The other junior agent was one she'd not met before, and looked as bad as when she'd found him, kind of like he was going to be sick. "Hey, you okay?"

Maybe if she can get him talking, she can help him focus on something other the fact that that he's covered in blood. He needs to get out of the infirmary, but she wonders if he would go without word on the other agent.

Sadly, the fresh blood is easier for her to deal with than the smell of charbroiled human. "Okay." Her voice is calm as she holds up her hands, palms outward towards Eric. "So you summoned a robot and it knew your name. What normally happens when you use your portals?"

"You didn't summon it," she clarifies, agreeing with a small nod. She doesn't reach out to touch him or come closer, not like he is now. "Something unexpected happened, and the robot was part of it. The two of you were working together, it was stopped, and you called for backup, right? "You got him help, and got him here. He's in good hands."

"That's something you can ask him when he wakes up." When, not if. After a second, she steps forward and gives the stranger a hug. He just looked so lost. "You did good, alright? You got help. You thought about it in a scary situation. I'm sure he'll tell you that himself."

She lays a hand over his left one in quiet support, picking up where he left off as she looks at the Director. You don't stay quiet when asked something by someone who looks that official. "I heard the call over the comms and came to see what was wrong. He mentioned regeneration, so I used my power to make sure the wound was closed before we moved him here."
