“Give me the readings!”

“Blood pressure nonexistent, heart rate twelve, superficial wounds to the face and arms.”

“Was she conscious?”

“Not when we arrived.”

“Never seen clothes like this. They’ve got to go— bag and tag them. Give me an injector with cocamine, ten units.”

“Doctor, when she’s awake we must question her.”

“If she wakes up. She’s not doing much breathing, could be brain damage. Better order a model done.”

“But Doctor, she’s not from here and poses a security risk.”

“Cocamine’s working, blood pressure to two and rising. Heart’s at eighteen.”

“Have you matched the blood type?”

“Alien in origin, Doctor, we have the computer running a diagnostic now.”

“Prepare oxygen ventilation. If she rouses, it’ll help.”

“Really Doctor, I must insist that I speak with her the moment she’s conscious.”

“Actually, officer, if that happens, first we’ll do a medical history so we know how to keep her alive. If, by the Lord’s will, she pulls through, you can ask her anything you want.”

“Doctor, computer matches the blood to one of four worlds: Kavis Alpha, Kaelon II, Cor Caroli V, and Lysia.”

“Lysia! Have the computer scan the sample and match against our blood.”

“Doctor, what’s wrong?”

“Officer, Lysia had an outbreak of Vegan choriomeningitis only a year ago. If the disease is in her blood there could be an outbreak.”

“Heart rate and respiration are reaching safety norms.”

“Ready to scan for the brain model.”

“Computer analysis confirms the disease is in her blood, Doctor.”

“Grife. Hold on the model. Okay, we’re now going to quarantine protocol one. Officer, whoever was there when she wandered through that doorway has to be brought to this installation—now!”

“There’s a cure for this chorio . . . whatever, right?”

“Known Federation treatments do not work on our systems. If there’s an outbreak, we’re going to have a lot of dead Troyians before we can find a cure.”
