[Doc Holliday]

It was 48 hours after DeSouza's surgery. He was still under anesthesia and guarded. John Holliday came in to check on him running another bio scan. As he did, he chatted with the attending nurse.

"How's he been, Stacy?" he asked.
"Stable," she answered.
"Good," replied Doc smiling, "So how's that new baby of yours?"
She smiled, "He's doing well, Doctor. Growing quick. Thanks for asking."
Doc just smiled in response as he scanned.

Everything was healing nicely and no rejection of the new liver was detected. He then went to leave the room, "Stacy, keep him under. He'll heal better that way. I have a transmission to make."
"Yes, Doctor," she answered as he left.

In the comm center, he sat before a view screen as he locked in a secure transmission to the Order aboard Battleship Isis and Planet Toledo. He wasn't sure exactly who would respond but he figured someone needed to know.

Greetings, Gentlemen,

For those of you who don't know me, I am Dr. John Henry Holliday, chief medical officer and owner of Med.Force medicine and a surgeon here at Canaria Medical. Recently, one of your own was found crash landed on the surface of the planet, rescued by a Zoner recovery team and brought here for treatment. By all rights, this man should be dead but for whatever reason, I have him stabilized after many hours of work. He is currently under anesthesia to allow healing for the many wounds that he has received.

Many internal injuries have been closed as has a nasty head wound that he had and we were fortunate enough to have adequate blood supplies on hand along with some Zoners who were compatible and donated. He's not out-of-the-woods yet, however. He's got a pretty nasty leg twist. I found his right leg dislocated at the hip which was taken care of but that same knee will need replacement as the whole thing is pretty well shreaded. I'm going to wait until he's healed some before I do though.

We also found an ID with him, Robert D'Souza. He'll be safe here. Please, contact me to acknowledge receipt of this message. I can send you specifics and updates on Mr. D'Souza later.

Dr. John Henry Holliday
Chief Surgeon
