Mission: The Thorion Conundrum Mission Brief
Location: SickBay

ON:-

LT Brannon knew she was required to get an examination after being held hostage and was in a way regretting it. So she went to get it over, She entered Sickbay and smiled as she came in. The hot shower and hot meal had her feeling better already.

She saw Lt Peeters sitting there and walked over to her. "Hello LT Peeters, Thanks for coming to get my out of the hole I dug myself into. I should have been more careful and not let it happen in the first place. I am here for my post recue medical checkup.

Kimberly looked up surprised." LT Brannon, I... expected you!" reminding her of the rescue mission, images begin to whirl in front of her eyes. She takes a small moment to regain herself and tries to ignore the sickening feeling in her stomach. She laughs it off: "haha, let's not make a habit of it at least LT."

I guess you and the Doctor have a lot to check out one me?" As I smile

" Yeah, we do! ", answered Kimberly.

Robert had been filing medical reports on the crew. His love for Orion's was disappearing with each report he made. Even Klingons were not that brutal to prisoners. He heard voices and looking up saw Peeters talking to a Lieutenant. Well at least he was having a chance to meet his new crew mates.

" Hello did someone mention the D word?" He asked

Brannon smiled, "I did Doctor. Figured you need to check me out before Captain Sterling will let me return to duty after being held hostage by Toda in the Orion sector. Hope you did not mind I stopped by my quarters and took a hot shower and got some hot food before coming by. I wanted to get out of that bikini Toda made me wear."

Robert shook his head. Brannon should of come to sickbay first. Toda could of put some kind of poison in her system or worse. But she was here now.

" Technically you should of come here first. Orions are notorious for slipping in nasty's to their captives. But seeing that you seem to be still breathing. Well assume they have not. I have to ask this first of course. Are you comfortable with me doing your check up or do you wish a female member of staff?" He asked

Brannon smiled, "Toda wants something I have and she will not kill me unless she gets it Doctor. And I am good with you doing the examination Doctor. She knows about my Betazed name and also is here to kill me when she gets what she wants. I hid the item in a place that no one will else knows its location but me. 'That way I am able to protect the item better.

But I do understand Doctor or was it the fact you wanted to see me in the bikini?"

Hendon nearly blushed.

" Actually my wife Alice may not approve of that. No it is just you could of been turned into a bio bomb. Once you had returned your body could of expelled toxins into the Leto's atmosphere. But as I said before what is done is done. If you would like to lay on the bio bed we can start. Is there anything you wish to tell me about before we start?" He asked

Brannon removed her tunic and laid on the bed. Once comfortable she told him, "I was given both mental and physical torture by Toda where she wants an amulet I have. I knew I could not give it to her because she would kill me once she had it. Toda is a killer and ruthless. She did beat me around as you can see by the bruises on my body. Where I was in a bikini she constantly changed the temperature in my cell from hot to cold to keep me uncomfortable.

I was able to hold out and still able to walk when rescued. I helped the Marines with fighting to be able to get back. I have some minor cuts and bruises on my feet where I was barefoot when rescued. Nurse Peeters did a great job caring for us on the surface during the rescue."

Hendon looked at the bio bed readings. He gave a slight frown and tapped some panels.

" Those are quite nasty bruises. But no internal organs were damaged although one is quite near your kidneys. Unusual for Orion's they love to beat their captives. If they cannot cause any internal bleeding. Then they get quite unhappy. But Toda seems to have left yours alone. As for the mental torture I think it best you see a counsellor." Robert advised.

Brannon smiled," Good to her Doctor and I have an appointment later with the counsellor> I need that evaluation to be able to be cleared for work. As you know. I have something Toda wants and until she gets it or I get her. She will not kill me. She knows if I am dead she will never find it. And your bedside manner is great some Doctors get a bit overbearing.

Robert had learnt long ago that people acted better. If you did not treat them like idiots who were unable to understand. That was one reason he did not use an EMH. He found them overbearing and very rude.

" Stop it your making me blush. I have learnt long ago that not pushing people around. Is far better then telling them to do this or don't do that. But one thing I will say. Is if you meet up with Toda again. Please don't undo all our work here by getting yourself killed." Roberts said

Brannon laughs, "When I find her she will find out what a Federation Brig is like and will wish she did not screw with me Doctor. I want her facing Federation and Betazed charges when I get her.

