"I'm all right," Zenith says cheerfully. "There'll be time to rest and recover soon enough. And I like a good cockpit way more than a bacta tank anyway."
She frowns. "Not that I need one of those. Just the principle."
"I don't need a bacta tank, what I need is to find a nice understanding medical tech and get him to start pulling out this shrapnel before I go into a trance, I swear it feels like I'm sitting on a pin cushion." Istara replied crossly.
"Thank you sir." the Corellian told the Lt. adjusting course towards the ship's docking bay. Once she'd passed in through the Mag Con field she brought her fighter down to land and waited til a tech attached the ladder so she could climb down.
You can regain 10 hit points from first aid via a quick stop at the medical bay.
If that won't fully patch you up (which it won't for Storm, Zenith, Wes, or Istara), you can spend ten minutes in surgery to regain another 5 * con bonus (minimum 1) hit points (so 10 for Storm or Wes, 5 for Zenith or Istara).

"This isn't getting any more straightforward." He said. "The Imperials must have had something else here if they planned to sacrifice a frigate to destroy us. But our scans show perhaps one town on the planet that isn't pre-industrial."
Unless otherwise ordered, Wes will wait until he is debriefed before he heads down to be patched up by the med techs. Once that is done, he'll keep tabs on things, so as to know if something further, pertaining to the mission, comes up or if he's needed.
Rosa looks somewhat confused at the scanner results. Not pre-industrial? Could it be some sort of Imperial base? Requesting permission to lead the scouting team down to the surface," she asks.

I would join her team and take Sgt. Colton along too. He was great help at the frigate. Storm says calmly. The presence of a Dark Jedi also requires special attention. May I suggest we bring Khambatta and Starglow along.

Storm will have had a quick surgery to remove the shrapnels and stitch the wounds that the droid left. Regain 20 HP?
Istara made her way to the medical suite and then waited for her turn with the surgeon to have him start pulling the bits and pieces of metal and debris that the gernade had driven into her. She'd have to see to the repairs of her flight suit herself. There was no way she could just replace it given that it was a Corellian suit, and even more so since it was a gift from her mother with all manner of little extras like built in weapons, upgraded electronics, and other suprises. Luckily it was just tears in the suit to be sealed and not damaged electronics.
A jedi does not know pain...A jedi does not know pain...A jedi does not know pain...A jedi does not know pain..."OUCH!" she finally exclaimed at a particularly nast piece of shrapnel being excised. "This really is a pain in the ass. Can't you be more sensitive to my sensitivities man?" she asked the grinning surgeon, or at least she figured he was grinning behind his mask. Once he was done and she'd been patched together with some fast flesh packs Istara headed down to the engineers section for a quick repair of her suit with some spray sealant. [its all just SFX anyway]
After engineering, Istara used her comm to get in touch with the Lt. "Sir, I'm out of surgery, do I have time to get some sleep, or are you going to need me and Zenith right away?"
[OOC: I'm shooting for a 4 hour healing trance, it'll give her back her second wind and the ability to be treated with a med pack again since 4 hours counts as 8 hours of sleep, not to mention that it would heal 20 damage]
"Granted, though it will take a few hours for us to get some better scans. " He said to Rosa. "I hope I'm not playing into the Empress' hands by delaying, but medical said some of you got hit pretty badly, and you're my best people for this kind of thing. Whatever's there isn't anything large-scale; there aren't any weapons platforms -- or anything else -- in orbit. But it's puzzling, and that probable Dark Jedi seems likely to be there. Do you want any Marines beyond Sgt. Colton? If we send just the five of you, then I suspect I'll seriously annoy Lt. Gellian by stuffing the two of you and Sgt. Colton into a P-Wing, and letting our Jedi pilots fly their own birds; for a bigger group, we'll need to load up an assault shuttle. I'm hoping the Imperials haven't found some way of sneaking more than a compnay of Stormtroopers down there, because one of the few downsides of the Sacheen class is that we just don't carry as many ground troops with us as Imperial capital ships do."

"I'm keeping a three-fighter CAP right now, so we're rotating on six-hour shifts. Alix, Mari, and Shorhynn's P-wing are out now. Unless the captain wants you for something else, you're up in two shifts." The Twi'lek squadron commander said.
"I understand sir. I'm going to sack out then sir." Istara responds, and then slides into her bunk, setting her alarm for 5 hours, figuring she had at least that long before she was needed again. Breathing deeply, she begins to count in her head, in for 8 seconds, hold the breath for 10 seconds, and then exhale over a slow 12 seconds. In for 8, hold, exhale, in, hold exhale.
The rythm of the breating carried the Corellian into a healing trance, doing for her body what the spray sealant had done for her suit now that she had all the little bits out of her. In, out, In, out. It was very relaxing.
[OOC: Healed for 20 HP, if it last for 4 hours, 25 if it lasts for 5 hours]
Between first aide and surgery, Wes moves from 35 out of 58 to 55 out of 58 and depending on the downtime before the next step of the mission, he should finish off that last three after a normal rest.
Either way, he should be more than ready for the next mission. If possible, he'll replenish his stores (power packs, grenades, what not) from the ship's supplies before the mission.
"If we can spare the men, sir, I'd like to have a team of marines accompany me. If I remember my history, the last Alliance mission to this planet was very unsuccessful."

OOC: Zenith and Istara aren't in the briefing with Commander Cyn (the captain); only Storm and Rosa are. And they talked to Lt. Gellian (the wing commander, and their immediate superior) over commlink.
"If we can spare the men, sir, I'd like to have a team of marines accompany me. If I remember my history, the last Alliance mission to this planet was very unsuccessful."
"All right. Two squads should be sufficient; if they've landed more than a dozen Stormtroopers, we'll know by morning. I'll brief you and your officers on what our close scans find in six hours, and let our favorite Twi'lek know we're stealing his two best pilots again." Commander Cyn said.
Six hours later, Rosa and Storm were in Commander Cyn's briefing room again, and this time the other officers who would be involved in the forthcoming ground mission. And Sgt. Colton, as the senior NCO of the marine squad. Also Lt. Karan, who the captain had put in charge of the overnight survey.
She had some video images to cycle through as she presented them.
"So as near as we can tell, our mysterious non-primitive town appears to be the home base for some smugglers who stumbled in to the place. At least, that's what it looks like. A few out of date and overgunned transports are the only ships on the ground that look like they belong there. But there's also one craft on the ground that looks way too expensive for the others -- about the size of a small transport, and a pair of fighters next to it; I don't recognize the design, but they look like Incom work to me. The Imperials -- or at least I think they're Imperials -- have some armed guards around the ships. I can't say for sure that they're stormtroopers in civvies, but that's how I'd bet. If they aren't hiding any other ships, I can't see how they could have brought more than twenty men beyond the ones they've got standing guard. Fifteen if that ship has a hyperdrive, and I think it is. No other large, modern weaponry we can detect from orbit, or anything that gives off an unusual signature large enough that we can detect." Lt. Karan said.
