Infection

Well, he said it. Now what? Whatever Elaine's answer would be would affect the outcome of their relationship. However maybe now was not the most opportune time for asking her. Juhdia could see the others, thriving in pain. He too was slowing succumbing to his own pain, but there is one thing he had over the others. Several thousands of years of pain, this was old hat for him.

 

He had encountered pain like this before. It started to feel like a bad hangover, so he decided to cure it the only way he knew how too. Drink some more. But that did not go over well. So he bite the bullet of his pride and went to see the Doctor.

 

From seeing the others suffering as he was, Juhdia thought it best to close down the Morningstar incase this was some kind of infection, brought aboard by the mysterious Alien. Good thing Elaine and Brian agreed with him. However, should Cmdr Corizon have not interfered with Juhdia's lockdown order, then this 'infection' may have not have spread.

 

Who had gotten off Morningstar before Elaine's order was sent. Now they could spread this 'infection'.

 

The pain reminded Juhdia of the 'bends'. He had only experienced it twice, but this was not unlike it. But it was more. This was like an infection. He was experiencing an intense feeling of cold, not unlike when he traveled with Admiral Bird to the Artic. He shivered. No this was like something else he had felt before.

 

"Bloody Hell, it's the Black Plague all over again."

 

Juhdia remembered his time as a Doctor during the plague and when he too had succumbed to the plague. The pain, the fever, feeling cold. These were all signs of an illness. But it had effected so many different species the same way, so this was unlike any 'infection' he had encountered before. A Trill, an Andorian, a genetically engineered hybrid Human Cougar and him. So this was unlike anything he had seen before.

 

Had it been brought aboard by their mysterious visitor. That would be left to be seen. But for now that was the only possible cause.

 

Juhdia was sure this visitor had come aboard when the Morningstar was attacked. He was unlike the Al-Ucard, or Surmac. So that could be the only way he came aboard. But for now this was not his concern. Getting better was what mattered to him. But before he could get better he would see to it the pain and suffering of the others would be seen to first.
