Her body becomes a puddle on the floor. You move over to help her ingest some water to hopefully regain a bit of her strength. At first the water simply drips into and back out of her mouth, but after a moment, the Nemoidian begins to swallow. She doesn't protest as you lay out the supplies for treating her wounds, though it is difficult to determine whether this is because she is unable or because she is in agreement with your plans. More than likely, it is both. The MSR-X module completes its scan of her and immediately sets to attempting repair what it can of her wounds. While watching it work, you see that the bones in her ankles and wrists have nearly been crushed. This is obviously the cause of much of her pain. The medical module sends programming to wrap these joints gingerly as well as administer a skin patch of Demorene, a very powerful pain killer. The effects of the drug are almost immediately visible as your Mistress relaxes her pain-tensed body. As the MSR-X works, you find bruises and lacerations cover most of her body. The clothes she is in mirror her wounds and have to be removed to get to some of the places that the healing gel will need to be applied. While it only takes the MSR-X less than a minute to do all of the above, Mistress Dofina's slow recovery takes approximately ten of those minutes. The pain-killer's sharp effects slowly wear off and she regains more of her faculties, even managing to eat a little of the protein bars you brought her. It is at the end of these minutes, during your diatribe on the next phase that she chooses to speak. "He..he didn't even ask any questions." She looks at you, as if expecting some sort of justification for the general's actions, but there is none. She listens intently on the plan, sipping the water and gathering the rest of the equipment, making sure to get the blaster and comlink from the drawer as well. "I don't care how you do it X, just get me out of here. Even of you have to kill every last one of them."Dofina zips up the now full pockets of her shiny new flight suit and places the helmet on her head. Though they are a bit bulky on her, at least it is not as large as a clone pilot's suit would be. She tests the range of motion of her limbs, now standing on her own, and finds it to be satisfactory. Taking a last bite of a protein bar and a sip of water before replacing them in the pack, you hear her sigh as she closes the faceplate. "How do I look?"She doesn't wait for a response as the two of you finish the last of clearing out the room. You just finish replacing the grate as she goes for the door release. This of course doesn't respond to her and you have to convince the door to open. The door opens with a whoosh, and you are greeted once again by the harsh glare of the decklights. The hallway stands empty for the moment and Dofina wastes no time heading for the turbolift with you floating not far away. As the lift opens, two clone troopers look surprised at seeing the both of you, but upon seeing the rank insignia on Dofina's, or rather, Captain Halik's flight suit, they snap to attention and salute, to which Dofina replies with a barely perceptible nod. Satisifed with that, the two of them exit and the two of you are left alone in the lift. Dofina breathes a sigh of relief. The lift travels to the higher levels, taking you closer and closer to the outer hull of the complex. Then finally, a few minutes later, the door opens onto the hallway that you had mapped out earlier. The control consoles are there. The passgate is there. The long hallway towards your exit point is there. There is something missing however, something out of place. Dofina notices it too, though you are unsure how in her condition. "Where are the guards?" It is then that the two of you see something at the same time. It is small and a simple glance would miss it, but there on the floor is a slight smear of something. Your advanced sensors are easily able to identify it. Blood.Dofina, as curious as ever, tries to find the source of it and is rewarded with something that causes even her to be shocked. There, behind the consoles are the bodies of at least four clone troopers, but you can only tell that because of the number of heads piled among the rest of the dissembled body parts. It is not this that causes her the most discomfort however. On one of the bulkheads near the consoles is written something in Nemoidian language with human viscera. With the bloodlines that trickled from it, it is somewhat difficult to decipher, but Dofina mouths it for you. "Mother."Not skipping a beat, she hurries down the hallway towards the room that you intend to exit from. "We have to go. Now."</blockquote>
