He put his silverware down and looked at Jaden, "Listen, you need not apologize. If I didn't think I could help you, if I needed more time to prepare, I would have told you so. I try to keep a good staff on hand for those sudden arrivals. You were just lucky that I was here." He then smiled as if to say it was all right and again picked up his fork.

"I haven't heard much back on the terraforming angle," answered Doc. "Sadly, my knowledge of that kind of science is limited. My scientist on Med.Force.One only knows of the gasses being used on cold planets such as California Minor and Planet Harris."
He took a bite of his omelet before finishing, "I'll have to dig more on that so I'll need time for that matter."

As he ate, the beeper on his datapad went off. He answered it.
"I found the music you were looking for. What shall I do with it?"
Doc smiled to Jaden before replying, "Excellent! Just leave it in my inbox."

He then looked at Jaden, "Well, Senorita, it seems your music has been found. When you are finished, we can retreat to my piano again if you like?"

"... I'd like that, Senor." She smiled to Doc, a warm feeling flowing through her heart and making her chest feel lighter. Figuring nothing else interesting to say for the moment, she looked back to her food and simply continued eating.

Sitting comfortably in a cafe, eating a helping of wonderful shawarma rice and drinking lovely Iced Curacao Tea with Doc Holliday on the other side of the coffee table, she sighed quietly to herself, happy with how the morning seemed to beam softly on both him and herself. It was a calming experience, almost surreal to be frank, and while the silence during the meal felt disturbing at first, she soon found that silence too had its own golden joys.

She'd sometimes look back at Doc, stare at him for a bit and observe how he'd deftly bring his food to his mouth, how he'd quietly sip his morning coffee as the steaming mist rose up his nose, and she'd almost giggle when she saw the brown liquid linger on his gentle mustache. Doc in turn would also stare at her, watching how her long, flowing hair rolled down her right shoulder, how her green eyes shone the iced tea back to him, and he'd smile to himself when he'd hear her hum her delight on how great the food tasted. Only once did their gazes meet, but they enjoyed the exchange nonetheless as they silently agreed to each other how nice the start of the morning was.

When they finally finished eating, Doc stood up first and offered a gentlemanly arm for her to hold as they head back. She smiled back, accepting the sweet gesture as she stood up from her chair, and with a quick nod they paced comfortably back to his living quarters. As they exited the cafe, something came over Jaden that made her gently pull Doc close to her. For a brief moment, she hugged the arm that supported her, closing her eyes and sighing contently to herself, as if quietly telling Doc she was very glad to have met him... and indeed she meant it.

While walking through a hallway about two thirds the way back, Jaden saw in the distance that same Klingon she met earlier, coincidentally talking to one of those people who stared at the two as they were heading to the Sick Bay. Anxiety slowly going through her system, without looking at Doc she whispered to him, "Senor... You see that Klingon soldato over there? I was meaning to ask you about him later.

"Before I arrived at your quarters earlier, I passed by him and recognized him as one of the bouncers back in the Club last night. Seems he noticed us walk to the swimming pool, and I fear he has the most suspicions about our... ehr... relationship. What do you think we should do?"

"He wasn't looking at us, Senorita," he began to explain as they walked, "he was more looking at you. You see, his kind can't return home and their numbers are a percentage few in Sirius. In his eyes, you're a dignitary under close escort by me but he has a roving eye." He then smirked, "and even if he did suspect something, he's bound by his honor to me. I know him well AND their mating rituals, something you would rather not be a part of."

Shasta was busy as usual, trade ships coming and going, staff going about it's business and Popes doing their work. While not as big a trade port as most, Pineal Amulets were a prized commodity. Many nodded and greeted Doc, even stopping him for a quick word but no suspicion was raised. In fact, Doc used the busy atmosphere to escort Jaden to his quarters where he entered a secure door code. Inside, he took a seat on his piano bench as he spread the sheet music before him, putting on his glasses before he started reading it.

"Give me a minute," he said, as he played the first few bars in practice. "OK, I think I've got it." He then started playing. Much to his delight, he heard Jaden start to sing. He smiled quickly at her before returning to the music. It was beautiful and Doc lost himself in the piece, "As The Deer."

She sang happily, her hands clutched together before holding them outward. Gradually, she got "lighter at heart," her face going more straight with her eyes closed. By song's end, Doc could see her eyes getting damp. Sensing something wrong, he stopped and stood up, "Jaden, that was beautiful."
He took concern over her, keeping a tissue in hand if she needed it.

"Sniff... In... indeed, it was beautiful, Senor."

