Disbelieved

"I think that we had better get you to sickbay," the captain said. "I expect that the doctor will have medication that will help you with the delusions that you are evidently suffering from."

"Delusions? Why would you think that? I assure you that I am perfectly sane. But I should introduce myself. I am Princess Exotica of Allaria."

"Sure you are," the captain responded. Then he pressed a button on the device that he was pointing at her and she fell unconscious.

"Just a precaution in case her insanity is of a dangerous variety," the captain said. "Arnold, get the doctor to send two orderlies with a stretcher to the bridge, would you."

When Exotica came round, she found that she was lying on a bed in a small cubicle. A man wearing a white coat was standing nearby. "Ah, you're conscious again," he said. "I'm the doctor. I ran some tests on you whilst you were out.

1. "They didn't show any obvious abnormality in your brain, but then many mental illnesses don't cause anything that's obvious."
2. "I'm still waiting for the results. Incidentally, unlike the captain, I know a little history. There actually was a Princess Exotica a couple of thousand years ago. I suppose that you must have read about her."
