The injection Dr. Saab gives him is cold and prickly and comes with a brief sensation of pressure, but there's no visible needle. Once that's done he finds a small canister of pills and double-checks the specifications before he hands it to Steve with a list of instructions on when and how and why to take them.

"If you feel unwell in the next hour, you need to return and see me immediately. And don't exert yourself too much today: sometimes Guardians forget that other people need to rest now and then." The doctor gives him a smile. "Of course, I expect your friend's Ghost will be watching over you as well."

When he sends Steve on his way it's with a friendly hope that he enjoys his visit. Blaze is standing outside, talking to a blue-skinned Warlock in a long green robe while Ghost peeks in through the door. She lifts a hand to greet Steve's return, the Awoken man with her studying the young man with glowing green eyes. "Hey, how did it go? Ready to go talk some weapons design?"

The Warlock coughs for attention and offers Stevea hardened ID card: there's no picture, but his name and the words 'Visitor Pass' are on it in three languages. A Ghost with barred markings on its shell watches from over his shoulder. "Courtesy of the Vanguard, to ensure you don't get lost."
