Alexis handed him a package and replied, "Take the pills each morning. The injections are for your muscles and organs. They will help regenerate new tissue. The lotion must be used every night. It is to moisten your skin. The blisters left it too dry, and it will tear easily. You will be much better by the time you reach Earth if you follow my directions."
Ohber thanked her, and then added, "If there are more people like you, Valeri, and the queen on Earth, I am glad we are not going to war. Perhaps, they will repair the mistakes the scientists have made as our new king has done with King Shene's mistakes. Every planet deserves a second chance."
Nabvan replied, "I must congratulate you on your perceptions. Most others who had suffered such atrocities would want revenge. You choose to see the good instead. It is an honorable attitude."
"I assure you, there are millions more like us on Earth." Alexis clarified, "Few humans would approve of what occurred in that lab. Such cruel treatment was outlawed many years ago."
Valeri spoke up, "I am ashamed of my part in it. I allowed my dreams of an illness-free world to overrule my good sense. It will never happen again. I still love my father, but he must pay for his greed. It was a sad day when I discovered money meant more to him than his family or the lives of others."
Alexis hugged Valeri. "You have righted any wrongs you were a part of. Maybe, your father has learned a lesson also. We shall see. While the men are saving the knights, you can spend time in the lab with me. Together, we can make a difference on many worlds."
"I believe we can, starting with shutting down my dad's experiments. I guess it's time to see these guys off. They need to get going. There has been too much time lost already. Dad could have moved everyone to a different site." Valeri had worried about that scenario since leaving Earth. It's what she would have done in her father's shoes.
