Julie smiles and takes up her spot just outside Nova's door while you stand at Cinn's. About thirty minutes later two doctors and some nurses come by and Julie comes forward to greet them by name. One of the doctors and two nurses go on into Nova's room and the rest go in to check on Cinn. From the doorway, you can see the nurses check on the monitors while the doctor is more hands on with the patient. He murmurs some questions you do not hear and Cinn replies in an equally soft tone, except for the time or three when what he is doing causes her pain and then her response is a bit louder, although still muffled.
After seeming to torture her, the man straightens and goes to the monitors as well before walking to the end of the bed and making some notes on a pad hanging there. He looks up at Cinn and smiles. "You are making better progress than I had expected,Cinnamon. I do not believe in the pablum some of my colleagues use to soothe the soul, so I will be blunt. While you are doing better, you are far from the woods yet. Your implants are probably all that saved your life and that of the young woman in the next room, but they were seriously damaged. I am surprised at the grade of the stuff in you, a lot of which seems to be military grade quality. Now, I ask the next question in all confidentiality; do you wish me to contact the UCAS military about getting replacements for the 'ware that is damaged?"
Cinn looks up at the man, closes her eyes for a moment, then gently shakes her head. The doctor nods before continuing. "I thought not. You do understand that means that some of these pieces will not work properly? The biggest effect is that you might never walk again. Keep that in mind, please. Alright, I will be back to see you this afternoon. I do not think that, besides the 'ware issue, you are out of the woods, health-wise. You must continue to eat and work whatever magic your body is doing to repair itself."
With that, he turns and leaves the room, nodding at you as her goes by. Cinn closes her eyes and you see tears flowing down her face.
