Much Better.

I lie here, covered in hand-made primitive bandages encompassing the semi numb parts of my body.

With bleary double vision, I can see the figure of Hoshi, and then another figure.

Is that Trip?

As I try to raise my head, I realise that my vision has deteriorated to blackness, and my imagination is swimming in a variety of colours.

What the hell happened?

As I attempt to speak, I see the grinning face of Trip clearing as he nears my 'bed'. "Hey Malcolm. How ya' doing?"

Darkness.

As I regain consciousness, I blink once, twice, and see my vision clearing. Clarity once again resumed, and this time, the beautiful vision that is Hoshi Sato came into view.

I sigh in contentment.

Much better.
