Zedria looked over to Paraki. "...s-should I believe her?" she whispered to Torga.
Paraki put her watch around her fingers, then clenched her no-armed shoulder.

"She's probably not lying," Torga replied.

"Before you came in..." Paraki said, seeming to be struggling with her shoulder. "...I detected an infection in your mate that will eventually be fatal to her. However..."
Paraki stumbled to her feet, slowly pulling from her bloody sleeve a new arm, veiny, stiff, and covered with orange goo. She put her watch on her new arm. "...she might even be able to be treated."

Torga looked at Zedria. "Do you want her performing weird and painful experiments on you? She says she can save your life."

"As I said before, that is not in my field of practice." Paraki said. "I would-"
"No." Zedria said. "If it means more suffering, I'd rather die."
"I am not as cold as to ignore the specifications of potential patients." Paraki informed. "Besides, the problem lies with a pathogen, which I already obtained a sample of. Everything before treatment will be performed without you present."

"That's just like you," Torga replied. "You don't lie, but you sure as hell don't tell people everything. Yeah you might be able to save her, but you'll probably just make her like me."

"Some species are naturally more resistant to infection." Paraki said. "Do you not agree? After all, you can not genetically be called Nocturnian any more, and look how strong you have become."
Zedria sighed, looking up at Torga. "Let's just go."

"Yeah, I'm stronger now than I ever was, but I had this done because I wanted power," Torga replied. "Don't touch her again." Torga turned and started walking out.

Zedria stood up and walked toward Torga, stumbling. Paraki was watching quietly.

Torga turned around and picked Zedria up, then carried her out.
