((Aftermath of this and this.))

SHODAN had forcefully ejected Tieria from the system, although not before wreacking havoc on his neural relays. The shock rendered him unconscious, and he now lay drifting in the zero-g of Veda's interface room. Warning alarms continued to sound with polite concern, while emergency back-up systems struggled their way online.

The restricted access area doors, usually closed to anyone without the proper clearance (anyone who wasn't Tieria, that is), were now open, and the dark corridors were bathed in a dim orange light.

Setsuna hesitated briefly before nodding. Tieria was very careful to always keep the restricted area just that, it didn't feel right to just leave the doors open like that. But if Sumeragi couldn't operate it, there wasn't much they could do about it. They would just have to hope that Tieria would understand when he woke up. If he woke up. Setsuna glanced at the other boy as he made his way down the hallway after Sumeragi. He didn't look good at all; his usually pale features were tinged an almost grey colour and there was a sheen of sweat on his forehead.

It wasn't a terribly long way to the sick bay, but in their nervous silence it seemed much longer. They didn't encounter anyone on their way there--likely a good thing, since in all honesty she had no idea how they would explain their limp, unconscious cargo.

Moreno let little surprise show; he had been a doctor for years now, and she was grateful for his composure. He insisted, though, that they didn't stay for long, so after a few minutes she found herself, along with Setsuna, back in the hallway.

That was that, it seemed.

Setsuna hadn't been surprised when he and Sumeragi had been ushered out of the sick bay. He trusted Dr. Moreno to 'fix' Tieria, as it were, and knew that there was nothing he himself could do to help now. There was no point in hanging around the sick bay pestering the doctor for updates, it made much more sense to return to his quarters and wait to be told.

He glanced up at Sumeragi, his expression blank as ever. She however wasn't hiding her concerned expression, and he thought he should probably say something. "...He'll be fine." He said simply, his level tone not betraying the fact that he wasn't sure he even believed his own words. It wasn't that he was overly worried about Tieria's well-being, but it was more then slightly unnerving that no one knew what had happened to him.

She didn't like that her concern had been so obvious. Smiling (because she was the one who needed to be in control, and she had to let him see that), she said, "Of course. Now, we should go back, hm?" She resolved to act normally; there was no reason to let anyone worry unless Dr. Moreno determined this a serious case.

"I'm going to the bridge, alright?"

Setsuna nodded in acknowledgement. "I'll be in my quarters." He said shortly, before heading down the corridor away from the sick bay. There was no need to hang around, if Sumeragi needed him for anything she could call him to the bridge.
