[sblock]"Marienna, if the elixir isn't already separated into distinct doses, and if you can do so, separate it. Since there is time, I want to discuss this with the other officers, and Mr. Rook, but be prepared to revive young Abelard. You will have my instructions within the hour, but unless Radoon or I order otherwise revive Abelard at that time.
If we take that course, don't tell anyone about a second dose unless specifically asked. We can truthfully say that Captain Marin provided one dose of this elixir for use by the rescue team. Only if someone asks if we're risking Allois do we mention the second dose."[/sblock]
There should be enough damage that I can find something to keep all the rest of the crew busy; Terry can supervise their activities and Marienna can tend to the minor injuries she hasn't been able to get to yet.
I'll find Radoon, Rook, and Finn; they should be relatively close by. I'll take them forward to the bow; between ship noises and the wind, that should be as private a location as we can find.
"Gentlemen, I've just been told that Marienna has two doses of a revivication elixir. One is reserved for Master Marin's son, Allois, in case of the worst. Unless you object, I intend to use the other dose on young Abelard. You've all earned the right to a say, and I won't act if even one of you disagrees."
