I hope you enjoy it !
A soft hum traveled through a well lit, well ventilated room. The walls were cast in a marble-like material. Holographic monitor's and terminals adorned one of the walls. Seats were cast off in different directions around the room, and there were different instruments that hung suspended in the air attached to a cord-like apparatus, ready to use.
The most important part of the room however, would be the bed-like structure extending from one of the walls, hovering in the air with what appeared to be an incubator attached to it. The force-field like incubator that hummed to life around the being inside was of different hues of purple's and blues with the occasional red.
Laying in the suspended medical incubator was a female human. Her long brown hair cascaded down the sides of her face, her eyes closed. Dressed in what would be the equivalent to human bandages and clothes, she was covered up. Her chest slowly rose and fell as she took in each breath, but she appeared to be in a state of coma.
"How are her vitals?" a male voice asked.
"Her vitals are good. Her breathing and blood pressure are both stable, and her flesh wounds were easily healed. " another answered.
" Good. What's the status on brain damage?" the first male asked again, looking at the woman suspended in the bed.
The other was silent for a moment as he pressed a few different hieroglyphic buttons on the terminal in front of him displaying what would be the equivalent to human charts and readings.
"Beyond flesh wounds and standard repairs, we don't quite have the proper understanding on how to deal with a human. We don't know their anatomy all too well, or how it specifically works." the male, presumably the doctor asked.
The other man was silent. The mandibles on his face moving slightly as his eyes were focused on the woman. He, as well as the doctor were both Elite's, or Sangheli's. A covenant race. The man in charge was Rha 'Mantakrea. He was the leader of the general populace, dealing more with the army battalion's. He would be what a General would be in human terms, but he also held status of a political leader as well. The doctor, well his name wasn't important.
" Sir, our best option would be to contact the humans and let them know about this woman. They would be able to take her and heal her properly. " the doctor suggested.
Rha sighed. " We cannot contact the humans, you know what is at risk. " he said.
" Then I don't know how much help we can be to her." the doctor said.
Rha stood there, his eyes scanning over the reports again and back to the woman who lay there. He watched as her chest rose and fell slowly. Walking over to the encased woman, his eyes never left her. Humans were an intriguing species. Rha could see how soft the woman's skin was and he wondered how a species so soft and almost seemingly fragile could be so fearsome and strong. Though, she was different, special. She survived what most humans couldn't. Mostly thanks to her suit, but her body was strong, reinforced.
" She's alive, and for now that's good enough ." Rha said turning away from her and heading towards the exit.
