Bab 538: 538 Edumucatified

"Everything checks out, Commander. They're ready for your day's lesson." The doctor said out loud for the others' benefit. 

"Thanks, Doc. I've got a big day planned for them, and I know they're going to love today's lesson." 

With their business done, the doctor waved them out of his office to deal with an injured soldier who had just arrived with a long gash down his arm. 

"Spanner broke while trying to free up some damaged piping. Doc will have me right as rain in no time." The big man informed the concerned-looking little girls with a smile. 

Max could tell from his thoughts that he neglected to mention that he had fallen off the Mecha he was repairing at the time when it happened, possibly to hide the fact he wasn't wearing a fall arrest harness or a gravity device like regulations required.
