As they came out of hyperspace, Luke spoke into the communicator. "Koda Station, this is Jedi Order Shuttle Elenium, requiring med center attention, Code Red."
"Shuttle Elenium, the pattern is clear. Proceed to Docking Bay 24. A med team will meet you there. Please transmit vitals."

Luke and Naluma waited many hours for Ben to come out of surgery. The sterile, white walls and the hard-backed seats of the waiting room only added to their unease. After drinking water and eating a few bites of a ration bar, Naluma's nausea returned with a vengeance.

A female human med tech, petite with dark brown hair and golden skin, said, "Yes?"
"Med Tech Kohlni, is it?" he asked, looking at her badge. "Do we have any idea how much longer Padawan Solo will be in surgery?"
