Medical Exam

Posted on Sun Jun 28th, 2015 @ 12:27am by Lieutenant & Lieutenant Mickey McClane

Mission: Debts to be settled......
Location: Sickbay
Timeline: Sometime after Party Awry

Mickey and Aladdin, the two went to the sickbay after a scare of what happened. Mickey played a prank which had gone wrong and he almost killed himself for it. But likely now he has to be medically confined afterwards and get re-evaluated. McClane and Aladdin with antos in-front arrived in sickbay.

Antos kept quiet till they entered Medical "Nurse Rachelle and Mr Long." as he looked towards his assistant "Take a long break I will call you both back when I am done." As Antos relieved his assistant and other staff for a bit. After they left and the doors closed. "Computer lock the door cut all possible audio feeds." the computer beeped and spoke. "Acknowledged!" came from the computer.

"We can talk in the Office or here?? Your choice?? And make yourself at home and Please have a seat and tell me about it either way!!" Antos said calmly to him and Aladdin. As he waited for his options.

Mickey decided to sit down on the biobed. Sickbay was much more for him right now as he had a break down but it took Bertrand to bring him back.

"That prank i did, it tore me up very badly. I had almost decided to kill myself, Antos. Some friend i turned out to be" Mickey said as he laid on the biobed waiting for his exam.

"Aladdin your more then welcome to sit up there with Mickey." he waited for the dog to decide. "I guess you will have to fill me in more about the prank?" He said quickly. "as for the possible killing yourself?" Antos went quiet a moment as he took the phrase in kinda hard as he grabbed his stool before he fell down. ~WHAT? WHY?~ he thought through his telepathy to Mickey. He was not sure if Aladdin could pick up on it or not. but he glanced over to him a moment before continuing. He started to speak again. "Why? Mickey?" he asked in a more subdued tone not to scare Aladdin. As he grabbed his tricorder and started scanning his mind. along with everything else and back again several times as the information populated onto the main situation monitor. as he scanned himself now with the tricorder and sent the information to a secondary monitor near by. Dr Antos looked concerned ~How did I miss this?~ he thought to himself and to Mickey too. "Lets start from the beginning shall we." Antos said with a straight face.

Aladdin jumped on the second biobed because he stood next to mickey. "I used the transporter to beam him there because i thought it would be funny. turns out i was wrong dead wrong. because you know he had to do his job. I wasn't going to let cor take one for me. So i thought maybe the only way to get the culprit who was the one who done it was to blow myself out of the airlock" Mickey said as Aladdin stood quiet not to be alarm. Right now, Aladdin was doing his job of just being there never leaving him alone.

"Well i am glad that Aladdin was there for you. I understand that practical jokes sometimes backfire. But why did you think of killing yourself. all you might have gotten was so extra duties for your infraction." Antos said calmly to him. "Who talked you down?" Antos inquired quickly. Antos really looked at Mickey a minute before speaking. "There is no excuse for any attempt to kill yourself." Antos said with certainty and sincerity. "He looked over the readings of Mickey and his. "how did i miss this??" he said looking over the scans. "Theirs nothing here that would show any indication of any possibility of a man on the edge. "And i did not see it coming." Antos said quickly as he took a seat again.

"Antos, it was Bertrand. I picked up his scent in the airlock. Besides i sensed no evil from Mickey because he had an old 23rd century phaser he keeps with him just encase, but he was uncomfortable with the fact of what he did and thinking he could blow himself out of the airlock wouldn't have been nice." Aladdin said. "I heard everything that happened in the airlock. Remember, good doctor, my ears do more then just frame my face" Aladdin Said Nicely.

"thank you Aladdin! Im still not used to you chatting and all. Please forgive me and my manners. And such a cute face too." Antos tried a small smile. "I guess I will have to get more from Bertrand?" Antos said with more confusion. "whats Bertrand have to do with this? Or his scent i mean?" looking at Mickey and Aladdin.

Aladdin tried to explain the best way he knew how. For a Canine he tried his best. "You know, i sniffed him so that way i can be more familiarized with the crew Antos. Bertrand, i don't know how or why but i think it was something he said that got to Mickey, but don't be to hard on Bertrand i mean Yes i know he was being a party pooper but he was doing his job. But, i had an odd feeling that something was going to happen. So Bertrand, had to save the day." Aladdin explain a little but mickey joined in.

