The DoctorKaidan followed Sarah through the wards to a run down Medical Clinic. She slipped in the door and Kaidan followed her where he found himself staring down the barrel of a gun. The Quarian holding the gun seemed to be staring at him but he couldn't be sure.
"You okay Sarah?" She asked.
"Yeah. He's fine." Sarah said seeming much calmer than before.
The Quarian put her pistol away and held out her hand.
"Sorry about that. Usually when she comes running in, she brings a bunch of… undesirables."
"I take it your Zrin?" Kaidan asked.
"Yeah. And let's see who you are…" She said scanning him with her omnitool.
"Let's see. Captain Kaidan Alenko. Spectre, Captain of the Normandy. I see you are quite the important person." She said as a moan came from another room.
She sighed and punched in a command on her Omni tool. Another Quarian stepped out of a back room and walked into the room with the moaning.
"Hey Doc." Sarah said as it walked by.
"Doc? I thought you were the doctor?" Kaidan asked.
"I am. That's Doc. It's a Geth that lives in my suit. Sometimes I need an extra pair of hands, so Sarah designed a Platform for it and we put a Enviro Suit over it. It knows just as much about Medical Practice as I do." Zrin said.
"So the Geth is a Doctor?" Kaidan asked.
"Not officially. Neither am I. Not old enough to get a medical license." Zrin said with a shrug.
"Wait, how old are you?" Kaidan asked.
"Seventeen. Are you surprised? Most of the Blue Suns were to when I killed about two dozen of them. They don't enter my clinic unless they have gravely injured guys." She said confidently.
"Hey Zrin. Which table do you want to do this on?" Sarah asked.
"Pick one away from everyone else. I'm going to need a few extra hands for this. Speaking of which, Captain would you mind helping us out?" Zrin asked.
"With what exactly?" Kaidan asked.
"Attaching Sarah's arm. After her last surgery I need someone to counter her Biotics. That wasn't fun." She said.
"Sure. Just don't expect me to use a scalpel." Kaidan said as he followed her into the next room.
There were nearly a dozen hospital beds with three being occupied. Doc was replacing an IV bag for a Turian who looked like he had been shot in the side.
"Looks like you aren't very busy." Kaidan observed.
"Yeah. The Blue Suns clamped down on the small gangs down here. It's been quiet for a month or so." Zrin said as she found Sarah cleaning her prosthetic arm.
"Make sure that the joint is sanitized. I don't want you to get an infection and have to cut you open in a week." Zrin said.
"Yeah. I know. How much longer do I have to wear this?" She asked pointing to her eyepatch.
"A week at most. Now Captain can you do something to Counter her biotics? Just keep her from throwing me around?" Zrin asked.
"Yeah. How long do you need me to maintain it?" Kaidan asked.
"The actual surgery should only take me ten minutes. It's just the reason I need your help is that I can't give her Anastasia is I need to see if the arm connects to the nerves. It's all pointless if they don't." Zrin said.
"It's fine. I'll do whatever you need. How long until we start?" Kaidan asked.
"Done." Sarah said handing her arm to Zrin.
"Right now. Doc we need you over here." Zrin said.
The Geth came over and strapped Sarah to the table while Zrin lined up the arm.
"Alright Sarah. I need you to bite down on this as hard as you can." Zrin said putting a leather strap in her mouth.
"Jus don tak to lon." Sarah said biting down.
Zrin grabbed her scalpel and hesitated only a second before she started cutting. Sarah gave out muted screams while Zrin was operating. When her Biotics began to activate Kaidan used his own to keep her from giving off any excess energy.
"It's okay Sarah. I'm connecting the nerves now. In 3, 2, 1!" Zrin yelled and Sarah gave a piercing scream.
Then she her eyes glazed over and head lolled to the side. Kaidan began to panic but Zrin held up a hand.
"She just passed out from pain and shock. But it worked. See?" Zrin asked motioning to the fingers of Sarah's arm as they twitched.
"That's a relief. I think her Biotics are calm now to." Kaidan said releasing his biotic barrier.
"Now I just have to apply some Medi Gel and she should be fine in about an hour. Now, Captain why did you come down here?" Zrin asked.
"Saw through me just like that did ya? I came down to try and recruit you to the Normandy. Our old Medical Officer was forced into retirement a few months ago. We haven't found anyone who could replace her until now." Kaidan said.
"You really are very direct aren't you? Well... I suppose I could join your crew. What about her and him?" She said pointing to Doc and Sarah.
"Sarah said she would if you and someone named Krunz did. And Doc would be welcome of course." Kaidan said.
"You're not to picky about what species your crew is are you?" Zrin asked.
"I was under the command of someone who was in a relationship with Tali'Zorah. I don't care what you are as long as you can do your job. Everyone is treated equally on the Nomandy. We've had Krogan, Quarians, Geth, Turians, Asari, Drell, Salarians even a Prothean among our crew." Kaidan said.
"Hmm. As long as no one tries to kill me in my sleep, it'll be better than this place. Also you may want to prepare for Krunz. He has a bit of a temper." Zrin said.
"Krogan?" Kaidan asked.
"Krogan.
