When Daria woke up, she had a weird feeling in her feet, like someone was lightly tickling her. She quickly took off her socks and saw pure, fresh mint where her skin should be. She sprinted out of the room, looking for Milena to talk to her about the situation and to find out if the scientists can solve the problem.
Milena was marking some locations on a map when Daria bolted into her room.
"Paladin, paladin... bad news. My health is getting worse. Are we able to contact knight-captain Milliana so she can order her doctors to begin to investigate the disease?"
"I'll check. We're not too far away from Argo III, I think we can catch the radio signal."
"Understood. I know you will continue to help, I didn't make you the squad leader for nothing."
"Thank you, paladin-commander. That truly means a lot."
"You're welcome, paladin," Daria said and let Milena work.
While she was walking through the hall, she saw initiate George coming out of the bathroom.
"Hey. How are you, Daria? Are you enjoying your new mint body?"
"Watch your tone, initiate. Please, return to your duties."
"I am sorry about that, ma'am. It won't happen again."
"I accept your apology. Go now."
After that conversation, the initiate returned in his room and continued to train shooting with his left leg.
Daria suddenly heard Lena's calling. "Yerko, come here, I need you!"
She entered Lena's room and came to a yellow radio with a small microphone.
"Please plug that gray cable in over there," ordered Milena, pointing her finger at a short high quality headphone cable.
When the paladin-commander did what she was told, she brought a chair to the radio desk and watched Milena click and tamper with the buttons.
It wasn't hard to catch the signal -- they only needed a minute.
The paladin heard proctor Nick's deep voice through the headphones. "Is someone catching this signal? I repeat, is someone catching this signal?"
She quickly answered. "Squad Zeus here. Can you put knight-captain Milliana online, over."
"Roger that. Please wait a moment, soldier."
A few moments later, a high voice spoke. "This is knight-captain Milliana Andjelkovic on the line, does squad Zeus copy, over?"
"Yes, paladin Milena here. We have to report a health problem from Daria Yerko. We are sorry to say that she saw a banana peel in Pozeska street, and unfortunately got a disease which we don't know a lot about. She slowly started turning into a mint teabag, and that process is still lasting. We need your help to stop the spreading. Over."
"Affirmative. I will let my doctors know about this and I will order them to find out everything they can and produce a cure before it is too late. Please, tell someone to stay on the radio for the next few days until further notice."
"Understood. Good luck, knight-captain."
Then Milena took of her headphones, and stood up.
"And? What happened?" asked Daria. Milena explained the conversation in details.
"George will be on the radio during the day and Jovana during the night. I'm going to tell them," said Daria and left the room.
