Medicine is a real Science

[Medical Labs / Sickbay - Multiple Days]

So, it's been a busy few days, and a few days where a certain Dr. Beckett has basically been a permanent fixture in Sickbay and the labs adjacent. He'll have been seen bustling in and around, always with a PADD, Tricorder, hypospray or specimen vial in his hand.

He's running tests, comparisons, air screenings, water screenings, filter screenings, asking other people for their advice on terms and systems he knows not a thing about... He's quite the dilligent worker... or obsessed, whichever you prefer.

He always has time to answer questions, though, even though he has few answers at this point. People can catch him in Sickbay, or on the way to the labs. When in the labs, he can be seen hunched over equipment, asking the computer questions, and, sometimes, even holding what seems to be a non-Federation scanning device. When he's using this piece of equipment, he's physically writing things down in an odd-looking language.

He may seem tired, but one thing that never fails is his professionalism and dedication.

"Then I guess we'll have to hope he remains on our side," she offers, hoping that it goes without saying that she'd like to know if something starts going weird with this Wraith. Or at least that she would like someone to know. "Until then, we have our work cut out for us here."

The computer is still running the analyses, but there's time for coffee or tea or some sort of drink to cool off with. She's starting to get a headache with all of this work, mostly because they keep hitting dead ends. Maybe one of the analyses will come up with something.

It works. A little, but a little is better than not at all. Beverly offers a small, tight-lipped smile for the joke.

"Something like that," she answers tiredly. "Though with the computer busy with our analyses, we might want to take the time to rest. Hard to do in the middle of a crisis, but..." Her voice trails off, her thoughts wandering to Zelien. How many times had she dealt with exhaustion there? Too many to count. In fact, she had lost count of the sleepless hours during the last... week or so she was in Zelien. It was all a sleepless blur. Funny that the same should happen here.

"Agreed," Beverly answers with a tired smile, pushing herself to her feet. "We can at least try." She won't be getting any sleep, but she can promise she will at least try. "Thanks for your help. It's nice to have extra hands in here."

"I know I'm still displaced myself, but if there's ever anything I can do to help you settle in more, please ask," Beverly offers with a small smile. "Believe me, I know it's hard to adjust."
