"Can I finally get up now?"

The Zoner doctor laughs humorously at the inquiry, "Yes, Mr. Tigre. You may stretch your legs out."

Leonardo looks up to the metallic ceiling for a moment, and gives off a relieved sigh as he elbowed his way up from the bed. Though a bit stiff from prolonged neglect, his joints only popped slightly as he began sitting on the rim of the bed. Slowly, he lowers his feet to the ground, and, after pausing to feel if his recovery was sufficient and satisfied that his bones had finally healed, he tries to do some light, static stretching on the spot for the better part of a minute.

"Thankfully, your admittance hasn't come upon any complications whatsoever. And with your cooperation, the recovery actually proceeded a bit faster than expected. But I suggest you don't apply too much stress on your body just yet, since it's still recovering from the lack of activity. Just keep yourself at some light calisthenics for the succeeding days until your body has adjusted, and you should be fine in a few weeks."

"Alright. Thank you, Dr. Garrus." Leonardo shakes the good doctor's hand firmly and politely.

"Oh, no! There's no need to thank me, Mr. Tigre...

"... In fact, you should be pointing your gratitude towards the Corsair who found and rescued your escape pod. Ms. Chrisostimo's waiting at Room 7, Module 2. She seems to be the patient kind... fairly rare amongst the Corsairs, as far as I know, so you might not want to stretch her thread too far."

"Did she dictate any form of compensation to you for my recovery, Mr. Garrus?"

"Apart from wanting to have a word with you, no. From the look on her face, I'd say she was quite eager to have brought you here... Or maybe she was just eager to get rid of you, I don't know.

"The medical bill of 400K Credits will be taken from your account, Mr. Tigre."

"Right then. Where are my things?"

"They're at the footlocker over there." He points at the silverish-grey, rectangular chest on the opposite side of the room, just beside the door, "Your things seemed to have faired off better than you did, Mr. Tigre: your clothes are still intact, and your pistol's still in working condition, according to the reports from the Security.

"... Though, I have to ask: are you really a Zoner, and not actually a Junker? All of your instruments and tools seem to have been made from derelict parts and scrap, yet still in quality condition; even your pistol was made from parts that weren't designed for being weapons in the first place!"

Leonardo gives a cool smile at the doctor, "Eh, I get that all the time. I'm just someone who's been given lots of time to fiddle with machines and spare parts lying in his home."

"I guess...

"Now then. I better be off, Mr. Tigre. If you have any more questions, or if your joints are starting to act up, come back and don't hesitate to tell me. I'll be in my quarters here in Module 1, unless my other patients start acting up as well. I'll send you my NNP (Neural Net Profile) to your PDA shortly."

"Well... I do have one question I'd like to ask." Leonardo sits back on the bed, a fist covering his worried face, "... it's about... was there... any mention from Ms. Chrisostomo of another escape pod, by any chance? You see, I was with a friend a while back... Milarosa Tigre, my, uh... adopted sister. I just hope---"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tigre." Dr. Garrus shortly interrupts him politely, "The Corsair brought only you, and there was not even a mention of anyone else alongside you where you were found. If you really want to know, I'm not the one whom you should ask."

"A... alright... thanks anyway..." Leonardo began, and continued to stare at blank space.

Dr. Garrus frowns at how he was unable to help his worry. All he could do for the time being was simply nod, then turn around and walked out the room, leaving the Zoner to himself.
