He tears open a pouch containing an alcohol swab. "I got good news and I got bad news. Good news is you've got some radiation sickness. That, we can make go away. Just gonna put an IV of RadAway in you, let it drip for a while, and that fever'll go away. Nausea, too."
He takes the swab to the crook of one of her elbows, cleaning away the grime and dirt as best he can. "Bad news is you've got dioxin toxicity along with it. That, we can't make go away. It binds to fat molecules in your body, and we ain't got anything to flush it out with. About the only thing I can say for that is that you won't die from it. It'll be some major-league suck, but if it was gonna kill you, it would've by now. Might take months, might take years, but you'll recover."
Satisfied with the results, he removes the catheter from its packaging. "Okay, here we go. -Fawkes, get the bag ready?"
