<div align="center"><strong>-=Dani, on board The Gamble, in the Infirmary, performin' miracles=-</strong></div><br/>As she reentered the infirmary, Dani caught the look on Vincent's face.  It was full of guilt, and longing, and tenderness, his head turned towards Mae on the table next to him.  Smiling reassuringly, she walked between the two pilots, taking Vincent's hand in hers and giving it a squeeze.<br/><br/>"I promise she'll be fine.  You're not to blame, Vincent.  You got her back here in one piece, and that's all that matters.  I'm going to take good care of her.  And you.  Fang xin, hao?"  Dani knew that he would go on worrying, despite her pledge that everything would be shiny.  Such was the nature of this crew.  They all cared deeply for one another, and every single member of the crew would be concerned about Mae's welfare.  Of course, Vincent's concern ran deeper than that, Dani knew, and was now entwined with his feelings of guilt for not looking after her properly.  "Now, how about that massage I promised?"<br/><br/>Almost as soon as Dani finished speaking, a soft moan could be heard from behind her.  The medic turned to see Mae's eyelids fluttering, her head rolling first one way, then the other.<strong><em>“Ai ya! Did anyone see that stampede that trampled my ass? Yeh Su, someone shoot me and put me out of my misery.”</em></strong>Moving quickly to Mae's side, Dani checked the girl's pupils again, shining her penlight into each eye in turn, pleased to see that they were equal and reactive.<br/><br/>"Shhh Mei-Mei," Dani soothed.  "Lie still and let me check you, and then I'll get you something for your headache."  Sliding her hands beneath Mae's head, she once again investigated the area that had been hit.  The cold pack had reduced the swelling slightly, and Dani pressed gently around the base of the skull, watching closely for any reaction to her prodding.  Confident that there was no lasting damage, she put Mae through several simple neurological tests, having her follow an object with her eyes, count how many fingers were being held up, as well as testing her reflexes, and reaction to pain stimuli by poking her in different places on her body.  Mae was understandably a little sluggish, but everything seemed to check out.  Finally, Dani was satisfied, and drew a syringe of a clear liquid from a small vial.<br/><br/>"I'm giving you a shot of hydrozapam to help your headache, It won't make you sleepy, I don't want you dozing off again, Mei-Mei.  I need to keep a close eye on your vitals, as well as your alertness.  We'll be doing those tests every hour or so for a while, just to make sure."  Dani smiled down at her patient, her heart that much lighter for seeing the girl conscious.  Swiping a small area on Mae's arm with a swatch of gauze soaked in surgical alcohol, Dani expertly administered the painkiller, rubbing the area lightly after removing the needle.  "It'll take a couple of minutes, but you should be feeling better soon."  Stroking Mae's head affectionately, Dani smiled over at Vincent.  "See?  What'd I tell you?"<br/><br/>Turning from her patients, Dani dampened a couple of washclothes with cool water and applied them to the foreheads of each of the pilots.  "I know it's old fashioned," she smiled at their expressions. "But it really does help.  Now...you two had better get comfortable.  You'll both be here overnight at least.  Perhaps longer.  And I hate to say it, but no flying for either of you for a bit."  The looks of outrage on each of their faces made Dani laugh.  "No, no arguments.  Doctors orders!  Neither of you are in any condition to be in the cockpit. No, Mae," she said firmly, heading off the girl's protest before she could even make it.  "I'll inform Griff immediately that he's going to have to play pilot for a little while."<br/><br/>Heading towards the door, Dani paused just inside the infirmary.  "I'll be back in a few minutes.  You're both to stay right where you are, do you understand?  Vincent, I'm trusting you to make sure Mae obeys orders, hao?"  Almost beaming at them, Dani exited the infirmary looking for Griff.  It warmed her heart to know that Mae was going to be fine, although she expected her to be a most difficult patient.<br/><br/>"Griff," she called into the cargo bay.  "Are you still here?"<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Fang Xin: Don't worry<br/>Hao: Okay </em>
