Gustav had just woken up with the sight of a tall red haired figure
standing over him taking notes on his condition and Kroitzer guessed
waiting for him to awake.
It had been a couple of days since the accident, the doctor on duty at
the time had informed Gustav about what had happened when he was lucid
enough to comprehend the situation at first he found it hard to take
as his hands were his livelihood but then he was told that he would be
able to be fitted with a cybernetic prosthesis that would as well if
not better than his original arm after some rehabilitation, now the
surgeon was here to find out all he needed to know before the
operation.
"Ah Lieutenant. You're awake. How are you feeling?" the doctor asked
but before Gustav could answer anything, he and the doctor glanced
towards the door as it slid open. "Commander." the doctor said turning
to face the newcomer.
" Doctor Rice...good morning." Rangi replied then looking at Gustav
greeted him in a similar way but echoed Rice's question " How are you
today?"
"Hanging in there… but with only one arm hanging isn't that easy"
Gustav said trying to keep a sense of humour going.
"Quite" Rangi murmured in response and gave him a stock
'you're-doing-very-well-and-its-all-going-to-be-fine' expression. "
May I?" she asked holding out her hand for the medpadd. Rice handed it
to her and she began to read the notes. " You have one of out most
skilled surgeons here." she said to Gustav and raised her head to look
at him as she added " Doctor Alexander Rice...thank you." she hand the
medpadd back.
Looking back at Dr Rice Gustav said "I'd shake your hand but…" which
made the Dr smile and let out a slight titter before becoming more
serious again.
"Now that you're stable..." he began "...we should think of surgery. "
He cleared his throat as though about to begin a lecture. "Recently a
new and exciting development has been explored with some promising
results. I hope you will agree to taking part in this breakthrough."
He smiled confidently at Gustav.
"I'm interested… what's this exciting development about?" he asked.
" Hhhmmm… well... to keep things simple... standard nano technology
has provided good results but we have discovered a new technique that
I believe will benefit you.
The process involves..."
Gustav cut the Dr off before he could continue any further "I'm sorry
doctor but it turns out that I won't be able to participate in your
new treatment".
"Not participate!?" Rice exclaimed "Why not?"
Rangi raised a hand when Rice flashed a glance at her then looking at
Gustav said: "Lieutenant...although the treatment is new, it's
perfectly safe. Please don't think that we would use you as a 'test'
case." He looked form one to the other.
"Well my body rejects any know form of nano tech" Gustav explained to
Dr Rice and to Rangi.
"Does it?" Rice asked peering at Gustav suspiciously.
"It does?" Rangi asked barely hiding her amazement. "Why?"
