Aeryn made her way to sickbay, she’d been sent by Lieutenant Richmond to speak to Dr Brookes in relation to a patient he had who was causing some concern. Walking into sickbay she headed over to Brookes office. “Doctor Brookes?” she smiled, “I’m Aeryn Jameson, Lieutenant Richmond sent me to talk to you about your patient...” she looked at her PADD “Lieutenant Kaleri”

"Yes. Lieutenant Kaleri is a patient of mine. Physiologically she has been having issues regarding her powers of psi force consuming her ability both mentally and physically. She has recently just had a medical crisis in her quarters requiring constant medical surveilance." Tyson looked at his medical padd and then Lieutenant Richmond. Tyson was certainly relieved to be speaking to another professional for consultation.

“I see from Krysia’s records that she is Lieutenant Commander Nash’s half-sister, perhaps we’d best involve him in this conversation.” she tapped her comm badge, =/\= Lt Commander Nash please report to sickbay =/\=

Owen nodded as he acknowledged the call from Lt Jameson. =/\= This is Commander Nash I'm on my way =/\= he respondd as he headed to Sickbay.

A few minutes later the three were sitting in Brookes office, “Would you like to tell us about your concerns regarding Lieutenant Kaleri Doctor?”

"My concerns are that the Lieutenant is unable to grasp her psi powers, resulting in a form of extreme stress and anxiety that has induced brain trauma." He gestured his hands open both to Nash and the Counsellor he leaned back in his chair, relaxing his back relieving personal stress, while paying his attention to the interesting conversation.

"I believe this is where we intersect, our respective disciplines. A recovery must involve some sort of CBT therapy." He offered Lieutenant Jameson.

"As I understand it Lieutenant Kaleri is half Human & half Drax? I know very little about the Drax but we Betazoids are similar in some ways so I do understand the problems she's having with her empathy & telepathy. It may require some considerable mental retraining for her in order to help fully."

Owen nodded as he understood that Krys would have to go through some training. "I can help out there to make sure she gets the time needed for her training," he explained. As XO he could make sure of that.

"Is there a likelihood of permanent harm to Krysia if these 'attacks' she's having continue?"

"There is no certainty that is the problem." He replied. "We have ability to an extent to repair the brain, it gets complex tho."

Aeryn nodded, “In this case Doctor I’m going to refer to your judgement, as you said there is no certainty that Krysia’s abilities are the cause of her problem, a certain amount could be due to the stresses of being in a position of responsibility and that’s something that Krysia herself will need to do her part with. I would recommend that ways be found to help ease stress I’m sure you’ve already made that suggestion Doctor.

"She needs to be treated with some anti-anxiolytics and other drugs I currently have her on with a med hypo spray for her to use on her self in her quarters. They are non-ephedrine system dependent. I have logged them and my comments and dictations in the ships medical computers." He offered for the counsellor the review of his psych med choices to calm down the Lieutenants anxiety levels. "Of course these are open for your review Lieutenant Jameson."

“As for the question of abilities I’ll speak to Krysia myself and see if there’s anything I can do to help with the levels of empathic input she seems to be reporting. There are ways of retraining the mind but it can take some time to master.

"So when we she be up and around? As Executive Officer, I have to be concerned that one of my senior officers is off her feet in this way... I'm worried about," Owen admitted.

"I would say medically she has about one week off to regain her self, test her blood pressure, and allow the drugs to do their work, repairing her neuron levels in the brain matter. And Doctor Aeryn the ability to complete her psych level tests." Tyson knew it was best to collab with another Doctor there were issues one could see in the others work.

-- Meanwhile in sickbay --

Krysia was sitting up on the biobed feeling a whole lot better & getting bored, she looked towards the doctor's offices she could sense Owen's presence & she knew Tyson was in his office plus there was the sense of another empath being present that she could only guess was one of the ships counsellors, she put her mind to trying to get a sense or reading of what was going on as a teenager and still learning she'd been good at listening in on conversations telepathically something her mother had told her off for several times.

-- In Brookes' Office --

"Why don't we ask Krysia?" Aeryn looked towards Tyson, "she's trying to sense what's going on in here anyway" she looked towards Owen, "I'll give you this Commander, your sister has good strength of will."

Owen raised an eyebrow as he turned to look in the general direction of the biobed where Krys was laying. "I'll be honest Lieutenant, in the short time I've come to know her, I've realised that shes a very driven but positive individual...but this action doesn't surprise me," he admitted. "Shall we go and talk to her?" He offered.

Walking out into sickbay Aeryn looked straight at Krysia, that's when Krysia knew she was in trouble.

"Krysia, do I have to make this an order. You are to sit here, lay here, and to have rest. You had a slight stroke, which was quite dangerous." He then sighed, holding a hand on his forehead. "Sorry, you just have to learn to shut off your psi powers at the moment. I don't quite understand it, this is where Doc Aeyrn will take over..." He eyed Aeyrn as in 'you got this from now on!'

"Sorry!" Krysia looked apologetically at Tyson, he had told her to rest and using her senses wasn't resting her brain. "I saw Owen go into your office so I knew you were most likely talking about me. Using my telepathy isn't something I find taxing that part comes naturally, before I collapsed I'd had a mass headache and the coin on the table moved... I've NEVER been able to do that before, so I just wanted to practice some more. I guess I over did it."

Aeryn nodded as she listened to Krysia her own empathic senses were telling her that Krysia was telling the truth, "I'm Aeryn Jameson, one of the counsellors" she smiled, "Doctor Brookes has asked us to help you with your problems, so with that in mind I'd like you to make an appointment to come and see me once you're released from sickbay."

Krysia nodded she knew she wasn't going to get out of this one, "Of course Counsellor"

Owen looked at both Krys and Lieutenant Jameson and realised that his sibling was well aware of the training and commitment required to help her recover. "Have no fear, she'll be attending without fail," Owen confirmed, looking at Krys in a stern tone.

Krysia looked at Owen and raised an eyebrow in a way more expected of a Vulcan, “Yes Sir” she grinned, “I won’t let you down.”

Lt. Brookes was happy to see that the Lieutenant would be getting help with her anxiety issues, and that they were able to work together and find a solution to her problem.
