The gorn whistled slightly to himself as he made his way down the corridors of the ship. With his current predicament, he was doing his best to keep himself calm. Not that it was helping much. He'd only seen her a few munites ago. He had no idea of the men and women in the science division could help, with his ghost problem, but it was worth a try.

Stepping through the doors of the science bay the gorn gave a polite smile to one of the scientists by the door. " Hello there. I'm looking for Lieutenant Commander Vantar have you ssseen her?" He asked politely.

One of the junior science officers spoke. "Isolation Lab 4."

" Thank you." The gorn said with a polite nod as he made he way carefully to the

Arrianna was inside the containment field controlling several manipulator arms. The arms carefully opened a case with something quite hazardous inside. The case itself had Starfleet warning labels along with her people's hazardous technology warning. The manipulator arm reached down and picked up a Borg Prosthesis. Arri spoke. "Beginning analysis. Containment fields at maximum." The manipulator arms lowered the prosthesis onto a table and the arms exchanged tools for a laser scalpel and she began to carefully dismantle it.

Knowing it was not the best situation to interrupt science division whilst they're undergoing their work the big gorn took a position at the observation bay. What little borg tech he'd seen had always been unnerving especially given his own cybernetic implants. He was glad he'd never had to encounter them in his long life.

Arrianna noticed the Gorn and walked towards the observation window. Pushing an communications button. "Hello Commander, What can I do for you?"

" I was wondering if the ssscience divisssion could help me with sssomething. If thisss isss a bad time i can come back later?" The big lizard asked.

Arri responded. "What can we do for you, Commander?" Arri noted.

" I need help with a certain problem I'm having. I appear to be experiencing a haunting of an apparition. My teamsss found nothing,ssso i was wondering if you guys could ssseeif you could find anything wrong." the gorn explained as best he could trying not to sound crazy.

"Hmm... Interesting." Arri noted as she secured the sample and approached the observation window. "Indeed there are things that can be mistaken for ghosts or apparitions. Pure science would cast doubt on the existence of ghosts, but science cannot explain everything in this universe. " Arrianna then stepped into the decontamination booth and stood while the booth activated.

" I know I'm a materialist, but I've used up every method I can think off to determine why I'm seeing my long-dead wife." the gorn said as he waited outside the decontamination booth.

Arrianna walked out of decontamination. "Then perhaps we should wait until nighttime, and ask your wife why she is visiting you. Even in the field of science, answers often begin with questions." The Alindari took off the helmet.

" Ssshe'sss poping up all times of the day not jussst at night and sssadly i ssseem to be the only one who can sssee her." The gorn replied pulling out an ancient-looking notepad and flicked to a few pages. " Here I've recorded all the time'sss i've ssseen her."

The doors of the Science bay opened with a hiss letting the haggard form of Dr. McKay to slowly walk in, her uniform disheveled, her eyes lined with bags, as the Seemingly young Human made her way towards the Pair. "Commander Vantar I need you to authori...." she trailed off as she eyed the gorn with clear suspision before she took just a moment to adjust her uniform. "Ah...Forgive me for interupting Ma'am, I...wasn't aware..." she paused and glanced between the two of them. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something."

" No your not interrupting anything. " The gorn replied. " Jussst asking your bossss if they can help me with a ghossst problem."

"Ghost Problem?" Nevada asked as she glanced between The pair, a bemused look filling her face. "Like..a ghost in a sensor suite, or...Like...you think the Elysium is Haunted?"

" Asss in I'm ssseing my long-dead wife at apparently random timesss. Only I can sssee her and none of the tessst we have done have shown anything unusssual. I was hoping you're department may be able to sssee of you could sssee sssomething the medical computersss may not be detecting." The old gorn explained as if it was the most common incident in the galaxy.

The Human doctor Smirked but did her best to maintain a professional demeanor. "May I...ask how she died?" she asked as she tilted her head to the side. "If its not a touchy subject."

" Childbirth. " the gorn said calmly trying not to let him be dragged back into that room that haunted his nightmares. " Are daughter was ssstillborn asss well. Complicationsss causssed by the hybridization drugsss."

"What are these hybridization drugs. Let's begin with what we know, and follow the leads." Arri mentioned. "I believe I will grace you with my presence this evening."

" My wife was orion. The drugsss were ssso my gorn DNA and her Orion DNA would sssuccessssssfully mix. Sssame asss we give out to thousssands of couplesss looking to conceive every day. Only two hundred yearsss ago they were very primitive. They weakened my wife'sss immune sssyssstem and are daughter'sss birth ripped ssseveral of her arteriesss." the gorn explained.


Nevada sighed quietly. "That rules out my transporter ghost theory then..." she muttered as she brushed some hair from her face. "Hum...I... have been assisting Star fleet medical with Sentient Trials on a New Neurological scanning system if you'd like to give that a Try, see if its some form of deep seated Dementia or hallucination."

"Nevada, I don't thing the Commander would come to us, if a psychological or medical solution was feasible." Arri mentioned. "In fact, I surmise you may have already explored this with Medical?" Arri noted. "Where are your wife's remains?"

The gorn nodded in reply. " Indeed me and my team have tried everything we have up in medical. As for my Ssshassssssou ssshe and my daughter were buried on Capella Prime. The sssame Capella Prime the dominion scorched during the war."

"Have you traveled to any alternate realities in the last decade?" Nevada asked. "Or been exposed to any chroniton radiation?"

" None that I can think off unlessssss you count the little incident with the planet of our future ssselvesss from the crasssh. " The gorn said thinking back to finding his own skull in the muddy pool near the Elysium crash sight.

Nevada's Jaw almost dropped at this. "I...uhm...well...thats something we could....Look into,"

" I can sssend you all the data regarding that incident that we have." The doctor replied.

"Do so, for now Doctor. I'm going to place sensors on you that will closely monitor your area for anything that may give us a clue as to what we're dealing with." Arri mentioned.

" Go ahead. Jussst make sssure there on a different frequency from the medical one. Don't want the data getting mixed up." The gorn said pointing to the medical scanner on the side of his neck.

"That goes without saying, Doctor." Arri began deploying the sensors.

" Had to be sssure." the lizard replied as the last of the scanners were placed on him. " Are they working?" he asked

"They're online." Arri noted. "And I will check up on you this evening."

" Thank you both. Hopefuly thisss may find sssomething." The gorn replied.