"I was feeling all crappy, i thought there was nothing else for me. So i took myself to the airlock, but Cor wouldn't let me blow myself out into space so i had to initate a transporter inhibitor and set a phaser to overload he thought i was going to fire. But, his quick reflexes caught me off guard, he disabled the phaser. I am also a phaser builder my designs are of the 23rd century. The phaser i have is from the year 2285, i always like that one so i made it and added a recharger pack. But Bertrand has it for now because i think until further notice, i would probably be confined and need to be re-evaluated antos" Mickey said politely and calmly. "I guess what i am saying is, whatever happened with him at Wolf 359 made him more appreciative of life" Mickey said in short.

"So, whats the bad news?" Mickey asked about his exam.

"well i don't see anything wrong with the scans coming through on either of us." Antos said quickly to Mickey. "I don't even see how or why you would have done such a thing. I even ran a psycho-tricorder on you as well as me. and all is normal might have been the drink?" Antos asked. " maybe it was spiked?"

"One other option is me to go into your mind and get a better look beyond the tricorder and other instruments and i know this will be more personal then most want but it might explain alot more but its up to you. Mickey?"


"As Acting Ensign, i suggest it." Aladdin said nicely. Mickey Agreed with his dog. "So your a betazoid too, Antos?" Mickey asked nicely.

"Yes I have been since I was born." He said with a smile. "Aladdin thank you for the support and trust." He said looking at Mickey. "After being so close by mind you might have questions or concerns. And I understand that completely. But this is one certain way to know if all is on the level or I was blind sided by other things." He said calmly to Mickey. "As for me my mind has to be open to you as well so its a fair exchange and there are no secrets between us."

"My mind, it's odd but no secrets" Mickey said as he prepared for the meld.

"Its a betazoid joining of the minds. not to be mistaken for a Vulcan mind meld. Our joining is more special more intimate and more deeper then a vulcan mind probe. " Antos explained a moment as he prepared. "I don't mean just you having secrets but I do and you will know them when this is over." Antos said with a bit of concern at the words the that mickeys mind was a bit odd.

"All right, no secret's though. Do it" Mickey calmly prepared for the worst.

"You will hear my thoughts in your mind. The further I go in you will pick up on more and more of my presence in your mind. you will have free access to all my thoughts from my family and past lovers etc. And I will know yours and I will notice anything out of the ordinary." Antos spoke verbally as he slowly shifted into a mental channel to Mickey. ~" Are you receiving?"~ Antos thought to Mickey.

The imagery of the minds began as Mickey's mind transported to the one long lost ship never to be seen or heard from again. The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Refit. Mickey's Memory palace would always be of that form as they were transported to the refitted bridge, of the old starship. "Coming loud and clear, we are in my memory palace. The form of the U.S.S. Enterprise." Mickey said as he sat in James T, Kirks, chair.

"Very nice Mickey! Pretty darn accurate too!" Antos said with a polite smile. "Its fine we are at your Memory Palace.This is fine fore starters we can view your mind and share on the viewer." Antos suggested." We will see my Memory Palace soon enough too along with my dreams. But for now lets start at the beginning."


"Many year's ago, i had lost my girlfriend on an assignment in alpha quadrant." The viewscreen played back that final day showing antos what happened and how Mickey's condition to not make him age that fast came to play. It was his dark moment in his life. "But, in a different lifetime i keep having this feeling that i was on this ship in a different reality were there was this one family defying all odd's found this ship but at huge cost" Mickey said he kept feeling he was himself but in a different universe.

"Very good Mickey! Your doing good so far! I admit that theses images are not easy to look at or acknowledge but I am proud of you for being dedicated.I know living with such heart ache is not an easy thing but it will get easier with time." He commented quickly As he continued to watch quietly as the Mickey show was on the main viewer. "This is interesting you feel like your living different life on different planes or universes?" He asked him calmly. He typed notes into a padd near him in the real world. As he stood next to him in the memory.

"Yes, there was this man in the alternate universe who was misunderstood. I don't remember much but i felt like that man who had been there was trying to let the darkness within me come out" Mickey was feeling anxious to see that man. He cannot even remember who it was. F.M. was his initials.

"Calm down Mickey He will show himself in time." Antos said calmly to him as he continued to make notes. "why would this man want you to let your darkness out?" Antos asked.

"At first this guy was good he had it all, love, family, a career. But, he threw it all away for a chance to find the Old Enterprise. Everyone called him crazy for it but i feel like if i succumb to that....." Mickey was terrified. "there are somethings i have to let go. Do you remember the unofficial final mission of that ship? That's what he couldn't let go. He wanted to prove that anything was possible, but it cost him everything." Mickey was afraid that he would make the same mistakes. "I couldn't let that happened, so i thought if i get rid of the problem me, it would not be a repeat. But Bertrand was right, life is too important to throw away." Mickey was calm as the face of his other life showed up.

