[He hadn't known it, but Martin had happened along at just the right time. Lack of fluids (not that he was drinking less than normal, just less than he should have considering he was sick) and lack of sleep had let the sickness ravage him, and if Martin hadn't been there he likely would have blacked out, and then who knows.
As it was, he spent the next hour or so in a half-daze, dimly aware he wasn't at URNNAI or home. Eventually "hospital" settled into his mind with the sterile scent and the blur of unfamiliar faces. At least his wallet had been on him for proper identification.
When he came around completely, he was somewhat surprised to learn that the stranger who'd brought him in had stuck around. So after asking the favor of the nurse, she went to bring Martin back to the temporary room.]
