T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[Maerdwyn]

Saanath gets the outer door shut, then sets about pumping what pressure he can into the hangar. He's only got to equalize the pressures of the two adjoining areas, and in this case, it only takes a few seconds after he inputs the command for the light indicating it's safe to enter the hangar to blink on.

As the large door slide off to the side, Saanath and Ktarle get a full view of the badly damaged craft sitting on the hangar floor. The side door looks to be in bad shape. The can see Trelene's vac-suited body just inside the shattered from window of the boat.

 

[Guest 11456]

Trelene Scrautigue : Luriani Navy 2/Prof 7/Trav 1: Retired Makhidkarum Vice President

Trelene has a sensation akin to floating in the warm seas off Darammiya back home. She's not exactly sure where she is, but it's peaceful.

Trelene continues to float. She seems to remember being somewhere else. But then she decides that she must have been dreaming. Yes! That must be it. She is glad to finally be awake now.

Saanath shovels all the chaotic thoughts bouncing around in his head into a box and slams down the lid.

"You're the boss now," is all he says to Ktarle, not really trusting his voice to stay level if he says more. He sets off in the direction of the beat up Beta at a run, making for the cabin door.

 

[Seonaid]

[Jeez, one day and all hell breaks loose! Not going to back up, I'm sure you can all imagine Ktarle's reactions for yourselves.]

Ktarle doesn't wait for the doors to open fully, instead squeezing through and racing to the badly damaged Beta. Her mind blanks automatically, triage training taking over. No thoughts cross her mind and all emotion is locked in a corner to be accessed later, if at all. She acknowledges Saanath's words by barking, "Come with me, do what I tell you, and don't touch anything without permission."

When she reaches the boat, she tries opening the hatch [T/Comp +14], giving it only a few seconds. If it's not enough, she says to Saanath, "I need you to open this thing as best you can. The more space I have, the better off they'll be. Tear off the hatch if you need to." Already her voice is calm, flat, emotionless, reflecting her state of mind. As she tries to crawl through any opening she can find, she tosses back, "But be prepared to drop it if I yell." She moves into Beta [if she can] and assesses the situation before choosing what to do. If she can't get into Beta, she will do her best to make way, by aiding Saanath if that's the best course, or by doing her own investigation. Her movements are methodical, structured, and precise. Though she acts quickly and decisively, there is no sense of haste about her.

She acknowledges Saanath's words by barking, "Come with me, do what I tell you, and don't touch anything without permission."

From Saanath she was going to get no arguement on that point.

Saanath scans the hanger as he crosses it to Beta. He gives what aide he can to Ktarle, offering suggestions when he has something to contribute, otherwise staying quiet and letting her get on with her job.

When he gets a moment, he updates Quinn with whatever they have at that point.

Once she is in Beta, Ktarle moves to Zaed's body. A quick check reveals the situation: "He's dead," she says flatly and moves on to Trelene. She checks the Luriani for immediately life-threatening conditions, using the meager supplies she carried with her. [+17 T/Medical]

 

[Maerdwyn]

Ktarle tries opening the door electronicly, but while the lock releases, the hatch itself does not move. Saanath quickly steps in and wrenches it open.

Inside, it's a grim scene. The captain's body is bloodied from multiple deep wounds on her torso and face. She lies across Zeadhrarrg's lap, and both seem to have been thrown up against the wall of the boat, and fallen down onto one of the couches. Trelene is lying, face up on the floor of the boat between the two pilots' chairs. Her face is mostly obscured by blood on the inside of the vac suit visor. There are shards of metal all over, some on the floor, some lodged in the walls and in Captain Darius. None of the three people are moving.

 

[Seonaid]

[Oops, forgot about the captain.]

Ktarle checks Zaed and then Darius, moving on quickly when it becomes apparent they no longer need her aid. She then goes to Trelene and frowns at the vac suit. "Is there somewhere we can go where I can safely open a vac suit?" she asks over the open channel. [Is there some way I can tell how she is injured without removing her suit?]

 

[Maerdwyn]

Once she is in Beta, Ktarle moves to Zaed's body. A quick check reveals the situation: "He's dead," she says flatly and moves on to Trelene. She checks the Luriani for immediately life-threatening conditions, using the meager supplies she carried with her. [+17 T/Medical]

First, Ktarle need access to Trelene outside her vacc suit, or at least the visor, as it seems her head has sustained the most serious of the injuries. Someone needs to remove the helmet and give her oxygen, assuming she is still alive - wait - slight fogging on the inside of the visor. She's breathing, but it's *very* shallow and erratic.

ooc: While Zaedhrarrg and the Captain are indeed clinically dead, it is possible for a doctor of sufficient skill to resussitate someone within a certain time period. THe attempt takes at least a minute, however, and it is a case of opportunity cost. The longer one works on victim A, the worse off victim B and C become.

 

[Seonaid]

[ Was the Dvonn medical bay ever accessed? How long dead are Zaed and Darius? ]

Ktarle speaks to Saanath without turning away. "I need access to the medical bay on the Dvonn, and I need oxygen immediately. Search Beta for any oxygen."
