For many years the way the ' ability to know the activities of much of the gigaquadrant was a mystery. Although modern advances in networking and communication meant that news could spread in seconds of it happening, the DCP always appeared to know many events or discoveries before anyone else.

Since it's transferrance to the, the Kraw colony of Komraes thrived. Its previous government had wanted it to become a thriving metropolis world of billions, nigh-impossible withi ntheir own territory. An influx of aliens to the colonies had promoted rapid construction of new city blocks and orbital installations. The old city however was still a popular location for the affluent to settle and live their daily lives. A gathering site for the affluent amd the cultured across the subsector.

A buzzer beeped on a phone within a doctor's clinic located on the outer blocks of the Old Komraes district. The responder, a dr. Salisse'Ensha - a Ryketian who had moved from the to the Imperium seeking a better life - priued herself from her holoprojector and swivelled in her chair and pressed a panel to aknowledge the beep. On the other end, a Kraw woman's voice oculd be heard.

Eshi - Dr. Salisse, your 14:63 appointment is here. Ensha - ''I see. Send him in.''

A couple of minutes passed and the door opened. Strolling inside and taking off his coat was a with dark blue scales and stubby horns. He wore clothing appropriate for the warm interior, a loose t-shirt trimmed with silver thread at the sleeveholes and a pair of iron-grey shorts. He looked at the doctor as he entered and gave her a nod, she smiled and nodded back.

Ensha - ''Ah. Mr. Enghrek, good to see you. You mentioned nanotech troubles over the communicator?'' Alos Enghrek - Yes doctor. I woke up yesterday and was notified by my Morphis implant that it encountered something...I'm not sure what but I did feel slightly feverish for about an hour.'' Ensha - Well let me check you to see if the problems ar epersisting, then we shall see about checking the colony's memory core for elaboration to the problem. Alos - Sure.

Alosh shrugged and sat on the bed in her office. She removed a device from her drawer and asked Alos to lift up his shirt, to which he complied. She gently placed the device, which had a flat surface on the bottom and was half-spherical on the top, on the Alos' sternum and tapped a few uncovered panels, watching as the device gave various readouts. A few moments passsed, she had asked Alos ot take several deep breaths in and out as the device read his body. She looked satisfied as she removed the device from his chest and mulled over the readings as she returned it to her desk.

Ensha - ''Physically you appear healthy. Heart rate is good, no interruptions, no anomolous biochemical functions, breathing is normal for a being of your age and physiology but I did see signs of elevated blood sugar.'' Alos - Ah, that must have been the three donuts I had on the way over, I've come straight from work. Ensha - That explains things. Alos - So nothing odd at all?

Ensha rooted though her drawers and removed another device from the middle drawer. She calibrated it as she walked over.

Ensha - ''Nothing I can discern from an initial diagnosis. Now, where was your hub inserted?'' Alos - --My what? Ensha - Your Morphis hub, the implant you were given when you bought the colony. Alos - ''Oh that. Had it implanted within my belly.''

Ensha nodded and opened out the device, which opened into two sections. She approached and carefully rested it ot fit the contours of Alos' belly and activated a button. After a mament the device registered the implant in his body and a progress bar on the device promptly filled up t othe sound of a high-pitched hum. With that done, Ensha removed it and took it over ot her computer.

Ensha - ''You said you felt feverish yesterday? What time.'' Alos - Well I woke up at 6:51 and I felt really sweaty. Ensha - And how long ahve you had a colony. Alos - ''I'd say a week. My friend Deenosk got his a month before and was showing off how I could punch him in the gut and he wouldn't feel anything so I thought, "seems great I'll take one."'' Ensha - Any initial discomforts after implantation? Alos - Thigh cramps.

Alos rubbed his thoughs as he sat, as if he was feeling the pain right now, his face was one of discomfort however so its possible that something still lingered.

Ensha - ''Right. Acclimiatisation discomfort happpens in a few beings but its minor. Anyway, that's everything, I'll look over the data and contact you when I can.'' Alos - ''Great! Because I'd really like to know what happened.'' Ensha - ''Morphis had made jobs such as mine much easier and prompt lately. Although granted I see less patients now that their stomach bugs or colds clear up on their own.'' Alos - ''Neat! Let me know what you find okay.'' Ensha - Will do Mr. Enghrak, have a nice day.

Alos nodded ans he stood up and grabbed his coat fro mthe hook as he left the door, leaving Ensha to proceed to studying the data she had gathered. Morphis was changing lives, and she was thankful part of her post medical school training now included nanotech diagnosis such as this.
