Giella waited patiently by the entrance of the highly secure
ward, resisting the urge to pace up and down. She was
waiting for the arrival of Commander Summers, who'd been
paged only a few minutes ago after the arrival of the
prisoner. It was one of the most secure transfers Giella had
seen in her time as an Intel officer, no less than 20 highly
trained Special Ops marines stood guard outside the
triple-secured cell which contained the stasis pod the
captor had arrived in.
Rangi was escorted by the two marines walking one on each
side, all the way from the XOs office to the secure section
in the main hospital. They didnt say, and she didnt ask,
what the emergency situation was but as she approached the
destination, it seemd almost as though there was a marine
convention taking place for the area fairly bristled with
armed silent guards.
She was just about to start pacing when two officers
escorted Commander Summers inside the high security are.
"Commander, thank you for coming so quickly," Giella said as
she started to explain. "Commander Chisulo has brought back
a prisoner that needs to be examined. It was sedated on the
way, but no one knows what it is, we are the only ones who
been cleared to be allowed near it. Chisulo's report
indicates it's highly dangerous and strongly telepathic,
therefore no telepaths are allowed in this area until
further notice."
" I see." Rangi said, glancing over Giellas shoulder towards
a locked door where the guard standing in front of it gave
her a hard cold stare. She looked back to Giella. " Is that
'all' we
know?" she asked.
Giella nodded. "Usually I'm able to gather more information
from my sources, but so far nothing. This species isn't even
on the
Intelligence radar, nevermind the database. The only
description I found matching it was a report from Chimera's
security
department about the Antigonis misson."
"Right." Rangi said. " Ok...so we need to examine
....'it'. Do
you have a report with you? I need to know exactly what its
been sedated with."
Giella turned and motioned to an aide who stood nearby and
handed her a padd. Giving the padd to Rangi, she said. "The
report states the prisoner has been sedated with 20cc of
lovionum."
Rangi stared at Giella in silence. That amount would put a
fit healthy humanoid into a coma at least.
She lowered her eyes, activated the padd and read through
the brief notes. "Right.." she said "...lets have a look at
our guest."
Nodding to the guards, Giella stepped forward and waited as
they opened the locked down medical ward. The two women
stepped through the first door into a security airlock.
After the first door closed, the second opened and the
walked into the room with the stasis chamber.
They moved nearer to the unit and looked at the figure
inside for a few seconds before moving to the medical
scanner. Here whole streams of data rose steadily on the
screen.
Giella stood beside Rangi as they studied the readouts from
the scanners. She only had basic medical knowledge and
knew that Rangi would better understand what the datastreams
meant.
"Right..." Rangi said after she'd read the datastreams and
turned back to Giella. "The.. subject... has been connected
to a beta wave reducer. Along with the lovionum it should ensure
that it stays in an induced coma, though at this dosage I really dont know if we
could cause damage."
She looked into the stasis chamber. " In the normal state
of affairs it would but our friend here isnt reacting in the
same way at all."
She glanced at Giella. " I have never seen such a complex
DNA in a humaniod before and without further study of
its physiology, I won't have any answers. I think perhaps we
should refer this to the Department of Medical Research
Intelligence."
Giella looked back a moment at the cold grey stasis chamber
that housed the alien and got the feeling that perhaps they were a
little in over their heads and that Rangi's suggestion were a wise one.
Only herself and the Medical Advisor were authorised to study the alien,
and even the 1TF staff had been prohibited access. The Dep of
MRI would have to send an officer or a team to Unity, since the
subject was not allowed to leave the starbase.
"I'll put an official request through to Special Forces
Intel and run it by the Commodore. I'll need an official request from you as
well, please," Giella said.
"That's no problem I'll do it immediately." She sighed and
gave a slight shrug. "I'm out of my depth with this one."
she said truthfully.
"I think we all are," Giella replied as the two women exited the security
ward.