"we all can get into things that are not good for us." Antos commented quickly. "This is a major concern?? What if you try again?? I will make this clear There are people here that care for you and your well being. granted its not usually possible to have a loved on returned to us. Or fighting with a life on another plane of existence. I am more then willing to help you Mickey. Even if my carrier may take a blow due to your suicide attempt due to me signing off that you were fit and and finding out you had more issues that me and the tricorder missed the first time." Antos said without any anger or concern for his own carrier. "Your my top concern now."


"Or fighting the fact. This man, i'm afraid of more because all he cared about was finding the Enterprise. I'm afraid if i speak of her i might succumb to her again. I simply refuse to believe she burned in the atmosphere of the Genesis planet back in Alpha Quadrant. But, there's nothing i can do." Mickey said as he had an image of what the wrecked ship would look like in his mind. But it was a falsity. "What matters is the hear and now my friend." Mickey just wanted to be taken seriously as he remember a memory that showed up on the viewscreen. "i went to the Johnson space center in Houston Texas, during my retirement and i saw one of the Old Enterprise's, shuttles. The Galileo herself" Mickey went to that memory as he was transported from the ship to that shuttle.

"I am here for you Mickey and I know your being serious about all you said! But I am just as serious too Mickey!" Antos said quickly. "She is a beautiful craft!" Antos commented as the scenery changed. "Have you been over the tapes of that mission to see if there was anything odd from that time frame? The Klingon sensors could help you to find answers? " Antos said quickly. "where was your girlfriend exactly?"

Changing the subject his memory palace went to the moment of where she died. "She was in the decks helping crew evacuate. Then a plasma conduit ruptured and blew up killing her instantly" Mickey saw her die again as he couldn't look at it as he went back to the bridge of the enterprise. "Damn it." Mickey said as he sat on the floor blinking hard to hold back the tears.

"I am so sorry Mickey! I knew she meant a lot to you." Antos said sincerely to him. "I did not mean to make you relive the horror of it."

"I am afraid that if i resume the research, i will get caught up in the moment. As much as i want to know i cannot." Mickey said as he looked up at him at the floor

"I understand your afraid of the same thing happening again or worse." Antos said quickly."I am sorry as I said a moment ago! I did not mean to make you relive the horror." Antos said sincerely to him as he had a tear as he felt the loss first hand. "Is there anything else you would like to share or do you want to take a break? Or do you want to continue on?"

Mickey shared something personal from his childhood. "No, what really hurt was the death of my grandpa. He died of Alzheimer's, a few years back. I am glad i got to say goodbye to him. But when it happened i felt a calm soothing relief. it was weird" Mickey said as he looked up at him.

"A death of a loved one is especially hard thing. And having the opportunity to say goodbye always makes things a bit easier then not having a chance at all to say your final goodbyes to the ones we love." Antos said quickly. "that might be why?? You never got to say goodbye to your girlfriend which in turn, it was much harder for you to move on with less pain and resentment." Antos commented as he continued to take notes.

"Maybe, but holding on to things, can also be bad for you, that you don't want to lose them from your life. Just like Ambassador Spock, for example. I know i'll probably meet him in the next life. But, i've loved them all, well scratch that i know everyone loved that crew. But, my love for them goes beyond linear time." Mickey just smiled thinking of the good. "I'll always have those memories they no matter what are still alive in there"

"I agree its never a good idea to hold things in like that it could kill you?" Antos said quickly to him. Its never easy to let go at times but its good for all concerned if you do move on. Antos was confused by the tangent that Mickey took on a different subject. "They were unique group that was for sure and the exploits were things of legendary status to say the least. Other then what i read of them in history books I dont know much more about them."

"Letting go is hard to do. Until, i know so i shall have to go see the councilor for this." Mickey realized it was going to be hard but somehow it would work.

"agreed there that it is!" Antos commented quickly. "your more then welcome to see an counselor or myself since i am counselor trained as well. "I am pretty certain that you are ok and stable for the most part." Antos said then stopped. "I am putting myself out there on a limb remember that. And also we shared some of your most personal thoughts and i know at times that was not an easy thing to do. Your more than welcome to ask things about me too. this way you feel more comfortable with me... I hope." Antos said with a soft smile.

"Sense i shared some of your life. Let's hear about some of yours" Mickey said nicely.

"what do you want to know?" Antos asked calmly to him. "Is there something familiar you want to know."

