Dawn Somewhere

Normally this would be illegal because you're not allowed to seize an entire business as an excuse to look for crimes, but if you can find anything at all that points back to Mercury, then you're in the clear given the broad warrant currently in play.

Unfortunately, your tech expert needs a little trip to the hospital, where Dr. Major is waiting to look him over.

Looks like that blow to the head wasn't as bad this time, but the doctor orders that you keep wearing that helmet because it saved your life twice now.

Okay.

Don't tell my mom, okay?

Dr. Major tells you, oh, no, everything that happens between us is in strict confidence.

Not a word slips out of this room if you don't tell someone yourself.

We have the same deal set up as a football team.

What kind of deal does a football team set up?

You know, confidentiality.

Knowing which players are injured and how could make a lot of difference to the commercial prospects of a team, so hospitals sign agreements with especially tight rules for football teams.

We had our own medical room at the HQ, but that's out of commission for a while.

Were you there when the building went down?

Oh, yeah, but I dug myself out of the rubble.

That must have been horrible.

Sorry, I shouldn't joke with trauma victims.

Oh.

Well, sorry I wasn't there.

Sorry doesn't fix anything.

I'm not mad, just to be clear.
