<strong>Day 1 - 1235</strong><br/><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3f/Yul_brynner.jpg)</div>Character: Dr. "Tiger" (Ty) Nadami (Lt. Cmdr. Aono Tsayafa Nadami), CMO<br/>Location:  Sickbay<br/>With:    None<br/>Doing:  Calling Dr. Nuress<br/>Tagging: open<br/><br/>Nadami sits watching the pair of computer-simulated phages contort and reproduce themselves on the screen of his PADD. One is the Legato infection first recorded on the planet Neural on Stardate 9892.4. The other is the Huntzel adaptive parasite first identified on Centaurus some ten years later. Apparently Dr. Nuress' expertise on these and similar adaptive plagues, and her voicing of her suspicion to Starfleet Medical that the Obi VI plague might be something similar, is a big part of what's motivated Starfleet command to insist on her for this mission.<br/><br/>The treatment centre outside his office is still quiet, but the rest of the sickbay complex is bustling. He's called in every nurse and orderly, every research officer the<em>Phoenix</em>has, pressed every lab and every zettabyte of computer resources at his disposal into service for researching these two infections, finding or replicating carefully-quarantined samples thereof to test their behaviours, turning up every scrap of data related to them or any organism like them. No doubt the sudden intensity of the timetable will have some of them grumbling, but there's nothing for it; he has to know if they can perform under pressure, and he has to have something intelligible (at the very least) to offer Dr. Nuress by the time she comes aboard.<br/><br/>In the meantime, taking a quick swig from an herbal flask as he looks at the viewscreen on his desk, he prepares himself mentally for whatever he's about to let himself in for. He hasn't been able to find out much about Nuress' personality in Starfleet Medical's databases, and after all why would he? Stowing the flask away, he says: "Computer. Initiate subspace link with Starbase 9. Outgoing message: 'This is<em>USS Phoenix</em>Chief Medical Officer Dr. Nadami paging Dr. Nuress. Please respond. Over.'"
