"first" stands and looks at the video screen with a calm expression, but no one would want to be physically in front of her right now. Her body a bit forward and her arms a bit back. A coiled spring, silent.

The Medical Supervisor asks her if she would like to take advantage of therapeutic resources here. This is just the kind of facility where many treatments are offered.

"first" relaxes the tense condition of her body and smiles sweetly, 'I am so very sorry Supervisor, I know that Wroug are not pleased to witness social tenseness. I am not expecting to be visibly unwelcoming in your presence.'

The body of Ima on the bed vanishes.

The Supervisor says it is OK. The steps to recall Ami are in place. Her safety is ensured.

"first" talks smoothly and graciously to the supervisor, but slowly returns her gaze to the Super Villainess of Wroug while speaking.

"If I should collapse, please take my body to be scanned and keep scanning. Do not think that what happens next is an emotional response. I am pretty certain about what I will do."

Her body collapses to the floor, and the supervisor tries to save the head from striking the floor. He had a conversation with an alien recently that provided a fresh perspective.

In looking up to the screen, something confuses him. It is off. It even smokes a little.

They had installed a protection energy field in front of it. The woman has been setting up trans-planar fields. The protection energy was stasis level. No matter of any kind could have touched that screen. Also, what was that white flash?

"second" saw it pretty clearly. "first" jumped out of her body in a flash towards the woman in the screen.

The ascendant form of "first" travels quickly down the ill-formed trans-planar tunnel. She has her right hand balled in front and her left hand ready at her side.

The friends of the Lan will have protection. The woman needs to comprehend that, without chuckling while being told.
