The many years of studying human medicine as he impatiently watched their slow overall technology advances had frustrated him. There were many things Earthlings didn’t know about their own bodies, and their understanding of the other creatures they shared their planet with was severely lacking. Instead of uniting under the same government, sharing research, resources, and technology, they fought with each other, often to the death.

It was laughable, they believed landing on their own moon was still an accomplishment after so many years. While Earthlings recently developed a dream to send a colony to Mars, a planet nearby in their own solar system, Vesuv believed it would take hundreds of years before that was accomplished. Their technology was too unfocused, spending more money on the next entertainment discovery instead of something useful. It was that failure that had prepared him for what he needed to do to save Emerald.

Vesuv shimmered onto the pad as a substantial splash sounded from Emerald landing in the healing tank. He rushed over to the green fluid container and activated its emergency systems. The dinging sounds of another arriving on the pad told him one of his brothers just arrived. Secretly, he hoped it was Chryso because he didn’t know how he would be able to deal with Maw at the moment.

“What can I do, brother?” Chryso begged, his voice strained.

Vesuv studied her readings. They were still not stable, yet the pain in his chest hadn’t resided, which meant she was still alive. The healing solution wasn’t as productive as he hoped.

He glanced at the tank, and the realization hit him.

“I need you to jump into the healing tank and strip off her clothes. Her clothing is preventing the solution from working.”

“But… she told me never to touch her again,” Chryso said, face scrunched in confusion.

“I don’t believe she can have an opinion if she dead, Chryso,” Vesuv hissed. “I believe she would be grateful you saved her.”

Chryso let out a frustrated sigh and dropped his disguise before jumping into the healing pool. Vesuv tapped the control panel and placed the display in 3D projection mode so he could watch her vitals as Chryso worked, making any adjustments needed.

Chryso dove below the surface and gripped her pajama bottoms, yanking them down with her underwear. He used his talons and sliced her shirt off, leaving her body completely bare. Surfacing, he threw the clothing out of the tank, where they landed haphazardly on the floor with a loud splash.

Her vitals slowly stabilized as the solution began to work.

“I don’t like her coloring, Vesuv,” Chryso said, staring at Emerald’s nude form. “Her lips shouldn’t be blue, almost purple, and her skin is far too pale.”

Vesuv scanned the temperature of the tank. It was far lower than what humans believed was comfortable, but he couldn’t increase the temperature of the tank. The healing solution worked better at the colder levels.

“Chryso, I need you to inject her with your paralyzing venom to slow down her heart and keep her unconscious while I drop the temperature of the pool.
