The ship landed on the grounds of family Strong, the doctor was busy gathering all the equipment she needs to do the treatment and her student was still examining the photos with help of the ship's AI, the student deduced a few documents and handed it to the doctor, the doctor was not very satisfied by outcome of the documents.
"Mister Dennis, please lead the way to you men, we need to hurry, things are not looking well for them and i need to perform the treatment very quickly" and with that he didn't make them wait anymore and rushed the doctor and her assistant, he gave few commands through his wrist band, probably to open the main gates to the second forge, the ill-men are lying the second forge.
The doctor made her way behind Dennis and she is talking to her assistant about the treatment they are going to do and it is clearly evident on the face of her assistant that she is nervous about the procedure that doctor had informed and at last after few minutes of walking they reached the second forge.
The doctor laid her eyes on the men that are lying on the bed and groaning in the pain that is caused by the petals, and she instructed Dennis to arrange a big open room and she called the ship's AI to bring the equipment that was listed by her, and the ship is on it's way and she said to Dennis "please bring hot water and lots and lots of clean towels and after that i don't want anyone in this room, i want everyone out" she declared, Dennis replied "i will arrange the hot water and towels, but why we need to get out of the room, we can help" the doctor replied "the virus on their skin is very dangerous and it can travel through the air, and if that affects you, you all will have the same fate as these men of yours, and i clearly know that you don't want this, so get out of the room".
The got her equipment from the ship and she got the hot water and lot's towel from the family and she instructed her assistant to clean the exposed body that was affected by the petals with hot water, the doctor wore her robes, the robes she wore when she is doing the serious surgery, the doctor and her assistant are ready, and when Dennis told his grandfather that the doctor wants them out of the room, he respected the decision of the doctor but still wants see what she was doing to them so he arranged cameras in the room the doctor was operating, the doctor observed the cameras and with a annoyed sigh inwardly she thought in her mind "you all are going to hate seeing this".
The doctor started the treatment and it took nearly mid-night for her perform the procedure on all the men, the total of affected men were thirteen, and when she was done, she burned all her robes and the skin she peeled from the bodies of the men.
"well done, doctor" complimented the assistant, the doctor smiled at her said "you were a great help today Percy and without you i couldn't have pulled this off and this is all going to be in your report" and she responded with "oh my, you flatter me doctor and i didn't do it because of the report", the doctor smiled and patted her head.
The doctor and her assistant had gone out of the room and then all the Strong family came rushing towards them and asked how it went and she said "the surgery wen well and i expect a full recovery of them in two to three months, their skin needs to heal".
"but, doctor what is this disease?" asked Dennis, and with a long and exhausted sigh she said "first i need to regain my strength and by regaining my strength means i and my assistant needs to eat!" the doctor exclaimed and then the grandfather of Dennis and lord of the Strong family Silvester laughed loudly and said "we, the Strong family are in great debt to the doctor and it is a great pleasure to dine with the doctor" they lead them to the dining hall of the Strong family and then the doctor and her assistant Persephone were astonished by the items that were on the table, and seeing all the items, Percy started to name the items what anyone should not eat much, the doctor with another pat on her head said "it is alright, Percy you can eat anything as much as you like, since it is only for one day so it won't be a problem" and she said "oh my, thank you doctor, i will do so".
They all sat at the dining table the head of table seat was occupied by Silvester and to his right side sat the doctor and to his left side with leaving a few seats between doctor and head of the Strong family, she decided to give them privacy to speak and then beside her came after hew minutes Dennis, he sat beside her and he wanted to apologize for his wrong ill-ed question, he was now watching Percy very closely and his cheeks went bright red, and observing that she said "oh my, you face is bright red, should i check you temperature and with that she placed her hand on the forehead of Dennis, and this made him jump from his seat and made his metal glass fall on the ground and that caught the attention of the doctor and Silvester and he asked "is everything alright? Dennis" and he replied "yes, grandfather" and he resumed his talk with the doctor.
"what you did that for?" asked Dennis still his face bright red and then she replied "oh my, i am sorry, i just wanted to check you temperature since you face is bright red" and then he was taken aback for her apology and when he finally wanted to say sorry for his behaviour, the doctor said "let's go Percy" and then he was again taken aback for the sudden intrusion of the doctor.
"spend the night, doctor, it is very dead in the night" said Silvester, but the doctor said "it's alright, and also we need to report the situation to the principle" and with that they are ready to leave and then Dennis said to Percy "bye, safe travels" and she nodded to the greeting and they took off to the school.
Dennis long stared at the ship that long gone on it's way.
