Hello, dear! *The nurse sitting behind the counter is motherly and slightly overweight. When she sees Blackout's ID card she checks the list on the counter and nods, smiling*
Miss Bauman, welcome! You're looking for room 7, the fourth door on the left, straight down the hall. Doctor Bailey should already be there.

*The doctor turns around when she enters, giving her a warm smile and patting the back of an examination chair* Have a seat, Miss Bauman. I'll be your primary care physician while you're here. Glad to see you found your way. This shouldn't take more than an hour; you've already had a complete check-over during the course of your rehabilitation, so this appointment is really just for the specialized things. Specifically - *picking up a folder from the counter, he flips to the front page* - regarding your eyes. I understand you've got some sort of anomaly? We'll be starting with some basic scans. Nothing invasive and nothing painful; you just need to sit still while the machines do their thing.

*i sit down in the examination chair* yes, I believe it had something to do with the radiation out in the Zones. *i lean back and hold still for the scans*

*The doctor chats while he works - not about anything particularly important, just to keep the conversation going. He takes four different types of scans with three machines, and does a visual inspection. Some of the results are written down, while others are sent to a lab for analysis. Pausing to write down another observation, he comments* I don't see any of the dramatic coloration referenced previously, though I'm certainly getting some unusual results. It could be triggered by other stimuli, like air toxicity or hormones. But we have plenty of time to figure it out. Radiation does see to be the most likely explanation - were you in a bunker during the war, or some other sort of shelter?

*my eyes stay their normal light grey color for most of the tests and and darken to almost black during a few, quite the opposite of the bright gold color from before being brought back to BLI* well if I wasnt then I probably wouldn't be here, now would I? And I remember that my eyes most often were triggered by moments of adrenaline.

*The doctor chuckles* Well, some people ended up in shelters that were good enough to protect them overall, but not completely radiation-proof. And adrenaline? Interesting... *He scribbles a note down, then looks back up* I'd like to test that, if you don't mind. Just a small injection, and the effect will only last a moment or two.

*The doctor measures out a half dose, administers the shots, and quickly sets the first type of scan in action* Make sure to tell me if you feel any physical or mental changes. Ordinarily, you shouldn't feel anything for more than a few seconds with a dose that small, but since we don't know exactly what we're dealing with, it's hard to tell.

*my eyes stay their normal grey color for a second until the adrenaline takes effect and they darken to almost black, but also a spark of gold appears for a split second. I grip the chair so I dont get up and do anything stupid from the sudden rush*

Fascinating... *Doctor Bailey watches her eyes closely, then turns to the scan results when the effects fade.* Very interesting. You're right, adrenaline is a direct trigger. It wasn't enough to get a strong reading, though, just a hint... I'd like to try again with a stronger dose, if you don't mind. It will last between 10 and 15 minutes, and may be a bit uncomfortable. You're completely safe here, though.

I don't mind at all Doctor. *something then pops into my head and I think about it for a moment* could you also maybe perform a test of my eyes in limited to no light?

Sure can. Two of the scans work just as well in darkness. *He measures out the dosage, and sets up the equipment again* Any particular reason for the request?

*The doctor smiles* Well that's good enough for me. Here's the second shot, then. *He administers the dose with a practiced ease, then sets the syringe back on the tray and flicks off the lights*

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
