(USS Exeter - Medical Sciences Lab - SF MedObs Cmdr Ailynn Bracken and
Ens(sg) Gabriella De Luca - 1400)



Gabriella looked up from the screen as the footsteps approached her
station. Footsteps that over the course of the last couple of hours, she
had grown to be accustomed to all too well. As she watched Commander
Bracken get closer, she saw her eyes flit over each screen that she passed,
it was altogether too clear that the woman saw everything, taking in an
entire screen of information in a single glance. A fact that she had found
out the hard way when she’d presented her first preliminary report.



“Thank you Ensign.” The Commander handed back the PADD. “Keep along these
lines of investigation at the moment, there may be something.”



“Ma’am,” Gabriella had looked confused at the tall, amazonian-like figure,
“forgive me, did you see the conclusions on page nine?”



Bracken had scowled slightly, but the expression disappeared as soon as it
appeared. “I did yeah,” She half smiled with a wink “I read quick.”



~no shit~ Gabriella had thought, and it stayed in her head too, because
sometimes people who could switch on a silly playful smile and demeanour as
she’d seen the Commander doing, altogether too often could switch the other
way too into ferocious concentration, and there was something in Bracken’s
eyes that suggested she would broker no nonsense.



“Commander. Experiment Kappa-three-five-six on set of variables Theta.” She
stepped to one side “Some interesting features.”



“Excellent Miss De Luca. Your thoughts on this?”



“Not my field ma’am, but…” She paused, “the radiation seems to have an
effect of the Structure of the Golgi apparatus, causing protein folding to
become erratic. However I can’t replicate it at will. It’s seemingly
random.”



“Interesting. What do you make of the cloudiness of the cytoplasmic media?”



Gabriella cursed herself. “Again, changes but not consistent, with either
the applied radiation or the effects of the protien folding.”



“Run it again, cross match it against every change that you can see. Run it
run it again, then rerun it. Decent observations, now give me more depth.
You say it’s not your field, but we’re talking about a form of radiation,
so it is, don’t look at a cell, look at a bunch of atoms yes?”



Gabriella was stunned, she was abashed by the Commanders take on things.
Seeing the look on De Luca’s face Ailynn smiled. “You’re doing well.
Seriously, I am not an easy person to impress, you just need to relax is
all, this isn’t your finals, you aren’t going to get marked down by not
following the textbook. I like weird ideas and approaches, they’ve saved my
life more than once.” She smiled and nodded. “Carry on Ensign.”



De Luca returned the nod, and turned back to her station. “Ma’am.”
