Zouichi nodded. "Where I come from, it's possible for people to regenerate their limbs. I've seen it happen -- a young girl with a severed leg was able to reattach and reintegrate it with the rest of her body in seconds, with no ill effects."

"And I'm sure I can't be the only one with experience with that kind of rapid regeneration ability. I'm surprised no one bothered to ask any of us whether the biotechnology we were already familiar with could be used to help the people on the ship."

He glanced back at Hana. "Rory? He's one of the nurses in Medical, right? I'd be fine with taking whatever technology we need from these people -- they've been building nice, happy lives for themselves using other people to do their dirty work."
