Medical
"I actually thought that perhaps the system would scan even within the body, but I guess its not programmed for that. So instead," the Captain started and leaned on the table. "Let's try that, repurpose the scans and look into the bodies themselves, as its not common for communications to exist in our bodies - at least - not on the same levels we might be hunting for," he turned to Meiko. "Think we might find anything of use?" he asked.
Meiko took a moment to regain herself, her ear starting to lightly bleed but nothing to determintal. She turned when the captain addressed her and took a moment to think on it before looking up at the larger, more muscular man before her. "I do. If the plan works as well as I hope it does, then it can hinder the virus...what i'll do is create a concoction of different medicines to inhibit the biological aspect of the virus and we can put the Femtomachines in the concoction. That way the Femtomachines will not be hindered by the biological aspect of the virus... If we can...do this correctly...we should be capable of finding the virus itself...and if lucky we can have it localize the virus and make splotches on the skin so we can target certain points of the body with precision electrical shocks to destroy the virus..."
Takeyu nodded. "Problem is hoping that it recognize's between that which is infected and that which isn't," he turned toward Jayne, her holographic projection standing a few feet away from the group. "Jayne, begin scans of those presently infected in the bay - internally only - display those scans and results to Meiko-chan please."
Meiko moved to the nearest computer and looked at the data that Jayne projected and paused a moment. "Yes...its small, but the Nanomachines are giving off a small signal that they use to recognize each other as allies rather than enemies....The Wavelength can be copied and given to the Femtomachines and they can target that wavelink..." She nods a bit and looks at Takeyu. "Captain, I'll mix the concoction..and will test it on myself to see how well it goes..." She moves to the side getting the needed medicines and began mixing them.
"You sure you want to do that?" Takeyu looked rather concerned at the medic's desire to test it on herself, given they had quite a few in the bay that such a process could be done on. "If it doesn't work......" the captain started to say but then shook his head and looked at those on the beds. "Very well then, but only if your certain it 'would' work."
Meiko looks at him with a determined look in her eyes. "...If I tested it on the patients and it failed, and killed one...I could never forgive myself. I am a doctor, my patients wellbeing comes first and I could not give..." She paused and looks down before looking at Takeyu again. "Whether it works or not...My patients wellbeing always comes first over my own." She paused and finished the concoction and takes a breath moving over and getting the Femtomachines and setting their programing, before pouring them into the concoction. "...It has to work..." She stared at it for a moment before looking at Ume and then Kioko. So many people are relying on me...Ume...Kioko...Isrun..Kana....Misato...Riko...The captain.. She bit her lip before taking a breath and drinking it down and closing her eyes. It took a moment before her body shook, she stumbles and falls against the desk beginning to pant a bit. "...Ugh..." She begins coughing quiet a good deal before she slumps for a moment...after that moment though she slowly stands back up her nosebleed has stopped, and her ear bleeding has stopped... She paused a moment more and pulled her shirt off revealing her bra and all over her body there are several splotches of yellow, showing where the virus is. "...It...It worked..." She looked relieved.
Perhaps it was a good thing that Takeyu wasn't phased at all by a girl getting naked, given he'd seen it plenty of times before - both while in the military, and outside of it. "Thats refreshing, but lets make sure," he smiled and nodded at Jayne, who began to run a secondary scan on 'just' Meiko; the information was then sent to a nearby terminal to show them the results of the new scan.
Meiko looked at the resutls and nods her head a bit and smiles. "The Femtomachines are attacking the virus, its not being destroyed...but if we do precision electrical shocks at the splotches it should get rid of the nanomachines, and if Koizumi-San's study had shown anything without the Nanomachines the viruses will die out... Once we do that we can synthesize a Vaccine using this knowledge."
"How are we to deliver this vaccine though? With everyone scattered amongst the ship we'd have to figure out some method to reach everyone - can't afford to let even 'one' person go," said the Captain.
Meiko thought for a moment and paused... "Ventilation...If we can find a way to make the femtomachines and vaccine airborn we can work that out...Femtomachines are microscopic as such putting it a gasseous form should work well enough I think, then we pump it into the ships ventilation system and release it all over."
"In order for that to work we'd have to temporarily disable the filtration systems, so that the vaccine doesn't get accidently quartined, which is a simple matter. Now, to administer is a general shock we'd either have to have people come here or send a team out, but then we might miss someone.... " Takeyu sighed and pushed off the table and folded his arms over his chest in thought. "Its too bad we can't execute a localized discharge in the ship, systems would be damaged and no way of telling whether it would really 'work' given everything else...." the captain continued to think; this wasn't exactly a field for him - he was an engineer... not a doctor.
"...Hm.." She thinks for a moment and sighs. "The Systems would be damaged but the ship's crew would be stabilized, surely the life support systems are protected from the shock...With our engineers we could fix the ship..." She pauses. "But lets save that for the last decision..." She seemed stumped, damnit Takeyu, she's a doctor not an engineer!
"Welp, in that case, lets go ahead and make plans to administer the vaccine and then once that is done we can work on the next problem," said Takeyu. "Jayne, when its done, I want you to disengage the life support systems air scrubbers."
Meiko nods a bit and took a breath... "Well first things first.." She mixes the concoction again and begins to program the Femtomachines to deal with the virus again, pouring them into the concoction and putting it in several different syringes and takes a breath. "Lets handle the people in here first...Then we'll move to administering it to everyone else."
"Then I shall help you there," he said and picked up some of the syringes. "Good idea for here anyway, just in case someone develops an adverse effect... although.. lets hope not..." the captain mentally punched himself, he had once been told to 'never' say something along that line as there was a risk it could jinx ya. He walked over to the bed that Ume was on and carefully inserted the syringe into her skin, then adminstered the vaccine and watched and waited.
Meiko moved over and began injecting the others starting with Isrun, moving to Kana, then Kioko, Nenene, and Riko...Then last but not least Misato. She moved into the biological area and injected Chieko as well and took a breath. "...There that should inhibit the virus and get everyone back on their feet." In fact, those who were injected would almost instantly begin to feel theirselves slowly recovering, those who were first infected would take a little time to recover, but the virus is inhibited enough to the point they can at least move around.
