[Medlab]
After his stint in the Holodeck with the Agent, Rylan limps into med bay and looks around, "DT?" Sprink, Rylan notices, is sitting in front of a computer, which seems to be talking to the creature. In curiosity, Ry quirks a cut eyebrow at the strange sight, then spies D`Tarik, who is over by the tube that contained the 'pet' that he intended for his assistant Emni. Motioning to his torn, bloodied, and dirty uniform, Rylan smirks and tries to draw the Medical officer's attention, "Little help here, DT?"
Finally noticing that someone had entered the lab, tr`Rekkohan turns, then asks in an admonishing tone, "Rylan, what did au do to ninte-self?"
Ry shrugs, "Holodeck bit me." he grins and limps over to a biobed. Sitting down on the edge of the bed he nods his head towards Sprink. "What's he doing? Pre-school for Tribbles?" he smirks in good humor.
"He's getting lessons on how to improve his speech" D`Tarik explained. Then with a frustrated sigh he added, pointing towards the bed Rylan sat on, "Lay down Rylan...."
"Alright...I'll trust au...." Ry does as told, a half-stern look on his features as he points an accusatory finger at the doctor, "But na antenna this time!"
"Don't worry about that." D`Tarik shakes his head absently, as he takes out a hand-held scanner. Moving the scanner over Rylan, he then looks at the readings, "Oh good job, Rylan!" he says sarcastically, "Two broken ribs, a fractured arm, a broken nose, twelve small lacerations and one major one, a sprained ankle, *and* au chipped a bone in ninte knee! Great job!" D`Tarik exclaims again with a mocking smirk. Setting the scanner down, he reaches in a pocket for one of his custom tools, "Good training, I take it?"
"Ie!" Ry answers with a wide grin, "It was!"
"And does Vanny plan on coming in as well?" D`Tarik inquires less then amused, then immediately adds, "Take off your shirt."
"Na....." Rylan tries to shrug as he sat up, and winces "au know Vyynd....he'll probably try to heal himself." he removes his jacket with difficulty.
"Role over to ninte side so I can put this," the shorter Romulan holds up a metallic patch, "on those ribs of yours...."
Complying, Rylan lays down again, this time on his right side. Spying the Tribble again he asks curiously, "So....what else does the talking Tribble say?" .
Not bothering to answer, D`Tarik lightly slaps the patch in place over Rylan's broken ribs. "Okay, roll back over so I can work on those lacerations, and the nose......and the arm....."
Rylan turns, then grins at D`Tarik, "Au'rh rather all business today.....what's wrong with you?"
"Here." tr`Rekkohan grabs a little half-cast with a computer screen on it and clamps it to Rylan's injured arm. Ry winces again when his arm was moved, but doesn't say anything. "Eh..." D`Tarik shrugs dismissively, "Au should know I like to get work done first. Here...." he injects Rylan's other arm with a blue liquid. At Ry's suspicious glare, tr`Rekkohan smiles, "For pain. Na-thing more." tr`Tuhmek quirks the cut eyebrow again, and waits to see the effects of the blue stuff.
After a few moments, Ry notices that the pain he had been in was no longer present. "Hey!" he grins and nods towards the hypospray on the table, "That's good stuff." his eyes narrow slightly as if he's trying to focus his vision, "Makes the room move a bit though..." he trails off.
"It's of my own design..." the doctor explains as if he shouldn't need to, moving the hypospray in question out of Rylan's view, "and it's quite addictive. I hide the supply of it for good reasons."
"Ie....I can see why." Ry grins as he looks about the medlab.
D`Tarik takes out his custom bone-knitter with his patented green goo that comes out of the small tube, and brings the knitter up to Ry's battered nose. "Hold still."
Rylan hears a chirp of the computer that Sprink's using and keeps trying to turn his head. At D`Tarik's demand for him to remain motionless, he focuses on the doctor again. His features look serious for a moment, then he asks the doctor with a note of surprise, "Hey! How come au'rh blue....?" then immediately tries to turn his head again at the next beep from Sprink's computer.
"Rylan if au don't stop moving, I'm going to slip with this thing. Now hold still!" D`Tarik warns, grabbing Ry's chin and turning his face back towards him again. Holding Ry's head still, he continues working on the nose, and finishes the job rather quickly. The small cuts tr`Tuhmek suffered from were also starting to seal themselves, the blue Aekh`Dehl acting as more than just a pain-killer.
As D`Tarik finishes repairing the damage to his nose, Rylan suddenly says, "Au look..." he hesitates for a moment, trying to decide what it was D`Tarik reminded him of, "Like an Andorian....without the antenna."
"I'm na blue.....just in kind of a serious mood. I've got a lot on my mind." D`Tarik let's go of Ry's head and moves down, "Okay, now to deal with ninte ankle and knee...."
