- Bridge -

After the communication cut off, Jasmine left her ready Room and was shown that both McCallister and Tsmel were now with teams on the Warbird. Sitting down and looking over to the Comms Officer.

“Open a channel to Lieutenant McCallister” she said, after a not from the Marine. =/\= Somers to McCallister, what is the status on the Romulan? =/\= She asked.

The Vice Admiral seemed to be surprisingly cooperative, against everything she was expecting of him. He even let her give him the sedative, of course she told him it was just to help with the headache and the fever.

"Okay, Vice Admiral, if you need anything, just let me know. You should rest."

He simple glared at her silently and remained sitting. She could feel his mental energy. That worried her because the sedative should have put him out. She was going to be extremely annoyed if he had an outburst and she, or anyone was near him when that happened.

oO Whatever. Oo She stuffed the hypo spray back into her bag.

She tapped her Commbadge to reply =/\= He's being cooperative, however initial scans and his symptoms are indicative of Bendii syndrome. It will be a couple hours before the test results confirm it. Ive also given him a sedative that should keep the emotional outbursts to a minimum. I would recommend not getting him worked up, however.=/\=

=/\= Confirmed Lieutenant, keep me informed, I need to send all information back to Starfleet =/\= She said.

=/\= Affirmative Captain, McCallister out =/\= Gabriel watched the Vice Admiral from across the bridge, he was getting impatient...

When the link had closed on a nod the Comms Officer transferred Communications activation to her chair, pressing the button =/\= Somers to Tsmel, report on ships engines and have you found out how did an old Romulan with Bendii Syndrome slave all to the bridge, Starfleet is waiting upon my report managed to slave all areas to the bridge? =/\= She asked.

=/\= It seems that he found the automatic override, and made it so that everything is run from the Bridge. It's not that hard if you know what to do. This is an old ship, and it was easier to do than normal. Then he shot the computers down in Engineering so that no one could take the power away from him. He then managed to lock down all the doors so no one could get to the bridge either. =/\=

=/\= Good, keep it up, get as much information as you can, while you can Lieutenant. =/\=

Sofee stood up, and headed straight for the Security teams to head off the ship.

=/\= Thank Thank you Lieutenant, finish up and return to the ship, Somers out =/\= She finished closing the link, then activating ship wide. =/\= Bridge to engineering send a team over to the freighter; see if you cannot get the ship moving again. Commander Air Group launch the C.A.P, we are going to be stuck here for awhile I do not wish to be surprised=/\= She said.

=/\= CAG, confirmed =/\=

=/\= Engineering confirmed =/\=

As the responses came in, Jasmine thought as she closed the link, “Sensors use active Tachyon scanning immediate area, around us the Freighter and the Warbird” She said.

“Yes Sir” Came the response.

With all things now done Jasmine could only sit and wait.

Jasmine got up and began to pace back and forth then 2nd Lieutenant S’arila Donovan the half human/Alien Tactical Officer who was also empathic looked at the Captain.

“Major kindly sit down and calm down, your emotions are turbulent and distracting” She bluntly said.

Jasmine looked up sharply and pierced the Lieutenant with a stare, the Tactical Officer did not flinch, Jasmine was satisfied with the reaction and Donovan smiled and returned to her duties.

“Sir the Diplomatic ship is four hours away at its top speed” The Communications Officer announced.

Jasmine only made a growling sound in the back of her throat.

Activating the Comms =/\= Bridge to CAG, pull in the fighters, the away team is back and the Freighter has left the area =/\= She said as the freighters away team reported that they were back.

=/\= Confirmed Bridge CAG out =/\=

With that done she stood “Commander you have the bridge, I will be in my ready room calling Starfleet” She said and left the surprised Second Lieutenant looking at her back as she left the bridge.

Before she left the bridge fully and turning to face Donovan, as now with the Chief Engineers report in and now on her way back she looks at the Tactical Officer.

“Lieutenant Donovan, take the ageing Maul Fighter that was left in the launch bay to Deep Space Ten, meet up with a Marine Officer V’Tolk if he is there and then seek out Second Lieutenant Akachi Ngozi and sort out the equipment that we are missing. Have no fear the Maul Fighter is fully serviceable and combat ready, so leave now Lieutenant” Jasmine said.

“Yes Sir” First Lieutenant S’arila Donovan responded and as she left the bridge another Tactical Officer took over.

Activating the Communications channel =/\= Tomcat to Lieutenant McCallister =/\= She stepped away from the admiral and tapped her Commbadge.

oO Finally! This took forever. Oo Gabriel thought to herself. The test for Bendii syndrome had finally confirmed that the Vice Admiral was indeed afflicted.

=/\=McCallister, here.=/\=

=/\= Wrap up over there Lieutenant, we have to be moving out soon, give the Romulan medical treatment to help with his affliction, then return to the Tomcat forthwith =/\= She said.

Gabriel gritted her teeth in frustration. She threw a irritated look at the Tomcat on the viewscreen.

=/\= Ma'am, there is no treatment for Bendii Syndrome. And its only going to get progressively worse. He's already in the advanced stages of the disease. That and in command of a Warbird... Captain, we cant leave him like this. =/\=

=/\= Thank You Lieutenant, Tomcat out =/\=

With that Done “I will be in my ready room if I am needed” She said and left the Bridge.

