Fellis awoke a few hours later in his bed on the X-70B Phantom. Doctor Lokin was at his side, he didn't remember the Doctor being on the ship when Lana, Senya and Koth rescued him. He imagined if the Doctor was here it was because he had needed him.

"Ah, you're awake, good. I need to run a few more tests. I've administered some medication, and I'm giving you a vitamin stim. I suggest you take things easy for a few days." The Doctor finished his scans, placed the data pad down then went to work on the vitamin stim that he prepared for Fellis.

"Where am I and is this necessary?"

"Odessen, and yes, it is. Your body is healing with the help of the medstim. The vitamin stim is necessary, I've told you this before and now I'll insist you get back into a regiment."

Fellis rolled his eyes, "Doctor I don't need vitamins."

"Chiss have a higher metabolism than most humanoid species. The vitamin mixture gives you the nutrients you need to keep up with your metabolic rate." Doctor Lokin took hold of Fellis' arm and gave him the vitamin stim in the bicep.

Fellis rubbed his arm, the stims hurt. He suppose it was because he was weak from using Valkorion's powers.

"Alright my boy, I've instructed HK-51 to prepare high protein meals for a few days and he has the vitamin stims that I want you to inject until you are feeling better."

"Doctor .."

"No, you will do as I say," Lokin gave Fellis a stern look, he wasn't going to coddle or appease him. "The Alliance needs you, you are in command and that means you need to be healthy." Doctor Lokin wasn't usually this authoritative with him and his behavior surprised him.

"Is there something you aren't telling me?"

"Perceptive as alway Cipher." Lokin settled his arms on his knees, he looked down while collecting his thoughts.

"Remember when we were on Quesh. You inspected a chemicals factory looking for dimalium-6."

Fellis nodded.

"Administrator Kroius didn't have it but gave you information and materials to acquire what you were looking for." Lokin smiled sadly, "You killed Kroius and destroyed the robot assistants he had in his laboratory. I recall saying to you, that I didn't understand what went through your mind."

"I remember."

"Now, I understand." Lokin turned toward Fellis, "I'm going to run a search on all of the exceptions we've made. Keep an updated file, search for any signs of an issue that may need our attention. I'll let you know, if anything should be done." Lokin didn't want to systematically take out everyone they had let go, but he wanted a better eye on their enemies.

Lokin and Fellis stared at each other in awkward silence, when the moment of unspoken regret passed, he affectionately patted Fellis' leg, then left the room.