Jaden lowered her head and frowned as she said, "That song... was the first, and most frequent one I ever sang with my second lover, Penchant. Like you, Senor, he used to play the piano, along with several other instruments... In our spare time when we weren't bounty hunting, we'd sometimes waste the night away, singing songs of praise and gratitude to each other... Though it was Papito who taught me how to sing, it was Penchant who truly made me love the art..."

A tear finally gave way down her cheek as she continued, "... I'm sorry. From that point, I admit it was painful at first to sing that song again. The last since I sang it, it was just a week before I saw my lover get consumed by the blast. I long gave up hope to have ever found another person to sing 'As The Deer' for again."

She then raised her head up to the ceiling, her gaze appearing as if she was gratefully staring into the heavens, smiling as she said half to herself, "... But now I've found someone who could play the piano for me again. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it possible, but I finally found someone..."

She turned to look at Doc and wiped the stray tears in her eyes. "Senor... You've given me more than I could ever hope for just now. You've proven to me that you never lose the memories of the ones you love, even if you see them die before your eyes, for the memories will always be in our hearts forever. You've given me... hope. Hope that I could move on from my past, and look towards the brighter future."

Before Doc realized it, Jaden lightly tackled him and gave him a great, big hug, burying her face into his chest as she sobbed happily in a muffled voice, "Gracias, Senor. Muchas gracias... I'm so happy to have met you, Senor Holliday... Muchas gracias."

Doc could only gently place his arms around her. What else was he to do, really? He than gave her a gentle pat on the back, smiled a bit and softly reassured, "It's my pleasure, Senorita." Another pat, "All is good."
After she finally released him, he just stood before her for a moment, "Listen, we could sit in here all day while I play music but I do believe I need to get your medical issues figured out so get yourself together and we'll head down to the medical center."

He gave her a few minutes to pull herself together as he got a few things of his put together. They then made the walk to the medical center. It was a good sized center with the normal quick visits for a minor injury or light cold being treated. The lab only received occasional use and it along with the surgical ward was all theirs as needed. He motioned Jaden to one of the labs where they sat at a table.

"I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions," Doc explained. "Some of them may seem stupid to you but they are part of the process. Please, answer them to the best of your ability."

He poured two glasses of seltzer water, handing one to Jaden, "It's much easier to interview with a damp palate."

The questions were common and personal in a female nature.
Do you still have menstrual cycles?
If so, when was your last one?
If so, how heavy was it?
Are the Corsair flightsuits protected against radiated environments?
Is YOUR flight suit protected for radiated environments?
How much time on average do you spend in a radiated environment?
Is YOUR ship shielded/armored against radiation?

Doc asked these questions one at a time, giving her ample time to think and answer between each. He then got to his next question.
"I need you to explain to me, in detail, your Rite on Crete. You know, when you were more or less forced to give up your fertility. Was it surgical? Was it radiational? I have heard that the Elders don't care how you do it, so long as a Corsair woman gives up her right to bear children."
He leaned gently yet re-assuringly forward, "It may be painful but I need to know everything."
He then turned on his datapad to record her answers.

Mr.Fabulous · 12-16-2013, 02:55 AM,

Taking several moments to collect herself, Jaden sighed deep. When she felt ready to answer Doc's questions, she started off, "I... haven't had a menstrual cycle ever since my Rite. It's been awhile since then... I think I was around fifteen years old then? Sixteen? I don't remember... Actually, I don't even remember my birthday, since I haven't been celebrating it ever since Penchant passed away, so I can't say how long ago that was. I think my cycle at the time was normal, not heavy or anything.

"Corsair flight suits are normally quite radiation-resistant, Senor. Not only flight suits, but their ship armor, shields and overall technology are engineered to repel more radiation than your regular House tech. They have to be, on account of how radiation is one of the Empirio's most common hazards. But even without the protection, Corsairs normally can take a lot more rads than even some Zoner clans in a pinch, due to generations of Natural Selection from the Rite."

She took a sigh before continuing, "... As for my flight suit and ship, I try to make them as close to, or exactly as comparable to Corsair-make as possible. Until I got my neutral rep among my people, my ship and flight suit were just as protective as ordinary House tech. Since my exile, I don't frequent radioactive environments all that much, unless I smuggle food shipments back to Crete, which I do at least once a week."

She glanced around a bit as she said, "Eh... The Rite itself wasn't much of a secret, but it's just as emotionally scarring if you're not strong enough for it. Teenagers who've come of age are given by their relatives for the Rite a disposable light fighter to use, stripped of any protection, even basic armor and shielding, while takers are only allowed cheap flight suits to wear. Any stripped Light Fighter would do, but the most commonly used were refurbished CSV's and Starfleas. What we had to do was quite simple: launch into space, head to the Malvada Cloud in Omicron Gamma, mine out at least one artifact among the asteroids, then head back to our familias. Technically, the Rite could be done at any time after you've come of age, which was fifteen years old, but traditionally it's organized and held on the month that coincides with the historical capturing of the Schiller centuries ago. The Elders don't really force us to take the Rite, but you won't be registered as a proper citizen, much less a consenting adult, if you haven't completed your Rite.