Rylan suddenly grins, "Hey!! Au have antenna!!! Au can put them on!!" he nods sagely, "Then au'd be an Andorian..."
"Maybe I gave au too much of the Aekh`Dehl...." D'Tarik quirks a curious brow at Rylan as he works on repairing the damage to the ankle.
A serious look passes over tr`Tuhmek's face again as he pauses in thought. Then he suddenly grins again, "Na! I feel great!!"
"Exactly...."
"And *au* look like an Andorian...." Ry repeats with that same silly grin again as D`Tarik slaps a smaller one of the silver metallic patches on his ankle. "Anyway...." Ry's grin dies again as his eyes travel over the room. After a pause, he looks back at D`Tarik with a rather quizzical expression, "What was I thinking....?"
D`Tarik rolls his eyes at that, "Okay.... now for the small chip." he just lightly pokes him with the bone-knitter, "And now that big laceration across ninte abdominals..."
Rylan seems fixated on his last question and wonders to himself out loud, "I can't remember what I was thinking....." then slowly starts to grin almost evilly.
"Now..." D`Tarik warns casually, as he removes a tube of odd looking, skin-colored cream from a lab coat pocket, "au really have to hold still for this. Then you can rant on *all* au want."
Rylan focuses on DT again, "What is it?"
"It will seal the cut completely." D`Tarik explains, "The Aekh`Dehl I injected au with before -- which au seem rather sensitive to, because I barely gave au any...." D`Tarik quirks another brow at Ry, "Will seal a small laceration completely. But this," he points a finger to Ry's stomach, "Is more of a gash." He puts on a glove, then starts to rub the cream on it.
"Barely gave me any....?" Ry think about this, then nods, pauses for another moment, then asks casually, though the grin reappears, "And au keep it....where again?"
D`Tarik finishes sealing the wound without answering, "There. Now," he removes the glove and tosses it into the reclycler, "Stay in here for a few moments while the patchs do their work." Figuring that Rylan is too stoned to figure out what he was about to do, D`Tarik walks casually over to the doors. Hitting a button on the panel, he locks them, turning on the voice-activation mechanism. Turning back to face the stoned boy on the bed, he asked in more of a statement, "Don't go anywhere just yet...kay? Stay in the lab?" Rylan tries to look like a "good boy" and nods his compliance. Passing his friend another curious look, D`Tarik heads back over towards his 'pet' project, "Au know Rylan...I wasn't aware that au were so sensitive to medication....."
Rylan had been casually glancing about the room, generally wondering where D`Tarik did hide things like the potent 'blue stuff' when DT spoke. Covering a rather guilty expression, he asks, "Eh? I am...?"
"Ie." D`Tarik nods, not looking back at the taller boy, "The "high" of the medication should of worn off by now...and I know I gave au the right dosage."
Rylan suddenly looks nervous, "Am I allergic to it then?"
"Hmm....Emni should be coming in soon for duty...." D`Tarik thinks out loud, then hears Rylan's panicked question, "Na, au are na allergic." He reassures the other boy, "It's just working *better* then it should be. Oh well." he shrugs, "Better this, then au not being able to walk form pain."
Rylan nods and smirks, having been set at ease. "Ie....good for what ails au....." he trails off and his eyes begin to distractedly scan the room again. "So anyway...." he suddenly sits up, "How's the 'pet' coming along?" he gets to his feet and heads on over to see what DT's up to, "Is this it?" he points to the small tube on the table that held D`Tarik's attention.
"Ie." D`Tarik nods absently. "It's coming along nicely." The object in question was indeed, coming along. Still in the early fetal stages, the fleshy mass of yesterday evening had grown a little bigger, and has sprouted small limbs.
Rylan leans in closer to take a look. "It's a blue blob...with tiny, little sticks..." he looks puzzled. "That's na it!" he stands straight again, shaking his head. "That doesn't look anything *like* that thing did in the holodeck!" he points a finger at it, "Emni's na going want that!"
"Well it's still developing Rylan; it's na done." D`Tarik begins defensively, then suddenly realizes that the taller Rihan should be resting. "Rylan, why don't au go lay down on the bio bed...?" he motions across the room.
Rylan shrugs at that, "Na...I feel great!" he smirks, "I don't need to be here...Hann'yyo for helping DT." he waves as he heads for the doors.
Worried, D`Tarik opens the comline, and calls his assistant in a hushed voice, "Emni? I'm sorry if I'm waking au...." Rylan keeps walking, but the doors don't open for him. He walks into them with a loud "thump", then hits the floor. D`Tarik walks over and help Rylan to his feet again. As he's leading the stoned boy back towards the biobed, Emni answers through her com.
"Na rekkhai....I'm in the turbolift now actually. what is it?"
Rylan points back towards the doors as DT leads him to the biobed, "That needs to be fixed!"
