"Rayne, whatever you asked for is your business but if this offer is your only basis for calling Trinity a good person then you will have to forgive me if i reject that opinion for lack of evidence." all eyes watched her while a few of them shook their heads. "as you well know from the time we discussed your home vague answers only spark more questions and we do not let it go. you were only being vague about things that normally would be taken for granted on your world but you were more then willing to go into detail when reminded that we aren't from your world and needed those things explained, something i believe you and Jass have probably had to deal with countless times now." Jass nodded with a small but proud smile. "however. Trinity was intentionally vague and evaded any attempt to go into detail on any topic and then she would launch into another topic to distract us but she still evaded any request for details. when she realized that we would only keep pressing she brought more and more people into the discussion hoping to distract us." he motioned to the Animus tablet and then to Rayne. he frowned and looked between Jass and Rayne with a deepening frown. "Jass?"<span style="color: #b3b300">"computer, access my personal medical files."</span>"please authenticate user identity." Jass nodded and pressed one thumb to his wrist device while the other Seraphim frowned confusedly.<span style="color: #b3b300">"computer, please read aloud the prognosis of my heart." </span>the next moment Isabelle's voice came from the computer.<span style="color: #663300">"due to reasons the patient has refused to explain to me his heart has come under enormous stress in the form of nightmares and he refuses to discuss the subject of these nightmares. i give the patient no more then six months before heart failure begins so i have begun immediate tests to determine whether or not a synthetic or cloned heart would be best suited to correct these issues."</span>"I'm sorry for your medical problems but what is the relevance to this discussion?"<span style="color: #b3b300">"Order told me the fate of my children. the nightmares began that night and three months later Dr. Kelsy gave me the prognosis we just heard... i believed the same as all of you, that i needed to know. please accept my medical issue as proof that the answer is worse then the question."</span>the counselors sat back to stare at Jass in silence for some time before the chairman sighed. "we will accept this answer, for now at least. and once again, we are sorry to hear of your medical problems. in light of your work any red tape you or the doctor need dealt with will be handled and if you need a temporary replacement just let us know." Jass nodded and bowed his head just a little.<span style="color: #b3b300">"thank you but so far there has been no issues and i am still quite capable of continuing my work with Rayne. the Dr. said my recovery should be quick so at most Rayne will have to cook for herself for a week or two but we will be well prepared for that before my surgery."</span>the chairman nodded and smiled politely, still obviously troubled. "we wish you luck in the hospital and a speedy recovery after."<span style="color: #b3b300">"thank you."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
