If I might have your attention. Thank you.


My name is Dr. Faiza Hussain. I, along with the rest of the Medical Department, have been working on the many cases of deaging that have been affecting the crew.

As some of you may know by now, the quarantine has been lifted. The deaging is not contagious and we have found the cause behind it. Apparently, a specific, 'melty' clock on XaXing was viewed by all who have been found to suffer from this malady.

The bad news is that, for the moment, we don't have a way to treat the deaging. We will need the artifact to do anything. It doesn't appear to be a danger, but I'm sure you know the histories of your friends and loved ones better than we do. I would rather nobody who is afflicted with this be left on their own.

That said, given the make-up of this crew, I'm sure not everybody who is dealing with being deaged has come to us. Whatever the reason, whether you didn't want to end up in quarantine or simply didn't understand what was happening, I would ask that you come forward now, even if only to the medical department. We need an accurate count of how many are affected, especially when we find the way to reverse it. Also, there are likely going to be times in everybody's life when they may need medical help. So it would be nice if the medical department knew what to expect.

If you have any questions, please ask them here or feel free to come to the medical department. Anything locked to me will be treated with utmost confidentiality. We take the privacy of those who come to us seriously.

[Added later]: Could a member of Command meet us in the Obs Deck? We have some questions we'd like to ask Stacy and it would be helpful to have someone from Command with us.

...Oh, dear. Doctor, I hate to say this, but I might have been affected...

It would be worth asking Sta'c K'ltrrb'txft if she has any information on a clock like the one we're suspecting. It's possible that she does, and if there's any known history or past precedent for this clock's effects and what had been done to address them before, we'll have a better idea of how to proceed once we have the artifact to examine ourselves.

To be perfectly honest, I'm guessing.

The Obs Deck should be fine. How soon are we looking to go? How many people do you want to keep any questioning session limited to?
encourage: (serious; state the facts one more time)

All right. Sounds reasonable. Will you look for other volunteers here, or keep this to medical staff and those involved in the investigations altogether?
encourage: (patient; waiting for you to finish)

I'd say Anwei, for record purposes. If we want someone who's apparently familiar with time related disturbances, or time in general, there's the Doctor? He's who brought Marco in with half of Rachel, and was conducting some kind of time examination on Kon before Quarantine was called by Doctor Henderson.

It might be stepping outside the people you want, but someone from Command might be useful as well.
encourage: (calm; watching from over here)

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Let me know when we're ready to move.

Just add me to the list. I've been over this already. Apparently I WAS a book and now I'm not. That's not exactly deaging though.
badassfreakingoverlord: (dull surprise)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-05-06 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
But age has nothing to do with it. If I was 'deaging' as a book I'd be a younger book.

Do you know how to determine if someone is affected or not, Doctor?

It would be best for the safety of the crew, that I come to the Med Bay just in case I am affected. I would like to discuss this better over there than on the comms.

Are there any spacial-temporal stasis units onboard? Or proper candy canes to at least slow down the effects, until the melty clock is found.

Hopefully not, no. Still something to keep in mind, given the circumstances. Better the pods than time-skipping back into non-existence.

Dr. Hussain, I can meet you on the Obs deck whenever you are ready. I've set up my omnicomm to take notes and will try to capture an audio file as well.

I'll meet you in the Obs Deck if the Captain hasn't already contacted you, Doctor.

Doctor, should we start looking into procuring objects needed for the care of small children? Some of them will be reaching that stage sooner rather than later, and many of them do not have adults with them. Some of the teenagers on board likely have no experience with dealing with small children, and definitely not infants. I know it's the worst case scenario, as we very much want to find a solution before this becomes a problem, but it seems better to be prepared than to be reactive.

Also is it possible, that if they return to a fetal stage of development to form some sort of artificial womb, considering the current tech level?

Probably, Dr. Hussain. At least, we will be glad for someone with experience handling sick children. Ah, have we asked her if pod sleep would stop them from deaging? Have we asked the ship about this at all?

My real concern is that it seems that some of them lose on ship memories as well, if they start to get to a point where it doesn't make sense. We could be dealing with several powerful toddlers who just want their mummy and daddy and don't understand why we won't fetch them directly.

I've dealt with intake and done the trip everyone does through the emergency and pediatric wards. I've a little experience, not as much as you obviously. But enough to get by.

If we are able return to the planet for the clock, as seems like the best choice, do you think it would be possible for a few members of medical to go to the planet and gather supplies? I don't want to try to get a young child to eat the slop, and I'm rather certian that an infant wouldn't be able to swallow it. We'll need formula and baby food and clothing fit for children and infants, at the least.

Hopefully it will work.

Perhaps it would be best to do a poll, right now when they're old enough to answer, about when, exactly, any powered individuals manifested?

Ah, yes, of course Dr. Faiza.
