Surgeon Communicating Quote by Ruby Lionsdrake
““We assisted you first, as I recall.” “You think you did, but I was playing dead to lure those warships in. I had them right where I wanted.” “No doubt that’s why your surgeon is communicating with my doctor, begging to borrow one of our medical robots.” “Someone slipped on the deck and stubbed a toe. It was tragic.””