"... But what really made the Rite so infamous was the cloud's ever-present dangers." Her eyes narrowed darkly at Docs as she said her next words in an ominous tone, "The asteroids themselves were sharp, fast, and treacherous, and each one spewed high amounts of radiation. The bigger the rocks, the more radiation they gave off, which, along with the thick gases there, scrambled scanner and sensor ranges greatly. You could actually feel yourself getting weaker the more you went closer to some of the larger rocks. And don't get me started on when you had the misfortune to run across a marauding BHG patrol, or Madre-forbid, the so-called Great Spirits you and I call the Nomads... I actually came across one of them in my Rite, forcing me on a long cat-and-mouse chase for the better part of half an hour."

Then she looked away with a feared look as she continued her tale, "But aside from the occasional ion burst, the cloud was almost always silent... eerily silent, Senor. Every moment you were there, you could swear something would suddenly dart from the edge of your view. And since our ships were very unprotected, we had to contend with all the random bullet-speed asteroids passing over our heads that could rip our ship apart in seconds, the radiation bombarding us every second we lingered, and also any hostile patrols we may come across... all the while trying to find our artifact. I'm glad I only stayed less than a day in that hellhole to find one, but it's common practice for takers to bring along supplies to last a few days, if not a week...

"... I hear nine out of ten teenagers that come in, don't make it out the cloud, while a third of those that do survive become Ghosts..."

Jaden let out another sigh before turning to Doc. "So... Are these details enough for you, Senor Holliday? It was radiational that usually turned survivors into Ghosts."

Doc listened carefully as she spoke, trying to understand it all. For the most part, it was very basic. From what he heard, any reproductive abilities she once had were lost to severe radiation exposure. Between the Corsair rite and the Outcasts cardamine, it was obvious why the Hispania population was so low. He also had to wonder, what other bodily damage did it do? A full scan would be the only answer.

As they spoke, her blood work came back. For all intensive purposes, they were normal. Doc thought a moment, collecting in his thoughts.

"You probably already know my preliminary diagnosis but it's pretty obvious that sever radiation exposure has all but destroyed your ability to reproduce. However, I would need a full and detailed bio scan to get a full extent of the damage. Ovaries, uterus, philopian tubes, everything. It'll also give me a chance to see if that exposure did anything else to you."

He helped her from her chair and escorted her to a lab room with a flat bed device with a passing bar overhead. He explained the device to her.
"As far as I know, there are only a few of these in Sirius. Each of my Med Force ships has one and Canaria Medical has one as do we have this one. Initially, it was built to re-fabricate the skin of burn victims, using there natural skin cells to remove the burns, blister and such from fire and radiation. Over time, I've been able to program it to do much more to include deep tissue scans."

He then looked into her eyes, "I want to be sure of my findings before I proceed. I have a hunch but I want to be sure and I damn sure don't want to perform unnecessary surgery."
He sighed, "I'll need you to lay naked on the scanning bed. No one else is around so you'll have privacy. I'll lay a thin sheet over you once you're laying down since this is only a deep scan."

He knew her body was a turn on for him so he did his best to keep professional....and he was doing well for the moment. He began to turn away as he spoke, "I'll give you a few minutes privacy before we get started."

Mr.Fabulous · 12-16-2013, 12:00 PM,

Listening to Doc's explanation of the device, it made her wonder why the Empirio didn't commission more of these devices for their hospitals and medical bays. Maybe they were quite expensive? Who knows... It looked like an ordinary flat hospital bed with a white mattress, with a Bioscanner overhead which connected to somewhere beneath the bed itself. As Doc continued talking about her diagnosis, Jaden took out her left hand's glove and put her hand on the sheets: it felt a little cold despite the room's lukewarm temperature, but it was tolerable.

When Doc (painfully) mentioned she had to take off her clothes and lie on the bed, it made her raise her eyebrow for a moment, but it really didn't worry her too much. After all, he was her doctor (and as of last night, her lover), so she wasn't at all disturbed by it.

But when she saw Doc suddenly turn around to give her some privacy, that's when the awkwardness of the circumstance really hit her home. She quickly realized he was trying to keep himself as professional as he could for the operation. Perhaps he didn't want to so easily lust all over his patient and soil the cleanliness of the medical bay. Perhaps he still had conflicting dilemmas between his married life and their dirty little secret.

