Doc, Jaden, Medicine and Some Rest (Myself and leonardo de tigre only)

[Mr.Fabulous]

Jaden never really thought about exploring the Skyhook on her own: while she did study the layout of the station in case emergencies pop up, she practically stayed either in the Hangar to refit her ship for the next flight, or resigned herself to Sin's After Hours to relax and wind down by herself. A big reason why she didn't even know about the pool, she hated to admit. So when Doc hooked an arm around hers and became Shasta's unofficial tour-guide as they headed to the Sick Bay, she couldn't help but get a little excited at the prospect of knowing what the station had in store for a prospective Corsair vacationer such as herself.

While they more or less went in a straight line towards the other side of the station, there was still much to see. The most notable area they passed through was this great biodome which connected the three “arms” of Shasta together. Doc went through adequate length over the various species of flora and fauna the TAZ raise here for both agriculture and entertainment purposes, their information both extensive and fascinating. Jaden was content with just observing with intrigue the refreshing surroundings as the biodome tenders went on with their work, but it was sweet of Doc to really put in the energy to make the trip all the more worthwhile.

Continuing through the station's numerous hallways and corridors, she got to observe the various inhabitants both temporary and permanently residing here going to-and-fro around. But while most of them went about their day-to-day businesses as usual, there was the occasional person or guard who would bat a long, strange look at the two. The fact Jaden was quite attractive only made the stares all the more suspicious as she walked side-by-side with the leader of the TAZ. Of course this obviously made her feel uneasy, but Doc had his ways as he brushed aside the looks and treated her with great respect and reverence, befitting a visiting dignitary. It was comforting to know she could rest easy, knowing Doc had her back the whole way.

... even if the suspicions were somewhat true.

The moment they entered to the Sick Bay was when the color from her face really left her. But as Jaden sat on a comfy chair with her human arm exposed, Doc smiled and sprayed something strange over a small part of the pit of her elbow, reassuring her it was a special liquid he bought from Cryer that served as both a disinfectant and a powerful anesthesia, so she needed not worry about her condition. Indeed, the affected area felt cold and numb moments later, so the drawing went surprisingly painlessly. Jaden was so impressed with the results that she considered having Doc Holliday, or any of his trusted subordinates, as her personal doctor. He replied with an understandable "I'll think about it" as he handed away the samples to be tested, before gently taking her with him out the Bay.

Several minutes later, they arrived at a nearby cafe. Finding the table reserved in advance for them, the two sat down and were almost immediately served breakfast. For Jaden, she had before her a large helping of Empirio-style cuisine, secretly guesstimated by the cooks to have all the necessary nutrients according to Jaden's supposed needs.

After a short prayer to the loving Madre, she happily and calmly dug her way through the food and spoke to Doc in-between mouthfuls, "So about my medical records, Senor... I'm already downloading them in my datapad for you to browse over. Shouldn't be long now. I have to say, Senor... You indeed have quite the resources to help someone like me, compared to even the poshest hospitals I've visited in House Space. Shouldn't be too surprised though, what with you being the leader of the TAZ and all. I'm glad I was lucky enough to find you while you weren't too busy.

"... Still, it's my fault for not having made the proper formal arrangements with you. I'm sorry I bothered you with my problems on such short notice, Senor Holliday..."

She frowned for a moment, but a thought quickly came to her and made her continue, "Oh... Don't suppose your contacts have now found out if it's possible to have Planet Crete be re-terraformed?"
