“Heard you have very loud news reporter on ship. Remembered last time you encountered reporter. Amusing--have video on omni-tool for instant, satisfying play-back--but also...surprised,” A nod, “At choice.”
“Overheard crew suggest you hit head. Concussion. They mimed this very loudly in Citadel docking bay. Assured them you’ve hit your head--many, many times--but this not likely directly correlating with decision regarding reporter.” Slim fingers raise up to a staggered horn, miming gently knocking against the exterior of his skull. A slowly spreading smile. “Reminded them: Titanium Plate in head from ‘resurrection’ as crew is calling it. Rumor spread by last reporter. Did not breach patient confidentiality--hate misrepresentation of causal effect of injuries. Could be dangerous in field for diagnosis of emergency situations.” A scoff, though he’s clearly still smiling. “Told them: prognosis unlikely concussive brain injury. Just bad memory of last time with reporter.”
