Some news for the blue.

Posted on Thu Nov 15th, 2018 @ 6:44pm by Lieutenant Commander Thex sh'Zoarhi & Lieutenant Asa Dael

Mission: Escaped Pantheons
Location: Medbay

Thex was feeling happy as she walked through the medbay doors. The news she's received recently had made her extremely happy and even her problems with the artifacts now felt thousands of miles away. Talking a seat she waited patiently for the duty nurse to call her.

Instead of a nurse, Asa popped out of their office, buzzing with their typical energy.

"Good morning Lt. Commander! How wonderful to see you! Won't you come in? I was just about to grab myself a Horchata from the replicator. Can I get you something?" they called to greet her.

" A warm andorian ale sythahaul of course. " Thex replied as she stood up and headed for one of the empty bio beds.

The doctor retrieved the requested beverage and returned to their office.

Talking her drink from the doctor the engineer gave a polite smile as she took a sip from the tanker. " That's lovely doctor. I have a question to ask you and i need your help with something."

"Well of course, always happy to help!" chirped Dael, walking around their desk with a Horchata in hand for themself. They made a mental note to not get a milky mustache drinking this time, as that did not exactly scream competent professional. Asa took a seat and flashed a warm smile at the Andorian beauty in front of them. "What can I do for you?"

" I need you're help to run a DNA test. I've meet an Anear who interested in dating me, but given my peoples problems, we'd like to have the test run to see if we could have children in the future. " Thex explained calmly as she held up a data crystal.

The doctor leaned over and took the crystal, putting it into a nearby receptacle. "Of course, I would be happy to help. Let's start with a blood draw and complete DNA scan."

They leaned to a bottom drawer and picked up a small hypo and walked around to sit next to Thex. Asa took their tricorder off their hip and began a complete scan of Thex, gathering preliminary data for the blood draw to validate. Once that was complete, they turned and looked at her, asking "Left arm or right? Any preference?"

" I'm okay with any doctor. " Thex said as she rolled up her sleeves.

Seeing a slightly better vein on the left side, Doctor Dael did a quick blood draw and plugged the hypo directly into the analyzer on the side of their desk.

"Shouldn't take but a moment...." Asa said, grabbing a tissue knitter and quickly healing the small puncture the needle made.

While the computer completed a full spectrum DNA analysis, Doc Dael turned and gazed into the Andorian's eyes. "So, this is a big step, huh? A big part of fertility is both parties mental state. So I wouldn't be a good doctor if I didn't ask....how are you feeling?"

" I don't really know. Nervous, hopeful, apprehensive. Just a large list of emotions going through my head. I've been looking for so long and it would be nice to finally meet someone i can attempt to have a future with." Thex replied calmly.

Doc Dael reached over and gently held Thex’s left hand with their right. “Perfectly understandable,” they said in a calm tone. “We will find a way, I know this is important to you. Let me just read the results real quick.”

With a parting squeeze to the others hand, Asa moved back behind their desk and pulled up the results of the bioanalysis on a large PaDD in front of them. They scanned it briefly, making sure to keep their face blank until they read all the results.

“Well, you will need a few injections with some DNA augmenters from the Shedai meta-genome databank for your third sub-helix to be strengthened to be compatible with her primary sub-helix, but beyond that, good news! It looks to be a match!” the doctor chirped brightly.

A smile spread over Thex face as she felt a weight being lifted from her shoulders. " Thank you, doctor, you can't believe the weight that feels like it's been lifted from my shoulders. I'm sure she'll be happy as well."

"I'm so glad," Asa replied with a genuine smile. "We should start treatment one cycle prior to any attempts on the two of your parts. When would you like to begin?"

Thex let out a slight giggle. " We'll need to find a Chan and Thaan to provide the other ingredients first of all doctor. I know my people reproductive biology fell out of the evolutionary tree a few times. "

Asa's ears reddened, "Um, of course, yes, I, uh, didn't know if you....already had them?" they squeaked. "Just let me know whenever you are ready and we can begin treatment. And if you are exposed to any hazardous chemicals between now and then, please let me know. Any changes to your subhelix structure will impact the treatment plan. So, avoid explosions if possible?" the doctor concluded with a wink.

" I'll do my best doctor, but I can't guarantee anything. My job has a habit of involving explosions." Thex said as she slid off the bio bed.

With a chuckle, Asa replied, "No criticism here, I'm a bit death prone myself apparently. Just let me know as soon as you can and we'll figure it out, ok?"

" Will do. Look after yourself Asa." the andorian engineer said as she made her way to the door. She had a clear spring in her step which was obvious to anyone.
