Lucas Ryan shrugged, mystified. "It's not exactly something I've seen
before. The person best-equipped to say anything is Dr. D'amondra, but I
haven't heard from her since she left on that temporary assignment."
M'Rrenn had not heard from Markus Garibaldi either, and he should have
come into contact with D'amondra. He made a mental note to check in on
them.
Sulin nodded. "If you'll allow, Admiral," she asked.
"Please proceed." Lasiter responded.
Sulin approached Lasiter, and carefully, gently touched his head. They
became one mind, and the gentle probing began, just as it had before.
The link was still there, but it was strangely quiet. As if the plumbing
was there, but nothing was flowing. The Healer confirmed the block, but
could not say specifically what it was that was doing it. All in all, what
Dr. Ryan was saying was confirmed.
