Carlisle was impressed by the readings and the helpfullness of the 'system'. He made notes in her chart about the readings, hoping that Dr. Ryan would be able to make heads or tails from them. He moved on...
"Can you show me the cellular regeneration rates and nurtient osmosis at the sites of the skin grafts, please? I would also like to do a visual inspection of the graft sites.", he asked. Finally getting to what he really had wanted to check on.
[Of course, Doctor.] The monitor wiped clean again, and read [Average cellular regeneration is currently at 200 cells per minute. 57% of affected area has been repaired. At the current rate, 100% completion of cellular regeneration and neural reintegration will take an additional 26.32 hours.] The screen gave him several numbers listing the cellular regeneration rates by the hour and the progress of reintroducing the necessary blood vessels and neurons to the skin surface. [Nutrient osmosis has been inhibited in the affected area until further repairs have been made]
The pod shifted again, stating [Equalizing environment] and vibrating slightly. Through the viewing window, it was apparent the inner chamber was draining of fluid. Once empty, the outer layer around morphing away seamlessly to expose her head. This revealed several slender, tentacle-like things attached to her in various locations around head and neck, connecting her to the interior of the pod. If one watched long enough, it seemed there were miniscule objects, no bigger than grains of sand, travelling swiftly to and from Celana along those tentacles.
