Because there are so many fewer diversions on this station than on the previous one, Aegis takes to those that are offered with more of an open mind than she might have done before. For instance, she stays after personal combat sometimes, to watch Sue sparring with Howlett. Now and then she takes a turn herself. Today she's just supervising.

Sue's new best friend has a little problem with his jaw now, but as long as they're linking -
Oh, you think so, but you're always gonna think about it, gonna wish you'd let me one last time - kill me now and who'll ever want you? It'll get around, he killed the last guy who so much as touched him, not even desperate guys gone space-gay will look twice at you unless they want to get with your little friend when she grows tits - you'll die alone, little friend when she grows tits'll have her pick and there's no way she'd want a freak like you -

Sue's new best friend cannot breathe. He strikes out, but he's just flailing, now, eyes unfocused.

There are three minds in this room.
Sue's new best friend gets in a parting shot, dripping with malice. You sat there while I trashed her. She'll remember that.
Now there are two.

The medics arrive, and they split up to check each of the three bodies in the room, and declare Sue's new best friend to be Sue's dead best friend, and they load Aegis onto a stretcher and carry her away.
"You need the infirmary too," says one of the medics, looking Sue over. "Can you walk?"

"Need another stretcher over here," says the medic, and Sue is loaded onto it and carried down the hall after his - friends.

They're adjacent to each other in the infirmary. The other guy is in the makeshift morgue; he's not the first person to die on the station, although they don't have enough population to have a permanent setup for it.
They're treated for their injuries.
Aegis regains the ability to bird again after about an hour. you okay?
