RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Charlotte Dawes - 05-13-2025
Nurse Dawes reported directly to Sickbay when she received the transfer order. She was eager to learn more about why the sudden change in her orders and why on such short notice. None of the familiar faces she passed on her way here seemed to know any more than she did. She knew that word would eventually get around. It usually did. The buzz of it all was exciting for Charlie. The older ship had a certain charm to it that appealed to her adventurous senses.
They were departing in one hour. No patients, brand new crew it seemed. She began preparing herself by familiarizing herself with the facilities, where things were stored, and envisioning traffic flow in the patients' area. Once she was comfortable she had a feel for the layout, she began manually checking supplies against the checklist that was left behind.

<<<<<Bridge<<<<
Evie came into Sickbay hoping that most of the Medical Personal was going to be there, the information that could be mission critical. She had a padd in her hand that Evie was working on, it was schematics for a water tank. It was designed to keep water at a specific temperature and PH balance, it would keep the Symbiont happy and alive.
The first place that Evie went to was her Office where she kept her lab coat, she enjoyed wearing them during meetings she just wasn't sure why. The other thing that she was working on was the do and do not list, if they were to have a Joined Trill they need to be prepared. Illustrating the differences between a joined Trill and one that isn't, adding in a Joined pregnant Trill. Treatments for all three would be different, but all were equally curtail. She wanted to make sure that everyone received the same information, every second wasted could be the difference.

[Doctor O'Fee to all Medical staff meeting in Sickbay in five minutes]
Charlotte was relieved to hear the Chief Medical Officer calling a meeting of the medical staff. She had been keeping herself busy getting Sickbay organized, checking that records were up to date, and attempting to assist the first officer with some preparations for an elderly guest. However, things had been slow so far, and Charlotte thrived on busy. She needed a quick pace with almost too much to do in order to feel alive. She hoped that Dr. O'Fee's meeting meant that there was more direction now and that she'd be given some more substantial talks to undertake.
Out of the corner of her eye, Charlotte saw the CMO slip into her office. Charlotte stopped what she was doing and meandered to the main receiving area, making sure to catch Dr. O'Fee's eye before she grabbed a chair to wait for the others to arrive.
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Emery Tyris-McEntyre - 05-30-2025
Emery arrived in Sickbay about 5 minutes or so after Dr. O’Fee’s call. He strode in with projected confidence, already in his own lab coat which was still starched. His name was stitched over his right chest, with beautiful cursive letters in Medical Teal that popped on his white lab coat.
He noticed the nurse, Charlotte, waiting in the main receiving area of the sickbay and gave her a nod of greeting as he walked over. She appeared to be waiting as well for Dr. O’Fee to make her appearance from where he saw her in her office.
From what he recalled from his notes, the Zephyr was transporting a Trill diplomat with some very…precise requirements. Trills were fascinating to Emery, a joined species with lifetimes and centuries of memories to look back upon. This was a very unique opportunity, one that Emery was excited to be taking on.

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 05-30-2025
At the appropriate time when everyone was assembled, Evie came out of the Office and gave a smile. Everyone who was trained to assist Medical was there, and paying attention. "Greetings everyone I am glad you all made it, there is a lot to go over." She placed a small stack of padds on a table next to her.
"For all of those whom I have not spoken to, I prefer to go by Doctor not rank." To her it always sounded better that way. "Right now we are getting ready to host a Trill Diplomat, the Host is up there in age and the Symbiont is even older. On these padds is all the information you will need to treat a Joined Trill, and not Joined. I will say if we treat a Joined Trill their golden rule we can't violate, if you have to choose to save the Host or the Symbiont. Save the Symbiont, the Host wont live long without the Symbiont. Naturally I hope this is all good information none of us will ever use." In this case it was better to have and not need.
"The reason we need to know all of this is because we don't know what we are going to be dealing with, the current Host is Femail but the next can be male so that means the placement of the Symbiont will be different. Everything we use to treat them we have to keep in mind the side effects, not that anyone would think of using Blood thinners but if we did that would kill a Joined Trill. The properties of the blood would change too swiftly, and just like a fish that swam too fast through a rip tide. If the Host gets bitten by a bug of any kind, the venom that causes us a minor irritation would kill them." Evie made her point pretty clear at this point.
"I have also designed a over sized water tank, it replicates to the best of our ability to provide comfort and care to the Symbiont. In the worst case scenario if something happens to the Host and we need to place the Symbiont in the tank, I need two dedicated nurses glued to the tank at all times. We should also have a back up Trill that we can place the Symbiont in, this has a window of a couple of days before it has to be perinate. This last one is our Hail Mary play when all others fail, and it is one that we can do once. Each procedure raises the risk to both Host and Symbiont, but I trust we will all use our best judgment." There was a lot of information presented, and she wanted to know if there was something she didn't cover. "Anyone have questions? If its on your mind I am sure there are others who also have them." Sometimes it happens that way.

