The Doctor always spends long nights at work, but he begins to force himself too much after hearing about the critical stage of Reed's infection. His efforts don't go unnoticed, as the Draco wonders why despite having so many duties to attend to, he...
It was a standard night for most of Rhodes Island's personnel. After finishing up their assignments, operators are mostly free to do whatever they please, be it relax in the dormitories, head out to the deck to get some fresh air or just devote themselves to their hobbies.
Reed, however never does any of these things. You can often find her by herself in unnoccupied rooms, simply waiting for time to pass until her next inevitable medical check-up comes. More than once has it occured that someone enters the site she's staying at without noticing her presence for a while, because as she told The Doctor the day one of the medical teams rescued her from the ruins of Victoria, she is 'a nondescript existence'.
That's what she thought at least.
Having known nothing prior to arriving, her expectations of Rhodes Island were that it was a place where she could remain and receive treatment for her Oripathy, if at least for a while. However she quickly realised that it was much different from your standard pharmaceutical company.

Most of the employees were Infected themselves, and all sorts of people worked there. They had a whole crew of Operators, who often went on military operations to stop Reunion or other unruly organizations. She even recognized famous individuals like Ch'en and Silverash in the crowd that awaited her when she got there.
-At least I won't be the odd one out here...- She thought to herself.
What she truly found strange was the man everyone called The Doctor. When she first met him, she didn't feel anything special from him, aparat from his curious attire blocking his identity.
But over time it became clear that there was a reason for his apparent popularity and why all of Rhodes Island praised him so much; he was their strategic tactician and right-hand man of the leader, Amiya. His analytical prowess had led them to countless victories without casualties even in the toughest battles, earning him the respect of all.
He was also known for taking special care of all those who worked with him. No matter how dangerous, bothersome or tiring their personalities may be, he always attempts to get to know the Operators personally and build up trust with them. Yet his hard work, diligence and skills have led to many distinct companies and personalities to try to acquire him, to no avail.
Reed was relieved. -If he is as good as he is said to be, then perhaps... he could...-
Inmediately she tossed aside the thought. It was too late. She could only hope of living for a few more years at most.
