OOC: Edited my last post to accommodate Ian's.

With instruction to follow, Becker found purpose and collected the needed materials. Knowing Khei was injured gave him reason to act with urgency, but he did linger for a moment, sucked in by the scene before him. Cole in a dredful state, and Trina a little worse for wear and under Dom's care. Mike got moving.

His legs carried his body down the hall, but Becker still felt like he was in med-bay, looking at the sight there. He soon stepped out into the engine room, having caught up with himself. Now he had Khei's condition to gaze at. Another casualty of the trouble welcomed into their lives.

Mike was a little breathless as he held up the items he had, no words came with them. Becker was fortunate enough to know how to apply a stim dose adequately, and he spent little time in trying to aid Khei's condition.

"Tr....T....Trina? Wha...t.....happ....ened?"


"Shhh... just lay still and try to relax. I know it hurts..." Trina was feeling a little relieved now that Cole was at least conscious, but she knew he was no where near out of the woods yet. Looking up, she mustered a faint smile for Mike as he took some supplies to do as Ian had asked and then looked to Dom. When she spoke, she spoke to both men and Cole as well.

"We'll be alright." As faint as she was feeling, she didn't feel nearly as stressed as she had when she'd found no pulse in Cole. Even as pale as she was, color was returning to her cheeks and she looked to the bag that was still feeding into Cole's arm. "Go help Ian and Khei. I'll be here."

Checking the needle in Cole's arm, she looked again to the young man's eyes. "Not exactly the best way to get introduced to life in the Black. Someone apparently thought we were 'bad guys' and went to shooting. I'm afraid you took the worst of it. We nearly lost you."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief

"Red heads were always my lucky charm"

from Alliance Airtank
 
"Captain Dugan, I've been ordered to escort you to the medical support vessel FEN-9, please confirm."


"Rodge that AirTank. Will Comply."

He once again activated the All Comm

"Guys, things a back ta movin North. No more Weapon's Lock and they will be helping us with our hurts. Stand down everyone. All Wounded to the Med Bay. Anyone else woth doctorin skills, please go help Doc Trina."

He slumped back in the seat.

"One more thing. Anders is our new gunhand. Say hi everyone."

He thumbed the All Comm off and slumped bakc in the seat again.

Becker had utilised the stim drip and med spray on Khei before Dugan's latter message came through.

Quote:
 
"All Wounded to the Med Bay. Anyone else with doctorin' skills, please go help Doc Trina."


Michael raised, his eyes casting a vacant stare across the engine room but there was a desperation to find a level head. He sniffed the air, swallowed spit and the tilted his head from side to side in attempts to crack his neck. Blinking, a hand wiping his forehead and then a shake of his head brought some focus as his sight fell onto Khei.

"You want carryin'?" He asked plainly.

Khei had been limping around prepped for hard burn when Mike showed up with the medical supplies.

She cooperated long enough for the patch to be applied and was relieved when Ian's message came overhead. At least SOMETHING seemed to be going right.

Quote:
 
You want carryin'?


Khei gave Mike a smirk and shook her head as she limped out of the engine room on her way to the med bay.

Nah. I'm good. Ain't the worst injury I've had.

Wow what the heck would my mother say to this? Cole through blurry eyes saw the needle and tube connecting Trina to him he saw how pale she was and worried. I'm killing her. Trina......you have.......to.....stop. So.......pale. She's giving you quite the gift Cole. Do not push her away. Oh man I'm woozy. The room spun about but Cole just felt stronger for simply being awake. His savior voice still gave him comfort but it didn't seem as real as when he was out. He smiled up at Trina the best he could and put a braver face on hoping if she saw him doing better she'd take care of herself.

Anders staggered through the hallway Tristan's limp form now transferred up to a shoulder, he'd managed to get turned around and go up a deck when he didn't have to but now he was quite sure he was nearly to the med bay. You and me my friend we are gonna have a long talk about what you owe me for this once you're back on your feet.

Quote:
 
"One more thing. Anders is our new gunhand. Say hi everyone."


