With Khira in his arms Max steps in the elevator. " Code 10023." Immediately after he said that the doors close and the elevator goes up. Outside the planet awakes. The sun comes up and shines in Max’s face. They go up with great speed but inside the elevator time passes slowly. Max looks at the sleeping face of Khira, her face still twisted with pain. Max sighs, how can it be she is sleeping she must be in terrible pain.

The yellow circle on her shoulder flashes. " Khira what is going on, why didn’t you report in? Wake up darlin’." Raph’s voice sounds concerned. Max touches the circle and speaks softly. " This is Max Raph. I am taking Khira to the hospital she got hurt during the battle. Please sent a team down to the generator dome. We had an encounter with an old enemy of Khira. Joel and your back-up team are dead." His voice sounds sad. " Better get those bodies out of there before the wildlife wakes up. And the dome needs new guards Raph." Khira moves in his arms, she mumbles something but doesn’t wake up. "Max? What going on man, how is she?" Again Raph’s voice resounds in the elevator. " I’ll report in later and explain it to you. For now I have to get Khira to the hospital so that dr. Janour can fix her arm. Max and Khira out."

The elevator stops and the doors open swiftly. Noises fill the air. Another day has started in the Domes. People walk by on their way to their jobs in the large office buildings. Several transparent tunnels hang in the air. Busy traffic rushes through them. Max looks around and touches a button on his wrist. " 10023 in need of transportation, code red." Max waits a few minutes and then a low car like vehicle stops in front of him. The top side opens up and a robot looks up to him. Max lies Khira down in the car and programs the robot to take her to the hospital. " Message understood captain Lafir. Updates on the generals condition will be send to your chambers as requested." The roof closes and the vehicle flies up into the air. One of the tunnels opens and the robot can fly in. Max sighs and turns around. He needs some rest.

Khira starts to wake up. Her vision is still troubled but she doesn’t feel any pain. She looks around her and feels confused. " Hello Khira, I see you woke up. How are you feeling?" A warm voice talks to her. She can’t see clearly yet, all she sees is a vague shape standing next to her. " Where am I and how did I get here?" Her voice sounds so soft. She frowns and tries to remember what happened after the confrontation with Phoenix. Frustrated she hits the sheets with her fists. A burning pain runs through her wounded arm. Then she is pressed against the bed she lies in. " Calm down Khira. You are in Skylight Memorial. My name is dr.Dominic Janour and I fixed your arm. But it needs rest so allow it to heal further. You had several fractures in your arm. I reconstructed your whole arm, so it is as good as new but that doesn’t mean you can use it to the fullest. " Again the voice speaks to her. Now she sees who is talking. A young doctor smiles warm at her. His blond hair is too long and looks like it hasn’t been combed for days. He must be a busy man. The doctor calmly looks back at her and smiles again. " The High Council has ordered us to sent you to them as soon as you woke up. But I took the liberty to tell them you are under heavy drugs and won’t wake up for another day. That should give you enough time to rest general." Surprised Khira looks at him. " Thank you doctor, I need that. But if the High Council gives an order I better follow it. I already am in a lot of trouble with those idiots, forgive me for my language." Slowly she sits up and tries to ignore the pain in her head. The doctor scrapes his throat and blushes. Khira looks down and sees she is naked. Again she looks at the doctor. "Come on dr.Janour you must see hundreds of naked women every day." She laughs and stands up. Naked she slowly walks to the closet to get her clothes. The doctor looks at her in surprise and then he quickly turns around. "We got some stuff from your apartment you will find everything you need in there, just call the nurse if you need help. I must go to my next patient now." Quickly he leaves the room. Khira laughs and puts on a silk dress. She smiles softly. " I wonder who got these clothes, this is no outfit to wear in daytime. But I suppose it will do for now." Her wrist communicator lies next to her bed. She puts it on and sighs.
