After the Exam

<snip>
"Erm... nevermind." Jacky responded.

Phi got to work.

"Well..." Jacky began. Phi turned around, impatiently. "Jay kind of... shattered his legs and back in front of me. They grew back. Others saw it happen later on."

"Well, yes. I've been meaning to talk to him about that. It's on a need-to-know basis." she explained.

"He could die." said Jacky.

"Of course not, he'll be fine!" Phi lied.

"I heard you talking to him when we were in the cages, Phi." Jacky said. "I didn't let him know, but I heard you."

Phi stopped, silently. She turned to Jacky, and pulled him aside to an empty corner of the medibay.

After Jacky left Phi came back to Jaxx to begin her exam. Jaxx looked at Phi and asked, "I take it that order includes me as well Doc?" Phi looked up at Jaxx with a little shock then realized his senses are would be enhanced like his body. Phi looked at Jaxx and responded, "Yes. I suppose you Marines are sticklers for the rules. Mr. Jaxx let me give you bit of advise." Jaxx smiled at Phi and and answered, "Yes Ma'am." Phi looked at Jaxx and said, "First off you scare the smeg out of everyone here. So try not to go on any eating frenzys if you can. Second this crew is not a standard military ship so ease up on the regulations. The crew has been through a lot and you come off as a loose cannon. And third I would love to see the lab you came from. You are a fantastic specimen and that research should not go to waste." Jaxx looked at Phi and smiled, "Ok. Holly give only the Doc here access to my lab." Holly appeared on the watch, "Ok Master Chief." Then Holly faded away. Jaxx then said, "You know doc if you know anything about growing creatures in a lab you might want to consider cloning some of the sharks in stasis for extra food. Since I was the only MACO left I bet their are a lot of supplies left in their."

Phi said with a smile, "Very well then lets begin with your likes and dislikes."
Jaxx looked at Phi and said, "Well I like eating, fighting and playing virtual games. Try not to read to much into me Doc. I'm a very simple guy."

"Alright Mr. Jaxx, you're free to go." Phi said, scribbling her final notes on a clipboard.

"Alright!" Jaxx said, excitedly.

"A word of advice..." Phi began. "You'd better do as Cass says and meet up with her."

"...Why?" Jaxx asked.

"Cass knows what she's doing. If she needs to see you, you'd best cooperate." Phi explained.

"...Alright." Jaxx agreed, leading himself out the door.

Jaxx picked up his gear and headed out the door past the few remaining patients. Jaxx closed his eyes and took a big whiff and smiled as he began following Cassandra's scent. Jaxx continued down the path to catch up with Cassandra as messed with his music library on his belt. Suddenly he found a song he liked. Then Jaxx danced down the hall on his way to find Cassandra.

(PETER GABRIEL"Shock The Monkey")

Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey
