Ar’Gorvalei: Can you please tell us what happened?
Commander Collins rubbed his neck as if embarrassed.
Collins: Well, I, uh...had fabricated a new rapier. I wanted to test it out in the gym and thought I, uh, almost might try an off-hand weapon? I know you both said no stress on the new tendons but...
Mason: And this is an exercise you do often? I mean do you have a history of using knives with a grip like this? \
The science officer's cheeks flushed crimson.
Collins:
I, uh, no...actually, this is my first time since my first major training sessions. At...the Academy.
Mason:
So the only things that have changed between training in the past and tonight is this blade and your recent injury?
Collins:
Correct, Doctor. Obviously I am mortified, but I don't think you have a treatment for that. Unless...you do? That would be lovely if you did.
Ar'Gorvalei: ::Shaking his head:: No, but if
you find one, please share it with me. I've had my own ... embarrassing experiences today.
Commander Collins’s
eyes were drawn to the wound on Ar’Gorvalei’s shoulder.
Collins: Are YOU okay, Mr. Ar'Gorvalei? What happened there? ::he said, pointing carefully with his free hand.::
Ar'Gorvalei: Commander Serinus and I were eating at a seafood taco restaurant when two intoxicated customers assaulted
a waitress. We intervened. One of them had a pocket knife, and I got careless.
oO And angry. Oo
Ar’Gorvalei
pushed the thought away for another time and turned his attention back to Commander Collins.
Mason: RESPONSE
Collins:
Cor blimey! I can wait, if need be. Cuts surely trump cramps, yes?
Ar'Gorvalei: ::Shaking head:: No need. Dr. Mason has already treated it. The rest will heal in time.
Mason: RESPONSE
Collins:
I am so sorry. But I do
have to ask... ::shrugs::
How were
the tacos?
Ar'Gorvalei:
Quite good, actually. I highly recommend them. I’ve
never had tacos before; it was a very pleasant experience.
Mason: RESPONSE
Ar’Gorvalei looked at the readings on the biobed and nodded.
Ar’Gorvalei: I recommend using a neural stimulator. We should be able to set it to stimulate the nerves in your hand to twitch open and drop the blade.
Collins/Mason: RESPONSE
