The silence of Yuki spoke louder than words. She was not ready for any kind of inquisition type of treatment. For a minute silence reigned, everyone looking grim and not sure how to act. The quiet time was interrupted by a cheerful female voice from the door that had just opened.
- "Konnichiwa! You must be the captain of "Zuiryu", Shimamori-sama. Hakimemashite, I am doctor Kitagawa, yoroshiku onegai shimasu. I will be taking care of you today".
A short woman in a long white coat with youthfully messy short hair and a spark in her eyes stood before them. Despite the appearance, she had the ID of the medical bay chief doctor and probably had seen a lot given Fort Wakkanai's position. Dr. Kitagawa gave a brief squinting look of evaluation at the four, finally resting her eyes on Yuki:
- "In your request you indicated one of your crew members needed a thorough examination. I guess, that would be this young lady.". - she then addressed Yuki Sinon directly with a note of encouragement: - "Don't worry, this procedure is absolutely painless and very normal on this station. You have nothing to worry about - we have some of the best doctors in Kusari here. Now, what would be your name and how would you describe your feeling right now?""
