Patients Rooms 2 (Private and Shared)

Lyssa had waited patiently for the interns to remove themselves from the room before she made her way to Tigress's bedside and began checking the Farghul over. All of her vital signs were perfect for her species and Lyssa heaved an inward sigh of relief at that. While she was still skeptical of Cammy's machine, it had obviously worked because Tigress was awake and talking and in seemingly good health. Stepping back from the bed, Lyssa smiled at Tigress.

"Well everything seems like it's in working order. All of your wounds have healed nicely over the last few weeks and your vital signs are good. I'd say as long as you're feeling up to it you could probably be discharged....as long as Dr. Morviael is satisfied with your progress." She cast a quick glance over to Cammy before meeting Tigress's gaze again with a reassuring look.

Tigress turned to Lyssa, recognising the woman from some of the memories that the Imprint had shared with her. She gave a nod and remained still as the doctor performed her checks, to make sure Cammy wasn't trying anything underhanded. She smiled and kept her attention on Lyssa, when she gave her ok and updated her on her condition

Thank you...
She then turned her attention back to Zion as he placed his hand on her shoulder. She gave him a reassuring smile as he seemed to have perked up a little bit in the last couple minutes. She had spent far too much time laying down and doing nothing, she was well overdue for an adventure. It would give her a chance to get back into the thick of things and take her mind off some of what had happened.
She swung her legs over the side of the machine, before using Zion as leverage to help pull herself up from the bed and onto her own two feet, pausing for a moment as she re-adjusted to standing up,after having laid down for so long. She winked at Zion when she was finally balanced and feeling confident of her footing

I'm a cat, adventure is my middle name...

The nurses wheeled Shay into one of the private rooms, taking a moment to quickly hook him up to some monitors, before leaving Cammy and the other two crew members alone, with Cammy taking a moment to note down a couple of readings from the monitors before turning to the other two men
=Caoimhe Morviael=
Well, your friend seems to have made it through the surgery. We managed to remove all the metal fragments and patched up a few other wounds, but we're going to need to keep him in for observation and give his wounds some time to properly heal... Do you have any questions?

Dr. Linden was staring, completely baffled, at the holoscreen on the scanning machine. The young woman, Nayara Selene, who was laying on the exam table had contracted a very highly aggressive mystery illness. According the her medical file from various doctors and healers across the galaxy, there was no known treatment or cure. The only thing keeping the disease in check was the fact that the young woman was Force sensitive. Looking at the scans again, Dr. Linden was at a loss on what to do for Nayara so doing what any reasonable doctor would do, he sent a message to Dr. Lyssa Ramaela to get another opinion.

After a few moments, Lyssa came walking into the room dressed in her usual colorful cartoon printed doctors scrubs. Glancing from Dr. Linden to the exam table, she saw a young woman laying there hooked up to several machines. The woman was fully conscious and alert, so Lyssa was a little perplexed as to why Dr. Linden had called her in. Leveling her gaze questioningly at Linden, she folded her arms across her chest and spoke. "So what's up? Why am I here? What's the big emergency?"

"This is it." Dr. Linden looked away from the holoscreen for a moment and handed her the datapad containing Nayara's medical file before continuing. "She has contracted this disease that releases fungal spores into the system from a bite from some kind of creature that practically nobody has ever seen or heard of before so there is no known treatments or cures as of yet. Apparently the only thing keeping her alive thus far is the fact that she's Force sensitive...a Jedi in training. It seems the Force has kept the disease in check so far."

Lyssa took the datapad he handed her and began reading what the young woman's previous physicians had found and the conclusions they had came to regarding Nayara's condition. Looking over the notes on several of the symptoms, Lyssa noticed a movement out of the corner of her eye and turned to the young woman in time to see Nayara's foot start twitching. Raising an eyebrow, she looked up to the holoscreen again and saw the monitor spike a few times with each twitch. Turning her gaze to the young woman, she watched the twitching for a moment before smiling warmly and speaking.

Nayara, I'm Dr. Lyssa Ramaela, but you can just call me Lyssa. As for your question....I'm not going to bullshit you. I have never seen anything like this in all my years as a doctor. From what I've just read in your file, it honestly amazes me how you're still alive. How long ago did you get bit, and is the twitching a new symptom or did you have it before?"

Lyssa was already bringing up the info on her datapad about the Republic Marines while Nayara spoke. Reading over the the findings and conclusions that the ships doctors had came to regarding the marines' rapid deterioration after being bitten/stung by the mysterious creature caused Lyssa to pause a moment as she chewed on her lower lip thoughtfully. Almost from the moment the marines had been infected their entire systems began shutting down one by one. Some were lucky enough to die within a few hours, while others death took a few days to release them from their agony. According to the head doctors notes, the symptoms like Nayara was experiencing had progressed much more rapidly in the marines' bodies causing a painful drawn out death as muscles and organs began to atrophy. All the while the marines could still feel the pain, were still aware of their surroundings and of what the disease was doing to their bodies but the paralysis in the third, and last, stage prevented them from even crying out.

Looking up from the datapad, Lyssa listened with great interest as the young woman told her that she'd been bitten 18 months ago, the twitching in her foot had started about 8 months ago and was often followed by muscle cramps. Also, the twitching was usually a precursor to a fever. Pursing her lips, Lyssa folded and arm across her chest and rested the other arm atop it while putting a finger to her mouth as she thought over what Nayara had said for a moment.

"The Republic ships doctor, and other medical personnel, kept decent enough accounts of this but...." Reaching over, Lyssa swiped one of the holoscreens off to the side with a hand and brought up another page of Nayara's medical file and compared it side by side with that of one of the marines.

"...without an expert in the field of xeno-biology, I'm not entirely sure how they came to some of these damn conclusions about how the infection works exactly. Lucky for you, I do, however, have experience in DNA. If we can isolate the genetic markers of the spores - which, by the way, I'm not entirely convinced it's actually spores without further testing - but if we can isolate the genetic markers we might be able to find, at the very least, an effective treatment that will possibly keep the symptoms at bay and you alive for a few more years." Lyssa began removing the needles from Nayara's arms and legs then pushed aside the scanner that was hanging directly overhead so the young woman could sit up if she wished. Folding her arms across her chest, she met Nayara's gaze before continuing to speak.

"There are drawbacks, as with everything in life, that even with the genetic testing we still might not be able to find a viable treatment in time. It sucks giant bantha balls, I know....but I seriously think it's worth a shot."
