For movetheearth - Check Up

Hope was in love, absolutely and completely in love with the new medical facilities. Almost as soon as she arrived the head nurse pulled her aside and gave her the grand tour. The hospital was split between mutants and non-mutants which she didn’t approve of but the whole base was divided like that. She had two wards to run, complete with staff.

The crutches really were a safety blanket, having been given them during his stay back in Japan Ric was was clinging to them due to the turmoil of the quake and everything that came after. He wasn't even aware that he was doing so, obviously it was a subconscious thing so perhaps having Hope talk him out of being do dependent on them was a good thing.

The Medical Facilities here were astounding, Ric limped into the building being assisted by a Fort Wenchee solider who had been chatting away to him. Apparently the camp knew all about the reason the team had been brought here, a quake back in Japan, but not that mutants had been the cause of it. Or technically that Ric was the cause of the trouble. Ushered over to the reception they chatted to the young lady behind the desk before being told to wait here for Dr Hope.

The whole camp, despite the rules, was pretty amazing and Ric could not wait to get out there and see everything.

Because the wards were separate Hope had to escort all medical cases to the proper wards unless it was an emergency. The receptionist called to tell her Ric had arrived and she made her way down the twisting halls and staircases to meet him at the door. She smiled at him and the soldier who had come with.

"Ric, how are you feeling?" she asked, taking a quick look at his face, noting the weariness and bags under his eyes. "Why don't we get you off your feet? Follow me."

Glad to see Hope, despite having sat next to her the entire flight pretty much Ric smiled and nodded. He was exhausted, drained and still feeling out of sorts but that was more to do with the stress and the long flight than his injuries.

"Doing better, still not sleeping right and a bit under the weather but I don't suppose the flight helped much. Or... y'know everything else." Following Hope, Ric glanced around grinning at Abbot the soldier escorting him around the base. "Apparently Abbot here had heard all about our impending arrival but I bet you're too pleased with your new building huh Dr Hope?"

Ric had to admit that for the first time he was kind of pleased to see a place that looked remarkably clean and hopsital like rather than some of the facilities they'd endured in Russia or Africa.

She immediately latched onto the "under the weather bit". "Under the weather how? Any fever? Coughing? It's not just because you're tried and not sleeping well?"

She didn't quite like discussing this in front of the soldier but she would just have to get used to it. The military here seemed to be on edge about their presence.

"It's a very nice facility, yes. I'm quite happy with it."