Ignoring Ry's remark, D`Tarik answers his assistant, "I need au to escort Rylan to his quarters... he needs to rest." he puts it mildly, "He is having an...odd reaction to a pain killer I gave him."
Rylan suddenly pulls out of D`Tarik's grasp, "I'll get right on it, then!" and heads back to the doors.
D`Tarik whispers through the comline, "And the door is on voice-activation, so don't run into it."
"Ie rekkhai. On my way." Emni's voice floats over the com before she closed the channel.
As Rylan opens the panel and peers into the wiring, D`Tarik runs over and grabs him by the shoulder. "Rylan....I think the Leih wants to see au in ninte quarters....au will be escorted there."
Rylan doesn't look up from the wiring, "The leih....?" he pauses then shrugs, "Sure. Just let me fix these fvadt doors first....."
"Na, it's okay Rylan...really..." he tries to turn the bigger boy around, "Door open!"
Rylan raises a brow and stares at the doors, "Hey!! How'd au do that?" Not waiting for the answer, he starts walking out of the medlab."
D`Tarik takes a hypo out of his pocket, runs up behind Rylan, and injects him with anesthetic, causing Rylan to suddenly pass out and hit the floor. "Sorry Rylan....." he says apologetically, leaning over his friend and waiting for his assistant to arrive.
[Medlab]
Emni runs down the corridor then slows as she sees the other two, "Rekkhai....?" she directs at D`Tarik, kneeling down by Rylan to feel for a pulse, "What happened?"
D`Tarik looks at her and smiles reassuringly, "He's fine. He just needed some help resting."
"In the corridor?" she asks puzzled, shaking her head, "Let's get him back to medical. He should be monitored." she gets a grip on his feet.
"Ie, that was my plan." D`Tarik agrees.
Together, the two of them lift the knocked out boy and carry him towards the closest biobed.
As she secures Rylan to the bed with restraints she asks again, "What exactly happened here, DTarik?"
"He came in, hurt from a holodeck program, and I helped him. He was in great pain, so I gave him a pain killer.....which he is apparently sensitive to."
"Oh?" Emni pushes a button on the bed, and the monitor swings over Ry, encasing him; only his feet, head and shoulders show. "What kind of sensitivity, rekkhai?" She turns on the monitors, then steps out of the way for D`Tarik to take the readings.
"Well, I only gave him enough to kill the pain....and though it is strong stuff...it should of only caused some light-headiness. Instead, it put him in a high." he studies the monitors readouts as he explains.
"Has he had....problems with medications before?" Emni asks curiously, gently opening one of Rylan's eyelids to look at the dilated pupil of tr`Tuhmek's eye.
"Na....but I know it's na the medication itself, because I have used it before." he hesitates, then admits, "Though na on Rylan."
"Perhaps a bad batch of the medication then?" Emni shrugs, "We can run an analysis if au like."
"Na. I did that on the medication before I used it. It's of my own design." he looks back towards Rylan's face after having diagnosed the readings of the monitor's screen. "Ah....I was right. He's just overly sensitive to it. He'll be fine if he rests for a few hours." he hesitates, then looks at Emni, "But just to be sure....let's run a more thorough scan, just to be safe."
"Ie rekkhai." Emni punches the instructions into the computer, then steps aside again so D`Tarik can make a diagnoses.
He looks at her curiously, "I thought au said au would call me D'Tarik?" Not waiting for an answer, he turns back towards the monitor and reads over the information.
Emni blushes and looks down, explaining with a slight shrug "Sorry....the last CMO insisted on formality. Old habits."
"Hmm..." D'Tarik nods thoughtfully, "His liver is .... a bit messed up. That would be from his drinking. Hmm...I could work on that for him, but na without his permission." then he adds with a frown, "And Rylan won't give that."
Emni looks down at Ry and shrugs again. "Au could fix his liver without his permission, but it wouldn't do any good. He'd probably keep drinking anyway."
"Ie." D'Tarik nodded, knowing that was the truth. "Oh well, na-thing we can do about that." he frowns again, "We need to talk au and I." He walks away, letting Rylan sleep his high off, "Na-thing more we can do for him till he wakes up." he turns, and asks her from over in the corner, "Au want....to go?"
Emni quickly covers a 'what did I do' face, "Talk? About what?" she shakes her head, "Go where?"
"Ie..." D'Tarik turns to face Sprink, "Go back to my quarters. Load up ninte lessons on the computer in there."
".....ie...." Sprink hops off the table and out the door. Though she had noticed that the Tribble spoke, she didn't question it. She was too worried about what she could have possibly did wrong.
After the large Tribble hopped out of the medlab, leaving them alone, he began "I just wanted to say I was sorry for scaring au the other day. I'm having problems."
