Chapter 3 - Starlight Starbright

:::turns to Caressa:: Doctor, go ahead the floor is yours.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:02 PM
::Carresa sat up straight in her seat. Padd in hand:: The medical department with all hands on deck reviewed the 24 hours worth of tests . They have shown that only females on the Merc were affected with the anger issues. Best diagnosis is that the radiation given off by the new star somehow penetrated into the parts of the brain which affect reason and emotion. Why the difference in genders would require much more study. We will continue to look at the raw data.

::Seated, as always, where she can keep an eye on the stars outside and make sure they’re more or less in the right spot..::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:03 PM
I didn’t even think about the fact that on the bridge only the female officers were affected.
Lt Kerwen Nuhl-Helm — Today at 9:03 PM
Then I am even more glad that I am unjoined. ::Gravely::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:04 PM
Yes, no smart ass comments either.
Cdr Edra Crow — Today at 9:04 PM
Have there been any lingering effects reported?

::hides a smirk with a cough::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:05 PM
None that have been reported. Once we left the influence of the radiation. All emotional outbursts ceased.
Cdr Edra Crow — Today at 9:05 PM
::raises a brow toward Trisha::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:06 PM
Well let’s keep a healthy distance, shall we?
Lt Kerwen Nuhl-Helm — Today at 9:06 PM
Next time, I back us off without permission. ::Nods::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:06 PM
That would be in your best interest. :: she smirked::
Lt. Ghas – COpsO — Today at 9:06 PM
Boy am I glad for that, what you all were thinking? Tsk. You should be ashamed of yourselves
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:07 PM
Lt. ? What did I say about smart ass comments?? Hummm
Lt. K’Naut, Chief Engineer — Today at 9:07 PM
I know of a few dozen cases of similar effects in gravitationally unstable conditions.
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:07 PM
There’s still some–damage control. My calendar filled up rather quickly after the encounter.
Lt. Ghas – COpsO — Today at 9:07 PM
That wasn’t smart, that was factual.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:08 PM
For the time being, at the risk of being called a sexist we’ll deploy some male-only shuttle crews to go a little closer for better sensor readings.
Lt Kerwen Nuhl-Helm — Today at 9:08 PM
And we are absolutely sure it does not impact males?
Of any species?
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:08 PM
Nothing sexist about that. Prudent! ::placing her padd down::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:08 PM
I don’t believe we had any evidence of such
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:09 PM
Nothing noted in the data collected.

Is that some new kind of black market?
Lt Commander Constance Stewart — Today at 9:19 PM
” I have never herd of these guys but I agree we need to get them back from the star”
Lt. K’Naut, Chief Engineer — Today at 9:19 PM
