Medical assessment
Novicheck scans Eastcott's brain and finds significantly increased serotonin and activity in the anterior insular cortex, with neural connections sixteen percent above the captain's previous routine scan. Though he identifies no immediate threat to physical health, he discusses temporary relief of command with Sarah Dimple and asks her to monitor any unusual behavior.[1][2]
Serilda's treatment
Eastcott warned Novicheck that Frey was bringing Serilda to the infirmary. Her brain activity was minimal, and the doctor could not immediately say whether she would recover.[4]
