"...Denver? Where is Denver?"

"Oh, now I'm expecting this patient interaction to drag out and I wish it wouldn't," says Dr. Brisket. "Denver is in Colorado, in the Fractious States of America."

...that sounds fairly familiar. "On Earth?"

"Yes, on Earth."

"Oh." Well, the doctor seems - busy - and he can let him go without further questions.

The doctor goes. The nurse comes back, and adjusts his machines, and tells him she's giving him pain meds. "And if you're still in pain, the doctor's orders say I can give you more once the police have come. But don't count on them showing up any time soon, because they'll probably be a couple of hours."

"I understand."

"I'm going to go sext my husband from the break room. Use the call button if you need me."

.........okay. He's never been married, maybe that's normal? "Thank you."

The police come nearly three hours later. They want Kyeo's name, again, and the last thing he remembers, again, and then they want to know everyone he knows who might've wanted to hit him over the head with a blunt object. 

As far as Kyeo knows nobody would have wanted to hit him over the head with a blunt object. He is pretty sure that the ship got into some kind of trouble and he hit his head that way, what's bewildering is how he wound up on Earth from the Ibyatok system.

"What is the Ibyatok system?"

"Ibyatok is another star."

"You're from another star? WOW! That's so cool! What's it like there?"

"...I am pretty sure Earth knows about Ibyatok and the inhabited planets there."

" - well," he says, after missing a beat, "my husband's always telling me, Dan, you should read the papers more, and not just the sports section."

...perhaps on Earth men have husbands. "I... see."

"Do you ...know anyone on Earth?"

"No. I have met a handful of people from Kular but none from Earth before this."

"Huh. Well, we need a place of residence and phone number for followups, but I guess you're not going to have those, if you're from space?"

"That's right."

"Well, that's really cool, but also inconvenient, because if I don't put that information in our case report then I don't see how we'll follow up, and assault is a serious matter we should really be following up on."

"I still don't think I was assaulted."

"Well, if you sustained the injury by accident then I don't need a report at all."

"I suppose it's possible my ship was assaulted. By another ship. I was not personally assaulted."
