 (Vulcan - ShiKahr- Nivar Institute-Neural Treatment Suite 2- Dr. Felicity
Tate -- 0905)

T'Mur was in loose fitting pants and a blouse rather than the diaphanous
gown she had worn during the exam. She was lying on her back on a tabletop
in the center of the room. The table was anchored to a single central
pillar that jutted from the floor. It was surrounded by a recess the
length, width and thickness of the table. Once the treatment had begun the
table would be withdrawn and merge seamlessly into the floor.

A control panel for the equipment was at the far end of the room. Felicity
had been clinical and detached, not wanting to cause the woman further
discomfort. There had been no questions. She would do her job and let the
young woman depart with some semblance of dignity.

"Just relax, you are going to be here for the next 13 days but it won't
seem like it. You will go to sleep and when you wake up you will be a new
woman."

(Reply: T'Mur)

"The side effect I noted before is very simple and not dangerous. The
neural regeneration rolls back the clock for a patient but is more
noticeable in the aged. Those who are old have regained 30 years or more of
their youth while the young are hardly changed at all. You are young enough
that you will barely notice a difference. It doesn't affect one temporally.
A person isn't changed from an adult to a youth or a child, it merely
rejuvenates the one who goes under it."

(Reply: T'Mur)

"The mechanism will take over your involuntary functions such as repiratory
and vascular to keep your body functioning. The process takes 3 days. This
hasn't changed since it was first designed. It has to take over slowly so
your system won't be thrown into shock. The actual treatment will take 7
days but we can't bring you out of it instantly or the shock to your system
would be fatal. There will be another 3 days to return control of your
involuntary systems back to you. You will be in stasis during the entire
process. Ready?" Small disks like synaptic stabilizers had been attached to
her temples. Their only function was to monitor the patient during the
entire process.

(Reply: T'Mur)

Felicity gave her an injection that would stimulate the production of the
stem cells that would speed up the process of regeneration. This
breakthrough had brought the original timeline down from 30 days to half
that and sometimes less. A second injection was the sedative that put her
to sleep. Having done that she moved to the panel and initiated the
sequence.

Two thick probes descended from the ceiling until they were level with the
table and less than 2 inches from the head and foot of it. She then
activated the machinery. Doctor Solice was standing nearby watching the
procedure.

A rising hum from the probes indicated they were powering up. "Almost
there."

Several lights on the panel turned green and Felicity keyed in the code
that initiated the protocol. Two technicians and a healer walked in on cue
and took up position nearby. There was a wait of 2 minutes before the table
retracted back into the floor leaving T'Mur suspended in the air between
the two probes.

Felicity gave the panel a last look. The transfer had begun and was stable.
She stepped away and a tech took her place, the entire transference would
be monitored round the clock. She then walked over to Quinna.

"Any questions doctor?"

(Reply: Quinna)
