Once, during Enterprise's mission, we encountered a class IV black hole, in a trinary star system. We spent some time exploring it; we did not realize that it gave off a particular kind of radiation. Within two days the rest of the crew began to behave uncharacteristically. [Pointed. Freaking. Look.]I've been spending some time in the lab, scanning

[He's wondering the same thing about you, lady. Though, it SEEMS your not a pod person...]

We haven't.

[Appearances can be deceiving. :|] Normally I would suggest we meet to discuss your file and the pairing itself, but given the circumstances, it may be best if we wait until things have been resolved.

[The fact that you're actually ADMITTING there is a problem is a point in your favor. The other pod people certainly wouldn't.]

Fair enough.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

[That he's agreeing is a point in his. Yay, building...not-really-trust!]

I will speak with you then.

[Ardent is facepalming, because he likes his pet theory, dammit!]

There's no medical emergency. It's mine fever, simple as that. Humans are exceptionally bad at it, and it can affect anyone.

But I presume you have a list of people who are acting a little more aggressively or apathetically than usual? I would put good money on them all being human, and them all being under undue levels of stress. It's what happens when you're cooped up inside with a lot of other people for a long time. Dwarfs get it, but we have ways of channeling it.

I imagine, if you either encourage these people to go outdoors, or to take their frustrations out on something inanimate in the gym, the whole situation would improve.

I was not aware that you are a medical professional. Your theory is possible, but unlikely. [Cabin fever does not make beaus drop engagement plans. :|]

[deepdowndark]

I'm not, but are you?

I have spent my lifetime living in mines. Which are very confined spaces, where everyone is bristling with weapons, and Dwarfs aren't known for their long tempers, either. So I think I know mine fever when I see it.

[And he knows not about your poor Trip, T'Pol.]

I would prefer a medical practitioner's opinion on the matter.

The CES is at the disposal of the wardens here, as is the bar, and the gym. If this was simply a case of living in close quarters, it would have most likely resolved itself.

What would be the method of testing this hypothesis?

Private

[with_discipline]

I would assume medical procedures. Full physicals and detailed comparisons to records of their earlier states.

Private

[strangehstorian]

Hm. They are not likely to submit to that in their current state unless...

Is there a physician we know to be unbiased that could help?

I would have suggested the EMH, but he's left the ship. Doctor Jones is in charge of the infirmary.

[tadwizard]

Nothing's wrong on this vessel except for the usual shit.

[with_discipline]

This is far from usual.

[tadwizard]

Sure it is. People bitch, other people bitch back, there's a huge debate, blah blah blah.

[with_discipline]

[Tony, you're already on the list damn it. :|] Not like this.

[hatestriangles]

This place just gets more and more fucked up every day.

[with_discipline]

Issues do seem to be rising.

[hatestriangles]

Master of understatement as always, aren't you?

[with_discipline]

I prefer accuracy as opposed to embellishment.
