The First Tech
shifts his stance impatiently, "Or Gaurdians, or Trustees," he
grits his teeth, "All we dcould get out of your Young Lady was about you
fellows," the FirstTech explains, and then nods, "She looks like
she could use a Friend or Two about now."
Captain Apollo checks and signs the forms.
Leiutenat boomer accepts the forms from Apolo, goes over them,
and adds his signature.
Starbuck accepts the form at last, double-checks it, finally
initializes it in one spot and then handing the form back to the FirstTech,
"More of an Acquantance," Starbuck advises the Tech.
"This is more of a technicality," the FirstTech
remarks, "She wouldn't go into the LifeChamber until someone
signed."
"LifeChamber?" Boomer asks with muted alarm.
"Just a precaution for us on the MedStaff," the
FirstTech explains.
"And," Captain Apollo inquires.
"That Youn Lady shows every sign of too much sun, too many
nights in the open, exhaustion, ankle sprain or strain, and who knows what
she's had to eay," the FirstTech answers easily.
Leiutenat boomer thinks and asks slowly, "Any sign of Flash
Syndrome?"
The FirstTech frowns, "The Doctors aren't sure, they think
it may be some sort of chronic condition with this one," he tries to
recall accurately, "At any rate, no sign of it in her marrow or soft
tissues," the First Tech hesitates, "She seems to suffer from an
extended delerium, we can't keep her bedded down, last time we found her up
and rearranginfg the all the MedTech's Sampler Bottles," shrugs futiley,
"That's why we have her in the LifeChamber."
The Warriors shift their stances in a weary sort of releif.
The FirstTech is mystified.
"That's almost normal for that One," Boomer says with
a slight grin, "Or what passes for Normal."
The Leiutenat Starbuck pats his jacket as if looking up a hidden
store, "Quite a character, that one," he smiles, "Sort of
grows on you, especially once you get to know her."
The FirstTech accepts the clip-file and watches the Warriors
depart.
The FirstTech smiles at a certain irony; the Young Lady had
expressed very simalar setiments when the Tech had been asking her where to
take the Next in KinShip forms.
