During this mission, Jonas faced his greatest challenge so far.  I viral infection was spreading like wild-fire across the entire Starbase, and despite their best quarantine efforts, the virus also spread to the USS Nimitz.

With the [[Chief Medical Officer]] to aid the epidemic on the station, it was down to Jonas and a handful of nursing staff to look after the crew.  With nearly all crewmen confined to quarters, Jonas fought to keep everyone alive long enough for a cure to be found.

Luckily, Kinkaid and Kildare, over on Geneva, came up with a cure in time to limit the fatalities to only a handful.  Soon the drug was distributed to all of the crew and slowly they began to recuperate.  The ordeal exhausted Jonas and everyone would spend the next few weeks on leave to recover from the effects of the virus.

===Promotion===
BigWill Kinkaid's short stay onboard Geneva was enough to convince him to stay, and in his absence Jonas took up the position of [[Chief Medical Officer]].  With a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, he also took on the role as ships [[Second Officer]], a duel role that would put a strain on Jonas's relationships in weeks to come, especially since Wendy Kildare had just arranged for a transfer to the Nimitz as his [[Chief Medical Officer|Assistant Chief Medical Officer]].  For many weeks Jonas had been having second thoughts about his relationship with her.  Was this the final step too far?
