Medical Log

Maryse stepped into her office, shutting the door behind her. After ordering a drink and a plate of food from her replicator, she took a seat at her desk. “Computer, begin recording.” The computer chirps in reply.

 

“Chief Medical Officer’s log, stardate 0410.2016.

 

Ketracel White, or sometimes known simply as the white is an addictive narcotic containing an isogenic enzyme and nutrients used by the Founders and Vorta to control the Jem'Hadar. One of the active ingredients of white was yridium bicantizine. Without the enzymes, the Jem’Hadar would suffer from extreme withdrawal symptoms and eventually die as a result.

 

It would seem that someone, whether it be Dominion or another source, has altered Ketracel in a way that it can affect a multitude of races. It had been modified in numerous ways. Infused in the hot springs, the food and drink, even in the air pump systems. And now some of our crew has now come into contact with the substance.

 

I have taken blood samples from our entire away team to study the long term effects it will have on our systems and have come up with a prognosis. We will begin suffering various degrees of withdrawal. Symptoms may include irritability, mild headaches, cravings for certain foods or drink, and possibly even certain...basic animalistic desires.

 

I expect the team lead by myself will most likely suffer the most, since we were exposed longer than Commander Hawethorne’s team. I will have to watch them further.

 

I also suspect the Admiran symbiote may provide Tandaris with a small level of protection, but I doubt he will be fully immune.

 

As for myself, my faster metabolism has given me a small amount of comfort, but I still find myself affected to a degree…” She paused a moment, looking at the tall glass of strawberry smoothie and plate of strawberry crepes.

 

“My only recommendation at the moment is rest in order to let the symptoms pass. I will continue to monitor the situation.

 

On a side note, if we had stayed any longer I fear we may never have returned to the Excalibur.”

 

Maryse ended the log, relaxing in her chair. She stared at the food a moment before finally grabbing the glass, taking a long draw of drink from the straw. “Ahh…” A big smile on her face emerged as she spun around in her chair. Maybe this wasn’t going to be as bad as she thought.