"Anything man, you decide" Mickey said nicely

"Well I am no strange to loss and hurt," He said as he used Mickeys view screen to show his loss to him. "Betazed during the occupation I seen families town apart by the crazy practices of the Dominion and there forces I was on Betazed on shore leave they did not know that i was a Star Fleet Officer or I would have been in another group entirely for torture and to get all the in-tell they wanted I have quite a few friends that died there."Images of lost friends and comrades flashed on the screen.

"Lives and families were being torn apart by dominion forces for there own perverted games from experimentation and other cruel medical experimentation." Antos said with a wavering voice. "I guess i am one of the lucky family's that I only lost my grand parents." As the images flashed across the viewer.

"I was there a short time before the invasion of Betazed happened." Antos said with another waver in his voice. After the initial attack they started there torture of anyone they thought might be a threat or spy. I was one of the people they apparently saw as a threat and my grandparents as they locked us all in a cage together. But before long they separated us for a bit." he took a deep breath before continuing. The torturing session were long and almost always deadly." he took another breath. "We were in small cages so it was not easy to get comfortable."

"One of the final sessions the dominion though it funny to make me watch the tortures of my grand parents. then was forced to see them die after there torture sessions were done they placed me on the table to be next one to take the testing and torture." he shook. "I was locked int a rack type device and forced into watching of all the torture. I felt there pain and torture too."

It was by the grace of the goddess that Star Fleet was able to liberate Betazed again. as they fled the torture me a bit before the left. I was stuck to the table for hours. When a Star Fleet Team came in and let me loose and took me directly to sickbay to recover." Antos said quickly. "From the internal traumas to the other outer ones."

Antos forced himself to see them one more time. in a better light. As an image of his grand parents were happy and at peace during a life celebration just weeks before the Attack on Betazed and the occupation.."I love and miss you both grandfather and grandmother! He sighed a bit loudly then he attended as tears started to fall down his cheek. As the final images flashed across the screen.

"Sorry man, i know what death is like as i had seen it before" Mickey patted the man on the shoulder


As the image faded to static. "I am sorry! Maybe that was to personal."Antos said quickly as he attempted to wipe the tears away in the dream realm and also in the real world. He tried to speak and stopped. He focused his mind on more pleasant thoughts of his youth as he played a piano from a very young age. as the viewer started showing him practicing a rather difficult piece of music to most he was playing it like a prodigy. It was flowing like magic in the air as his family listened to him during one of his recitals. The image on the screen look right at Mickey. Which was a bit creepy to say the least. "I hoped you like it Mickey!" came from the image from the viewer instead of from Antos himself.

Mickey was like shaken up from what happened a bit spooked out but nodded to say the least as he got up from the floor and sat in the captains chair. Mickey Applauded for his work

"Antos, not bad my friend not bad" Mickey said nicely

Antos looked confused. "not Bad?? " He was totally confused.

"What i am saying is i never heard that type of playing before i really loved it man. What song is it?" Mickey said nicely

"It was from an old earth composer! Mozart! I believe his name was."

Mickey decided to break the mind trans as he was getting too comfortable inside the Enterprise. Maybe later but he needed to get out into the real world. "Can you play Ode to Joy? Besides, it is very stimulating to my soul. I can build you a piano, and put it in your quarters, if you want" Mickey was at a calmer frame of mind.

Antos was going to say something but realized Mickey cut it He must have his reasons. "Sure?! I have been known to play piano peaces that a three hande piano player would play and cry because with me playing with two hands did good or better then they had." Antos said with a smile. "Build me a Piano??" Antos stopped speaking at the mention of this. "I dont want to put you out? Or cause any problems? Antos said sincerely to him as the smilled into a straight face.

"Well afterwerds i mean" Mickey said with a smile

"True enough! Let me know when you are building the piano I would like to watch its construction if thats ok?" Antos said with a kind smile. "Let me know if there is anything i can do or help ok? Antos said kindly to him. Antos felt that mickey was now more of a brother to him due to the new closeness they shared together.

"In the meantime my friend, what do you want me to do in the meantime." Mickey gave his friend a pat on the shoulder.

"your free to do what you wish my friend I believe I can trust you not to do anything stupid or rash. Right?? Then you are cleared for light duty. But i Believe you still have to see the new counselor before full work clearance can be granted even though i do have counselling privileges and i had you first but I need to share..." He let out a small laugh.


"Ok, but considering pre-caution man. Security may confine me to quarters. But all right, i'll take it easy though" Mickey said nicely

"I guess so! I will have a talk with the new counselor and the security department." Antos said a bit feeling of being a bit overboard on the security things.

"Eh, crap happens im going to my quarters now see you later" Mickey and Aladdin left.

"take care Mickey and Aladdin." He said sincerely. Kinda heart broken at the situation he got himself into.