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Emery Tyris-McEntyre - 06-02-2025
Emery listened attentively as the doctor explained their part of this trip. He knew most of the common talking points regarding Trill health and anatomy such as insect bites and blood thinners. Though Dr. O’fee talked as if this Trill was making her last trip before death, which was concerning to Emery. He always tried to look for the best outcomes in situations, yet Evie talked as if the host was so frail that they shouldn’t be traveling at all.
"Are we concerned that the Host will expire on this trip?" Emery asked the doctor, rather bluntly. The talk of water tanks and what to do if the unthinkable happens, made the question rather obvious to the young Doctor.
== TAG Dr. O’fee ==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 06-03-2025
The question made by the new Doctor was a good one, and chances were good that there were others with the same question in mind. There were a lot of extra preparations done for this, it could lead people to believing something was expected to happen.
"That is a great question Doctor, giving the age of the Host it is a concern. Chances are high that nothing is going to happen to her, and all of this is going to be for not. However for the same reason I keep evacuation kits in my Quarters, its better to have something in place for just incase than have nothing in place when something does happen." In every Emergency situation it is best to have some kind of plan in place before it happens. The more it is practiced the more people will remember it, that's why they do a lot of training to be in Star Fleet.
"Now if there is any other question you have, I have a little work to be done before any of this has a chance to happen. Here in Sickbay I like to get ahead of any problems as a proactive approach, and less of a reactive approach. Remember when the Prince of Death comes around, we look him in the eye and say Not today Death." Evie knew they were never going to be able to stop him outright, but they could buy time.

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Charlotte Dawes - 06-05-2025
Charlotte nodded in understanding at the instructions.
"Dr. O'Fee, once you have a list of items that need to be requisitioned, and any other to do lists, I'm happy to run point on getting everything together for you," Charlotte offered. "Are you thinking here in Sickbay? Or is this something we just need to be ready to prepare should a situation arise?" She asked.
==Tag O'Fee==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 06-06-2025
Before Evie could answer, she had a perplexed look on her face while turning to the door. It was a bad feeling about something, she just wasn't sure about what. Something just didn't feel right, but it wasn't exactly clear at all.
Turning her attention to Charlotte. "This is something I would like to have ready for just in case, after this mission we can dispose of it." The model would simulate the living conditions of the Symbiont. It would be small enough to be stored anywhere, but not really needed.
==Tag==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Emery Tyris-McEntyre - 06-08-2025
Emery looked at the both of them with concern. In his mind he thought that they were tempting fate by preparing these tanks and options for if the symbiont needed to be transplanted. As a surgeon, Emery would love to be involved in the transplant. As a Starfleet Officer, he was a bit mortified that they would even be thinking the worse could happen.
"I can assist with the set up of the tanks. I'll also brush up on the transplant procedures in case." Emery stated matter of factly.

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 06-13-2025
There wasn't much to think about when it came to the question, the more he knew about the system the better.
"That's a great idea, and even though I it had one tank in mind two is a better idea." It was always better to have a backup plan that never gets used, than to need one only not to have one. There was something on her bothering her, but still unaware of what it was going to be.

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Charlotte Dawes - 06-13-2025
==After 30 Hour Time Skip==
Charlotte made a point to catch up with the Chief Medical Officer the following day when she saw an opportunity where they both seemed to have a moment.
"Hey, Dr. O'Fee, I was hoping to catch up with you," Charlotte mentioned casually as she approached Evie. "I couldn't help but notice that something seemed to be bothering you, or maybe just distracting you yesterday. I wanted to see if everything was okay, and if there was anything extra I could be pitching in with to help you out?" Charlotte offered. "Doesn't matter if it's personal or professional, you know. I just want to help if I can."

