Hezuela accepted the introduction with a nod and returned it with a grin. "Pleased to meet you as well, so what's the problem?". Of course, she could have expressed herself in a much friendlier manner, however, they could settle such matters over a cup of tea on the Prominade instead of an emergency. 


"I came in to find Doctor Solice on the floor unconcious. After checking her circulation and respiration I checked for head injuries and found this." She walked over and indicated the small unit still blinking serenely on her brow. "You will notice that Sanchez has one as well. The Doctors vital signs are strong and stable so she appears to be in no imminent physical danger but I'm concerned about what is going on with the device.“


The Orion nodded at the explanation and routinely reached for the medical tricorder. One keystroke and the device began to work, scanning the officer's body and reflecting the readings in scales and tables on the small screen. The doctor's vital signs were stable, as Kathy had said. Blood pressure readings, pulse rate, circulation. 
"I think I understand the nature of her dilemma now," she murmured, a little absorbed in the readouts, then turned her gaze back to the doc. "What have you found out already?“


"Look at this." Kathy changed the bio readout on the screen above Sanchez's head to scan for neural activity. The pattern form then began to scroll across the screen. "And this." She used the tricorder in her hand to scan the doctor then handed it to Hezuela. "You will note that the neural patterns are identical. These devices have their brainwave patterns linked."


Interested, she accepted the tricorder from Kathy and looked at the readouts there. "Interesting," was all she said, and with a few key commands called up the readouts to look into it further. 


Kathy nodded. "There's more. Doctor Solice at times has adrenal reactions causing increased heart rate, muscular twitches and increased body temperature as though she is exerting herself which is not physical but mental. I think she is in his mind and I don't know what she is seeing. I'm scared of what might happen but I don't know what will result if we disconnect them. It might cause a synaptic backlash or neural disruption. There may be some way to power the device down gradually and bring her out of it but I know nothing about it.“


"Your concerns are definitely justified," Hezuela said thoughtfully, taking another careful look at the tricorder readouts, then glancing again at the screen above Sanchez's head. Then she grabbed the root of her nose and puffed. This was really what she needed to be happy now. "They're both Humans, right?“ 

(Reply Kathy Miller)

"Good," she replied to the information, thinking for a moment. Fortunately, since there was no immediate danger to the doctor, Hezuela didn't have to devil-may-care to find a way to interrupt the thing in the next few seconds. "We should attach a neurocortical monitor first, so we can keep an eye on her brainwave  should anything change.“

(Reply Kathy Miller)
