“Captain Jin.” The newest War Maiden of the Grey Bear Squad stood right in front of his seat and gave him a perfect salute.
“Private.” Jin returned the salute with a nod since he was in no condition to move around after being strapped down by Nie to take as much blood as possible..com
“Firstly, I heard from Sergeant Yinn and the others about the situation that we are in and how we got here, especially for the fact that how I got to be recreated by a master Mecha Smith. I like to close all misunderstandings with regards to the old Jin and start on a new page from today onwards.”
“Likewise Private Page. I have no qualms with you and I hope that you will be a welcome addition to the Squad as well.” Jin said as he asked her to have a seat beside her. As much as Old Fammet wished to use an extra hand immediately, it was pure courtesy for her to have some time with her commander and get things sorted out.
“Here, I have managed to scourge some energy drinks from the refrigerator. It should assist you with your recovery since you are giving out more blood than permitted.” Page said as she placed them right beside him. And before Jin could say anything, Page interrupted him.
“Yes, I know you are an outsider but your current vitals and scan analysis from my point of view is that you still have the build of a regular human. There is still a limit how much you can give.” Page said as she placed her hand on Jin’s arm and without directly intervening using needles or diagnostic scans, she was able to have all the information needed about Jin’s body.
This was the power of a Medic War Maiden which was supposed to be present in every squad to ensure that they could take care of the Commander as well as her teammates. “Your blood volume had been reducing to unacceptable levels and your bodily functions are below optimum values. I honestly suggest that you stop hurting yourself and rest for a day to recuperate before attempting to donate any more blood for the creation of this… close combat War Maiden.”
Jin chuckled as he saw how concerned this Medic War Maiden had for him. “Looks like I have a lot of fun for her if she is overbearing concerned for me.” He thought to himself as he laid his down even further on the couch.
“Then what about I show you a trick?” Jin said as he told her not to leave her finger away from him. Page had no idea what he was on about until he took a deep breath in and she could sense that his blood pressure was moving rapidly.
Suddenly, all the vitals went haywire for a moment and she suddenly saw Jin’s body vibrating. What was more surprising was that there were some sort of wiggling movement under the skin and Jin went from chilling into a state of condition where he was attempting to hold his sanity in check.
“What is happening?!” Page asked but Jin told her not to worry. “How can I not worry when your vitals were raging like the waves of the sea>”
“Just give …it a minute.” Jin said as he held onto the couch tightly and tolerated the pain of those wiggling throughout his whole body. Page immediately tried to do a full scan of his body by calling out two hexagon plate modules flying out from the back of her neck. She then lifted her palm out and emitted radiation while the plate modules extended and turned into a detector to receive the X Rays so that she could have a full image of what is happening within Jin.
But as she scanned her, the image were fuzzled as if there were no such person in the area she did her X Ray. Then all of a sudden, Jin was back to normal as if the worst had passed and told Page to try checking him again.
While the Medic War Maiden was skeptical, but after seeing such a sight, she could not help herself but complied to the orders. Lo and behold, his vitals were back to normal and everything could never been healthier, as if whatever she scanned previously was a scam.
“…How did you even do that?” Page asked and Jin even give her the permission to scan him which Page refused this time around. “My instruments do not lie. If your body is of perfect health, there is no reason to subject you to unnecessary radiation.”
“Now you believe that I am an outsider?” Jin was relieved to know that his physical traits were still working perfectly fine and was partially afraid that he got to listen to Page’s orders if he was not able to activate the regeneration charm effect.
“Alright, but that does not mean I would not continue looking after you. Will still check on you periodically.”
“I have no qualms with that.” Jin said as he now posed a question to the medic. “Then Page, mind enlightening me, how do you save the War Maidens? And if you are not serving that role, what do you usually do?”
“Oh… That.” Page said and shouted out to Click. “You free to show Jin some demonstration?”
“Huh? Sure!” Click was dying to get out of the menial tasks that Old Fammet asked her to do as she quickly dropped everything and showed a demonstration for Jin.
“You remembered how Yinn showed you a one time 3D printer that allows us to print anything anytime?” Click asked and Jin nodded his head.
“Basically, I can do that as well. But because of my previous military rank, I can only do so much as to print temporary War Maiden parts for use. Its durability is terrible but it should hold for a while.” Click said as she touched the edge of her ears, and soon nanomachines were seen flying out of her ears and started to pour miniature lasers on a specific point.
Those lasers eventually grew something out and as the shape became more concrete, Jin could see that it was building up a hand.
“Page could do that as well and when we combined our nanomachines, it will be much faster to create temporary replacements.” Click explained.
“But for me, I not only be able to create temporary replacement parts but also concoctions that would be suitable for human consumption.” Page said as her nanomachines flew out of her neck and created a set of multivitamins for Jin to consume.
“Wow… okay.” Jin said as he picked them up, and though it was a little suspicious, he chewed on them.
“With higher ranks, I would be able to create things that would be harmful against the Mechanoids as well. But for now, I hold an assault rifle, sometimes a grenade launcher and do damage to our enemies.
“Well, sometimes offense is the best defence. If you can kill someone before they tried to hurt you, that’s a plus as well.” Jin said and Page nodded with affirmation. It looked like she could get along with this ‘new’ commander of hers.
