Regenerate This!

[Vilanne 0]

The India Team. They were still a point of discussion in sickbay. Dr Chalice was glad to relinquish as acting CMO after placing the appropriate notes in Dr Mele's medical records… and Vilanne didn't even have to forge them. Kyle had finished his true treatments as ordered. Though it was a relief to be out of the hot seat, sickbay was still a buzz about the new equipment, the new mission, and the questions surrounding Morris' abrupt disembarking. Vilanne couldn't stop thinking, talking, discussing, and even gossiping about how Morris set up a mission of this caliber, and bailed at the moment they were going to be in harms way. The India Team was supposed to have made enhancements in every department, but Dr Chalice hardly kept track of the regular happenings much less whatever the India Team was working on. One rather large piece of equipment was delivered, installed and turned on. A control panel was plopped down on the cart that the machine was sitting, along with hover controls to move it freely around sickbay. Reading through the panel of a list of features was alarming. Bone, Dermal, Myelin, Osteo and Vascular regenerators were the main features in the list, however, going into the sub-features of these main sections made Vilanne paused in one. "Caesar, are you getting a load of this?" She pointed to the console with Silviu over her back. Vilanne started reading out loud, "Says here, 'With a splice of DNA, portions of the </SPAN>membranous tissue can be regenerated to contain the same molecular structure as the dermal tissue encased at the surgical site. Dermal regeneration settings can be adjusted to accommodate many known species." She quit reading out loud. Everyone was reaching over her shoulder, taping different screens, checking out all sorts of stuff. There was a plethora of data included with each setting, complete with instructions, test screens and ample warnings. She paused to read, then reread out loud, "WARNING DISCLAIMER: Klingon tricipital lobes have only been regenerated in a clinical setting. Caution must be taken as this technology is continually being developed to regenerate not o nly for this species, but other sentient life forms that rely on their exoskeleton encasing for physical protection of the area covered and has not been approved by the Surgeon General for full regeneration. '… we could have used this to help the Admiral! I bet that's what they are doing with him." Tissues, spinal cords, disk regenerators… in the back of Vilanne's mind, thoughts were saying, in a 6M-Dollar-Man-Voice, "We can build them better, stronger… faster."

 

There was a portable regenerator attached to one end. It was lifted it out of its caddy by one of the many standing around this new machine. Vilanne flipped her long hair behind her shoulder then tucked it neatly behind her ear just as grave images in the back of her mind began to form; dark and cold, loud and with a strange taste in the back of her mouth. Vilanne didn't know what any of this meant, so she blinked it away and went back into investigating the new technology. The console panel was interesting enough for Vilanne to stay with it until everyone else left the area for either meals or shift change, but she couldn't get away from this one. There wasn't anything that could pull her from this machine, and she didn't understand the strange draw to such technology. There was a very small area building of spittal at the edge of her lip, though it didn't grow large enough to form a full drop, it was there, glistening.
