Vincent Navarro doesn't like hopeless situations. Especially when they're avoidable.
That is, it's avoidable in this case if someone can just find a way to break through Gabriel Tam's stubborn denial. He'd thought that after hearing the warning he'd issued in the strongest possible terms upon learning of Tam's travel intentions that the man would have abandoned this mad plan of his, but the morning's wave from Regan Tam had made it clear that Gabriel's done anything but give up his idea.
He'd commiserated with her as best he could, offering sympathy with respect to her husband's rather extreme determination. The call had closed with their mutual agreement to continue to try talking sense into him.
At least, Regan had indicated that she intends to keep trying that approach.
Navarro has other plans.
What he's about to do verges on breach of confidentiality, he knows, but the fact of the matter is that if Gabriel goes through with his trip, the likelihood is almost certain that the man's going to die.
It's not that hard to obtain the call code for Simon Tam from the medical contact database. Navarro's in luck; it's even current, given that Tam's recently completed a portable imager training course.
Once he has it, there's no point in further delay. Navarro sends Simon a message requesting the favor of a medical consult call.
