[ Here's to hoping she will be his last, then, as she is confident given the time that she can at least keep him steady in his health. Fully reversing it is likely out of her skill range, but... She will do her best, as she ever has. It's gotten her along quite far in life before now. ]
You can just call me Angela; I'm not a terribly formal person. Do your therapy sessions always result in such an even trade, or do you feel any better given a few hours to recuperate?
[ Thane seems to know his way about the medbay by this point and he seats himself on the table the moment they step inside and she can close the door, letting her arm slip from his to fetch her rolling stool and have a seat before him, paging through his record as she speaks to have a more in-depth look at his workup. ]
I never had the chance to properly introduce myself, I realize, but back home I've spent half of my life researching nanobiology and technology; it essentially makes use of impossibly tiny machines that help repair damage to muscle, bone, and organs of the human body. They redirect blood flow, knit tissue back together, eradicate bacteria and I have even had some minor progress in stabilizing mutating cells such as those present in cancer, but that is all still far too soon to call a success. They're all made of biodegradable proteins that the body can absorb within hours— or at least, for those with human physiology.
I'm rather confident that given the time and a chance to figure out how your body works, I can help repair the damage already done, and perhaps even strengthen your lungs long-term. I just want to be clear that you're comfortable with the technology I would be using and understand that I will be entirely certain it will work with tissue samples before I ever turn it on you; I'll ensure no complications.
If I understand correctly, this is largely an issue with your lungs retaining the moisture from humid climates, yes? Are any of your other organs affected?
[ Death by gradual asphyxiation... is not a pleasant thing, by any stretch. No one should ever have to suffer in such a way; her determination is put into her words, her confidence bolstering her claims as best she can. She wants him to know that, even as utter strangers, she will fight for him and do her utmost. ]
And my last question— have our anesthetics been working for you? I want to be able to numb where I will collect tissue.
