Being sick wasn't something that happened.

Given the nature of his ㅡ and the others ㅡ existence, illness wasn't something that really existed in Tech's wheelhouse of possibility. Any and all issues he'd ever come across for him or the others had been brief and the direct fault of their surroundings on different planets.

So with this, Tech had to admit he was out of his depth. A little, maybe. Reading about illnesses was one thing, coming up with theoretical solutions ㅡ seeing it in real time was another.

"Sit up a little, if you can," Tech said, watching the brief struggle to do so before he leaned to help, keeping his touch gentle. "I'll be taking your temperature again, and then see about administering medication."
