Helena Drew had been in the medic bay for hours, hoping that the doctors could figure out how her voice had been stolen. They had not helped her at all.
Doctor Sing had told her that her throat was inflamed, and they took some blood to run a few tests. Then they kept her in the medic bay with different doctors poking and prodding her.
In the end, none of them helped her and she was sent away.
When she went home to seek her husband, she found two base counselors waiting for her and they escorted her to the information center in the second wall, to the law office where all legal matters on the base were handled.
She was taken into an office and made to sit down. Her husband was in the office too, but they would not allow her sit next to him. He sat in a chair opposite of her, looking at the walls, window and everywhere else but her.
