"And how are we feeling today?" A nurse pulled the curtains from the window
and the morning sun landed Priss in the eyes, but she merely blinked it away.
The nurse now walked over to the woman's bed. "I wish you would eat better?"
she took the empty water bottle. "But at least you're thirsty." Priss didn't
move.
The door opend whit a soft creek. "Good morning, oh hello Nurse..." the
doctor took a moment to examine the nurse nametag only having been here a
week himself. "...Jackson."
"Good morning Doctor..." The nurse said polite smiling. "She is not eating
that well you know." she then followed whit concern in her voice.
The doctor nodded looking at his chart. "I know..." he picked his little
flashlight from his chest pocket and flicked it in front of both of Priss
eyes. "She is still responsive, and the scan we took yesterday still show no
change or evidence of any physical damage."
"She could have been out in that dessert for day's." The nurse said
shuddering slightly. Doctor Ivan Ranich turned slightly. "Dessert? Oh yes she
was found in the desert... it was about 3 week's before I got here so I
don't know much about her condition when she was brought in."
"It's a miracle she survived." The nurse said, looking over at the woman
staring out the window.
"Unresponsive to physical or mental stimuli, however she seem to drink allot,
even if her eat minimal." The doctor noted. "If she don't start eating soon
we are going to have to feed her intravenously.
Nurse Jackson who had been working at the hospital for many years and was
well respected to make diagnoses on experience alone nodded slowly. "It might
be some form of chock? Either from the exposure from the sun or... from the
reason she happened to be out there... a woman don't usually end up in the middle
of a dessert naked and alone on her own whit out help."
"Yes, but until she become responsive..." The doctor stopped himself looking
at the folder. "She used to sing?"
"Oh it was more of a humming really, but some on the staff claim to have
heard her sing something Whit words." The nurse said adjusting Priss
pillow.
The doctor frown his big brow. "Why is this NOT at the top of her file it's
very important to know of any form of stimulation and response." Nurse
Jackson nodded carefully. "I'm sure it's a simple mistake."
Grabbing the base oh his nose hie sighed, he had been a field doctor
transported to Japan to help whit the Boomer catastrophe that happened there
recently and it seem that people have forgotten that physical wounds are just
part of treating a patient. "If anyone had take time to figure out what she
was humming or singing, it might have helped them figure out who she was?"
"It was only the first few day's and she was fighting to live at the time."
The nurse said slightly embarrassed that she didn't think of that at the time.

Nene looked around of the temporary HQ of the new AD police, it felt empty,
allot of people had decided not to return especially in the information
department other did not come back because they where no longer able or
alive.
Partly she felt like she had been degraded from super hero to secretary,
even if it was only partly true, there would be a new hard-suit for her
eventualy but sence Nigel had no workshop he could not work on them.
Linna was working day and night trying to help salvage what was left of the
company she worked at, Silvia was the only one taking it easy resting.
And Priss... poor Priss, Nene pushed back a tear she could not bare herself
to think that maybe Priss was dead, it took then over a week to find what
was left of her hard-suit. Now matter where Priss had gone she could
not have survived for that long if she didn't find help.
"To hell whit this all." Nene got snapped back to reality by Leon's gruff
voice as something out in the corridor behind her fell over. "I don't care
that we get degraded in to this hellhole of a station but I NEED a working
coffee machine!"
"Easy Leon... or you might hurt yourself." Daily tried his best to keep a
calm voice but even he was growing tired of Leon's mood lately. "Oh shot up."
Leon just responded walking in to the makeshift Information department. "What
you got?"
Nene pushed back herself, He was trying to act as if noting was wrong as if
he could handle what happened to Priss, it was obvious he was a few steps from
loosing it completely.
Her console sprung to life and again she was back in to ADP. "Nene Romanova
ADP... You have a boomer acting strange over at he old ADP Tower?"
Leon got his cup of coffee and just as his partner was bout to give a remark
at his beautiful handling of the situation Leon snapped back at him. "Daily
just back off... I'm not in the mood for your smart mouthing today."
"LEON GET YOU ASS IN HERE!" Nicholas Roland called out from inside his like
everything ells makeshift office.
Leon cursed under his breath, he was tired irritated and frustrated... not in
the right mood to get yelled at.

Linna spun around in the chair looking out the window of Megalocity still over
run whit the Woomer remains of the plague, funny really Boomers where actually
the one's cleaning up after their rouge comrades... but it would probably be
a long time until anyone trusted a boomer again.
Her new office was also a result of the boomer plague they where now underhanded
and whit her resent results was quickly given a new position in management.
Much to get own surprise and delight as she realized that the creep that had
harassed her just as she started was acutely reporting to her now, a slightly
funny turn of events.
But the victory was not only bitter sweat it was outright painful, Priss seemed
to have been lost and yet she could just as Nene not bring herself to say she
was dead. If they had found a body if Priss had not left the hard-suit then she
could have believed it.
But no matter what happened Priss was not around... and if.
Should she not have contacted them?
Linna brushed a tear out of her eye, there was no reason to cry about it now and
whit out her hard-suit she could not do anything about it at any case.
and the morning sun landed Priss in the eyes, but she merely blinked it away.
