Chapter 463: Parasites.
"Woah woah woah, slow down there folks we are moving way too fast." She said.
All eyes present moved to Scarlet and they all gazed at her curiously. To them, this was the only logical solution for now. Why was she disagreeing with it vehemently?
"You seem to be of a different opinion governor, why?" Dean Mickey asked her.
"Because we are not rushing into this blindly..." she started to explain.
Professor Elrich cut in rather abruptly.
"No offense but you are the governor of the Blue star and not a medical professional. We respect your authority as the governor but medical decisions that impact the empire are a serious thing.
Politics has no room in this matter. If you are worried about optics I can assure you that this will not make you look inadequate in the eyes of your people."
Scarlet scooted closer to the table and looked in the direction of professor Elrich. She knew that he was probably not the only doctor in the room with that opinion.
"One I am highly offended and miffed that you would cut me off while I was still explaining myself professor Elrich but I will let that be.
Two, the internal heat pills which were your first go to solution for the weird pale coldness the first victim suffered are my creation.
If you doubt my research abilities please feel free to ask professor Sham all about them. I go by the name assistant SS on the research paper which he published."
She paused and looked around with a proud satisfied look on her face allowing that information to sink into the minds of all those present that were unaware.
"Not to waste any of our time I will go directly to the point. My son Justin was one of the children affected by this cough and he is already up and running about, completely healed.
He threw up sometime in the middle of the night and we noticed something weird in his vomit so it was sent to professor Sham for analysis. Perhaps he can share what he found in the vomit if it’s relevant."
Professor Sham gave professor Elrich a smug look and he leaned forward, mimicking Scarlet’s position.
"The vomit of young Lord Justin Wu was delivered to me and I personally stayed up all night, not sleeping a wink and examining the contents." He smiled slightly and others glared at him.
It was clear that he was brown nosing. What did he mean by not sleeping a wink? Which one of them enjoyed sleep when an unknown illness swept through the empire?
"The governor also known as researcher SS, " he paused and looked around before going on. " as always, was right to send it to me.
A few tests revealed the presence of living parasites in the vomit." Again, he paused but this time it was for the purpose of being dramatic.
"Of course, they died shortly after my examination begun and I now suspect that they need a living host to survive.
The unknown parasites look like small yellow worms.
I suspect that this could be the cause of the yellow eyes. Perhaps the parasites have matured at that stage, I am not sure everything about my research is speculation at this stage.
My research could not continue deeply after the parasites died." he finished.
After what he shared, the other doctors looked on silently for a while, wondering if they should applaud the smug son of a bitch or congratulate him.
He was surely going to win a scientific discovery medal and a lot of money from the royal family this year.
His profile as a professor and researcher was going to be elevated even more.
Some of the other professors sent hateful glances professor Sham’s way. They had not even been given a chance to compete or show off their own talents.
"What a lucky bastard." Professor mumbled.
Those who were next to him thought the same thing.
"Ahem!!" A sound came from Dean Mickey. "If this is truly the case then it sounds like half of the job has been done for us. Now that we know what to look for, we will handle any such cases more efficiently in future. Governor Scarlet if you don’t mind, the association of interplanetary doctors is willing to buy your recipe for the cure of this parasitic illness.
We will of course give you the credit for it’s discovery because unlike some people here, we do not crave credit which is not ours.
We are also extending a hand to professor Sham. If he doesn’t mind, we would like to research the illness together seeing as to how it cuts across all the planets."
Professor Sham looked at Scarlet and she nodded.
"I am willing to work with you." he told dean Mickey.
Scarlet looked at dean Elrich, smiled provocatively and then looked at dean Mickey. "You can also purchase eighty percent of the herbs used in the recipe from me, I grow them myself in the castle.
I cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the cure if you used random herbs from somewhere else."
She was the only one here with herbs watered with crystal water that would help.
"I would also like to add that we are going to close down the schools temporarily for a week not indefinitely. All children will return to the school only after being vaccinated since we don’t know where they picked up the parasite from.
It’s simple to assume that it’s only in the water on the grey star but who truly knows if it’s not in other places. Prevention in this case is indeed truly better than cure." Scarlet added.
"I guess this medical conference can be ended here then and we can carry on our negotiations privately." Dean Mickey said. "Thank you all for attending the emergency interplanetary medical conference. I would say I look forward to seeing you all again soon but that would be a lie. One we mostly see each other under such circumstances and two, some of your faces are displeasing."
Her hologram video vanished. It seemed, she had ended the call.
Most of the other doctors looked at professor Corm. It was obvious who the displeasing face dean Mickey was talking about was. The two women had a long standing feud which had been going on for close to sixteen years now.
Perhaps the male doctor had been right to call it a cat fight, Scarlet thought. Dean Mickey really didn’t hide her dislike for those she disliked.
Being that woman’s enemy had to be exhausting and embarrassing.
She looked at professor Sham and said, "I noticed what you did there, defending me indirectly like that."
He had really emphasized how right she was as much as she could.
Scarlet stood up, and wished the doctors a good day. She had no more business with them. It was still early, perhaps it was time to meet the deities and discuss whatever they wanted to discuss with her.