- Warbird -

"Sir?" she said as she walked gently over to her patient, he glanced sharply at her. She could feel his mental energies building, he was becoming extremely nervous.

"Why are you on my ship? I have done nothing wrong!" his rage was building, this was not good; the sedative must have started wearing off.

"Sir, you have what is known as Bendii syndrome. I have here something that will help, but I need you to relax and cooperate if we are going to help you though this." she motioned with the fresh hypo spray.

"No!" He yelled. "You're not going to take me!" he slapped the hypo spray out of her hand. Suddenly her mind was on fire with screaming images and emotions.

It was far worse than the reports and papers she had read had described. This rare condition usually occurred in Vulcans, and with the political relations with the Romulan’s how they were, medical knowledge exchange was virtually nil. She supposed that either the slight genetic difference or perhaps the lack of rigorous mental training made such a difference.

As her eyes began to lose focus, she grabbed the hypo spray and leaped at the crazed Vice Admiral and depressed the release as soon as she made contact with something.

Just in time. Her head was still swooning from the mental blast, but her patient was unconscious. Looking around, Her assistant was slowly getting up off the floor, a slight gash in her forehead. "You alright? Put gauze on your forehead, I'll take a look at it when we get back."

Activating her recording device,

“Computer open log begin recording” She said then after a pause “Captain’s log Stardate 63419.17 we answered a distress call from a Bajoran crewed Federation registered freighter, the ship had been attacked by a Romulan D’Deredex class Warbird. Its sole occupant was a very old Romulan Vice Admiral who has Bendii syndrome; both engineering teams were sent over, one to the freighter, to help them fix their engines the other led by Chief Engineer Tsmel who beamed over to the Warbird, while a Medical team beamed to the bridge to tend to the Romulan. I have requested a Diplomatic ship, Medical ship along with escorts considering who it is and our current relations with the Romulan Empire. I have dome what I can from my end, I have recalled our Fighter screen and Lieutenant Donovan was sent on ahead to Deep Space 10 to speak to a Colonel V’Tolk the senior ranking Marine on the station, also the ships Second Officer/Chief Tactical Officer and my new First Officer will be coming aboard there. End Log” She finished filed it and left the Ready Room, as she came onto the bridge she was give updates.

- USS Tomcat - Bridge -

“Captain that diplomatic team and escorts is six hours away” The Sensor operator said.

“Thank you Lieutenant, what of the medical away team?” She asked and as if on cue.

=/\=McCallister to Tomcat=/\=

Indicating to make the connection =/\= go ahead Lieutenant? =/\=

=/\= Permission to beam the Vice Admiral to sickbay. He needs to be kept sedated and given what little help that we can give him. He just lost control and almost knocked us out here.=/\=

Thinking deep, but quickly =/\= Okay, do it Lieutenant. Hold =/\= She paused as an alarm began to sound.

“Sir an overload has began to build up in the Romulan Warbird “ The Sensor Officer announced.

Signalling to reopen the channel to McCallister =/\= Lieutenant you will be beamed directly to sickbay, an overload build up in the ships core has began =/\= She said.

=/\=Acknowledged, awaiting beam out =/\= McCallister responded and waited for the transporter to claim hi and his party.

=/\= Roger Lieutenant, Tomcat out =/\= Opening another channel =/\= Bridge to transporter Room, beam Medical away team straight to Sickbay =/\=

=/\= Affirmative =/\= Came the transporter rooms response.

A slight pause =/\= Bridge to Security, assign to guard to stand outside sickbay =/\=

=/\= Yes Sir =/\= Came the response as the Comms fell silent, looking at the Sensor Officer “has Lieutenant Tsmel and her team returned to the Tomcat?” She asked.

Checking the console the Lieutenant responded “Yes Sir, and the Medical Team has been beamed straight to sickbay, all fighters are safely tucked into bed” He said.

Jasmine gave him a funny look.

“Just covering all bases Major” He said shrugging and putting on an innocent face.

“hmm.. OoooK” She said then looked at the Helm Officer “Move us a safe distance away from the ship, so that we do not suffer damage when it goes” She said and got confirmation nod as the ship began to move away. They only just managed to get to a safe distance when the ship exploded. oO Dang, that was close Oo She thought. “I am going down to sickbay, notify me the moment those ships arrive” She said.

“Aye, aye Captain” Came the duty Officers response as she entered the Turbolift.

- USS Tomcat – Sickbay - Outside Sickbay -

The captain had walked in at the perfectly wrong moment. She was in the middle of yet another battery of scans, and she had to put a great deal of effort into not glaring at the captian. A loss in concentration would me she would have to start from scratch. This damn Romulan was more trouble than he was worth, but he was her patient.

The doors parted before her as she entered “Lieutenant Report” She ordered looking at McCallister.

Suddenly realizing that the doctor was busy, “It can wait” She said and left Sickbay, when she was a clear distance away.

=/\= Bridge to Captain =/\=

Her Commbadge activated, tapping it to make the link both ways =/\= Go ahead=/\=

=/\= Sir those ships you requested have just arrived =/\=

=/\= Affirmative on my way, Somers out =/\= she responded and entered the turbolift
