Nurse Sutalo had booked a slot for the captain in Sickbay, and arranged it also with engineering so that Mr Batario could join with his engineering expertise. Symar – the most senior medical officer on board with years of experience would lead the medical side of it all, while Batario would assist with his engineering skills.

The problem at hand was this: The captain’s bionic arm had de-attached during the Malone shooting. It was unclear whether the arm was damaged or not, or whether the violent de-attachment had caused neural damage.

Sutalo waited for Symar and Batario to join him in the private suit. Of course, he was waiting also for the patient. Just a few more minutes…
