[ Rikki thought about going somewhere to do this anonymously, but what the hell, the people who matter are probably going to figure out (or worry) it's her anyway. So she's just sitting at her own console, face in her hands and not exactly looking at the screen. ]

So, uh... Oh, geez. [ Deep breath. ] Does anyone around here have pregnancy tests, or... I don't know, a way to tell with magic or something?

Please don't yell at me. I promise I'm kicking myself enough already.

Um.. about a week ago? I don't know what was in them, they were from one of the kedan.

[ ...Oh. That might affect things. ]

Could be... I know some drugs from back home can leave an aftereffect for that long and maybe longer, but if it's from the kedan, it might make things different. [ Different chemicals and all that, most likely. ]

Yeah. I figured it might be. But maybe it's not and... ugh. [ She rubs her forehead, grimacing. ] I'm sorry. I swear I'm not trying to dump all my problems on you or the network in general, just... also trying not to freak out.

Hey- no, it's cool. [ Hands up, trying to make sure she's calm. ]

I mean- not cool, but- it's okay to freak out a bit. If it does happen, then there're a bunch of people who can help here, right? [ Even Batma-.............

...

Wally takes that thought back. ]

Yeah. Yeah, there probably are. At least there's got to be a doctor around here who understands humans, right?

[ Deep, even breaths. She's cool. ...no she's not, but she's holding it together, at least. After a moment, she manages a weak smile. ]

Thanks. Just talking to someone who's not freaking out right now is nice.

[sciencewhizard]

There's someone named Soraniku Natu, actually- I dunno how well she knows humans, but she's dealt with at least four of them before she came here. [ He had no clue how many alien species she must have dealt with in the past as a doctor. ]

[withoutaworld]

Yeah? I'm... kind of bad at remembering new arrivals, so many people just... disappear, but I'll look her up. You know her?

[sciencewhizard]

Ehhh- kinda-sorta. She introduced herself to me when I first showed up. Though she's heard of a version of me from her universe. [ If that makes sense. ]
