Several days later, Hans returned to the Tech Center after being notified that Tyrus's recovery cycle was finally ending.
The recruitment announcement Dianne had scheduled had gone out two days earlier, and applicant screening was already underway elsewhere in the base.
The recovery cradle slowly rose from its recessed slot as the readings stabilized. Its status light shifted from amber to green, raising Tyrus into a slight incline before the transparent cover unlocked with a hiss.
The breathing piece withdrew first. The fluid lines cleared and detached from his arms, followed by the monitoring contacts along his head, chest and limbs. The muscle-stimulation pads shut down last before the restraints around his wrists, waist and legs folded away.
A quiet tone sounded overhead.
