=/\= Personal Quarters, USS Chimera C =/\=
After a long double shift Jade was finally back in her quarters deciding to take a shower before she went to bed she headed into the bathroom and started the shower to get the water warm while she undressed. Once she was undressed she noticed a rash starting on her left side of her abdomen she didn't think that much of it assuming that was just irritation from her uniform. Without thinking to much more of the rash she got into the shower and just allowed the warm water to run over her body after fifteen minutes she got out, dried, and got ready for bed.
=/\= Next Morning =/\=
Waking up Jade headed back into the bathroom she turned the shower on and then went to the mirror and turned the water on at the sink to splash some water on her face to wake her up. After that was finished she undressed to go into the shower, but she noticed that the rash spread instead of just the small rash that she had last night it spread all over her abdomen and all over her back. She rushed to turn the shower off and get dressed she then rushed out of her quarters and to the nearest turbolift to get to sickbay. Five minutes later she entered sickbay looking around for a doctor or a nurse or anyone really, "excuse me." Jade said to a passing doctor.
Nanee was on her way to double check that the inventory in the medicine storage room was correct when she heard a voice call out. She whipped around in the direction from which she heard the voice. "Yes, Is thee anything I can help you with?" She was feeling rather well today so she added a smile in hopes of making the crew member feel more welcomed.
"Um.... it might be easier if I show you." Jade said, "well it's a rash of some kind, but it's spreading rapidly." Jade said hoping that they could back to curtain area, so that the doctor could get a better look at the rash.
Nanee replied, "Well, while I'm thinking lets move to a more isolated area..." Nanee could only imagine where the rash might be. She looked at it this way: she has probably seen worse. "Has anything in your diet changed recently? Without looking at padd, do you have any allergies?" Nanee was first thinking of rather the most obvious possibilities then they could move on to the more advance way of thinking.
"Um.... no not really." Jade said taking a second to think, "the only thing is the times I've been eating have changed. Could that cause a rash like this?" She asked she wasn't terrified, but just concerned at the speed that it spread or is spreading. "As for allergies mainly just dust." Jade said.
"No, the time change shouldn't have an affect quite like that... and a dust allergy reaction wouldn't spread as quickly..." Nanee was thinking, "Have you been exposed to any radiation, you know due to entering, exiting, and re-entering the nebula and what not?" Nanee was growing even more curious as to the origin of this case.
"Possibly. I didn't have a check-up after leaving the nebula the first time." Jade said now thinking that might have been a good idea, "also I've been under a lot of stress could that make the rash appear and spread this fast?" Jade asked trying to give the doctor as much information as possible.
"Yes, stress could be a factor... ," Nanee pulled out her tricorder in order to run a full body scan. Her tricorder should tell her whether or not the Marine Captain had indeed been exposed to radiation or not. "I'm going to run the tricorder for protocol. It should tell me if you had contact with any radiation..."
"Alright." Jade said tensing up a little.
Nanee ran the tricorder down the length of Jade's body. Nanee was thinking of how to say what she wanted to say when she saw the results of the readings, "Bad news: the rash is due to contact with radiation. Good news: we can resolve this". Nanee waited for a response. She sensed that her patient was a little hesitant and nervous.
Jade nodded a little apprehensive learning that the radiation from the nebula did find a way to enter the ship, but glad that the medical staff knew what they were doing.
Nanee cleared her throat and wetted her lips before speaking, "I can give you kelotane administered through a hypospray which should help with any radiation sickness, rash, or even burns that you may be experiencing and then I would have to keep you here for observation..." Nanee thought that solution sounded reasonable.
Jade didn't like the sound of being monitored seeing that she would need to be on the bridge to prepare the ship for an engagement if one happens. "How long well I have to be monitored?" Jade asked seeing that she really didn't have a choice if she wanted this rash to go away and not let it get any worse.
Nanee stared at amazement. People these days. They didn't care much to as the state of their health as long as their duty was carried out. Nanee didn't appreciate such logic. She would like to know she was healthy herself before she were to go to save other lives.. "Until we see some change. If it gets better, you can leave and if not, well we'll just have to see how extensive the damage is then."
Jade nodded she started to feel a little worried about what might happen to her. Jade started to lay down so she was more comfortable and also to allow the doctor to inject the medicine.
<< To be continued..... I'm planning on doing this minor plot log until we get back to Unity or at least out of the nebulae. It may go on for a little bit longer depending on the medical staff and how the logs shape up. >>
