Recovery
Saja: ...well, she doesn't look Zetsfirian.
Karen: Zetsfir bloodline DNA has been well-documented, so the evidence supports that.
Saja: Looks like she's been through a lot.
Karen: Yes but she already looks much healthier, even in the span of just a few hours.
Saja: Unbelievably resilient in addition to incredible strength.
Saja: Having her on our side would be an advantage. Let's hope it works out that way.
Karen: Yes but let's not rush things.
Saja: Take good care of her, Karen. I need to get back to my security duties.
Karen: I'll contact you as soon as she wakes up.
Ravenna: ........ugh.....
Karen: Vie estaz maldourm! Couh vie doloraiz? (You are awake! Are you in pain?)
Karen: Metou tchion ehn viana ourelon. Vie komprenak miah plic boun. (Put this in your ear. You will better understand me.)
Ravenna: Oh... this goes in my ear, I guess. Well, here goes nothing...
Karen: It's a universal translation device. Can you understand me now?
Ravenna: Yes... I can understand... where am I...? Ugh... it hurts...
Karen: You are in a medical facility aboard the Pandora orbital station.
Ravenna: Never heard of it. How did I get here? Oh, right, I was on the Morgan's Gate and then...
Ravennna: You know. The migration, leaving Earth...
Ravenna: What the... wait a minute...
Karen: Careful, now. Can you sit up?
Karen: ...don't force yourself...
Karen: Oh... let me help you with that, then...
Ravenna: Hmmm..... that's better....
Karen: Take it easy...! Don't push yourself.
Ravenna: Pandora station... no, I don't think there's a space station by that name in orbit around Earth.
Karen: What's "Earth"? Do you mean "Kaperth"?
Ravenna: Nope. What's going on, here? You don't know what Earth is...? Wait a minute... is this translation thingy broken?
Karen: No, it's working alright.
Ravenna: "Kaperth".... huh... oh...
Ravenna: What year is it?
Ravenna: No way.... 1278 A.D.?
Karen: 1278 P.E. Pleiadesian Era.
Ravenna: Pleiades? As in the planet "Pleiades-47?"
Karen: Well, Kaperth is a planet around the star "Pleione".
Ravenna: Hooooooo boy......
Karen: Lie down and get some more rest. I have some people that want to talk to you.
Karen: By the way... what's your name...?
Ravenna: It's "Ravenna". Like the city in Italy.
Ravenna: Oh, right. Nevermind that.
Karen: My name's Karen, by the way. Karen Maxwell. I'm a doctor and researcher on the Pandora orbital station.
Ravenna: Thank you for your help, Karen. You saved my life. I am going to need a while to get over the loss of my arm, though.
Karen: About your arm, we are growing you a new one from your existing cells. It will take a while, so I'll fit you with a robotic arm as a temporary replacement.
Karen: Just let me know when you're ready for me to do that and I'll perform the operation to implant the shoulder socket for it.
Ravenna: I'm still really sore, so let's wait a little while for that. Maybe in a few hours?
Karen: Ha, ha! I was going to suggest waiting a few weeks! You heal unnaturally quickly. You know that, right?
Ravenna: ...234...235...236...237...
Ravenna: Ah.... legs are starting to feel stronger... actually stronger than ever... it's like I weigh a lot less or something.
Ravenna: I have to get out of here and find Bus.
Karen: Wait... have you been exercising?
Ravenna: Well, yeah. Of course! I can't just stay in bed all day.
Karen: This is remarkable.
Dr. Maxwell: Hello, there, Ravenna! I'm Dr. Maxwell, Karen's father and head researcher here.
Dr. Maxwell: We have some questions we'd like to ask.
Ravenna: Oh, um...ok. Shoot.
Dr. Maxwell: Where are you from?
Ravenna: Saulsburg, Oregon, North American Union.
Dr. Maxwell: Incredible. Are you really not from this world?
Ravenna: I don't think I'm even from this time, good doctor.
Dr. Maxwell: From what time are you?
Ravenna: Somehow I doubt that. I think this is the distant future from my perspective. You see, I...
Karen: Ravenna, there is someone else who has been very eager to speak with you.
Ravenna: Oh, ok. Look, this is all a lot for me to take in right now.
Dr. Maxwell: We understand. Let's take things as a more comfortable pace. There's no need to rush.
Ravenna: Hey, Karen, I know you wanted to wait but I think I'm ready. Can we start installing that temporary robot arm?
Karen: Sure. Father, could you prepare and sterilize the shoulder socket?
Dr. Maxwell: Yes, of course. Ravenna, you are one tough young lady. It hasn't even been a full day and you're already walking around.