" A word of warning. Although they love beating their captives. Orion's don't like to be taken into custody. Best to check Toda for any suicide devices. Especially bio ones they just love taking their captors with them." Hendon warned

Brannon replied, understood Doctor. That is one reason I plan to be alone with her when I take her. It is going to be me and her, one on one. Then there is only the 2 of us that can be exposed to the Bio or any other type of weapons. I plan to strip search her before she is moved to the Brig to protect everyone. I am hoping she gives up with much resistance then everything goes smoothly.

Am I cleared to return to duty or not Doctor?

Hendon was about to say yes. When something caught his eye. He ran his hands over the bio bed controls.

" Hang on a moment somethings just come up on the monitor......there's something swimming around in your blood stream" Hendon said

"OH hope it is not serious, or dangerous." replied Brannon.

Hendon looked at the image. His face turned slight red.Toda has under estimated us.

" Its a little gift from her. Probably put in your blood stream while you were being beaten. No doubt when you met her again it would be activated. Either it would cause a fatal heart attack or turn your blood to powder. Don't worry it can be removed.....just give me a sec. You may feel a slight bit of pressure on your arm......there got it!" Hendon said

Hendon set the bio beds computer to scan for more. As he examined the small device.

" You'll have to stay a little while longer while we double check for any more surprises. Best be safe....ooh this is a nasty one. Its a blood one alright.....would of turned your life fuel into powder. A very painful way to die. Developed by our orion friends to use against the Klingons. The only race more vicious then they are. But at least Klingons have honour." Robert said

"OK Doctor, Lets get rid of that nasty thing. I like living. and have a lot to do before I die. And you should also know my Betazed name is Havri Belbre. I was raised by foster parents from earth to protect me when my parents were killed by the Rixxian Caliphate. " Replied Brannon

Thankfully it took Hendon only a few minutes to remove the device. A full scan of Brannon’s blood stream picked up no more of the devices.

“ Well it’s out and your clear. This Toda has must be a nasty piece of work. This would of turned your blood to powder.” Hendon reported

Brannon replied, "Toda is a professional killer and most don't survive her attacks. The only reason I did was she wanted something I have. And she did not get it. I am glad you found it. She is very ruthless and cunning.

“I bet that would have been a slow and painful death too Doctor.”

Hendon looked at small device. He shook his head.

“ This is not Orion technology. Strange they usually use their own killing devices. Could be Cardsssian or Romulan. Yes this is Romulan made. The Cardassian one would of blown up by now. Romulan devices are faulty at best. Probably why your still alive.” Hendon said

Brannon smiled, :The Orions are a species that steals what they want from others. And Toda is Rixxian Caliphaye. Either group could have stolen the technology and not knowing how to use it. Messed it up. Make be a bit of luck on my part.

Hendon looked over the device and then placed it in a lockable sealed container. He then put an encrypted password on the lock. Then Robert put it in a quarantine field.

" Just being careful. I am still worried though about you. That thing has been swimming about in your blood for a while. It would of had to fool your immune system. I am concerned it has left you subsetable to illness down the line. You would of been immune to. But the good news is we should be able to boost your system. I just need to check your DNA so we can give you the correct hypo." Robert said

OOC:- This is a typing error that got missed. But I have thought of a way around this.

"NO"

OK lets do that and I will check back regularly to be sure everything is ok Doctor." Then she heard the word NO. "Is everything alright Doctor? Replied Brannon

Hendon looked at Brannon in surprise.

" That was not me? I thought you said that?" He replied surprised.

“ It could have been another patient or medical staff member too Doctor.”

Robert looked around.

“ Did you see where Nurse Peeters went?” He asked

"No I did not Dr she took soon things to the lab at your request but that was the last I saw of her." replied Brannon

" Then who or what made that noise? Maybe it is a quicht in the comm system? Or we are both hearing things" Robert said

Nurse Peeters came from around the corner and asked:"Do you need help doctor Hendon? I thought I heard someone scream?"

Robert looked around.

“ We thought that was you! Maybe the Leto is haunted?” He asked

Brannon replied, "Could be some engineer in a jefferies tube working too. Then can be very loud sometimes. Especially when working at night."

Robert looked towards the Jeffries tube.

“ Is there anyone in there!” He shouted.

“ Yes. Sorry Doc had a little argument with conduit.” Said a voice from within

Hendon looked at Brannon. He turned back and shouted.

“ Well either book a room or keep the noise down!” Robert said turning back to Brannon.

Brannon smiled, " it has to be an engineer in the conduits that said it and not me. Will there be anything else Dr. I got a security meeting to attend in 1 hour.

Hendon nodded.

“ Nope that’s it. Your free to go.

"Thanks Doctor, I will come back if there are any troubles, replied Brannon.
