"No sir."

Dr Millinger leaves. 

Marian makes it back to the pod a few minutes later, but looks at the curtain and then parks herself at the desk and starts charting. She'll wait to see if Deskyl and/or DZ actually want to talk to her. 

DZ shows up pretty promptly. "Ma'am?"

Marian jumps up. "What do you need?" 

"It's fine, ma'am, Master Deskyl is fine. She sent me to find out if you have any questions for her."

"I, ummm... Not anything incredibly urgent? It seems like she didn't want to leave right away - it'd be good to know how long you both want to stick around? And I guess I'm kind of curious about how the healing other people thing works, but, uh..." She lowers her voice and then trails off entirely. 

"She's going to want to spend the night, yes ma'am. If you have specific questions about the healing you can come and ask her."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah. Marian is still kind of scared of Deskyl. 

"I, uh, don't think there's anything super urgent? It's not like anyone's dying or unstable." Kind of the opposite, really. 

The door to room 113 opens again; Deskyl leans on the doorframe rather than coming out.

    "She says there's no need to be afraid of her, ma'am."

On the one hand that's really sweet! On the other hand, it really does not make this situation feel any less socially awkward! 

"Uh, right, thank you. ...I did want to ask if she'd healed the guy who's in that room too." She gestures at 114 and Coma Guy. 

...yeah.

    "He was braindead, ma'am?"

"...Uh, not - literally fully braindead, he still had some reflexes and pupil reactions, he would breathe on his own a bit - but he's been...not otherwise responsive at all...for weeks." 

    "She was able to heal the damage, ma'am. But - she says it's a bit like mending a broken jug, the water will still be gone. You should be able to do something for him but she's not sure how much."

"Oh. That...makes sense. Thank you." 

Marian isn't sure what else to say. Mostly she's distracted by suddenly being VERY SAD. 

Yeah.

This is really inconvenient timing for needing a moment to process things! Marian takes a deep breath and tries to focus. "Thank you. Uh, do you need anything right now, or can I go help call people's families?" Now that the immediate chaos is mostly dealt with, there are a LOT of phone calls to make with unexpected huge updates. "...Also it'd be good to know if anyone else had unfixable things. Guy in 111 who was on dialysis and heart-lung bypass especially, Dr Millinger is pretty nervous about taking him off all the equipment without knowing for sure." 

    "Just him, ma'am, but you should keep the ones who had bacterial infections for a day or two to observe. The man in 111 is fine."

"Thank you. I should, uh, go tell them..." She waits to see if either Deskyl or DZ will add anything else. 

    "She appreciates the pain drug, ma'am." And they go back in.

Huh, Marian is surprised that Deskyl is still apparently taking the drug, she'd have expected her to immediately detach herself from all possible sources-of-drugs and maybe yeet the IV bags out the window just in case. Maybe she's just talking about the meds still in her bloodstream? Maybe she reconnected her IV? 

Whatever. Not the top priority. Marian heads over to attempt to awkwardly make a case to Alice about her patient being fine and it being safe to start disconnecting him from more machines. 

Alice already has him off the ECMO and dialysis - though with the ports still in place and the machines right there in the room, prepped and ready with new filters just in case he needs them again. He's also off the special high-frequency ventilator and onto a normal one. Oxygen set to 30%. His sats are 100% right now and his blood pressure is perfect. 

"I - was sort of noticing that," she says absently. "Millinger wants to wait four hours and get some repeat labs, check kidney function." 

Marian bends to check the catheter bag. It has quite a lot of perfectly normal and healthy looking urine in it, which she shows to Alice. 

"Hmm." 

Alice absently checks her patient's pupils with a penlight. 

"- Marian," she says, suspiciously. "What do you know here that I don't? Is it related to your humanoid robot visitor, by any chance?" 

"Uhhhhh."
