Gyrax: Ive carried out level 1 diagnostics, all OK but the dilithium matrix is at 85% sir, be careful in the event of a shakedown

Rich_Ayles:
Capt.:....there is some damage to the meninges but no swelling consistent with meningitis....

Vulture_:
xo: I recommened we procced at warp 6 so we can maintain energy for max long range scaneres

Host Liz_vTrek:
Ramares:  So....it's.....possibly an autoimmune disease?  Like my father's?

Rich_Ayles:
Capt:....I ran a cyclic analyser which lasted 2 hours and only one anomaly showed up.....

Host Cheryl_vTrek:
Brightstar, make it so.

Dracos:
*Gug* PLease stabalize the crystals. Use the Connor subroutine in the maincomputer. The automated crytal matrix format should hold at 85%

vintow:
::begins to work on crystals::

Rich_Ayles:
Capt:....I could not isolate the cause but it would be consistent with an auto-immune disease.

Host Cheryl_vTrek:

Rich_Ayles:
Capt: This is indeed unusual. Auto-immune diseases that are genetically passed down usually attack the same organs as the previous victim.

Host Cheryl_vTrek:

Host Liz_vTrek:
Ramares:  True, and I was particularly concerned about my heart and lungs.  It never occurred to me that it might manifest in my brain.  ::sighs again::  So.....what is my prognosis, in your estimation?

Rich_Ayles:
Capt: This Sickbay...although well equipped is really not sufficient to treat a disease of this kind. It requires intensive testing of the kind only available at Stations and on Earth.

IANPAWSON:
XO:: I cannot do anything with the transmission

IANPAWSON:
::only audio::

Host Cheryl_vTrek:
They should keep trying to transmit, until we can establish their location

Vulture_:

Host Matt_vTrek:
<crel> ...long do <bzzt> have to yell for!

Host Cheryl_vTrek:
Helm:  Prepare to change course

Rich_Ayles:
