Word from R as of about 4pm today is that Xebeth is “okay” — out of surgery and in the ICU. From the sound of it, while she’s not out of the woods, she’s not in immediate danger at the moment. Knowing Xebeth, she’s bound and determined to keep on kicking through pure willpower if nothing else.
And I wouldn’t be surprised to see her do it.
