".....huh?" Levi asked.

"That one?" he asked her, gesturing to it.

"Yes." Angela replied.

"Uh... all right, then." Levi said.

He then looked at Nate, before making his way to the door, and opening it.

"Izea?" he said, seeing the goblin within.

".....sorry." Ryker apologised.

"I got... caught up." he told him.

"I mean... that thing had fight in it. A LOT." he continued.

"And it was cool to wrestle with it." he said further.

"But sorry if I made you worry."

Nate nodded in response.

"Sure." he replied.

"I can go get him." he told her.

"Back soon." he finished, before leaving.

Soon... though longer than anticipated, about 35 minutes... he returned... with Levi in tow.

And he looked confused.

"Why... why am I here?" he asked.

"Please do." Hal responded.

"I'll let you know if I come up with any candidates for the position we suddenly need filling." he told her.

"Right now, you need to concentrate on the med wing." he continued.

"And let me know if there's anything I can do to help." he went on.

"S'what I'm here for." he chuckled.

"Hmmmm." Hal muttered.

"That IS true." he said.

"I'll see if he knows anyone that might be looking for a permanent position." he continued.

"....actually, I'll get started on that NOW." he then said.

"The sooner we get someone for this, the better."

"Please." Hal replied.

"I'll be doing the same, but having two people on the lookout would be most beneficial." he told her.

"We really should have someone on hand to help people talk things out, or council them." he went on.

He then sighed, and shook his head.

"I can't believe it's taken me this long to come to this conclusion." he muttered.

"Dropped the ball on THAT..."

"Very true." Hal agreed.

He then sighed again, and shook his head.

"All we can do is see how this develops." he lamented.

"Really, that's all." he muttered.

"We really should have a mental health professional on site." he then said.

"Even one that can help with the minor issues my agents face on a daily basis."

Hal just pinched the bridge of his nose.

"We can't eliminate any options as of yet." he said.

"But for it to be mana related would be... well... pardon the pun, unheard of." he commented.

"However, we cannot immediately discount it." he continued.

"This IS a world where ANYTHING can happen."

"Good." he replied.

"...not sure what there is to find out, admittedly." he then mumbled.

"We may need to call in a specialist for this." he admitted.

"At least she's being cooperative." he then said further.

"That is going to make things SO much easier."

"Well, it's good that she's being so cooperative." Hal responded.

"If there IS a serious issue, we need to find out what it is, so we can potentially help her." he reasoned.

"And yes, she was VERY lucky this time." he then agreed.

"If something like this can happen with very little to no warning, then the chances of her getting seriously injured... again... is very high." he went on, shaking his head a little.

"But do keep me up to date." he said.

"Let me know if you discover anything."

Hal had just finished up with someone, and sighed when she told him the info.

"Good." Hal replied.

"Glad she wasn't out for a long time." he said.

"How is she doing?" he asked.

"Any lasting effects from her episode, that you can see?" he asked further.

"For it to suddenly just happen is... rather concerning, to massively understate it."

Again, Nate sighed.

"Very well." he told her.

He then ushered her into a room, and looked back at Angela.

"I suspect you'll be updating Agent Sharp on this." he said.

"As in, the fact she's awake and seems to be all right." he went on.

"Or would you prefer -I- do it?" he asked.

"...." Nate was silent for a moment.

"...months apart..." he said.

"Wait..." he mumbled.

"The last time you mentioned that... was before you fell down the steps and busted your shoulder up." he realised.

"And you said that THAT happened suddenly as well." he continued.

"Wonder if there's any connection..." he then said to Angela.

Nate was stunned by her sudden agreement.

"Ah... right then." he said.

"That's... all right then." he muttered.

"We just want to make sure everything's okay." he told her.

"The fact that this happened so suddenly, and it caused you to pass out is alarming." he continued.

"Audio hallucinations can be very serious."
