Quinn flinched as Roaki reached once again into her face, tapping against the fragment of metal once again. She resisted the urge to twitch at the odd sensation, but she was busy thinking anyway. Thinking about how she ended up with [i]modium in her head.[/i] And, more importantly, Roaki was right. It was...[i]weird.[/i] She'd never experienced the disastrous effects of modium herself, but she'd seen Dahlia in pain from growths; she'd learned that she'd needed to get her eyes replaced because of them. Even just looking at Roaki was proof that it was dangerous and [i]aggressive.[/i]

So if so, then...how was it just...sitting there? If it really had been responsible for the loss of her eye, then it would have been there for years. And that didn't [i]happen.[/i] Modium didn't just [i]sit there.[/i] So now not only was she very upset, she was upset and [i]confused.[/i]

"[color=ec008c]Maybe it’s not really modium? Has that freak doctor seen it yet?[/color]"

Quinn opened her mouth to reply, then...closed it again. Stilled.

"[color=ffe63d]I guess...I guess he would've had to, since he's the one who...[/color]" [i]He's the one that did the modioscory on me.[/i] Doctor Follen would've [i]had[/i] to see it, wouldn't he? It was the only thing that made sense. Which...made even [i]less[/i] sense, because if Quinn had really carried a piece of modium in her head since she was a kid, then that made being a pilot [i]absurdly[/i] dangerous, right? Horrifically so, the second she got into the Savior she could've exploded into a pile of metal tumors. So...

She sighed heavily and dropped her head, tightening her teeth as she locked her emotions down so they didn't carry her away with them. Besca. She could ask Besca about it. About him.
