Antin: Condition!? Let me know what you want and I can see what I can do. But don't expect miracles.
Fairchild: We will continue your talk later on. Not as Patient and councellor, but as true friends.
:Ko-Antin's heart was cheering:
Ko-Antin: Oh, yes Elena, I'd love to do so. With or without your support for the scientists.
:Ko-Antin threw her clothes in the ultrasonic cleaner and gave them back to her.:
Ko-Antin: Please get showered and dressed Elena and come to Dr. Velana. She's the CO. I'll announce you there
:Elena turned towards a booth for showing. She took a few steps, turned back to Ko-Antin and gave him a warm and natural smile:
Fairchild: Thank you councelor!
:Ko-Antin just smiled back. He was slightly confused but he felt that a hard armour around his heard seems to soften up.:
:Ko-Antin walked towards Velana and Korvis. They at a bio bed with a unrepsonsive patient. he just picked up their talk:
Kovis: Do you think ... if the Romulans are taking the opportunity to pick a fight now ... that the illness might have something to do with them?
Velana: ?
Kovis: The timing just seems a little too convenient to me, that is all.
Velana: ?
Kovis: Well, I am quite sure that they will have some information. But ... for now, what is the status of the patient?
Velana: ?
Ko-Antin: Sorry, for the interruption. I have the impression you would not reject a tiny drop of hope.
Velana:?
Kovis: ?
Ko-Antin: Oh, I'm sorry Counselor. My name is Ko-Antin and I'm councelor as well. It's good to have you here!
:Ko-Antin offered his hand for a handshake:
Kovis: ?
Ko-Antin: Welcome Councelor! I'm glad you are here and I hope we find some time later to welcome you properly!
Velana:?
Ko-Antin: Maybe we have a patient that is resistant to our mysterious disease.
Velana: ?
Ko-Antin: Her name is Elena Fairchild. She's a civilian, so we don't have a complete medical file. However she seems do suffer from a medical condition that was unknown to me. She seems to age very very slowly due to a hormanal defect. Shall I bring her to Lt. Drake?
Velana: ?
Ko-Antin: OK. But one more thing, Dr. Velena.
Velana:?
Ko-Antin: Did you notice that there is not a single Romulan amoung the victims of our disease? There is not even a half breed amoung them. It's a hint that the disease is engineered, it's not a proof however. Maybe the diseasy could just not outbreak amoung romulans. With some Romulan Bloodsamples and some Blood of Ms. Fairchild, we maybe can understand how a immune system can cope with the pathogenic agent.
Velana:?