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 06-14-2025
==After the 30 hour skip.==
After the thirty hours of waiting, Evie still hadn't figured out what happened the day before. It was also something that she put behind her, if there was or wasn't anything to it was yet to be seen. "Hey, Dr. O'Fee, I was hoping to catch up with you," Charlotte mentioned casually as she approached Evie. "I couldn't help but notice that something seemed to be bothering you, or maybe just distracting you yesterday. I wanted to see if everything was okay, and if there was anything extra I could be pitching in with to help you out?" Charlotte offered. "Doesn't matter if it's personal or professional, you know. I just want to help if I can."
Evie smiled when she noticed Charlotte in Sickbay again. "That is something that happens from time to time, I had a strange feeling like something happened.. I am not sure what it was, or even if it is just a figment of my imagination. Until I know something for sure, I am brushing it off as nothing until I have something conclusive to work with." There were some reports to go over, perhaps there might be more answers there.
"I have a feeling that the answer should be coming through the door at any time." Evie wasn't sure what was going to happen, but it was going to be clear soon.
==Tag and GM does she get the report about the switch? Plus any relevant medical data?==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Charlotte Dawes - 06-16-2025
"I get that. Or a feeling like something is going to happen," Charlotte said nodding in understanding. "Human instinct is a real thing, I try not to ignore it though I do have a surefire trick for false alarms if you like a little adventure. We could try to get some holodeck time later and I could show you," she offered.
Charlotte enjoyed participating in a number of adventure sports: rock climbing, base jumping, parasailing... She was certain she had a program she could entice the doctor with. And while holodeck safety protocols tended to make holoprograms not as effective as the real thing, she found there was nothing better than a soft adrenaline rush to stave off any false worries and do a nice factory reset on the brain.
"We can invite the new doctor, make it a team building exercise," she added.
==Tag - no pressure for the doc to accept.

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 06-17-2025
Evie did like team building building exercises, they really brought people together. In Sickbay they had to work as if they were one, and a successful activity would go a long way towards that. There were a number of programs that could help with that, but this was her idea, and Evie wanted to hear more.
"Please tell me more about this program." She said with a smile, and if all went well they will be the best team ever.
==Tag Sorry for the short one==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - GM-06 - 06-17-2025
The Trill have not sent over any data regarding the Mediator’s recent surgery.
However, if called to, C’had Kestir would certainly be willing to strip for a medical exam.
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Emery Tyris-McEntyre - 06-19-2025
Emery was standing nearby when Charlotte suggested an adventure on the holodeck, and was about to walk up and say something, when a comm from Commander Ameen interrupted them.
[Ameen to Sickbay. The dossier's medical information on the host is now obviously out of date. Can you advise on any general dietary or medical considerations for a new Trill host following an emergency joining? We need to ensure the menu is appropriate.]
Emery looked at Dr. O’Fee, “Do we have more information on the new host? Gender, age, preferences for foods? I need a baseline to give you more specifics.” Emery promptly replied.
The plan had changed, the host, bolterius and healthy from the sound of things. Flirtatious too. Emery was concerned and it showed on his face as he looked at Dr. O’fee. His head tilting as he waited to hear the answer to his questions.
“Doctor, I would suggest we bring him in for an exam, as a health and safety measure. General health check for the voyage”
== TAG ==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 06-19-2025
The communication came inn about the new host, and that shifted everything. It also reinforced why she put out the information about Male and Female Hosts. One day the Host can be either or, but there was always some kind of danger that gets associated with it.
Before Evie could say something, her new Doctor had raised similar concerns. “Do we have more information on the new host? Gender, age, preferences for foods? I need a baseline to give you more specifics.” Emery promptly replied. Evie knew he had a point, they did need this information from the new Host, all depending on the age of the Host and or if there were additional allergies.
“Doctor, I would suggest we bring him in for an exam, as a health and safety measure. General health check for the voyage”
"Agreed Doctor." Evie said before tapping her Combadge. [Sickbay to Commander Ameen, it is imperative that the new Host checks in Sickbay, the risk of rejection in a new host is high and there is only a small window of time to avoid anything serious.]
Turning her attention to McEntyre. "Doctor as a new Host they have a window of seventy two hours before the joining has to be perinate, after that it will be fatal to the Host if it has to be removed." There was need to have a checkup considering the window of time didn't allow time for healing, sure with modern medicine the recovery time is a lot shorter but still required. Just like getting an organ transplant, the body itself could attack the Symbiont making matters much worse.

