Dr. Telchar arrives on the BwaV's third deck via elevator. He walks down the cramp hallways and is reminded of the conservative nature of human ships. He continues his way towards Nikolai's makeshift response center.

He walks into the room. He notices Nikolai across the room. Nikolai's visor was broken by T3CHNOCIDE. Afterwards he got the Spartan lV an MRI and other medical necessities before clearing him to interrogate Zeta. He didn't bother with an X-ray because everyone knew that spartan's bones were unbreakable.

Dr. Telchar holds the medical tests in his brief case. He had only done medical tests on spartans a few times before but it didn't take a genius to know what had to happen. He feels he needs to delay walking over to Nikolai. He never liked these kind of talks with soldiers.

Baron Forunato is barking orders into his communicator. Alysha is talking to marines and giving them directions to the BwaV. Nikolai is running on a treadmill, getting orders from Captain Lee and delegating the orders to the two dozen or so marines and kig-Yar that are operating phones and communicators. One marine is on the phone with one group of survivors from a bombing and a Kig-Yar is speaking in his native tongue to a police force to rendevous with the survivors.

Dr. Telchar "I am looking for Nikolai Pereshenko."

Busy Marine "Over there." He points to Nikolai.

Nikolai "Yes.  Yes sir.  I will prepare that sitrep on the dome structure survivors ASAP." He hangs up his call with the Captain.

Nikolai "Yes old friend.  I am over here." Dr. Telchar walks over.

"I haven't had a formal meeting with you since Beta Maximus.  Pulling shards of my visor out of my eye doesn't count." Nikolai gestures to his broken helmet.

Dr. Telchar "You are gonna want to sit down for this." The Doctor turns off the treadmill. Nikolai "I have a sitrep to create."

Dr. Telchar "This is much more important." He pulls a two chairs over. A really heavy duty one for the spartan and a regular one for him. He sets his briefcase down on a table and pulls out his first paper. (Continuation)

Dr. Telchar "Can you look in this mirror for me?" He holds up a mirror and Nikolai takes off his helmet to see himself for the first time since the Sarin gas crisis.

Nikolai sees scars all over his face. One scar runns from his cheek all the way up to his forehead through his right eye. He asks for an eye patch but Dr. Telchar had already brought one. Nikolai puts on his eye patch.

Dr. Telchar "This is just what the glass from your visor did to you when you were kicked in the face.  You were clearly out matched, what ever you were fighting, and you shouldn't have engaged.  You SHOULD have died from your injuries.  The fact that you are still walking around today is a miracule.

Nikolai "Well spartans never die, right?  Is there something else you came here to tell me?"

Dr. Telchar "Actually there is alot." He shows Nikolai a CT scan and an MRI scan of Nikolai's brain.

Dr. Telchar "You have a TBI score of 10.  That means you have a moderate TBI, or traumatic brain injury.  You probably didn't remember this but you could barely talk straight when we picked you up.  Your CT and MRI scans shows minor ICP, or intracranial pressure.  I can't clear you for a combat role."

Nikolai (in disbelief) "You are going to discharge me?"

Dr. "No.  I just want to temporarily pull you out of combat and on to a desk job so your brain and your face can heal."

Nikolai "For how long?"

Dr. Telchar "Estimates are always hard in this field but I would say at least 8 months."

Nikolai "How can you say that?!  Those people, OUR people down there don't have 8 months to wait around!"

Dr. Telchar "I don't know what is going through your mind but it isn't good.  You don't owe these people anything.  You have given everything of yourself."

Nikolai "No.  Not yet."

Dr. Telchar "Tell me right now.  Are you suicidal?"

Nikolai gets up to leave. He puts back on his helmet and says "Thats for me to know and you to find out."

Dr. Telchar "If you leave then you are going against my orders, which in these matters suppercede even yours.  I am commanding you to turn over that suit of armor."

Nikolai leaves for the hangar bay to investigate the dome structure and the situation going on over there in the mountain city. (We should really name it something already.  Like "Leet" or "Lambda city")

Dr. Telchar "I hate spartans.  They are fucking stubborn sons of bitchs.  And the worse part is that you can't stop them."

He looks over his matieral again to see where he made his mistake becuase his knowledge tells him that Nikolai should have died. As he looks at a blood test he realizes an aweful truth. He realizes that Nikolai has something else in him. Augmentations that were not of the spartan program. Now he knows why Nikolai survived. It wasn't the nanomites and it wasn't the spartan lV augs; although they did make a difference. Nikolai had been been experimenting with something; that was for sure.

PA system "Dr. Telchar, Dr. Telchar, You are needed in the medical bay.  More wounded made it back to the ship."

Dr. Telchar gets up to leave. He picks up his papers and thinks about the ramifications of a spartan that is more than just a spartan.
