[Back in the hospital bay]

[nepasfrancais]

Is it the practice of the EDF to force pilots just out of the hospital to repaint an entire battleship? I think I reopened a number of my stiches, and my ribs are even more tender than when I started today, to say nothing of the burns being aggravated by the paint in the chemicals.

He made an injured man work on the ship?!

Well I was technically out of the hospital, if only just.

Still, that's insane! I knew the guy was a jerk, but I actually expected some logic from him.

[nepasfrancais]

Well, I probably should have requested leave, I thought I'd be fine since I was out so I didn't complain.

You mean--

What a jackass..

[nepasfrancais]

Well I probably should have mentioned something, but I thought I'd be OK.

You do have to take care of yourself sometimes. I'm sure even someone like Lee would understand that you just got released.

[She rubs her temples.]

Do you know how much this little stunt is going to set you back yet?

[nepasfrancais]

Probably only a week or so. I'm made of pretty tough stuff.
