It's very slow going but there might be some response. 

The scientist pays all of this no regard, on the fourth page of his handwritten notes about the protomolecule's use of language.

Eventually Nayoki pulls herself away, after Emril complains that you’re not supposed to do that much Healing to brains at once, it’ll give him cancer. 

They’re not back in Gate-range yet, so she heads over to explain what they’ve learned from questioning the scientists - and what her people saw in their brains - to Holden and the crew. 

“Do you want to drop your captive spy in the lab too?” she adds. She’s picked up a lot of their language by this point, far more than any of the others.

"Uh, yeah, I guess, better than having him on the ship. Make sure he hasn't got wi-fi, first, unless we want the UN up to speed on all of this. - which I think we don't want them hearing whatever random transmissions their spy sends? We should tell everyone what's going on but all at once, so there's common knowledge -"

"Makes sense. Do you want us to bring the computer cores to the ship when we do the Gate, so you can look at their records?" 

"Yeah, sure. I dunno if we'll be able to read them - depends what state they were in when you grabbed everything - but Naomi should be able to figure it out."

"All right." 

The security personnel on site can be questioned-plus-mindread about wifi and how to make sure that the spy won't have access to it, and everyone assembled for the Gate. 

Hauling Leareth through a Gate will require unhooking him from the autodoc, however briefly, and a period before they can get him to whatever machines are on the other side. Emril is very very stressed about this! Especially because who knows if the Proto might spontaneously decide to start doing Gates from his reserves again!

They are, however, ready to do the transfer very fast. They'll do two Gates, even though this is in some sense less efficient, it's better than trying to cram everyone including the deliberately-brain-damaged scientists and the spy into the Proto-contaminated medbay. 

One of the Healers approaches the human test subject and explains that they're going back to the lab, but that they're in charge now and they're definitely not handing him back to the custody of the scientists who did this to him.

And Emril explains the plan to Julie. :We're not expecting you to walk or anything - we'll have people carry you across once it's time. You'll need to be off the oxygen for a little bit but it shouldn't be more than a couple of minutes: 

And then they're in range. 

Nayoki raises Gate #1, from the cargo area to the hallway outside the Proto containment pit. She's not totally feeling recovered from her last frantic sprint of heavy-duty magic, but she can manage and then take a nap or something. 

The mage left behind on site has managed to reach the hospital wing, and raises a Gate from there to the medbay. First order of operations is handing the computer cores across. 

Emril confirms that they're uncontaminated by any Proto, and gets one of the people with Fetching to move them out of the medbay so she doesn't have to decontaminate and be let out, and then she joins the team hauling an unconscious Leareth across. 

Nayoki doesn't have a Gate-location in the hospital wing but she can get instructions from the scientists and hurry them in that direction.

It's bigger than the one on the ship and has more beds and more machines. It also has a glass back wall and a viewing area with cameras, speakers, and a clear view of the patients.

That's ALSO creepy but not surprising at all given the context she already has. And it's got enough beds for all three of their infected people. 

She carefully supervises the scientists with medical qualifications in getting their patients tucked into beds and hooked up to monitoring; probably they don't want to kill the patients, that would ruin the opportunity to study them, but Nayoki is dubious that left to themselves they would try very hard to make the patients' experience pleasant. (Not that Leareth would care, right now, he's still unconscious and trailing ventilator tubing which Emril is frantically trying to reconnect to the right machine as fast as she can. 

The other scientists are welcome to hang out in the viewing area if they want? Nayoki puts a mage in charge of guarding them to make sure they stay there and don't get to wander the lab freely. They can have notetaking devices though. 

She delegates to one of the other mages the task of hauling their spy off to an area of the lab where he definitely won't have wifi access. They can keep him under a small version of the signal-jamming shield they threw up over the whole lab during the attack, in the interim, but it's pretty tiring to maintain and not a good long-term solution. 

... 

Finally everything seems to be roughly going according to plan, and Nayoki finds a chair in the hospital bay and flops next to Leareth's bed. 

Eventually another of the mages finds her. 

"- Their leader is still en route. They were expecting him in...about thirty Earth hours?" 

Ughhhhhhh.

Nayoki would really like to make this Leareth's problem once he's awake and lucid again. She's tired of everything being on her. Unfortunately, she doesn't know when that would be, and there are time-sensitive decisions to be made here. 

"Is there any way we could - fool him into thinking everything is normal, get him to approach close enough that I can blind-Gate to his ship...?" 

"I really doubt it," the mage says unhappily. "Uh, some comms got out. We couldn't keep the jamming shield up when we started having to take down the missiles. Also I think - well, the security staff were thinking - the missiles would've been visible from pretty far out. And the damage from where they hit, too." 

Nod. Nayoki wraps her fingers around Leareth's limp hand. Closes her eyes for a brief moment. 

"Please pass on to the Roci that they have about thirty hours to decide whether to make a transmission and do that, before someone else arrives here. ...Can you find out how far away the missiles would have been visible from. If Earth or Mars saw it they might send people as well." 

Sure, he can pass all of that along to Holden-and-crew by using the protomolecule as a Mindspeech relay again. 

And Nayoki waits, still keeping an eye on the lab's medical staff to make sure they're behaving. 

Emril is trying to get Julie properly caught up on the many, many recent events. 

Julie was feeling kind of okay until she tried being off oxygen for two minutes, and now she feels like shit. "-m'dad's coming?"

:Apparently! Nayoki wants to try to kidnap him too but he - probably knows something happened to the lab, an alarm signal got sent and he would've seen the missiles. I don't know what he'll do: 

Pause. 

:- Would he be more likely to talk to you? Um, only if you're up for that, of course -: 

"Dunno. I - don't really have anything to say to him. He - shouldn't've done this. They'll arrest him. Probably. Once they -" Cough. "Once people know."

Emril is getting pretty worried about Julie again! The move was really hard on her - it wasn't great for Leareth either, his blood pressure did a scary dip when he was briefly disconnected from the autodoc's supply of IV drugs, but the Proto seems not to have messed quite so badly with his lungs. 

:It's okay: she says reassuringly. :We're going to make sure people know. He's - not going to be able to keep hurting people, anymore:

Well. Maybe. Last she checked in, the others were still trying to drag out of the scientists where this 'Thoth' facility has its own protomolecule samples, and she feels like she can't rule out that Jules Pierre Mao might have done something - desperate - in response to the lab alarm and the missile threat - 

Emril asks one of the scientists whether he agrees with the autodoc's previous assessment that Julie is going to need a lung transplant. They were trying to put off doing it on the ship, it seemed really hard. 

"A transplant delays death by four, maybe five hours, in the average case. It's really only of interest if you're evaluating whether the protomolecule's pattern of colonization is repeatable within a patient - it has more similarities than its pattern of colonization across patients does. She developed infection primarily in the lungs? What was the time and manner of infection?"
