At least she thought that's where she was, maybe she was imagining things. She hurt so much she wasn't sure, and only God knew how much blood had probably escaped from her nose.

(So much happened this evening and I read most of it on a phone before a class) IC: Nicole watched in confusion, dropping the medical bag in her shock as she quickly bent down towards Ashley. She'd never operated on someone with these kinds of modifications (she never recalled anyone with any, at least not this extreme on Gaia). "It's alright," Nicole said. "I'm here." Blood was pouring out of Ashley's nose. That on its own was not always a sign of any serious injuries, but the fact that she was struggling to remain conscious seemed to tell a different story. "What happened here?" Nicole asked. "Ashley, can you tell me what you were doing before this happened?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Based on what you've told me so far the best explanation I have is this has something to do with the psionics in your mind. If it is, I suspect this might not be as serious as it looks, but it's good to be prepared." She turned toward Can. "Can you run to the medbay and see if you can find a stretcher?" She asked before turning toward Ashley. "Now at the moment it doesn't look like you have much to worry about. Nosebleeds aren't anything serious, although I should check to see if there's any damage to the nose itself, but if this is what I think it is I suspect your mind is just stressed and needs some rest. However just to be certain I need to ask how you're feeling. Do you feel any pain anywhere in your body?"

Xomeron Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 IC: "Acknowledged, Colonel." Can said into his radio; as he was lifting Ashley onto the stretcher. "The doctor and I are getting crewman Landes into the medbay. Once the teleporter recharges I'll be over." While Can and the doctor carried Ashley into Medbay, Can spoke to the ship's computer. "Computer, Rig me three detonators. Set them for remote detonation from my computer, and key them to a Dead Man's Switch on my life signs from my computer." Once he'd finished with Ashley, Can ran out of the medbay towards the Armory. "Harken." Can said to his new superior 'Officer' "The colonel is sending me over to the other ship." Without waiting for a reply, Can pulled a few satchels full of plastic explosives and grabbed the detonators that the computer had rigged. Into each, he threw an incendiary grenade, since fire was always fun on an enemy spaceship. Thus loaded down, Can headed back to the teleport room, waiting for replies from any of the people he had spoken to as the teleporter recharged from picking up Ashley.

Zhangku Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 IC: Souper Saladd The Kitchen. That was all that the slug was worried about. Whatever had been happening, the slug did not care. Sure, xhe felt a psionic pulse coming from inside the ship, but it was directed outward, not inward. If it had been doing so in that manner, xhe would've worked and gotten to handling it if the other slugs on the ship did not do anything to fix it. Munching on some kale, the slug simply watched to see if someone was coming into the mess hall to relax for a short time. You know. While the ship was under attack.

Alex Humva Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 IC [Dropships] The dropships immediately began taking evasive action, breaking off from the formation, while what appeared to be shields flickered on the damaged dropship. It'd definitely make things interesting, especially as the dropships' guns came to life, one dropship breaking off to try and chase the Falcon away. IC [Engineering] The good news was that Skinter didn't materialize into a wall. The bad news was that there were three pirates standing there, looking down at their consoles, and now slightly confused at the sudden arrival of an armored man. The confusion wouldn't last long, two reaching for their swords while the other pulled out a revolver. Can's visor flickered to life, lifesign outlines appearing and, possibly more important in this situation, the outline of energy conduits in the floor.

Nicole reached into the bag, pulling out a few containers of pills. "I don't know much about psionics so there's only so much I can do. I can give you something to try and numb the pain, but I'm not sure how much good it will do. Alternatively I could give you something that might put you to sleep. If my vague understanding of all this is correct, it should allow your mind to relax and hopefully it won't be as painful when you wake up. I'll give you a moment to think about that." Nicole put the pill containers on a nearby table before she began rummaging through the doors, grabbing a few restraints. Normally something that went unused as it was only for patients who were dangerous, but remembering what the computer said she figured this was a suitable precaution. Quickly she approached Ashley's bed. "I'm going to need you to lie down. Nicole began to tied the strap around the bed, and more specifically Ashley's chest, though still keeping her arms free. "There's a possibility that we may lose our gravity," she explained to Ashley. "If that happens this is just to keep you from drifting away while weightless."

There was better luck with the gun, though, a plasma round embedding itself into the woman's shoulder and allowing Can to turn his attention to the other sword-bearer, who happened to be midway through a strike to cut Can's sword arm in half. IC [More pirates!] Walker's day would only get worse, as two of the dropships were now trying to keep on either side of her, their side turrets forcing her to keep moving erratically.
