"Come in, come in, please go to the special room for treatment of burns. Let me clean the burn and apply burn cream while we wait for Eet. I put a call in to her to come here immediately so I am sure she will hurry right over", says Adorna to Kei-Lin.

Kei-Lin follows Adorna into the room and wonders what's going on back at the armory.

Eet "overhears" Kei-Lin's concern for his business as she enters the room. As Eet and Kei-Lin are old friends and housemates, Eet "listens in" to what is going on at the Armory as a favour to Kei-Lin as she examines Kei-Lin's burns (as she knows Kei-Lin's employees can be slackers). Eet, who pays bills immediately, is entertained that Optimus is intending to collect a bill from Eet that she is more than williing to pay! Eet laughingly passes this info to Kei-Lin and gets to work on Kei-Lin's burns.
Since Adorna has so kindly cleaned the burned area and applied burn cream there isn't too much damage. Eet removes the temporary bandages and closely examines the burned area. "Some of this is already healing", Eet tells Kei-Lin, but a small area was thoroughly burned and has dead skin over it now. I must remove the dead skin so the new skin underneath can grow properly. Removing the dead skin is very painful so I want to numb the area before I start by spraying a topical numbing agent on the affected area, then peeling the loose skin away and "sanding" (sort of) the parts which cannot be easily peeled. Should take about four hours. Then we will see if the pain is tolerable to you; we have several choices for analgesic (pain killers) and you can choose from them. Next we bandage the area and you must stay overnight for observation. After that we will see how you do and when you can leave".
Eet asks Adorna to ready one of the patient rooms for Kei-Lin, and arranges boring, safe meals for her patient.

Kei-Lin, cooperative as always, lay down and held still. While he waited for Eet to get her equipment together, he played video games on his mini-computer. Eet, who he saw was standing partly inside one of the closets where she stored her equipment, appeared to be looking at him with a curious look on her face. "The game's called 'Zombie Chickens'", he said. I based it on a real-life adventure that Darkfire and I were once on" While Kei-Lin was talking to Eet, the chicken on the screen beat him. Sighing with disgust, Kei-Lin turned his mini-computer off and put it away. Just waiting while Eet got her equipment was better than losing at Zombie Chickens! At least there was nothing bad going on in the Armory.

Adorna readies a recovery room and makes sure it has game capability on the TV screen. She readies a nutritious, boring hospital-food meal and a frozen Ginger-ale for Kei-Lin's recovery.

Since Adorna forgot to turn her telepathy off, Kei-Lin overhears the thoughts about ginger ale. Yum, I love frozen ginger ale, he thinks.

Eet finishes the treatment and asks Adorna to wheel Kei-Lin into the recovery room, watch over him for an hour or so, them ask him if he'd like the dinner/frozen drink.

Adorna wheels Kei-Lin into a comfortable room with a view and a selection of video games. When he is settled she waits an hour then brings the frozen ginger ale and the dinner.

Kei-Lin reached for the fork and promptly dropped it. It hurt to move more than he had expected. Growling to himself, he picked up the fork again and ate his dinner, then he ate the slushy ginger ale and pushed the tray to the opposite edge of the table.
His wrist computer was sitting on the other table, since he'd taken his wrist guard off before eating dinner. It suddenly started beeping. Kei-Lin let out a low, clicking growl, reached over, picked up his wrist computer, and turned it off. Then he fell asleep, all the strenuous work of being a warrior gone from his expression and out of his mind... at least until later.

Coming in his room to check on his recovery, Eet sees Kei-Lin peacefully sleeping. Eet tells Adorna to order him a breakfast if he likes; afterward he will be free to go.

Megatron puts the date and diagnosis into Kei-Lin's file in the computer. Then he looks at Kei-Lin's file. After which, he goes to talk to Eetie.
"Eetie, I think we should put kei-Lin in one of those cages in the basement for the nutters who are reckless and injure themselves on a regular basis", he tells her. "I was looking back in his file, and two weeks before this, he came in here with his combat staff stuck in his chest. About a month before that, he had slashes across his abdomen, probably from wristblades or another weapon sold in the Armory. And awhile before that, he came in here after he was apparently impaled by an Alien and swung across the room. His file looks suspicious."

"Megs", thinks Eet, "you haven't showed up to work for so long I forgot what you look like . There is nothing whatsoever wrong with Kei-Lin's attitude or outlook on life. He is a warrior and he sometimes sustains injuries in battle. When he is not fighting he is inventing; sometimes he sustains slight injuries from the testing process. We watch him carefully when he is here, as we would all patients, and I can assure you he is in excellent mental health."

Adorna orders breakfast for Kei-Lin after she wees he looks well, and waits for him to awaken before she serves it so he can eat it while it's hot.

Kei-Lin wakes up when he hears Megatron trying to put him in a psycho ward. Kei-Lin flares his mandibles. "RO-A-A-A-A-R!", he shouts. The roar echoes through the halls and wakes all the other patients up.
He gets out of bed and grabs his combat staff out of the corner. Then he limps into the main room, where he sees Megatron talking to Eet. Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish!, goes the combat staff, chopping Megatron's wires into little pieces.
Then he sees Adorna across the room. "Hello, Adorna", he says, leaning on his combat staff for support. The end of the combat staff cuts part of the floor.

"You had better fix that hole in the floor right now!", Megatron roars.
