Ch.6
A minute after she heard the name, she began researching it. Pretty soon she had the information that she needed. She contacted Picard and told him to come to sickbay because she was going to explain everything including the information that she had found.
"Before Wes passed out, he told me that he went to a paradise island called Allysis and that he drank something called Babau while he was there. I did some research and Babau is a drink that the individuals share when they have a visitor. They don't expect human visitors often. The people that live there are not humans but they are aliens, that live forever because they keep taking some medication for that reason. They are good aliens and they make friends easily.
Their species is called Callus. I also looked more into the contents of the drink. It's very similar to orange juice on our planet except they place a few drops of a drug called Slipus. It's a harmless drug and it helps the aliens to live forever. I guess Wes had some of it and it affected him differently since he's not one of them. I'll try and contact the leader of Callus whose name is Daphes and explain the situation at hand."
"Okay, continue to update me on this situation."
"Will do, sir."
Then Captain Picard returned back to the bridge while Dr. Crusher contacted Daphes. After the conference was done with Daphes, she checked on her son. He was in and out of consciousness, he was delirious since he still had the fever and he still had the restraints. She placed a wet cloth on his forehead and she also noticed that he started to shake. He tried to warm himself up but that was hard because of the restraints. She covered him with a blanket.
Then a few hours later, Dr. Crusher called Captain Picard and asked him to rejoin her for another meeting.
"I have contacted and talked to Daphes, he informed me that he has never had a situation like this before. They do have an antidote for an occasion such as this. He also told me that he'll beam aboard the antidote. All I have to do is zap it into the victim's neck and he's cured. He also told me that the symptoms would eventually go away."
"Okay."
Ding.
"Ensign Cumming to Dr. Crusher."
"Dr. Crusher here. Go ahead."
"The leader of Callus is about to beam over the antidote. I thought you wanted to be here when that happened."
"Okay, thanks. Crusher out. Would you like to come sir?"
"Sure."
Then Captain Picard and Dr. Crusher walked to briskly to the transportation room. After they arrived in the room, Ensign Cumming pressed a button and instantly a small box of the antidote appeared on the floor.
Dr. Crusher ran up to it, grabbed the box and she rushed to sickbay as fast as she could. Wesley was getting worse minute by minute. She quickly opened up the box and she injected it into her son. She had to wait a few minutes for the antidote to take affect. Then she sent the rest back to Daphes.
Fifteen minutes later, Dr. Crusher could see some improvement in her son. He started to stop shaking and the color in his face returned. Even though she knew the worse was over, she continued to sit by his bedside until all of the symptoms went away.
