Re: Safehouse 17
The doc shook her head, and said "No, she's under a 'death sentence'. Nobody knows why she isn't already dead, she volunteered to participate in a limited human trial of a new medication, and she is literally the ONLY one of the volunteers who lived. Every other person who actually got the drug they were testing, died in less than 24 hours. And they can't get blood samples anymore to figure out why. So she works with us.And she's got an unknown life expectancy, so she tends to be a little weird about being sociable." She got out a tube of some sort of medication, laying it on a tray that held two large 'syringes' and several other items of high tech, and said "Okay, let me wash up and put on my gloves, and we can apply the locals so the skin goes numb, and then I can punch in your holo setup, then the shielding and comm sets. You'll probably feel like you got a root canal done when I am finished, but since it's all done with the local anesthetics, you can watch everything I do, even if it is in a mirror."
