Doctor doctor, gimme the news

After the meeting, and after some bickering with the Emergency Medical Hologram, down at the bottom of the Hub, Brainy is arranging the MedBay to his liking and familiarizing himself with the medical equipment and its functions.

Right now, for instance, as anyone walks in the door, he's wearing some sort of scanning goggles and a rather sinister-looking surgical glove with micro-scalpels, little lasers and surgical saws on the fingertips.

This makes him look like a green-faced Freddy Krueger with mad scientist goggles. For anyone that walks in like he instructed him to at the meeting, this is the first thing they see.

"Hmmmm."

And that all made perfect sense to Sparhawk.

"Thank you, neighbour," is his answer,a thoughtful expression set on his face. Evolution isn't something that's really thought highly of in his church, but it does explain a few things. If he's related to a Troll, then people can be green.

Thoughtful changes to rueful. "Just when I thought my life would be settling down again, I get brought here and discover there's more to the world than I thought. I had a hard enough time when Aphrael borrowed a ship from one of them. Does it get any easier?"

"Yes," he says, after some thought. "You grow used to variation and constant change. It has it's challenges, but what is life other than new sets of challenges that must be met?"

He looks through some of the other medical equipment.

"The results of those challenges matter less than how you meet them."

It's a very unscientific way to think--a very Legion way to think.

"I could do with a few less challenges in my life," Sparhawk grumbles quietly to himself. Perhaps once he's done whatever he has to do on this ship, the universe will let him alone. At least for a few years.

"That's where faith comes in," he notes, louder now. "God will see you right, seems to be one of the major teachings of all the faiths. At least, the ones that I'm familiar with."

This sort of philosophy isn't something that Sparhawk thinks about much. He's presented with a challenge, and he solves it, using what he has to. To him, as a knight of the church, its the results that are important. This rebellion put down, that king secured on his throne, that priest escorted. Challenges of the mind are harder for him, but at least he has good friends to help with that.
