Chương 68: Chapter 68: Reminders Part 1

Our group slows to an approach as it comes into view -

Behind the glass wall, motionless bodies lie atop the metal beds, a team of Dofinikes in custard coats passing between them, odd instruments in their hands. They stop at different beds, examining every patient.

I focus on the closest occupied bed.

A girl with long brown hair, nearly the same length as mine, lies asleep - or is it unconscious? - her belly a swollen mass, as if someone cut it open and slipped in a bowling ball. Suddenly her body starts to twitch, drawing the attention of the nearest scientist. Approaching, he scans the change and extracts a long, thin instrument, rounded like a half-moon and places it over her belly. Two pincers emerge, pushing into her flesh to create a streaming waterfall of red.
