==Science lab==

Teilani was in the science lab, trying to find out what the cause was of Ltd. Wilkes neuro degeneration. Despite her initial operation and advanced treatment, there seemed to be no further improvement. The must be a reason why Silvio healed faster then Wilkes. Both had similar injuries and treatment started almost simultaneously.

Computer: - display blood analyses on patients Wilkes and Silvio.

Teilani did not see anything out of the ordinary but that did not say much. It could be something on a cellular level.

Computer: - run a level 1 diagnostic at cellular level on both Wilkes and Silvio’s bloodwork. Breakdown diagnostic in the following sequences: viruses, anti-reagens, nanites, any other anomalies.

- This analysis takes 3 hours to complete, the computer responded.

Fine, thought Teilani, this will allow me to freshen up before going to Miranda’s.

Teilani left the science lab and headed for her quarters. She was nearly there when she got the funny feeling that someone was watching her. A strange itchy feeling in the back of her neck, she turned around but there was no-one there.

Teilani shook her head, maybe she was exaggerating, blaming it on the hectic day she had had. She entered her quarters, and suddenly noticed that the interior was dull, empty. She made a mental note to herself that once they were docked at Qul she had to get some accessories to brighten up her room.

Whilst she was freshing up she heard the chime of her computer:

“Incoming message from sickbay”

“Teilani walked over to her desk, “-computer display message:-

The message came from Ensign Favor, reporting that Lieutenant Silvio had waken up. Now finally some good news, Teilani said out loud.. She quickly left her quarters and headed back to sickbay.

== SICKBAY==

Teilani quietly entered sickbay, where she found both patients under the care of one of the nurses. She picked up a medical tricorder and walked over to the bio bed where Silivo lied. She scanned him from head to toe, trying not to wake him.

Silvio woke and tried to sit up but tought better of that idea. He was still quite sore. "Hello Doctor."

My apologies Lieutenant, I did not want to wake you. I am doctor Dane, how do you feel?

"Like I've been tortured by three Cardassians." he said with no emotion what so ever.

Teilani’s piercing green eyes looked straight into Silvio’s. “Follow my finger, she said, as she was moving her finger in front of his eyes.” Wriggle your right foot, your other right foot, Leiutenant, she said with a smile as Silvio moved his left one.

Silvio grunted at her and moved both legs.

You’re going to be fine, all you need is now is rest. Go back to sleep. Doctor’s orders.

Silvio rolled over and prompty went back to sleep.

Teilani turned to her console and made some notes into his medical chart as Captain Hunter entered sickbay.

Hello Captain, Teilani said, brushing away her hear from her face. You also have received the message that Silvio has woken up?

Hunter nodded, looking past Teilani toward's Silvio's bed.

His wounds are still healing. All he needs to do is rest. It will not be long before he can report for duty.

"That's good news" said Hunter. "We could really use him down in Engineering right now."

By the way, Captain, now you are here anyway, would you mind sitting down on that bio-bed. Teilani, pointed towards an empty bed. I would like to check your vital signs, I promise I will not hurt you. It will only take minute.

"Is that an order Doctor?" said Hunter wryly.

Teilani started laughing, It sure is Captain, I don’t get a chance too often, to order around a starship captain. Please…

With more protest worthy of starship captain, Hunter begrudgingly obliged the doctor's coaxing and laid down on the bio bed.

Teilani scanned Hunter. Well she said your dopamine levels are quit high, are you experiencing any headaches??, nausea??

Hunter shook his head, "no... just a little tired. I haven't slept much."

I see she said, Teilani started to prepare a hypospray consisting of some extra vitamins and 5 cc of acethylcoline this would allow the chemical imbalance correct itself.

Hunter sat up. He looked at Teilani. He imagined the lost and pain she had suffered as well. "A memorial service is being planned for those who we recovered from the Kittyhawk."

The smile disappeared from Teilani’s face, she looked up to Hunter, I really appreciate that Captain, she said softly.

With a nod of the head. He wanted to convey his sympathies for her losses too, but couldn't find the right things to say. Hunter stood up, rubbing the warm sensation left by the hypospray.

"You are doing good Doctor," said Hunter.

Thank you Captain, she said.

with a terse smile, Hunter replied, "carry on."

Hunter walked towards the door, turning and looking back before he left Sickbay.
