A Log – The Art of Deduction

 

Miranda had hooked up her tricorder to the computer system. “Just like rewiring a lighting board,” she had said to Aaron. The truth was she was no engineer and had never done anything like this. After a few initial sparks she managed to make a connection. Quickly she started to upload any medical information on the Revins and any similar species. There wasn’t much but it was a start. Whatever this Revin had it was slowly spreading and one by one shutting down him major organs. Aaron had traced the virus and found that it had been present for over six weeks. It was obviously not something that Revin had caught while he was on their ship. A sudden thought hit Miranda, contamination. She and Aaron had been exposed to the alien and if it was an airborne virus everyone in sickbay let alone the ship could be infected including Merri and her newborn son. First things first, set up a quarantine and check out Aaron and herself. Her tricorder started to blink; looking over it she quickly read the data. It was not looking good for their guest. She read on, data popped up on three species with similar physiology. Two of those species were present on board the Arc. Maybe by looking at them as well might shed some light on this mystery.
