"Is all the chemo out of my system?"

"Yes, should be," Emril says. 

"Then yeah - where is she?"

"I assume hanging out in a pool down on Earth with all the other Yeerks who had to leave their hosts in the last few days. She probably misses you too." 

"Who do I ask?"

"I  can go ask Matirin for you right now?" Marian is only slightly scared of Matirin, and it's worth talking to scary people when her patients need things. 

"Yes please. Or I can if you can tell me where to find him."

"He's usually in the field if he's not meeting with people - Emril, can you check with Mindspeech? Here, Aileen, let's get all those machines off you, you are officially no longer in need of machines. ...We should get you back to Earth anyway, probably, because this ship is really crowded and I don't think you want to share me and Melody's supply closet or sleep in the giant sleepover pile." 

"I guess we'll get a hotel room since my apartment isn't going to still be there."

"I'm sure we can help you figure something out." 

Emril looks for Matirin with Thoughtsensing. :Are you busy?: 

He has mostly finished the meetings with Earth's leaders and is angry at Yeerks, again, because it's so hard to spend hours around brave people reaccustoming themselves to not being powerless in their own bodies. <I have a minute, what is it?>

:Aileen is cured of cancer and I think she would appreciate talking to you about what her next steps are for getting Enstat back. We're in the medical bay but she can come out to you if that's better: 

He can head over to the medical bay. <Aileen! Congratulations.>

"Thanks, though inspirational messaging aside mostly the cancer patient doesn't bring a lot of expertise to the table. Where's Enstat?"

<I don't know whether she has a temporary host or is in a pool temporarily. I can ask in our next communications with the Yeerks; I have been passing along updates on your health.>

"Also I'm legally dead, what's the - public messaging situation such that I might be able to fix that?"

<We just spoke today with world leaders who have been freed from Yeerk control, and got their approval on our public announcements explaining the whole situation, which should be released tomorrow. I think countries may be scrambling for a little while to deal with all the legal implications of this situation but at least if you say 'my Yeerk faked my death' people will know what you are talking about.>

"I guess I can try staying with family if my credit card company doesn't believe me."

<We have an apartment in Capitol Heights that no one is presently using, if that's helpful.>

"Capitol Heights works."

<I will ask someone to arrange that for you. I think that the U.S. government may have some hesitations about employing people with Yeerks in sensitive positions for some time, especially Yeerks that were in any way involved in enslaving the government. It was voiced to me that all Yeerks were ineligible for security clearances.>

"Then I guess we'll do something else. Or retire, with the complication of getting my savings back from my kids."

He nods. <Please let my staff know if any other complications come up over the next few months. Likely many people are in similar situations putting their lives back together after having been enslaved, so it will be useful to know what problems you are running into.>

"Sure, I can keep a journal about it."
