Lena had gone off too quickly for Aura to give answer.  Aura rummaged through the first aide kit and finds the medifree that would be needed to sterilize the pole and area surrounding the wound, but Lena would need something sterile to place the patient on.  There was not enough medifree to sterilize the sleeping bag the impaled woman was currently lying upon.<br/>Besides, Aura still couldn't touch the woman.<br/><br/>Before the woman slips into an unconscious state, Aura leaned  down next to her and speaking in a loud clear voice asked as she was taught to do of the prickly Earthlings, "Earth woman, you are injured.  Do you give me permission to aid you?  It will require that I touch you."  Aura ground her teeth as she waited the required two minutes for a reply.  If the woman said yes, she could do anything to assist Lena.  If she said no, she couldn't touch her at all.   Aura also knew that if no reply was forthcoming, then she would be able to at least touch the woman minimally to assist Lena.  Just by looking at her she could tell the woman was slipping into shock.  Aura removed her lab coat and carefully covered the top half of the prone form knowing that the coat's molecular structure would bring her much needed warmth.<br/>Aura sat back on her heals to wait.<br/>
