Down and Out
31 Oct 2021Iridium Nova
I've been in and out of consciousness for almost a day, I think. The hospital ship I'm on is the Saint of Achenar, but I'm not sure where we are. I'm sure I've felt at least three jumps in my more coherent moments. I've been sick before but never like this. The doctors aren't telling me much but sometimes I overhear them. They're saying this virus isn't like anything they've ever seen. It's finding ways to avoid and adapt to the most advanced treatments they can throw at it. I told them they could use progenitor cells if needed. They know I can afford it. Hell, I even offered to replenish their stock once I'm spaceborne again. Either they didn't respond or I passed out and missed it. They say it's a smart virus, whatever that means, so I told them to try reasoning with it. We had a good laugh at that one. The doctors have a sense of humor but they shouldn't quit their dayjobs. They told me that humor will help with keeping my immune system fighting. Doctors have been saying that for 5000 years. They should get some new material.Tired now zzzzz
