You succeeded.Suspended in a chemically neutral oxygenated liquid, Isha floats within a medical cryopod. The readout is quickly spilling out information about her damage- a lot of internal hemorrhaging, several broken ribs, minor nutritional problems, and a major infection.
Dave peers at the screen, frowning. The readout bleeps as it downgrades 'major infection' to 'minor', as the nanotechnology flooding Isha's body is quickly breaking down the infection- while at the same time promoting cell growth and supplying important structural nutrients to the needed locations.
"... This feels almost like cheating." He says, peering at you. "It's cheating, isn't it?"
"That was one question. The answer is yes." You respond, your spider-shaped shell propped on his shoulder. Your newly-repaired leg still continues to stick now and then, but it's loosening up as you use it. "Welcome to Old Power technology."
Dave just scoffs, and limps over to the second pod to examine the injured Free member there.
Someone knocks on the door, and walks in without hesitation- it's Mike.
"Hey, Azure." He says. "Can I have a moment to talk?"
"Very well." You say, and spring onto his shoulder. He flinches, but walks out into the hall. "Why is that?"
"We've been discussing you quite a bit. Abel, I, and Isha between sessions in the 'pod." He says. "We'd normally wait to do this when Isha's out of the tube, but right now Kate is distracting the current leaders of the Free. So we're doing it now."
