Submergence

[Remilia Scarlet]

Two figures stood in the hospital's corridor in the spaceport on the planet Kurile. Research facility where the port was located was already falling into the night. Local time was closing to the night hours and only few lonely people could be seen slowly walking back to their homes.

Hospital corridor was empty and only lone nurse's steps could be heard echoing from it's walls.

The two were standing near the door to one of the rooms talking quietly, and their conversation was barely hearable even in the silence of the hospital chambers. One of them was holding a pilot's helmet also wearing the naval forces uniform. He was of a medium height and apparently was an officer. Another one looked like a typical doctor and was perfectly fitting into the surrounding atmosphere.

"Are you sure? First I heard news about Corsair raider being hit by our patrol but now I'm not sure...."

"I was surprised as well, Tanaka-san. We saw a missile approaching the transport with the new equipement and decided to attack. Yet I couldn't belive someone is attacking us so openly so close to our patrol routes."

"But this woman ..."

"Yes, yes. Her "Titan" was heavily damaged and was just drifting in space intact. I went closer and lit the cockpit with my Chimera's spotlight but then Hiro-kun, my wingman, suddenly decided to launch a rocket. He's afraid of Corsairs."

"She was very lucky that she survived at all, but these injuries ... we still do not know who she is and what she was doing there. We couldn't find any identification papers or cards. Her ship is helpless as well for it was almost utterly destroyed."

"I'll try to find out who she is, but there is no much hope. How about her condition?"

"She is in a deep coma, but it's for the best. There are a lot of external tissues damage and inner organs are damaged as well - we can solve some of those problems here but defenetely not all. Send her back to Honshu."

"Doctor, you must understand that ..."

"And yet, I insist, we've got just a research station here and we don't have the equipment and experienced people to do the necessary surjery. I'll take the responsibility if necessary"

"Fine, you've convinced me, I'll talk to the Command, and if everything goes well, we will send her back to Honshu with the Samura trasport."

"Very good, now I hope you'll excuse me - I have to go to visit few more of my patients."

The figure in white clothes turned around and went away. KNF officer stood at the door for few more seconds and decided that he must go as well. He looked through the small window in the chamber door. There was a girl lying on the bed. She was around 20-24 age and was entangled with wires and sensors of the life support system.

He sighed and left as well leaving the corridor to the falling night.
