Skalvunn nodded, waving Mira & Kevin to follow him. "I looked at the medical records. It was heart failure... but what caused it is undetermined.”
Mira nodded, watching as the doctor lifted the sheet. The scar Rashard had on his chest was visible. Mira wasn't sure why she fixated on the scar. She had just always wanted to stab him like whomever had done it. Not that she would admit to that…
She nodded, stepping back into Kevin's arms. "Thank you, doctor.”
Skalvunn nodded, "If you have need of me, we can have an earlier session." His eyes went to Kevin, then he nodded before covering the body.
Kevin gently led her out.
As he door shooshed closed, Skalvunn straightened as a figure came from the side. “You’ll watch out for her, yes?”
The figure nodded, “Without a doubt Doctor. She has an entire team behind her. She is recovering... I think she is finally learning to lean on support she didn’t have when she had to meet challenges before.”
"Trust is hard with that one.” Skalvunn said.
With a strong exhale, the figure replied, “Hard won. Unfortunately, that may yet prove to be to her advantage."
Skalvunn examined the figure more closely. “Pot meet kettle.”
The figure’s face scrunched up somewhat. “I do not understand the reference.”
Skalvunn shook his head as the figure bent over the cadaver, pulling the sheet back. “This was professionally done. Too clean to be natural, too advanced to be possible in this day and age, especially after the extensive medicals upon his return. The medical records are clean too, and again, too much so.”
“Agreed. But not my area of expertise Doctor.” Skalvunn stood to the side, appearing uninterested. He noticed a glimpse of some kind of exo-suit near the collar as the figure bent over in her examination.
“Hmmm.” The figure continued her exam, pulling out something and began scanning. Orion? She continued scanning, rerunning each step to be sure.
Skalvunn looked askance. “You do not like your title? You have passed your certs as required.”
Not looking up she replied, “And along with it comes… complications. I just need the skills, not the titles.”
Skalvunn mulled that over as the CMO from the ’Norris completed whatever it was she needed with the body. “Your conclusion?”
K’ner shook her head. “I never make conclusions without fully examining the facts Doctor, just as you.” She knew Peke would suss out any inconsistency from the electronic records. All she needed was a crumb of a digital trail to latch onto.
Skalvunn nodded. “Quite. We have both come a long way.”
K’ner turned. “May your journey be long and fruitful my friend.”
Skalvunn raised a hand in gesture. “May yours be filled with challenges overcome."
