The medical scanner would show that Achilleas had a skull fracture on the back of his head, a hematoma and brain swelling, as well as a ruptured C3 vertebrae. He wasn’t in good condition at all.

=/\=Kane to Marshall. Report to surgical suite 2-A. Head trauma. Patient being prepped.=/\=

Drake’s heartbeat began to thunder in his ears. He responded =/\=Copy.=/\=

As soon as Solal was out of the way the two medical officers standing by knelt and together they rolled Petrakos and slipped the stretcher under him. “Get him into surgical suite 2-A. Jet’nal get images and scans and load them to the screen in the surgical scrub room.”

Drake stormed into the scrub room and examined all the imaging that had so far been done. “Fracture, hematoma, concussion, ruptured vertebrae. This is fixable.” As he scrubbed up he checked and rechecked the data, looking for anything he had missed. “I’m going to try to repair the ruptured disc primarily. But if that proves impossible, we need to be prepared with a graft of artificial bone. We’ll do what we can for the nervous structures and replace the bone.”

Achilleas’ heartrate was elevated, blood oxygen levels were dropping, pulse was weak and thready. The site of the fracture was on the lower side of the back of his head while the hematoma was likewise at the impact site.
