ReflectionsRen Richards spent the two days after their rescue in the Ruthie's Medical Centre. She suspected she was being kept an extra day to make up for the time she should have spent recovering after the Audrey made her a shish-ka-bob. Honestly, Ren didn't mind the rest (and it would take a whole mess of Audreys to get her to admit that) because she hurt. Her body was bruised almost everywhere and, thanks to a concussion, the inside of her skull pounded with a raging headache. A good soldier knew when to surrender to superior forces and for Ren, this was it.
Besides, convalescence provided her with time to think.
Dr. Whelan told her she was lucky to be alive, but Ren didn't need the Ruthie's CMO to state the obvious. She knew it. How many had died on Gaia? Olivia Hall, Tammy