"Hi everyone." Anders mumbled to the empty hallway, he stopped adjusted Tristan and took a deep breath finally finding himself near enough to see the medbay. With no preamble he simply walked in and set down Tristans limp form on an empty table, "Got a new patient for ya Doc, he is a terrible conversationalist, but a hell'va good listener." he patted Tristan's shoulder and then began peeling his way out of the EVA he had been wearing, confident now that ship was back under its own power that suffocation wasn't on his to do list.

"So what can I do to help ya out Doc?" he said without ever actually looking in Trina's direction as he moved to the sink to sterilizer his hands.

Becker nodded and let Khei make her own way to the med bay. He held close behind in case the pain appeared to be too much or she took a tumble. It was some form of distraction but still not enough, and he held his tongue as he shadowed her to med-bay.

Soon enough they arrived to clog up the med-bay along with everyone else. Becker looked around, taking in the newcomers with some weariness. Dugan had mentioned an Anders but between one man standing and one man in bad condition Michael found cause for concern. His gaze soon feel on Trina with even more cause for concern, her complexion having turned noticeably pale.

Becker grabbed a nearby chair and pulled it closer. "Khei." As she would look to him and the chair it would be obvious what he was indicating. Khei wasn't in too much trouble right now and he didn't feel Trina needed more burden.

He stepped further into the room finding himself by Tristian's body and looking at Trina as he searched for the right word or action.

Khei had nearly taken a tumble a few times along the way due to a misstep seeing how her leg had gone numb and the feeling hadn't returned just yet.

She was mildly amused at the thought of Mike following behind like a shadow. She though maybe she should have accepted his help but her pride and sense of self reliance wouldn't allow it.

Her smile faded though upon reaching the med bay. Until Ian said otherwise this "Anders" guy was crew and while Khei had to accept it, it didn't mean she had to like it or trust the man. She didn't know if he had been the one who put the bullet in her leg but he had been with them which, in her mind, meant he was just as responsible. He'd had a gun pointed at her boss. Suffice to say she made no attempt to hide her distaste for the new face.

Quote:
 
"Khei."


Mike's voice distracted her attention enough for her to notice the offered chair. She gave him a nod and weak smile.

Thanks.

She took a seat to wait while Trina handled the gravely wounded first. Her leg wasn't bleeding now thanks to Mike so she was content to remain quiet and out of the way, her rifle-crutch laying across her lap for ease of access in case it was needed.

Her attention was firmly locked on Anders though. He was far outside her range of trust and that wasn't about to change any time soon.

Trina......you have.......to.....stop. So.......pale.

"Shh... I took the needle out of my arm before you woke, Cole. Just rela..."

The words of comfort for Cole were cut off by the entrance of someone though Trina couldn't see exactly who because of the bed between them as she was seated beside Cole. The voice that followed it, however, was distantly familiar. Her brain tried to process the voice, but in its hazy state, she wasn't piecing together the puzzle yet. The man was followed by Khei and then Mike. None looked any better than she felt.

"Mike... I need to get Cole back on the table..." Slowly, she started to stand up, more mindful of the speed this time than last. Still, she leaned heavily on the bed Cole had been laid on before the supposed help had turned on them. Her eyes went over Mike, looking for any obvious injury, then Khei, then Dom and then moved to the other bed now occupied. Lastly, her eyes turned to the man who was cleaning his hands.

Pieces started falling into place and her eyes grew a little wider. The voice combined with the profile of his face was enough to jar loose their meeting and the resulting outcome. Four dark, earth tone jackets pulled up over four faces. And all because she had lost supplies to someone's greed. His...

"You...." No one, not even Dom, had ever heard venom in her voice and had she stopped to think about it, it would have surprised even her. The moment, the anger she'd long thought past, took over and she flew across to where the man stood, grabbing at his sleeve and turning him to face her. "You Liou coe shway duh biao-tze huh hoe-tze duh ur-tze!*"

The room resounded with the sound of the impact of her hand striking against his cheek with every ounce of force she could muster. "Is this your doing? Do I have you to thank for the hole in his stomach, the one in her leg and the unconscious man on the bed?" She pointed to each injury in turn. Then, as quickly as the fire rose in her, it was overcome by a powerful wave of dizziness. Staggering backwards a couple steps, she lost focus and grabbed at the counter beside her.

