Neda didn’t comment on the fact other people may have had things to do. She understood that, though she looked at him sidelong when he mentioned the need to get used to schedules. She was never the most punctual of people, though she chose not to bring that little fault up quite yet. He would find out on his own soon enough. “Twins?” She asked, confused on what he was talking about. It almost sounded morbid, like he was taking her down to some weirdos in the basement that chopped people up and kept brains in jars. “I get a gun?” Her head turned to look at him now, eyebrows raised. He was going to trust her with a gun? She couldn’t help but smiled wickedly at that. It wasn’t that she had ill intentions, not yet at least, but it was funny. Her holding a gun. She imagined shooting into the air and people running away while she laughed manically. As the elevator passed her number she frowned, having hoped it would have opened to reveal more of the mysterious tower than he was showing her. She would need to remember that two button press trick.<br/><br/>When the doors opened into the sterile looking hallway she froze, her feet not allowing herself to move forward. Only when he stepped off the elevator did she force her heavy feet to follow. Neda was silent as they walked down the halls, her eyes glancing into the glass walls, watching the white coat individuals working away. The cybernetic chop shop had her feet slowing down to look at all the different parts that laid strewn out in the open. Neda realized she had fallen behind shortly after and rushed to catch up with Nick. At the T intersection she couldn’t help but smile at the nicknames the two had been given against their will. The names made it all seem less intimidating.<br/><br/>Neda followed Nick into the examination room, her body stepping to the side of the door when she saw the soldier. She couldn’t look away and stared at the man as if he was a circus freak on show. Living on the fringe people didn’t have cybernetics. They had prosthetics and even those were a botched job. It was almost better to lose the limb then try to salvage it. Her eyes shifted to Nick’s cybernetic arms. It seemed different as only his hand and eye were really visible, not like this man who seemed more like machine than human. Neda shifted uncomfortably as the man hobbled past. It was only when the man left did her attention swerve to the doctor, silently taking him in. Her eyes shifted from Nick and Dr. Robinson. “Uh I guess.” She muttered, unsure what it really entailed.<br/><br/>Dr. Robinson wheeled out the divider as a female nurse came back into the room with a clean cotton gown and slip as well as a paper blanket. “Change into this.” She instructed, handing Neda the garments. Neda went behind the divider and looked at the exam bed before glancing at the divider. It was weird, changing in a room full of people, though she was glad for the small amount of privacy. Neda took off her clothes, placing them in a pile on the chair near the examination table. She slipped on the cotton dress and tied the strings in the back, her back and buttocks exposed. The short sleeved slip was placed on as well, acting as a cover for her rear. Neda stepped out from the divider in her cotton dress in her bare feet. “Come step on this.” Dr. Robinson ordered. Neda came over and stepped on the weigh scale, feeling the cool metallic surface she stood on. The nurse adjusted the measurements while Dr Robinson recorded the results. “Low muscle tissue and a bit of malnutrition.” He said out loud, making Neda glance at Nick. “She will need to build up muscle in order to perform well.” He scrawled something on a clipboard that rested on the desk. “Sit on the bed please.” Neda stepped from the weigh scale and looked at Nick before going behind the divider and sitting on the table. Dr. Robinson and the nurse disappeared behind the divider.<br/><br/>The doctor took her temperature, looked into her ears, shone a flashlight into her eyes and watching the pupils react. He had her open her mouth and look at the back of her throat, he examined her gums and teeth with a hint of surprise. They were in good condition for living on the fringe. He swabbed the inside of her cheek and put it into a small vial that the nurse deposited onto a rack of empty vials. “Take off the slip and lay down.” He asked, removing himself to give her some privacy. The nurse helped her lay down on the table and she placed Neda’s feet into stirrups at the edge of the table.<br/><br/>The nurse draped the paper blanket over her lower half, giving her some privacy. “Already Doctor.” The nurse said, looking at Neda with a friendly smile. Neda felt her back prickle with sweat, her feet and hands feeling cold in the sterile room.<br/><br/>The doctor returned with gloves on. “I’m going to lift your dress and give you a breast exam.” He told her before proceeding to lift the flimsy garment. He looked at her chest briefly, making sure for no physical abnormalities before he looked to the side, his fingers pressing around her breasts and on her areola. Neda watched the doctor, her throat gulping back her nervousness. It was weird, being touched like this, so clinically and by someone she didn’t know. His fingers prodded near her armpits before they extended down her stomach, feeling for anything abnormal. All the while the nurse stood there, watching. “Alright.” The doctor pulled down her cotton dress over her torso again before he moved down to sit on a small stool that rested at the end of the table. “Move down a bit more.” He indicated, her legs spread open for him. Awkwardly Neda shifted down the table, her ass feeling like it was going to fall off the thing. “Okay, this will be cold and you will feel some pressure but it shouldn’t hurt.” Neda looked down but the paper blanket blocked the view between her legs. “Ready?” Neda nodded but didn’t say anything, looking to the side at the divider. She felt a cool metal slid between her legs, parting her lips and a pressure within her vagina as the instrument was extended into her. She winced, the feeling uncomfortable, but like he said, there was no pain. “I’m just taking a swab.” He announced, though she didn’t feel anything. The vaginal exam didn’t even last a minute before she felt the instrument withdraw. “Alright, all done.” The snap of his gloves sounded as he took them off his hands. Neda closed her legs, taking her feet from the stirrups and sitting up with the paper blanket over her legs. “We will just need a blood sample and then you’ll be all good to go.” Dr. Robinson left from the divider to go back to his desk, recording his findings into a file.<br/><br/>Neda watched the nurse come over with gloves and a needle, along with three vials that she would fill with blood. A rubber band was tied onto her bicep and a vein was coaxed forward before Neda was stuck with the needle. She winced and looked away, watching the floor as the blood was quickly withdrawn. The nurse released the rubber band and filled the vials. It wasn’t long before a  cotton ball was placed on the small wound and tied down with a piece of surgical tape. “Hold pressure for thirty seconds and you can get dressed.” The nurse instructed, taking the vials and specimen samples out of the room. Neda held the cotton ball for five seconds before she stopped and got dressed again, feeling more secure and less vulnerable in her old clothes. Only once she was dressed did she come from behind the divider and look at Nick.<br/><br/>It was then Dr. Robinson spoke. “She will need to take vitamin supplements for a few weeks and maintain a better diet. He spoke to Nick, eyes drifting to Neda every so often. “She has low muscle mass but that is easily fixed with training. Besides that, we will have the test results back in a few days. I took samples to test for parasites, STI’s, and pregnancy as well as a full blood work panel so we will have a starting spot.” He informed both people.  Neda was positive she wasn’t pregnant but didn’t say anything. “That should be it for now, commander.” He looked at Nick to see if there was anything else. Neda felt like a test subject as he listed her medical needs to Nick and the fact so many tests were being performed from her samples.
