“As would anyone,” Boja said with a slight smile as she grabbed a hypo and showed it to him. “I’m going to give you a dose of bicaridine before I start healing the fractures. It should make it less painful because I’ll have to move your fingers. You’ll have a follow-up dose later and we’ll see how it goes.”

Flynn nodded in acknowledgement, eyeing the medication wearily. “Do what you have to doc,”

She waited for his acknowledgement before injecting the medicine.

Focusing her ebony eyes on the task at hand, Satreya slipped her hand very gently under his so that when she was ready she could position the fingers in the correct position as she healed them. “This will hurt momentarily, but it should be less than it would have been without the analgesic,” she said with an encouraging smile.

Despite the doctors gentle touch, Flynn tensed when their skin made contact. He wasn’t afraid of a little pain, but he was acutely aware that the physical contact would strengthen Boja’s ability to sense his emotions.

It depended entirely on the awareness of the person she treated whether they would feel the distinct energy she emitted, and it was often strongest when in direct contact. But still some never noticed it at all. In this case, her intense focus on carefully stretching out the finger slowly as the osteo-regenerator knit the fracture closed. And yet, she was still able to converse.

“Did you know that medicine is like a little mystery game. It reveals all sorts of things that if you pay attention close enough, reveal situations and circumstances as they relly are and not what others wish them to be.”

Boja, CMO

Flynn couldn’t help the cold that spiked in him and he focused intently on the muffled pain in his fingers to try and hide it. His eyes had been flickering between watching what the CMO was doing to his hands, and her face, but now his eyes reseted souly on her face. “Really?” he asked causally, giving her one of his charming smiles, even though he knew it would be pointless “If that’s the case why aren’t more doctors detectives?”

“Who says they aren’t?” Boja said casually. “But if all doctors took up the work of those in security and constabularies, well, who would do all the healing?” she added with a smirk. Finishing with the first finger, she then moved to the next, monitoring his pain with her empathy to make sure she took a break if needed. Not all patients would say they needed one and would suffer needlessly.

“That’s a valid point,” Flynn agreed absently, trying to resist the temptation to flex his fixed finger before his other one was fixed. As she started on the second one the pain he was feeling spiked as she began to knit the bones together. The pain was managable and so he said nothing.

“But, after awhile on the job, you learn lots of things. For example, I can tell the difference between a compression fracture and an impact fracture. See, compression fractures would bruise quite distinctly on both sides of the afflicted area, like a finger caught in something. But if that same finger collided with something, well, it shows as a difference sort of damage to the surrounding tissues.” She paused from her work to look up at him. “Not that you can’t have bruises on both sides, but it’s… different.” She went back to her work.

Boja, CMO

“Facinating,” Flynn commented with a not so easy smile, he knew what the CMO was implying and he didn’t like it. Wasn’t planning on giving her the same satisfaction of confirmation like he had unwittingly given Sinclair “So you can recognise different injury patterns and accociate them with certain scenarios. But not all bruising shows up instantly isn’t that correct?” he asked, but then continued before the doctor could respond, “Sometimes bruising takes a day or two to appear, and in that case how can you really judge the severety of the damage done to the surrounding tissue? And following that different areas of bruise more or less easily than others, how do you take that into consideration?”