"Woah!" On instinct Becker danced around the table and put himself between Trina and Anders. He restrained the doctor somewhat, taking a grip on her arms to dissuade any more slaps. His back to Anders would hopefully dissuade any retaliation. Mike had yet to realise Anders role in all this and simply thought he was breaking up an ill-advised scuffle.

He tried to peel understanding from Trina's words but struggled, then he felt her lose some of the life from her body in a fit of dizziness. One hand went her waist to steady her up, the other to her shoulder. "Hey-ey-ey." He spouted in the moment of recovery. Leaning her against the counter offered some support, he kept a hand on her shoulder just in case she felt the urge to spill from that position.

Becker turned to look at the others. He saw Khei burning a hole into Anders' face and unpleasant pieces looked like they might fit together. His eyes narrowed in on the newcomer, accompanied by a stoney face. "What am I missing here?" Becker had taken Anders for the native of the ship they had spotted on the lifeform scan. He was now coming up with doubts.

When he arrived, Dom found Ian in much the same state as before, still slumped in the seat. He saw his Captain nod toward the Second seat and stand, indicating that he should take the First seat.

Ian clapped him on the shoulder and told him to follow their new friends. Ian left right after.

Med Bay

As most of his crew should be in or near the Med Bay by now, that was where Ian went first.

From Mike
 
"What am I missing here?"


Ian looked around at those gathered

"We all makin friends here?"

Anders head came around at the sound of Trina's voice, "Doc White?" there was no venom in his voice, he even smiled a bit, and seemed to completely miss all the anger in her voice, "Well I'll.."
Quote:
 
"You Liou coe shway duh biao-tze huh hoe-tze duh ur-tze!*"

"huh?" was all he had time to get out before the slap landed, snapping his head to the side, "THE HELL ARE YOU ON ABOUT WOMAN!" he growled his hand coming up to rub at his now sore face, he actually took a step forward as she stepped back but when Mike came between the two he halted.
Quote:
 
"Is this your doing? Do I have you to thank for the hole in his stomach, the one in her leg and the unconscious man on the bed?"


"You, I," he looked at each of the injuries, "The little ones leg was Donovan I think, I only did for the other fella that killed Chen" he turned a bit and gestured at Tristan, "He was like that when we got on the bridge, you really think I'd have carried him in here had I put him out?" then turning back and pointing at Cole, "And him, I ain't even seen that fella before right damned now," his eyes found Trina again and stuck fast, "Hell I ain't even seen you inside of ten goram years!" he realized he was yelling and that the captain had shown up. He inhaled deeply trying to lower his heart rate, but his hand was shaking a bit as he reached up to touch his face again, his nerves frayed from the day he'd had already.
Quote:
 
"We all makin friends here?"

"Oh sure cap'n, we're all peachy, I'm just waiting for one of my shiny new friends here to put a shiv in-between my ribs." his eyes never left Trina as he spoke, as far as he could remember they'd parted on good terms, hell he'd learned most of the basics in doctoring watching her work, he respected her thought of her as a friend, even after all the time that had past.

A quick glance at his vital signs showed that Cole wasn't looking good. The transfusion had certainly given him time, but without repairing the wound he wasn't going to last. She had neither the tools nor the energy to use them, but Trina wasn't going to give up on him. He knew this, as he lay there, each breath taking a little more effort to draw.

Meanwhile, as Cole lay in the medbay, filled with pain and confusion, the Alliance Airtank floated below the ship, weapons still trained on the Glory. Dom wasn't giving him any reasons to use them though, as he entered the co-ordinates given and the ships engine flared into life. A few seconds later the Airtank followed, quickly passing the cargo vessel taking up a position on its starboard.

"MR221 to base, we are en route, request…" began the pilot, until a voice at the other end of the headset cut across and spoke briefly. "Yes sir." came the textbook reply, as the ship increased speed and began leading the Glory toward the medical support ship.

Pull yourself together, girl! This isn't the time for rash behavior! You have injured that take priority and you're about to make yourself one of them!

The voice in her head sounded so much like her mother's that Trina felt a little clearing in her head. As her focus sharpened again, she found she was holding tight to Mike's upper arms and looking up into his face. "I'm sorry..." she whispered, her voice not wanting to work and put out any more volume at first.

