You can't just give him more of the same stuff?

[ He might not like doctors and might distrust pretty much all medicine, but if this stuff worked a little, surely using more of it will work more, right? ]

I can and I will. But you heard the recording. Giving the captain pain relief treatment would be like trying to tend to an amputated limb with aspirin. It will help mitigate the symptoms. But it does nothing to remove the cause of the suffering.

Besides, we know next to nothing about the long term effects of this. Maybe it will continue to work. Maybe he will develop an immunity. I do not know. Unless I can actually see the captain, all we can do is try everything and see what works.

You try to go see him, and you'll end up sanitized.

[tarakan]

I know. I could attempt to derive a better antidote from a blood sample, but that has the same problems: the moment I step foot in that room, I will be sanitized. And while blood samples can be retrieved remotely, I suspect L3TH3 will not grant access.

If you or anyone else has any ideas on how to fix that problem, I'll happily listen.

Ask L3TH3 to get a sample for you.

[ Look, okay, maybe it's a stupid idea, but if the AI really does want what's best for everyone, then maybe it can be convinced that, as ship's doctor, Hilbert has to have a recent sample from Drake. And if he can't go in, then why can't L3TH3 send the sample out?

Maybe it's a really stupid idea, but it might work? ]

[tarakan]

L3TH3 absolutely will not consent to that.

[ It's a stupid as hell idea. ]

But there is no shame in asking.
