Aryn Teth
Hellwalker
Soporose; (ad.) characterized by abnormally deep sleep.
Enough time had passed that the scrambling had stopped. From being pulled from the rubble to the initial first aid and all the way back to Geonosis, Aryn had been surrounded by doctors, healers, droids and all manner of personnel who had sought to assess and treat him. It was impressive just how much effort the personnel seemed to be going to in order to help him, had he been conscious for any of it - he might have reasoned that it was more due to who his wife was than any other reason. There was one thing everyone knew quite clearly about the Confederacy - the sorrow or wrath of Srina Talon was something to be feared, and clearly, these doctors understood that wrath would be theirs to deal with if they allowed her husband to die.
Yet, even days later, it was becoming clear that all that the medical staff in the Citadel had exhausted what they were capable of doing for Aryn. Bacta was by all accounts a marvel for its ability to promote healing, but it was not capable of miracles. For days, Aryn had remained suspended in a tank, taken out only briefly each day for monitoring and other necessary surgeries to remove shrapnel, but the worst of his injuries remained, and it was beginning to dawn on the doctors what the reality of the situation was, one they were only now starting to explain to [member="Srina Talon"] with a clear hint of hesitation.
"To put it plainly, Exarch - even if he remained in the tank, there's no way we can know that his injuries would fully heal. He will survive certainly, but what we have access to here is just too limited for this level of trauma." A chart of scans was shown to the Echani exarch. Aryn's spine had been shattered, as had his shoulders and most of the bones in his arms. His left femur had snapped, his nerve-endings had been severely damaged and a number of organs punctured and damaged by shrapnel or by the sheer force of the explosion that had rocked him. "It's a miracle simply that he's still alive, I'm no Jedi or Sith, but I guess that must be due to his connection to the force literally holding him together after the explosion. We can keep him here comfortably until he's back to consciousness, but I am sorry ma'am, we just don't have the equipment to fully restore him."
Members of the Silver Lotus had been on hand to heal Aryn when he had first been injured, their healing had proven instrumental at closing some of the worst of his injuries at the time and ensuring he hadn't bled to death on the way back to Golbah, but even they had expressed this sentiment to Srina already. The doctor's words were simply a reiteration, a kind of nail in the coffin. There was of course still that possibility, no one seemed to dare suggest to the Echani that her husband was beyond saving, the solution just seemed to lay far out of their own reach.
Whatever solution there was, it was likely to be drastic.
