<strong>Dr. August Carrino<br/>Cryo Bay, RI <em>Swallow</em><br/>Low Orbit over Planet Sepik (SK01-PROS-01)</strong><br/><br/>As the medic approached, Gus felt a wave of embarrassment rise up inside of him.  He wasn't normally very self-conscious, but anyone who was on their hands and knees in their underwear, retching like a sick dog in plain view of a half dozen people, was sure to be very aware of their frankly pathetic situation, allergic reaction or no.  When the medic arrived, he waited silently -- well, as silently as he could -- as she prepped and injected the cyrases, artificial enzymes that catabolyzes the cyrostims.<br/><br/>Gus kept heaving for another half minute before the medicine kicked in.  When he felt his abdomen finally relax, he took his first deep and blessedly smooth breath in over two minutes.  His stomach was still doing flips, and a decidedly sour ball of nausea had settled in his gut, but at least now he could suppress the urge to vomit.  "I'm feeling it already," Gus said when he was sure he wouldn't heave again, smiling as he looked into her pen light.  He rubbed at his neck absently, his throat feeling sore.  "Cyrase, very quick, effective.  I've looked into it since I travel so much, but this is the first time I've actually ever needed it."<br/><br/>He rubbed a hand through his short-cut beard, as brown as it was grey, making sure nothing had gotten in it.  Satisfied, he stood, wincing slightly as he used his abdominal muscles.  He leaned against the Cyro pod to ward off vertigo and looked around the Cyro bay.  Well, it seemed empty enough.  At least no one had stood around gawking while he tried to puke his stomach inside out.  Small blessings.<br/><br/>Gus looked back at the medic.  He didn't recognize her, but then he hadn't had much time to see the other passengers before the<em>Swallow</em>jumped anyway.  "I think I'm feeling better now, all things considered.  Though I'm looking forward to the Cyro-Green even less than usual now."  He offered her a small smile and an outstretched hand.  "Thanks for the quick response, miss...?"
