While on duty, they collapsed. They awakened to find their level 1 deathworlder friends, and their level 1 havenworlder companion, near them in the infirmary.

One of the best-heeded portions of advice for Companions is, The Humans don't always know if they're in medical distress. Followed by the various subtle signs of distress so the Companion can be prepared. None of which is any good if the Ships' Human has trained themselves to mask, conceal, or play off any exhibited distress based on some form of weird ethical standard.