Emni looks relieved by that. "It's alright." she says kindly, looking to the ground, then back to him, "I'm here to help...if I can." she shrugs and looks away shyly, "Au just have to tell me what the problem is first."
"Eh maybe we can talk about it someday, but this is na exactly the time or place." he points to Rylan, "Maybe after we get off duty."
Emni nods, "Ie." she pauses, then smiles shyly, "Maybe au'll tell me....during dinner?"
"Sounds good." he smiles, then suddenly holds a finger in the air, "Oh! By the way, ninte pet is coming along nicely." his pointing finger lowered and aimed to the tube on the table.
"Ie?" surprised, she crosses the room to look at it. As she leaned closer, she smiled "It's in the early fetal stages." she glances to her chrono, "In only eight hours?" she smiles up to D'Tarik, "It won't take that long then. I thought it would take much longer...a month or two at least."
"Ie...well maybe I gave him a little 'help' in growing." D'Tarik admits. "Apparently, I had some growth hormones I had forgotten about. Once he's developed, I will give him or her the antenna. Did au want it male or female?"
Emni smiles excitedly, then looks back down at the creature, "Umm....I think a...he." she answers with a mysterious smile.
"Ah, okay good...because it's too late to make it a female anyway." He shrugs. Emni softly laughs at D`Tarik's joke, then he nodded and looked around, "Okay well, let's get to work. Since we don't have much to do, let's do an inventory of the lab, okay?"
Emni nods, "Ie, D'Tarik." She smiles at him again, then heads over to the cabinets.
D`Tarik bows slightly to her as she used his name, "Ie.....let's get to work."
[Medlab]
After finishing their inventory, Emni walks out of the Medlab to go get ready for her date with the doctor, leaving D`Tarik to finish typing the last of the inventory into the lab's computer. Rylan finally starts coming around, and he groans at the major headache he's been rewarded with. Reaching a hand up to rub his throbbing skull he mumbles, "What the Areinnye happened...?"
"Hey! Au'rh awake!" D`Tarik exclaims happily, "Aefvadh back to reality Rylan. We missed au!" he smiles warmly.
Rylan winces at the thunderous voice, "Wha...?" he squints at DT, "I don't remember drinking...."
"Au didn't....." D`Tarik admits, "Au had an odd reaction to a pain killer I gave au. Here," he hands him a tube of pills, "Take this for the headache."
Rylan looks at the container for a minute then smirks in his customary obnoxious way, "The whole fvadt tube?" he shakes one of them out, and swallows it.
"Take two." D`Tarik encourages.
Rylan nods, "Ie." and takes another.
"There au go." D`Tarik smiles again, "In a few moments au should feel na pain from the headache."
"The stuff au gave me....." Rylan begins, as he steps onto the floor, "I kinda remember it feeling....pretty good." he smiles and puts his bloodied jacket back on, then looks at his chrono. "Elements!! I've been out all day!"
"Ie....well, au were a bit sensitive to it...I am sorry." D`Tarik explains apologetically, "But I'm never going to give au another drop of that!"
Rylan thinks about the doctor's statement, then nods and says casually, "Ie... probably a good idea. Au should probably keep that under lock and key too."
"And I know au Rylan," D`Tarik warns sternly, "Don't go looking for that stuff either, Because I hide it. It's highly addictive."
Ry flashes him an innocent look, and acts insulted. "What do au mean, 'I know au...' What does *that* mean?"
D`Tarik only shakes his head, "Just don't go looking for it. Now, I'm supposed to go meet Emni for dinner, but I told her I was going to go relax on the holodeck before I did. Care to join me?"
Rylan, beginning to wonder where DT hides the stuff that helps him forget, the coveted stuff that stops the endless thoughts, nods in agreement "Ie..why na?"
"Okay, let's go then." D`Tarik waits a second, "After au." he motions to the medbay doors.
Rylan looks down at his uniform, "Mind if I change first though?"
"Na....I hate au." D`Tarik says sarcastically then smiles to let him know it was a joke.
Rylan smirks then motions towards the door, "My quarters first then."
"Okay." D`Tarik pauses then adds, "Au first."
Rylan raises a brow at him then starts forward, "What's a matter DT? Au act like au don't trust me or something....?"
"Believe it or na its for your own good." D`Tarik states blandly, "Now go." he points to the doors, "I need to shut stuff down and lock up anyway."
Rylan shrugs indifferently, "Suit ninte-self.' he starts off down the corridor, "See au in holodeck2." he calls over his shoulder, then hesitates and turns around, "Unless au wanted help cleaning up the lab?"
tr`Rekkohan presses a button on the keypad near the door, and the lights dim. He walks out and the doors close behind him, "Na, it's okay."
Rylan's shoulders droop almost imperceptibly, "Ie. See au in holodeck 2 then...." he calls back over his shoulder as he heads towards the turbolift that will take him to his quarters.
