Doc Rich sat in her office, going over the biometrics from the night before, a troubled expression on her face. “Medical 1, Medical 3, join me, please.”
“I think I’ve got a little something we need to look at,” she said, picking up a controller and turning on a monitor mounted on the wall as they arrived.
“As you know, when I review the biometrics each day I look for two things. First, of course, are signs of any abnormal respiratory or cardiac activity. But the second thing is signs that the Field Team guys are exhibiting a healthy libido. It seems to be the best barometer of how well they’re doing, especially with regard to emotional stress.”
She showed a display of a biometric trace, with heart and respiration traces marked out from top to bottom with labels reading from FT1 to FT7. Noting an area on one of the field team’s traces where heart rate and respiration increased dramatically during a short period of time, she said, “We all know what’s happening here.”
The other two doctors smiled. “An indication of a healthy libido,” Doc Wright said.
“Yes. Now here’s what’s been happening with our team over about the past ten days.” She ran the progress bar on the traces forward and stopped. “Right here, we see an uptick in activity for these two.” She pointed out traces FT6 and FT7. “Then it declines. At the same time, we see all of the other members of the Field Team’s activity likewise decline. As of last night, FT1 through 5 are virtually nil. FT6 and 7 show a huge burst of activity right after the evening meal.
“This morning I noticed that Hank was limping while walking to breakfast. I examined her and found a huge bruise on her right leg. She claims she fell in the bath and hit her leg on the toilet. I’m not quite buying it.”
“What do you think happened?” Doc Wright asked.
“The two of them were together in Spud’s quarters when this burst of activity occurred. I think it’s possible that she was assaulted by Spud last night.”
Doc Andy shook his head. “No, Lois.” He sighed. “I can see how the data leads you to that conclusion, but your conclusion is wrong.” He took the controller and ran the traces backward a bit. “You see Spud’s trace from yesterday?” He cut the area of the trace and then moved it to place it over the trace from the evening before. “See how there’s no increase in respiration in these two traces, and how the onset is dramatic and not gradual the way we typically see when one of the team is masturbating? What you’re seeing here isn’t sexual activity on his part. It’s distress.”
“Are you certain of that?” Doc Wright asked.
“Yes, because I know exactly what was happening during this first trace. The time corresponds to when Spud was in my office. He was very distraught. So much so that I sedated him and sent him to his quarters.”
Doc Rich was taken aback.
