Lasiter had left with the others, leaving both Carrhae and Matthew alone for
a moment.
"So, Healer how do you think things went?" she said, emotionally neutral
in voice, but still hesitant about leaving SPD in the middle of the current

"Better than I would have expected," he told her, "not as well as I would
have
liked." He frowned in thought. "The connection's gone dead. I have to
worry that
that means bad things for Celana. Hopefully it *doesn't* mean bad things
for
Samuel." He looked to her. "I worry about you going to Pacifica," he said.
"I
wish I could go with you."
"I wish you were able to come as well. But things being what they are..."
she trailed off for a second privately wishing that things could be very
different. For her and her old friend.
Returning to the here and now, "Do you feel comfortable with this
arrangement? Taking Samuel to the President to help explain the medical
side of things, and relieving him if he refuses to go through with it." she
asked completely regaining her normal business like composure.
