Mission: Unto Darkness, Light
Location: USS Washington

Shran walked the corridors of the ship at a brisk pace, particularly for so early in the morning. He was moving with a purpose, and it was obvious enough to the crew as they moved aside as they saw the captain. He finally arrived at his destination and hit the chime several times. He felt as if he might be going mad, and yet his instincts told him he needed to be here, that it was urgent he get inside.

Finally he lost patience and screamed at the computer, "Computer! Override and open this door! Authorization dh'Klar-two-two-seven-epsilon."

The door opened and he rushed inside. His head seemed to flash from side to side, his antennae standing straight up, his body tensed as if he were preparing for an attack. He suddenly jetted to the left through a doorway into the bedroom where he spotted Celes in bed. She was tossing and turning violently, thrashing about as if possessed, her eyes closed shut and yet she was screaming in horror, a blood curdling scream. Shran raced to her side and grabbed hold of her and began to shake her in hopes of waking her. It had no apparent affect.

He hit his comm badge, =^= Shran to sickbay, medical emergency, two to beam directly to sickbay =^=

The two dematerialized in a blue hue and reformed just as quickly in sickbay. It was early, the night shift on duty. Shran turned to locate the Samantha and spotted a lieutenant instead, a Trill. "I found her like this. She won't wake up. Where the hell is Samantha?" Shran seemed to be ranting.

"Calm down captain" said the Trill doctor as she moved past the captain and opened her tricorder, scanning Celes. "This is insane. Her neurotransmitter levels are practically maxxed out and she seems to be dealing with multiple parasomnias at once."

Shran grabbed the doctor and spun her around. "You're not listening! Help her! Get Samantha in here! I want order and discipline!" Shran looked eranged at this point and tossed the doctor over the adjacent biobed. A male nurse attempted to subdue the Andorian and was rewarded with several sharp thrusts to his body, each thrust shattering a rib and ultimately sending the nurse crumpling to the ground with life threatening injuries.

Celes continued to scream and Shran seemed to be getting even more enraged. Suddenly a hypospray released into Shran and he collapsed to the ground, the Trill doctor partially catching him. "Nurse, 100 cc of Sonambutril." He looked to the other nurse present, "Contact Dr. Howard, medical emergency." He slid Shran onto the biobed. "Computer, activate EMH."

The hologram materialized, "Please state the nature..."

"No time. I've given the captain a sedative so he is no danger. He seriously injured a nurse who I need you to treat while I treat Lt Celes."

"I'm a state of the art medical hologram, not some first year medical student" huffed the EMH.

The Trill took the hypospray from the nurse and injected Celes. "Do your damn job before Dr. Howard arrives and decompiles you." He took out his tricorder once more to scan Celes, watching the EMH out of the corner of his eye as it treated the injured nurse. "These neurotransmitter levels are still dangerously high" he mumbled to himself. "It is like she is under telepathic assault."

The Trill moved quickly to the captain and scanned him. "Nearly identical neurotransmitter levels but different reaction. What is going on?"
