The mercenary’s vitals spring to life on various readouts, and the sound of her heart rate normalizing based on the [i]beeping[/i] patterns of the machine had become music to the Ithlo’s ears. He still couldn’t believe what he was seeing regardless, and the reasoning behind her suddenly awakening was even further beyond his understanding. Had there, in fact, been celestial bodies at work, watching over the fallen woman, toiling in their own time to repair that which seemed to be hopeless? Science, technology, and decades of medical knowledge just didn’t prepare anyone for such-

“Miracles...” Kai’mos muttered under his breath, gazing in awe at the human who should have passed into the realm of the dead, but once again, surprised us all. 

The Captain’s question took a moment to register with the Doctor, as he almost wasn’t listening to anyone or anything around him, however he had to snap away from the reverie he had found himself in to actually continue his work. “Miss Taggart’s vitals are registering on the positive, Captain, and brain activity is resuming a normal pattern, as is heart rate, breathing, and blood flow. It is as if-”  

Kai paused for a moment, still processing the ordeal himself, but at the same time, ecstatic inside his own mind. “It is as though her human biological ‘system’ is rebooting.” The Doctor glanced at Maria for a moment, cocking his head as though unable to really describe it any other way, and then moved his attention to the very alive patient lying on the table. 

“Miss Taggart, you may be feeling some dizziness, but the Captain and I can help you sit up, which should alleviate the light-headedness.” He said, dabbing the bit of sweat from the woman’s forehead with a cloth. “I think you will be okay.” The Doctor said with a hopeful expression in his eyes and a genuine smile on his lips, a [i]smile[/i] which he had not shown much of since joining the Veritas. “Your physiological make-up is much heartier than most humans I have ever come across.” The Doctor said to the other, looking into the woman’s beautiful eyes for the first time in what seemed like forever.  “But perhaps you knew this already.” 

Kai’s attention turned to the readouts momentarily, noticing her vitals wavering but then normalizing once again. “In the meantime, I would suggest you hold off on any alcohol consumption and take things easy until you are at one hundred percent.”
