The Sickbay’s doors opened to reveal Alwyn and Kovan entering the room. The doctor seemed concentrated and started to order Kovan : “Alright, now you go to the biobed, I’ll be right back.” He seemed pretty irritated, maybe because Kovan contradicted him at the Gym.

Alwyn started by quickly washing his hands and putting on a lab coat, which kinda look strange with his gym outfit, but was understandable. He then took a hypospray with some canister and loaded a painkilling in it before coming back at the Andorian.

“Here”, he says while making an injection. “That should help with the pain.”

Kovan flopped down onto the biobed, then grimaced as he jostled his injuries. He felt a bit out of place sitting in middle of sickbay in his gym uniform but it was better than a patient’s smock. “Pain wasn’t the issue,” Kovan said, sounding tired. There wasn’t much fight left in him at this point. Between shocking his hand some few hours earlier while working his engineering shift (immediately after a communications shift), working out until he couldn’t think anymore, and dropping the heavy bar weight it was a mystery were he found the energy to be sarcastic.

Alwyn gave the Andorian a sarcastic smile : “Really ? I was sure I saw a big blue guy writhe in pain just a moment ago.” Kovan looked exhausted and sounded so. Clearly, adrenaline left his body for a while now and he was suffering the backlash.

Alwyn ran a general analysis on Kovan’s body and focused the research on the wounded surface. Verdict quickly came out : Hopefully, the skeleton wasn’t harmed, which was impressive but was thanks to the pectoral muscle that took the whole shock and dispersed it as much as he could, like a trampoline. But it resulted in him having the muscle mostly torn. The bleeding was already slowing down, discarding the fear of a hemorrhage.

The doctor clapped his hand : “So, I have some good news : no fracture in sight, thanks to your muscle. Should it be an untrained muscle it wouldn’t have absorbed the shock and your bones would have broken. You ‘only’ have the whole pectoral muscle torn.”
“As for the bleeding”, he added while making another injection “it would be done in a couple of minutes.”

Kovan grunted, because he did not “writhe” in pain and the doctor’s memory of the event must be foggy. He did wince when he was suddenly given an injection, “Great. So I can go now?” Sure torn pectoral muscle sounded bad, but doctors always made injuries sound bad. It came with the fancy, descriptive medical jargon they favored. And, doctors made a big deal out of small injuries because then it gave them something to do.