In those respects, Jaden too began to feel a little reluctant to take her clothes off. Well... maybe on the latter problem, but the former possibility kinda turned her on, to be honest. Just picturing him, lusting impatiently over her supple, sensitive body, slowly approaching her with deep, labored breaths, unfastening his fly and letting his pride hoist itself gloriously to the heavens. He would reach out to her, and caress her gentle breasts with both hands while his tongue busied itself on her-- HEY!!! NO! Stop wet-dreaming yourself hermana, Jaden snarled quietly to herself. Indeed, while being left in a sealed lab room with a comfy flat bed in its center screamed of a porn-scene waiting to happen, now was not the time for her to listen to her primal conscience. Medicine was serious business after all.

... Right?

"Uhm... Alright, Senor. Gracias for turning around for me, I guess, but I have to admit you make me feel awkward with your back turned towards me. You've already tasted my lovely package, so I figured you don't have to act all shy around me anymore, do you?" She giggled as she unzipped herself out the rest of her flight suit, catching the garment as it fell to the floor and neatly folded the pieces together.

After depositing the clothes to the side, she slowly shuffled her naked form onto the cool bed and relaxed herself straight, initially lying face-up to the ceiling. "Alright, Senor. I'm on the bed now. I guess you can now continue further your... tests on me, si?" She laughed as she jokingly whispered, "Don't worry, Senor... I'm used to having medical practitioners give me the rough treatment, heheheh..."

Doc could only snicker and found himself quietly laughing as he turned to her, "Well, Senorita, I don't doubt that considering what I've heard about of some Hispania medical staff." He did scan her with his eyes, admiring her beauty but again, he started into his silent laughter as he walked over to put a sheet over her and eventually to the control module where he collected himself.

"OK, Jaden, just relax," as the system powered up, "the overhead bar will pass over a bunch of times, making stops for the deep tissue and critical areas. I'll kind of let you know what's going on as I watch my screens."

The bar made a pass from head to toe and back at a fair rate of speed before returning to just above her head. A blue light emitted from the scanner bar that horizontally crossed her body as it passed.
"Do close your eyes when it passes or you will see nothing but white for a good many minutes," he instructed.
It passed her head to her neck, "Well your sinuses are nice and clear," he joked.
It began a slow pass over her torso and down her chest cavity as it stopped numerous times scanning the heart and lungs. Doc could see the work done by someone long before him which explained the scars on her shoulders.
"Nothing of concern there," he said, "a few minor spots on your lungs from I guess either smoking as a kid or something but nothing damming, possibly radiation but still, nothing of concern." He paused a moment and then smiled around the console to her, "....and your heart is just fine too!"

The bar passed down to her abdominal area. Again, it made numerous stops. All of her vital organs were in good shape. Then he got to where he wanted to be, her ovaries. He watched as the bar stopped over them. It was as he figured, the radiation exposure years ago basically killed them. The bar passed lower as it then scanned the cervix and other areas. They showed to be fine. It was just as Doc suspected, dead ovaries from heavy radiational exposure.

After a few more passes, a few more deep scans, the bar returned to it's starting position. He then went over to the bedside and sat to explain things to her.
"Jaden, it's just as I suspected. Your ovaries were long ago destroyed by radiation. They are delicate which is why we doctors always cover reproductive parts with a lead shield during X-rays. They don't release eggs so you don't ovulate. I suspected but wanted to be sure."

He could see the water forming in her eyes, "But fear not just yet, I do have a couple of options."

[MFE]Med Force One | Tales of Recovery|Med Force Enterprises

Mr.Fabulous · 12-20-2013, 01:28 AM,

Her ovaries... killed off...?

Jaden moved a hand to the areas where her ovaries ought to be in a vain attempt to comfort them. A woman's ovaries were a critical part of their reproductive health, the things that contained only set number of ovums for conception from the time they were born. They were a few of the delicate parts of a woman's body, and were to be treated with utmost respect for good reasons... This one being one of them.

She moved her hands back to cover her face as tears began to swell in her eyes. While the uterus lining might still be intact to facilitate artificial insemination, to tell a woman her ovaries were killed off was like saying all hopes of her of passing on her legacy were forever lost from her. It's long known that, should that pair of important organs ever be compromised, the woman was, for all intents and purposes, forever unable to conceive her children. "Well... at least... I have the option to... work as a lucrative call-girl, on account that... that I don't have to... worry about accidents, si?" She tried to laugh at her own joke, but the heaviness of the news proved just too grim for even humor to penetrate as tears slowly escaped through her fingers and ran down her cheek.

She came to Doc for hope to conceive, but hearing him say that was...

... Wait.

"Options?" She wiped away the tears and turned her head to Doc as she said, "What do you mean, Senor? You say there's still a chance for you to salvage my eggs, or something?"
