The moment Danny tries to leave medical a marine stops him.
"I'm sorry sir, I can't let you through."

Raven squinted at the Doc and grumbled two herself which was largely incomprehensible except for a couple of words "Drink" & "Kriffing"

She sighed "ok, So a glitch brought us out early. Are we getting put back in for the rest of the trip? Or... Are we just making our new lives on-board now?"

"She has a good point." Said Edel, returning with a cup of tea in her hands. "I mean, how long will we have to stay here? Have we found another habitable planet? Where are we?"

"The latest news is that the Bridge found a sector of planets just a week away, with several planets in the habitational zone of it's sun. So who knows, we might be colonising very soon." Doc smiles solemnly now.
"Since Earth is most likely gone, we might be the last of humanity for all we know."
He stands up, walking to the coffee machine.

"They cannot put us back in cryo, there's not enough supplies on board to do that, and not nearly all the chemicals required for the process are available. Nope, this was a one way trip either way. We best make do with what we have I think."

A genuine smile brightened up her face as relief washed over Edel. "Only a week!? Thank you sir, the thought of staying in here for long was so bothering. Thank you again Dr. Genassi for taking your time to answer our questions, we really appreciate it."

She sighed in content. As she took her seat, she said something softly enough so that only Raven could hear her: "I guess your plans won't have to wait too long after all!"

She nodded to Edel. "Maybe we'll see, If we're going to colonize soon it's possible that the ship itself will be incorporated into that colony. So I could possibly setup on board and not have to budge an inch once we arrive."

She paced some more, eager to get out of the Medical Facilities and begin organizing her new life.

When Danny was interrupted by the marine, he had quite a shock to say the least. He almost spilled his coffee, but managed to only slosh some around the edge of the cup..

"Oh okay sir, apologies, I must not of been paying attention" he said apologetically, returning to his seat...

He was quite nervous, and his hands were shaking by themselves...

Eventually, around 5:28 , he finished his coffee , and went to ask the nurse if there was a bathroom in the medical facility.

The nurse quickly directed Danny to the sanitary area. A few moments later one of the Marines gave the all clear for the medical deck. Only the recreational deck was off limits now.
Two more nurses soon came to collect both Edel and Raven, taking some blood and giving both a couple of pills.
"In case you start feeling nausea, or disorientation, please come back as soon as possible. For now, I suggest you get to the barracks, the mess hall there is open, and I believe we have stew tonight."

It was 5:34, Danny left medical, as it was now open, and headed to his quarters.

Danny >> Danny's Quarters

"There better be Rum in the mess!" she announced. Raven headed to the door and then turned to Edel "Hey partner, you coming for some eats?" She asked with a smile waiting to see if she'd join her or go her own way.

"Don't you want to change? These jumpsuits are quite unflattering." She looked down at her body. The fabric was cheap and it made her hips look too big. But she loved the color. The perfect shade of gray. "I'm changing before going to the mess hall."

"Change where?" Whitechapel said as he joined Raven in heading to the turbolifts. "For what I hear this Vanderbeek is supposed to tell us where we will live. I just hope they have my clothes there. This jumper is ridiculous."

Vanderbeek? Another nederlander!, Edel thought. "Then let's first stop by Vanderbeek, then head to the cargo hold where we can find our stuff." She paused. Maybe Raven must be famished. Can't say I'm not. "How hungry are you?" She said, now turning towards the woman.

"Oh..." She said Holding her arms out and looking down her body. "Yeah, I'm gonna have to sort out my quarters too I've some special needs... Probably have to catch-up with you later" she made a really over exaggerated but genuine sad face at Edel.

" Maybe we can go see him together, then eats.... Doc, any clue where this Vanderperson can be found?"

Doc Genassi laughed.
"Marco, please locate chief morale officer Jan VanderBeek."

"CMO VanderBeek is currently in the barracks mess hall. He is on duty there untill 22.00 hours," the AI replied swiftly.

"That should answer your question I think," Genassi said with amusement in his voice.
"You can use Marco for lots of thing, but locating people is one of its functions."

"Thank you Marco!" She said cheerfully while looking up. "And thank you again sir" She added, looking at Genassi with a soft smile. Then, to Raven and Eric, "Let's go then"
--> Cargo hold

Drago took the blood samples and headed back to the lab. Running the all to familiar test to see if Hans was infected with the active pathogen or not. Drago suspected the odds were low but preferred not to take any chances.

Raven followed right behind Edel "Rock on!"

[To Cargo Hold]

Drago's equipment is quick with its answer. Fischer's blood shows no signs of activated tri-cellular organisms. They are as dormant as ever. White blood cell count however was at least ten times higher than normal, and they seemed hyperactive, attacking any and every discrepancy in the blood. Any but the triple-celled organisms that was.

***

Hans however has a discovery of his own. Despite the wound being small, it had been rather deep, but now, only an hour after he had suffered the scratch, the wound had almost healed. It seemed his body had shown a hyper-reaction to the wound, and accelerated the clotting and subsequent closing of the skin.
At this rate, in an hour there would no longer be any wound visible.

Drago eventually remembered to remove his hazmat suit as the last of the tests were concluded. Picking up one of the data pads he transferred all his findings over to it and proceeded to head back to Hans. Walking into the examination room, "Well Mr. Fisher it thankfully none of the organism is active in your system. But I did notice your white blood cells are hyperactive."

"That's not all..."He holds up his arm,showing a thin scar where there should have been an open wound. "I don't suppose you've ever seen such a fast healing rate before? Because I sure haven't...'

Looking over the thin scar where a open wound had been only a couple hours earlier "Well this will definitely take some work to explain. If I were back on Earth in my home country I could just wave it off with some ancient superstition and let the villagers burn you. But I guess we will just have to figure it out." A smile spread across Drago's face as he finished and he suppressed an laugh, "Sorry that wasn't very funny, guess I'm just a little on edge."

Hans snorts in amusement and hops off the bed.
"Well seeing as it's not going to go septic and I don't have to worry about tearing any stitches I might as well do something useful" He flexes his arm, staring at the scar"If we're assuming this is the virus at work...Which isn't that much of a leap...How far can it go? How much can it heal?"Enough to bring a dead man back to life?He thought inwardly as he followed Drago out of the room and into the med bay proper.

"Those are the very questions that we need to answer. Hopefully the answers are something we can deal with." Pacing slowly around the room as he studied the data on he datapad, "Does Genassi know about this side effect?"

Hans shrugs"Uh...No...I don't think so...we should probably tell him"
He rolls his arm, flexing and straightening it."We need some way to test it...without slashing people up with a contaminated scalpel of course..."

He leans back against the gurney as he watches Drago pace
"When the detective gets back with the Corporal hopefully we'll know more."