Clearing her throat and taking a deep breath, she looked past Mike to Anders. Her eyes no longer simmered, but held a faint apology as she realized she had well overstepped. "I'm sorry..." Her voice was shaky at best, but honest. "Strangers on the ship haven't exactly been good for us lately." Even with the apology, there was a faint indication that she still meant to have a few words with Anders later.

Turning her attention to Ian, she gave him a wordless apology and a nod and then looked to Cole. "I need to get Cole back on the table, but I can't lift. He needed blood and I..." she hesitated. "It was too dark for me to see how much I drew and I overdrew from myself. I have to close the wound again."

She felt a little foolish admitting that she'd overdone it. It was a risk she'd felt necessary, for Cole. A choice she wouldn't change for anything. And time was still against them. She bought minutes for him maybe.

If Becker could have narrowed his eyes more he would have, all he managed was a tilt of his head as he looked to Anders. The sudden inclusion of a backstory ten years past was somewhat perplexing. That was on top of Ander's previous alliance, which while not specifically announced did seem more than likely now. That stirred up a lot of mixed feelings in Becker's gut, a lot of information he didn't know what to do with. Anger was prevalent, but he managed to keep his fists from clenching.

Quote:
 
"I'm sorry..."


He turned to face Trina his eyes more widened as he tried to figure out what should come now. He thought of Trina first, her uncharacteristically pale skin matching up to a weakened version of herself. She could do with a resting place herself, though there was little room in the bay for that. Becker thought to take her to the nearest bunk.

Quote:
 
"I need to get Cole back on the table, but I can't lift. He needed blood and I... It was too dark for me to see how much I drew and I overdrew from myself. I have to close the wound again."


It only took a slight turn of his head for his vision to pick up Cole and remind him of the direst situation here. It was enough to make him rid himself of consideration for Anders. "Okay," he shared softly, before cautiously removing his support from Trina, waiting to see if she could hold her balance and then approaching Cole to lift him back up onto the table.

"Dugan." He spoke in way of attracting the captain's help. Cole had to be treated delicately and it seemed like a two man job. Dugan came off as most capable and trustworthy in the room.

AS he moved forward to help, Ian spoke up, a concerned expression crossed his features.

"Glad everyone is makin nice. We need all the help we can get right now."

He helped Mike lift Cole back up on the bed.

"Cole, there's this question I tend to ask my hires before they actually become crew. Consider your question asked and answered. You're crew. Now get some rest."

He did not like the smell the wafted up from the man's wound. He hoped the Med Ship was close by.

The pain was intense as Mike and Ian lifted Cole back to the table and he clenched his eyes shut and gritted his teeth.

Cole, there's this question I tend to ask my heirs before they actually become crew. Consider your question asked qand answered. You're crew. Now get some rest.
Finally back on the gurney Cole smiled at the captains words. Crew. I belong here. I'm so lucky to have met these guys. Cole sure hoped that he would pull through this.

"Cole, there's this question I tend to ask my heirs before they actually become crew. Consider your question asked qand answered. You're crew. Now get some rest."

Trina was steady enough to move forward as Mike and Ian lifted Cole onto the bed again. However, Ian's words to Cole had her giving Ian a curious look. She couldn't recall having been asked a particular question when she'd come on board. For now, it could wait though. Her eyes shifted to Anders. "You still recall what you picked up at the clinic? If so, get me vitals on him," she nodded to the other man on the bed.

Looking to Khei, she had an unspoken apology on her face. The girl had been shot and Trina couldn't get to her with Cole fading. "How is the leg, Khei?" Even as she asked the question, she was adjusting the overhead light to look into Cole. Once adjusted, she peeled off the dirty gloves and reached for a new pair. Taking up a medical pan and suction tool, she began to suction out, a little at a time, the build up of fluids.

Her lips pressed together as she noted the continuing blood loss. Finding Ian, there was a demand in her eyes. Get us to help... fast... The tools in her hands were set aside and both hands went into Cole's stomach. She was determined to stop the bleeding, even if it meant holding the wound closed with her hands until help arrived. "I know it hurts, Cole. Just hang on. Hang on a little longer for me."
