Personal log, Nusien

Lieutenant Lora presented herself in sickbay, severe swelling of the throat and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis: allergic reaction. She refused to say to what. Treatment: 15cc of dinaproppaline. Kept overnight for observation.

Just when I was about to assign someone to look into her allergy, the answer came strolling through the sickbay doors. Her co-conspirator, Ensign Vlad presented himself with an active rapid degeneration of dermal tissue. Diagnosis: Edo protein supplement, causes swelling to internal tissue and degeneration to external tissue in humans. Treatment: 55cc trapezamine, dermal reconstruction. Kept next to his partner in crime as a parting gift from me.

As part of the treatment I made sure to give them a stern talking to on consuming alien concoctions and the immense responsibility involved into keeping healthy as part of their military bearing.

I am not looking forward to that talk. In my medical opinion their cranial density is terminal.

This was one of those days on the Galileo, a day of bruises and bad decisions. Other days it just feels like the entire ship is leaking into this room, one patient at a time. Several if we're unlucky. We often are. This definitely was not natural, there always seems to be something. I have served on other ship's before coming to the Galileo, and never experienced as much life or death situations as I have in the short time that I have been here.

It is something worth studying I think. I also fear that I have gotten off on the wrong foot with Ensign Sera in Engineering. In my enthusiasm to get involved in an engineering project again, I think I may have offended her. I apologized and now I can only hope that a friendship can be cultivated. Only time will tell.

In the meantime I have to decide if I should tell Captain Tarin and Commander Warraquim about the illicit food. Decisions, decisions.
