"Now we are getting somewhere," said Romar to Tecala. "The virus is not spread by contact, but is airborne. And here is another thing" added Romar, pointing to a cut-away image of a head; "The virus attacks the speech centres in the brain, which is why our patients are talking in regional dialects".
"One thing puzzles me doctor", said Tecala with a frown on her face, "Why is Q not affected? He has been in contact with the other four!"
Romar pondered her question for a moment and answered "It's probably something to do with him being an omnipotent being. No virus would dare invade his body"
"That's it! That's it!" announced Tecala, as if she had made the scientific discovery of the century. "Lt. Q is the key to all this."
Romar asked her how she arrived at that conclusion. Tecala explained that if they ran tests on Lt Q's blood and D.N.A. they could develop an anti-virus serum.
"Brilliant!" exclaimed Romar, his excitement almost on the same level as Tecala's.
"Absolutely brilliant," he repeated, and throwing his arms up in the air said, "Tecala I could kiss you,"
Taken slightly by surprise, Tecala stepped two paces back, pointing a finger at Romar, and said, "You take one step towards me, and you'll be needing a doctor,"
"Sorry," apologised Romar, "I got carried away," There was a short silence, then Romar continued, "Will a hand shake do?" Tecala nodded and the two medics shook hands.
