Arlow Tsai has been sitting with a Wroug medical specialist for quite a while.

They made Arl to change into a gown, and they vaporized the earth clothes.

It is amazing how; the purpose of disposable clothing, quick access to patient body parts, and differentiation between patients and staff, will lead to medical patient gowns that hardly vary across the universe. There is not much of the gown, and it does not do much for covering the back.

Arl had to be shown the hideaway door at the wall where gowns, pillows and blankets were stored.

They have talked at length, but Arl does not understand much on the medical questions being asked. Arl watched some videos; there were clearly some very unusual medical conditions in the galaxy. Beings could liquefy (except for the hard parts of the body) and drop down with a splash. Beings could transform over days into a completely different species. Beings could go into a coma physically, and an energy-self could move about and return at will (the Wroug seemed to think this was quite dangerous).

Arl was getting hungry. They had recommended no food for Arl. Beings that travel the Galaxy generally had engineered supporting biotics to provide for eating available foods. Arlow Tsai had completely unknown biotics (over 100,000 different ones) in his system. They thought it would be good not to risk food, until they figured out if it was safe.

When it came to age and longevity. That got the strongest reaction from the Wroug woman, she sat with her face away for a while. Arl was in the early twenties and thought his death would come around 80 years.

At best, Arlow Tsai would die quite very young (for galactic norms). Arl could not safely consume food. Arl had a huge number of unidentified biotics, and would not be released until they identified them.

Arl has signs of contact with a very highly toxic type of infection.

Arl was very far from home and had no supporting documentation, let alone a reasonable explanation for how he got here.

The Wroug woman was cheerful to get a communication from the part of the Galaxy where Arlow Tsai was from.

After a silent moment, she read it aloud. 'Arlow Tsai was a wanted criminal.'
