IYA: "No discomfort, Mr. Hannes? None at all??"
KJK: "None. Like it's not even there."
IYA: "Unless your nerves are shot, your brain should be telling you that a plasma-burn the size of a football is on your shoulder. You're sure you don't feel anything?"
KJK: "I'm telling you, I don't feel anything."
[Door Opening]
RYQ: "Kijik. Iyana."
KJK: "Big brother."
IYA: "Uh- Sir!"
RYQ: "At ease."
IYA: "What brings you to sickbay, Sir?"
RYQ: "This one here."
KJK: "What? This some kind of joke?"
IYA: "Should I give you two some space, Sir?"
RYQ: "At your discretion, Ma'am."
IYA: "I'll put some foam on your brother's wound and be out of your way shortly, Sir."
RYQ: "Of course."

[Vanishing Footsteps]
RYQ: "You're getting sloppy."
KJK: "That's just mean."
RYQ: "You think I meant that as a joke? You really are getting sloppy, Kijik."
KJK: "So It was a joke."
RYQ: "..." - "So. What happened down there?"
KJK: "On Khepri?"
[...]
KJK: "The Vollons had a Revenant with them this time. They're getting bolder. The uh- *the Anathema* is giving them more power."
RYQ: "How can you be so sure? A Revenant is a larger threat- yes. But what makes *this* encounter stand out to you?"
KJK: "...They were organized. Much more than usual. They knew exactly where the Tear was, B-Lined for it. Ignored us on the ground, I'm convinced that's the only reason I'm alive, I should absolutely be dead."
RYQ: "It's no question that they were organized... R-322 is declared MIA. I'm waiting on concrete proof of vitals."
KJK: "If I may be so bold, 322 was never a clone that "Stood Out"."
RYQ: "Just because you are my brother, does not mean I will tolerate your... practices, forever."
KJK: "I'm just saying- 322 is a good match for what he does. Just not at fighting."
[AUDIBLE PUNCH, CRUNCHING]
KJK: "AUGH- MY NOSE!"
[AUDIBLE GRAPPLE]
RYQ: "Now you listen here and you listen well. R-322 Is unofficially presumed dead, post-Vollon invasion. He prevented the Vollon scum from reaching a Resonance Tear, by himself. You may have evacuated Khepri Station, but you didn't go down with the ship. R-322 Did."
KJK: "..."
RYQ: "Iyana! Fix this one's broken nose."
