Enke and Olav shuffled quickly into the medical cabin carrying Martin LeBlanc on a wooden pallet. "Doktor! Kvikt doktor!" yelled Olav. They gingerly laid the pallet on the floor next to the treatment table.OnlytheStrong said:
As George leaned over the first body, he found the smell of burned flesh overpowering. The deckhand's eyelids, nose and cheek appeared to be strangely sagging and a large patch of his hair was burned away. As he touched the man's kneck to find a pulse, the skin split and slid away to reveal the red muscle beneath.Drowned Hero said:
Dr. Watkins quickly examined Martin and determined that he had sustained a moderate concussion in addition to 2nd degree burns along his back and neck. Camille's quick action had prevented damage to his face and scalp. His pulse was a bit high, but stable, and his breathing was normal (indicating no damage to his lungs).OnlytheStrong said:

George was able to fight back his nausea and continue on. He probed the neck of the first deckhand, sliding his fingers between the exposed muscles seeking a pulse--and then deeper. There was nothing.Drowned Hero said:
[sblock=For Martin's eyes only]Martin will awaken in a drugged stupor approximately 3 hours later, but once he's oriented himself, he will have a short time during which he can perform basic functions which don't require physical exertion; for example, he will not be able to climb a flight of stairs without passing out. The morphine will wear off approximately 1 hour later to the extent that the pain from his burns will be unbearable[/sblock]Morpheus said:
As they were hurrying out of the medical facility, Enke and Olav stopped dead in their tracks. A painful look crossed Enke's face and Olav responded in a somber tone, "Ja doktor. Der er flere ... excuse ... there are more on the dock."OnlytheStrong said:
Moore tilted his head to the side and squinted again, moving closer to see you better. Water ran from his hair down the side of his face and dripped from his chin. "Rucker?", he questioned himself, then nodded. "Yes, Professor Rucker. From the department of Chemistry! It's been a long time, Professor. But..."Strahd_Von_Zarovich said:

The man grunted out in pain, spraying bloody spittle. In a raspy voice, like sandpaper scraping across bone, he blurted "A man! I saw..." He trembled and grabbed George's shirt and pulled. "...saw him! Start the fire."Drowned Hero said:
Enke and Olav ran with Wade through the Ship's Mess and down the corridor to the exit, emerging at the top of the superstructure's stairway, and they pointed down at a cluster of bodies lying on the main deck near the raised gangway. Wade was stunned by the chaos: the dock buildings and a railcar engulfed in flames, smoke and sparks drifting close overhead, klaxons blaring, crewmen racing in every direction. Enke shouted to Wade, doing his best to be heard over the scene's cacaphony, "There Doktor! Kvikt vær så snill! Please!"OnlytheStrong said:
