Medical Officer's Log, Stardate 57921.4
Recently I have begun research into the mysterious illnes that
currently plagues Fleet Admiral Kathryn Janeway. I became acquatined
with her ailment only a few weeks previous and the following log entries
will document my attempts to save her life.
The patient's inital symptoms are: joint and muscle pain, lack of
apetite, fatigue, sensitivity to light and touch, and an increasing
sensitivity to heat. As far as can be determined at this point, no
physical representations of advanced disease have occured (hair loss,
tumors, leisons, sores, etc...) but as the patient is now absent it is
hard to acertain if these manifestations have not begun.
Before the patient left, I was able to obtain several blood samples
from the Admiral, and though they are now several weeks old, they still
provide the best information. I am convinced that the answers to all
this lie in the blood, and I am attempting a full histiological workup
at this time. I can only hope that the disease does not mutate or
rapidly increase in productivity while the Admiral is gone, and that the
cure I develop for her will still be viable.
Preliminary testing shows that the Admiral's leucocyte production is
quite low, with Eosinophils and basophils showing the least in
production in her body. Her neutrophilic count however, is alarmingly
high, and I can only hope this is not the end result of some
anastomosing tumor that has now branched to her lymphatic and endocrine
system. Systemic linkage on this magnitude could lead to a more severe
form of disase that would be near impossible to treat. Wherever the
Admiral is, I hope she takes good care of herself. At last report, she
was using B-12 vitamin injections to supplement her energy loss, but the
virility of the disease has probably made this stop gap measure futile
by now. My first series of tests should be completed in the morning,
and I shall make a full report of findings after the analysis.