>> VIP Quarters >>
Escorted by the impressively large Klingon that was the Security Chief, C'Had Kestir strolled into Sickbay, not looking one bit as intimidated as he should have been. In fact, he appeared to be quite at ease, which turned to seemingly amused as he took a few steps into Sickbay.
"Hello, doctors." The Trill said, smiling. "You just couldn't wait to take my clothes off, hm? All right, I'll take off my shirt, but I don't think your Security would want to be in the room for much longer after that." A playful smile was directed at Gath.
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Gath - 06-23-2025
Gath dutifully escorted Kestir to Sickbay. Upon arrival, he dismissed the other Security officers so that they could change into their duty uniforms. He quickly mentioned to Sam that she would need to change the rosters to reflect the increased manning requirements, but that she was at liberty to adjust it as she saw fit. She would need to inquire with the Captain about the details for the dinner, but the rest was pretty straight forward.
When Kestir made his small attempt at humor, Gath simply replied, "I will let you and the medical staff do what is required. I will stand by in the waiting area."
Gath made sure to meet the eyes of Lt Evie O'Fee and gave her a polite nod and simple but respectful acknowledgement, "Doctor..."
== Tag to the medical staff and GM as needed. Gath will stand by, but will not need to remain close enough to encroach on Kestir's privacy. ==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Evie O’Fee - 06-24-2025
It didn't take too long before her new patient to come through the doors with Gath was with him. "This is not what I expected, even though I knew it was a possibility at some point this mission." She said before he started to speak.
"Hello, doctors." The Trill said, smiling. "You just couldn't wait to take my clothes off, hm? All right, I'll take off my shirt, but I don't think your Security would want to be in the room for much longer after that." A playful smile was directed at Gath.
"Keep your trousers on Vanilla Bean, it sounds more like you are wanting to take them off more than anything." There were a few facts that Evie needed to sort out first, starting with the window of time that she was dealing with.
"The first thing we need to know closely followed by the secondary question. How long ago did the joining process happen? and why were we not informed?" In a situation like this she should have been informed, just like any medications to avoid creating a new hazard.
"If you want some privacy we can use O.R. one if you like."
"I will let you and the medical staff do what is required. I will stand by in the waiting area."
Gath made sure to meet the eyes of Lt Evie O'Fee and gave her a polite nod and simple but respectful acknowledgement, "Doctor..."
Evie gave Gath eye contact as well with a smile. "Gath." She did appreciate that he was there, more than likely because it was just policy. Right now she was gauging the response of the new Host.

RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - GM-06 - 06-28-2025
“Vanilla Bean?!” C’Had repeated, laughing and looking amused. He sat down at the end of a bed and did his best to look attentive, seeming to respect the CMO that was able to banter with him.
“To answer your first question, the Joining took place the night before last. I’m coming up on hour 33 of 93. I was to join with Kestir anyway, but she insisted she was healthy enough to do one more trip. I knew she was just being stubborn, which I respected, but then she went and died on us all, rushing everything.
“The medical team that responded to Kestir’s house-staff didn’t inform the council of what was happening until we were almost done in surgery – they were really only concerned with keeping Kestir alive. Anything else was inconsequential.”
He shrugged.
“I feel okay.” C’Had admitted. “Transporter made me feel a little light-headed, but I recovered using my charm and wit.”
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Charlotte Dawes - 06-28-2025
Charlotte watched the interaction between the patient and Dr. O'Fee with interest. He seemed to enjoy being a handful, and Dr. O'Fee handled him with ease - no doubt not the first time an overly flirtatious patient had visited her medical facilities.
"Your charm and wit?" Charlie quipped from her position to the left and slightly behind the doctor. "Has that helped you out quite a bit in life, or is this a newly acquired skill?" She asked.
==Tags==
RE: ZE/D03 - Sickbay - Emery Tyris-McEntyre - 06-29-2025
Emery was a blushing mess. The trill before them was, for a lack of a better word: drop dead gorgeous. Though for the Caitain, he was super obvious about it, at least his face was. He blushed deep red, shyly turning his head to hide the fact and thankful for the layer of fur from his Caitain heritage to hide it. The Trill's comments were certainly something, Emery thought, Charm and Wit would be something that Emery would have thought would be helpful. He was neither charming nor witty.
Charlotte’s comment on it though, made him smile.
“Perhaps, Ambassador Kestir, you would like an escort over to the biobed. We’ll try to make our exams as painless as possible.” Emery said with a coy smile, trying at least to be as flirty as the Ambassador was. Something about this trill made Emery’s heart race, in a good way, his blush getting only deeper as he tried his own flirtations.

Evie was listening to him closely paying attention to every small detail, the longer this goes the better. Both parties would be united, and the memories that go along with it. "I have made my people aware if it comes to saving the host or the symbiont, save the symbiont because without it the Host still dies." Evie knew that Trill that get trained to Host are aware of this fact, and they still agree to it.
"Your charm and wit?" Charlie quipped from her position to the left and slightly behind the doctor. "Has that helped you out quite a bit in life, or is this a newly acquired skill?" She asked.
At first Evie wasn't sure how to respond, it was just in her nature. "Its an Irish thing, I learned to walk in a pub where this language is common. Sometimes it doesn't stop there, it has stopped more pub fights than I care to admit. "She had a devilish smile. "Another Irish thing."
“Perhaps, Ambassador Kestir, you would like an escort over to the biobed. We’ll try to make our exams as painless as possible.” If he wanted to do the examination, Evie wasn't going to stand in his way. "If you do the examination be sure to look for any signs of rejection, if we catch it soon enough there is time to stop it." It was her big concern about the whole thing.
