The doctor nodded and checked her results before nodding in confirmation. “You have basically been starved of the parts of the spectrum you needed to keep yourself healthy, Kiiki.” Kiiki sighed, “That is what it feels like. How long will it take me to recover?” Back on Balen, with Harken standing in the corner and scowling at her, she felt far better than she had on Feliancour. Starbreaker was leading a science team to investigate the sickness in their star, but Kiiki was done with them. “I am ordering the Citadel to keep you at their base for no less than ten days. You are to soak in the light of Saru and do nothing else.” The doctor was serious. “Can I go now?” “Yes, but rest, good meals and lots of light. Your system is a shadow of itself.” Dr. Leaka waved her off, and she walked with Harken down the hall of the Balen Base. “I suppose this is goodbye for a few weeks.” She tried to be chipper, but he had been with her for longer than any being on record. She was going to miss him.
