It wasn’t shifting out of character for her to snort. Knowing her second child though, there was no way in hell they would have… no, definitely not. “You removed a itty bitty implant from her brain stem after the Atlantis rescued her half-dead from her shuttle. That implant… nasty piece of work the Tal Shiar thought would be full of shits and giggles. I know… I was there when they put it in.” Multiple clues, bombs, whatever they would be Shara knew either now or later it would make for a really interesting conversation. Besides her and Micah were the elders on this ship and it was nice to have someone her age to converse with. They were in vastly different places in their lives than the young things who had just graduated the Academy or, in sone cases, just getting their next promotion. Shara and Ryley were done with promotions. They meant nothing, signified yes a long career but were not a marker of the person they were.

His eyebrows knitted together. With his eyes on her hand he continued to examine her injuries as the wheels in his head cycled through her words and his memories. “You’re Faye’s Mommy dearest?” He asked eventually as the information clicked into place.

Shara only barely managed to hide the wince as her gently manipulated her hand. “In the flesh.”

He looked up then. “Well Mother Calloway, you have three fractured metacarpal heads. Now while metacarpal fractures are fairly common, this type are relatively uncommon from accidental injury. Usually they result from a direct blow, crush injury, or projectile. Normally I’d say it was a fist fight, since during an altercation, a metacarpal head fracture can be sustained when the patient strikes someone or something with a closed fist.”

“Spounds about right.”

Gently he ran his finger tips along the bruising on her injured knuckles. “But…you don’t seem to have any other injuries I’d associate with a fight, and given the slight skin abrasions I’d say either this is the best living case of ‘you should see the other guy’ or…” he released her hand “…you went to town on a punch bag somewhere.”

Mirth touched her eyes. “The former sounds like a way better story than taking out all my frustrations on an inanimate object rather than a person. I know… disappointing. I liked the other story too.”

Calloway looked around and frowned before taking in Ryley. “Since you’re on your feet and looking bored as hell, can you do a gal a solid and patch me up? Then I can get back to scaring the kids, and then maybe later I can repay the favour and rescue you from here? It’s a tiny ship, not many places to go, but… I have my ways.”
