"Get your hands off of me, I told you I don't need any goddamn medical attention, I'm okay!" Alex grunted for the umpteenth time, half from the pain he was feeling and half from his constant squirming, as Fox and the other members of his team carried him over to the sick bay.
"Calm down, pal. We're just going to make sure of that okay." Fox spoke with the same calm response he had used for each time Alex had shouted, pissing Alex off even more.
Soon enough, the group found themselves reaching their destination as they navigated the metallic corridors of the Great Fox, coming to a large sliding door made of glass. Alex caught a glimpse of the room as his couriers approached the entrance to the sick bay. It resembled the small clinic room Alex had been in a while ago, back at the Kennedy Space Center, with the exception of the small humanoid frog and bronze metal robot standing in the center of the room, waiting for Alex to enter.
"Slippy, give us a hand with our friend here, help us set him down on the clinic table so R.O.B can perform a body scan." Fox asked as he carried Alex over to the clinic table that was located across the room.
"Sure thing, Fox" Slippy said, as Alex saw the frog approach him.
As soon as Alex saw that the frog was in range, He kicked his leg out, breaking the hold the blue fox had on it and almost hitting the small frog square in the head. Unfortunately for Alex, he had missed and the blue fox quickly regained its hold on his leg.
"Quite a feisty one, aren't we?" The blue fox spoke as it restrained Alex's leg with a firm grip.
"I'll show you feisty, just hope you don't let my leg go again." Alex threatened as the group of mercenaries laid him flat on the table, facing towards the ceiling, before Fox placed some restraint straps across Alex to prevent him from trying to get up from the table.
"Trust me pal, you're going to thank us after this." Fox said, as he later turned his attention to the bronze robot standing next to him.
"You ready R.O.B?" Fox asked the machine, apparently called Rob.
"Yes sir, commencing body scan." R.O.B spoke as a huge red laser protruded out from his head and landed on Alex's exo suit.
At that moment, Alex stood perfectly still. The laser passed over his body slow, its red light searching for anything across the exo suit that separated it from Alex's body. Alex found himself holding his breath as the laser soon began to retreat back to the bronze robots head.
"Scan complete, gathering data." The robot soon spoke as soon as the laser disappeared from everyone's sight.
Alex turned his head over to right; the four mercenaries looked back at him from a small distance, Fox had his arms crossed, his left hand rested under his chin. Alex then turned his attention back to the robot standing by his feet, the robot was beginning to show some sign of activity.
"Data has been gathered, now preparing results. Please wait a minute longer." The bronze colored machine spoke, Alex was beginning to get a little nervous.
"Results are ready. May I have your name, sir." The robot spoke directly to Alex.
Alex did not respond. He was not about to give out any of his personal information in front of anybody inside the room, even if what Fox had told him was true or not. He kept quiet, facing the metallic roof that stretched out above him.
"His name is Major Alexander Simmons, of the United States Marine Corps, whatever that means." The blue fox spoke suddenly, all of the heads in the room turned to face her, especially Alex.
"Thank you Ms. Krystal. The results of the body scan show that Major Alexander Simmons is suffering from a concussion, three broken ribs and a few minor injuries like cuts and bruises. My sensors also indicate that Major Alexander has some sort of exo suit over his entire body; it is probably the reason why he was able to survive the wreckage of his ship. Will there be anything else you need me to do, Fox?" R.O.B spoke as he finished giving off the results of Alex's body scan.
"Not at this moment R.O.B, you're free to go." Fox responded
"Then I'll see you on the bridge, captain." R.O.B replied as he left the group of five alone in the sick bay.
For a while, Alex did not say a word, Alex only looked dead at the blue fox that had given out his name while the blue fox stared right back at him. Fox noticed the two's standoff and decided that it would be best to try and ease of the tension that was beginning to rise in the clinic room.
"See that wasn't that bad right. Now we are able to properly tend to your wounds." Fox said to Alex in an attempt to ease things in the room.
Alex didn't respond to Fox's statement, in fact he didn't move at all.
"I'm going to unstrap you now okay, don't do anything stupid, or I'll strap you back up." Fox said as he approached Alex carefully.
Once Fox reached Alex, he slowly unstrapped him from the clinic table, and kept a close eye on him as he went back to his spot. Alex still didn't say anything even after Fox had unstrapped him from the table. He only sat up, keeping his eyes fixed on Krystal the entire time. Alex looked deeply into Krystal's eyes from behind the comfort of the metallic helmet that covered his face, as if they would be able to tell him how she knew his name, while Krystal looked at him.
"Are going to let us help you, Alex?" Krystal suddenly asked, breaking the silence that had fallen inside the room.
Alex glanced across the room, looking at the group of mercenaries in front of him; all of them had a face of sincerity that gave off a trust worthy feel around them, something that Alex saw as a reason to ease down his defenses. After all, none of them had done anything wrong to him. However, he did have few questions he needed answers to, first, before he could fully say he trusted Fox and his team.
"I suppose so, but before I let any of you help me, I have some questions that need answering first. First on is, how do you know my name?" Alex responded, as Krystal gave him a warm smile from his response.
