Fede’s breather hissed for a moment as he took a deep breath before answering. My cyberear picked up that his heart began to beat more rapidly. "When an ollamaliztli player is seriously injured and cannot continue the game, he is rushed into the stadium’s first-aid rooms, where the team doctors and MedíCarro attendants tend to him. If he dies before he can be stabilized for transfer to a hospital, the MedíCarros remove his heart. They send it by runner to the teocalli, where it is offered up to Huitzilopochtli by the attending priests in ceremonial sacrifice. The wound in the chest of the player is sealed with a layer of synthetic skin, his body is sent off to the hospital morgue as usual, and no one is the wiser."
