ON:YGGDRASILL/WHATEVER
Shaun leaned back in the small chair with his hands rested behind his head. With Eve watching over the weapon systems he finally had some peace and quiet. He was for the most part alone other then the girl laying on the medical bed nearby.
The Lorath ship soon disconnected from the Yggdrasill and turned away from it, pulling away from the ship and moving towards the Kathra station.
Toshiro re-emerged onto the bridge, reassuming command... "Thanks, Ken. I'll relieve you now...Toshiro to Med Bay One, what's the status of our patient?"
Shaun leaned forward in the chair pressing his right hand to his ear "She's stable, Captain. Nothing new to report at the moment."
Toshiro nodded. "Understood...Toshiro out."
Hmm...Kairi thought quickly and likely saved that woman's life...her actions were exemplary...Shaun managed to get over his racism and help the Neko woman with no hesitation, and Ken managed to remain at his post through it all, even though it was the least interesting job...They may ALL be command-level material...
Kairi walked into the medbay, addressing Shaun. "How's she?"
The doctor seemed to be resting peacefully; blissfully unaware of her surroundings.
Shaun looked up as Kairi walked into the room. "So far she's just sleeping. I'm guessing she will probably stay that way until her body repairs itself."
Serenity had long ago left the medbay and returned to the kitchen. Everything was back up then and cooking, a pot bubbling up around the edges now as she turned down that burner, then moved over to the bit of solid food in a pan. Adding in a little bit of seasoning as well as some sauce, whatever she was making looked really good.
Kairi nodded, pulling up a chair. "I'll sit in with her if you want to go get some food, or something. Serenity's cooking something last I checked, and I think we have some snack cakes or something."
Toshiro went to his quarters and placed the diamond he'd obtained in his drawer, locked it, and returned to the bridge... "Alright...once our patient is aware and brought up to speed, we'll head planet-side..."
Shaun leaned back against the wall as Kairi sat down. "I'll be alright, besides I at least want to stick around until she wakes up. I certainly don't mind the company though. It was getting a bit quiet in here"
The machine monitoring Remi's vitals peeped slightly. It seemed the machine was picking up an increase of activity. Sure enough, beneath the jacket; one of her hands twitched a little.
Shaun looked over as the machine picked up higher vitals. "Well damn...that was quick..."
Kairi grinned. "Amazing what a neko body can do, huh?"
Shaun shrugged. "Yeah...I knew your bodies healed quick, but damn."
The doctor's hand weakly clutched at the jacket a little. It seemed like she was dreaming, or waking up.
It turned out she was just dreaming.
Shaun stood up, pushing the chair against the wall before walking over to the machine and checking it. He looked back and forth between it and the patient. "I'd say she can go without the mask. Her breathing should be fine on its own now."
Serenity began to hum a small song, smiling as she added the noodles to the sauce, some broccoli falling in with it as well as she began to stir it all up. The meat within the sauce turned out to be chicken in actuality. As she made sure the noodles got mixed up well enough before she added in a few more spices. As she stirred in the spices she doled out a two servings, leaving the rest of the rather large pot on the stove at a very small flame. She made her way out of the room and down to the medbay with the two plates.
Kairi looked up as Serenity made her way in. ~Serenity, that smells wonderful!~
Shaun stopped turning as Serenity entered. "I smell something good..."
Serenity's smile went wide again as she held the two plates out, her tail wagging again.
Shaun took a plate and grinned. "Hey, thanks. This looks great." He walked back over to his chair and sat down, putting the plate in his lap before he started eating it.
Kairi translated for Shaun as she took a plate as well. ~This is one of my favorites, how'd you know?~
Serenity shrugged. ~"I make what had..~"
The doctor's eyes slitted open just barely. Not noticeable to anyone unless they were paying very close attention.
Shaun stopped eating for a moment as he looked over at the doctor. He didn't notice anything and just shrugged off the weird feeling he had before going back to the food in front of him.
Her eyes opened a little more now. All she could really see was light, and blurry images.
There was a small groan soon following.
Shaun stopped eating and looked over with the spoon still in his mouth.
Kairi looked up from her food. "She's waking up," she stated. Moving over to the patient, she looked softly at her. "Good morning."
Serenity looked over and blinked, before she tapped Kairi. ~"Others tell ready food yes?"~ Before she disappeared out of the medbay. She went back to the kitchen to get more food for the woman on the bed.
Shaun put his plate down and walked around to the other side of the her. He grabbed what looked like a small flashlight and slowly flashed it back and forth over her. "Are you able to follow the light?"
Her eyes followed the light very slowly, but it was a start, at least.
Shaun turned off the light and put it away. He leaned forward and spoke softly "Are you in pain?"
She had her eyes on him. While she didn't speak verbally she did so telepathically. It feels as if an SMX flash missile went off in my skull, Came the weak yet curt reply.
Kairi spoke up. "Welcome to the SRSS Yggdrasill. I'm the one that pulled you from that trashed Tripster... Might I ask your name?"
After a moment her eyes moved over to Kairi. Remi...
Shaun could never seem to get use to hearing voices in his head, but that was an issue for another day. Shaun walked away from the table for a moment before returning with a small bottle. He opened it and dropped a single pill into his hand. "This is a light pain killer. This should help some, but I'm only going to allow you to take one as your still not one hundred percent."
Kairi gave a soft smile. "It's nice to meet you, Remi. I'm Kairi."
Remi slowly opened her mouth.
Serenity returned a short while later with another steaming plate of the food, her tail slowed in it's wagging but still was.
Shaun slid the pill into her mouth. "Try and swallow it without chewing."
She had a little trouble at first, but eventually the pill went down.
How long was I out? Remi queried.
Shaun nodded "Alright, that should help with your head. I'd say you're well enough to be moved to a real bed. Even with your ability to regenerate you are in serious need of rest..."
