[ Cisco squeezes her hand back, tightly. Again, for a few moments, all he can manage is a tight-voiced: ]

Thanks.

[ And he believes her - that her role as a doctor is important to her, that she will keep his secret out of professional pride, but also, friendship. It is a huge relief, even though more and more people are finding out about him, and he is trying (in theory) to accept his powers and be more open about them.

When Cisco's ready, he gets to his feet, letting Beverly's hand go with one last squeeze and then heading back into the main room. The other medics turn to look at them, but Cisco ignores them, heading directly towards the pile of rubble where he'd seen the doctor in the vision concealing the samples. He pulls aside the debris, carefully unearthing that canvas layering. When he tugs it off and leaves it on the floor, that small not-mini-fridge is visible. Carefully, Cisco stands back, letting Beverly lead from here. She should probably scan it with her tricorder, then decide whether to open it, and what to do with what she found inside. ]

[Beverly follows Cisco back into the room, nodding at the other medics to let them know he was okay. None of them ask any questions about it - after all, they too, have their oaths to abide by. And truth be told, they're now more interested in the rubble Cisco is removing than Cisco himself. Clearly, there's something worth investigating under there.

Keenly aware of the room's eyes on her, Beverly squats to get a reading with the tricorder. What she gets is... confusing. Frowning, she hums thoughtfully before standing up and shutting the tricorder.]

Results are inconclusive. I hesitate to open it right now... I think we'll have to bring back another expedition with more specialized equipment. For now, let's leave it alone.

[ Cisco nods, exhaling slowly and taking another step away from the thing for good measure. He's relieved, actually, that Beverly made the call to examine it later. He knows she did so for medical, scientific reasons. But his gratitude is partially selfish. After that vibe, he is feeling a little hollowed-out, a little exhausted. He's not sure how well he would handle more surprises, much less any actual danger.

He's oddly glad, though, that things had unfolded the way they did. The truth is... it'll probably be good. He's not sure they would have found that container, if it weren't for the vibe. If whatever is in it is important, or dangerous, it's a good thing, that he'd been able to direct them to it. Besides that, though, it might be important, having a friend who is a doctor and who knows about his powers. And it will also be nice, not lying to Beverly. It might have happened in a messy way, but he's sure now, she is someone he can trust. Or at least, as sure as he ever is. ]
