Patient: "Nina"
Condition: Serious and guarded.
Dr. Holliday stopped to check on his patient. While he was there, she finally woke-up, confused and disoriented but still heavily sedated. She treated him at first with hostility. It was evident that wherever this happened or whoever did this to her was the last place and person or persons she remembered. He tried to convince her of who he was and where she was, that she was safe. Finally, he managed to tell her something that only Dr. Holliday would know, an event that happened several weeks before.
"I do believe, Young Lady, that you rescued some slaves and sought there repatriation in Baffin. You will be happy to know that they were treated and repatriated around Sirius per their request. I also agree with you to avoid Planet Jericho, something that we do out of respect."
He tried to find out more. Who did this and where? Anyone that he could contact as to her whereabouts? She tried but couldn't.....or wouldn't. In either case, he didn't push. Rather, he comforted her, telling how she had arrived, "You arrived here aboard the X-shuttle Corelia. How you got from wherever you were to that I don't know." He sighs, "I'll be honest, how you survived the trip here I don't know." He sighs again, "I had to defib you upon your arrival."
Her only response was a tear falling down her cheek, presumably realizing how close to death's door she was.
He did some scans to check her internal healing which was going well, well enough to giver her that sip of water she so wanted. After some more soft talk and re-assurance, she again nodded off as expected. As he left, he instructed the sitting nurse to give only small sips of water and to not allow her to move her right arm much and of course, call if he needed anything.
