Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

[Akirapryde]

Alice listened to Suki’s story carefully. Unlike the others, Alice listened with the ears of a scientist. Carefully dissecting each detail of Suki’s story and applying every detail to the scientific process. Gone was the details about the beauty, instead Alice listened to the details about the nebula. Her mind went over every detail carefully as Alice started to draw her own conclusions. It was clear that Alice was thinking hard about the details.

Once Suki’s story was completed, Alice guided Suki to a standing position. She gave Eric a nod and started to lead Suki out of the medical bay. As she passed Eric, Alice leaned closer to him and whispered low enough that only Eric could hear. “Eric” she whispered getting his attention. “Remember what I said back on the Kellington about that missing Comstar Explorer Corps ships. It happened about thirty years ago.” On that note, Alice led Suki from the medical bay.

When Adrian started to stir, the doctor turned his head towards Adrian. He rose from his desk while picking up his medical tools. The Japanese Doctor walked over to the side of Adrian’s bed. “Take your time” the Doctor said with a thick Japanese accent. “The confusion you are experiencing right now will pass quickly” he said taking Adrian’s arm carefully. “Your ship was involved in an accident. Many of your shipmates didn’t make it, but some of them survived” he explained. “Allow me to take some checks with you” the doctor said as he started to take Adrian’s blood pressure. “Tell me, how are you feeling” the doctor asked as he took Adrien’s vitals

As Eric walked over to the glass cabinet, the nurse got up from her desk. She walked up behind Eric with a smile. “Allow me to help you, Sir” she said with a smile and unlocked the cabinet. The glass door swung open with ease. Within the cabinet were the non-weapon belongings of the party. Eric found each party member’s clothing and belongings neatly cared for and folded. He could easily tell Suki’s pile by her white Comstar outfit. He could easily identify his own belongings as well as Alice’s Noteputer. Once the cabinet was opened, the nurse returned to her desk and continued to take her notes as the Doctor called out Adrian’s vitals.
