Lt. Zena Quetan Following Lela's post "Transporters! I forgot about that" Zena exclaimed "I get a little woozy myself sometimes after using them but my Symbiont is used to it by now so it doesn't happen all that often" Droin put Delta in stasis immediately and they all sat down to a discussion Droin: Any suggestions? Zena, have you come across any cases like this before? Quetan: Not directly, it's a rare thing to happen, If a Symbiont is settled to its host it shouldn't be effected so severely.....There could be a number of reasons for this, The Symbiont could be dying because of the fact its artificial, the body could be rejecting it, or vice versa.... The computer interrupted "Lt.Quetan you have received a Priority message from Trill" Zena went over to the terminal and once again the old Trill appeared on the screen "I've checked the name you gave me and a Sachim Delta doesn't even exist!...So then I cross referenced the image you gave me and I got a match...He is Levva Renhol, son of Doctor Renhol of the Symbiosis Commission, He went missing 3 weeks ago...I haven't contacted the Doctor yet, do you want me to inform her of your find?" "No, no, I'll do that, Thank you again for your time and efforts" Zena ended the transmission Highwaji came through the doors at the exact time with a huge grin on his face "One message, Fully readable" He handed a PADD to Zena She read the PADD carefully "It's notes... research notes from Doctor Renhol and her project for artificial Symbionts, Levva put it all together for me, he was hoping I could help, whether he intended me to meet him or not I don't know" She paused whilst she read further "He was the first ''successful'' test that his mother conducted..." "She used her own son as a guinea pig? nice!" Xristha commented with a hint of disgust in her voice "Real successful huh that's why he's here on deaths door now is it?" She'ra chirped in too "I'll get in touch with his mother, she might know of how we can help him" Zena said "We don't have much time, His vitals are fading" Xristha said concerned for her patient Zena contacted the Commission, a young woman came on the screen "Yes?" the tone in her voice showed she had an air of arrogance about her. "I'd like to speak to Doctor Renhol please" Zena replied "Well the Doctor is very busy so unless you have some sort of appointment..." Zena didn't give her a chance to finish "Would she be interested in talking about her son only I have him here..." The young woman's face gave a look of surprise, seconds later Doctor Renhol appeared on the screen "You!" she snapped when she saw Zena "What have you done with my son?!" Zena remained calm and diplomatic "He came to me, only he collapsed before we had a chance to speak, We now have him in stasis but his chances of surviving are slowly fading, His artificial Symbiont seems to be the cause of that" "B..b..but I don't understand, he was fine, the joining was successful" Doctor Renhol fell into her seat her eyes slowly filling with tears Xristha stepped forward "Doctor, we need your help and we have an hour at the most to save him, is there ANYTHING we can do to stabilize Levva and the Symbiont?" Rehnol pulled herself together "no, there is no other option than to separate the two, the chemical imbalance is too great they reject each other" Xristha frowned "but can they survive without each other?" Rehnol shook her head "There is a 50/50 chance for both of them, the host can live without the symbiont, but if the symbiont survives it needs a new host within 72 hours, it's a major operation, there is no guarantee of success..." All eyes rested on Xristha, the decision was hers...
