T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[doghead]

"Like getting these ..., Julia and Zaed to the medlab. If there is nothing else we can do for them, then at least we can put them in a Low Berth. Until they can be buried properly," Saanath adds sadly.

He levers himself to his feet and after activating the sled, heads in the direction of medlab*.

ooc: assuming that he knows where to go. If not, back through to the Low Berths would be his suggestion.

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

Ktarle hovers over Trelene. "How do you feel?"

Trelene nods a bit.

"Better! Thanx!"

She glances at what is left of the boat and then at the hanger.

"Bad landing I guess?"

Then she seems to get a grip on the situation.

"I need to get to engineering. What is our current status?"

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarle nods at Saanath's suggestion. "Let's take them to Medical." She turns to Trelene, with a vaguely confused expression. "I haven't really been paying attention. Perhaps you should go to engineering." She grimaces, and then adds, "Sorry, uh, that would be a good idea. I'd like to take another look at you when there's time, so come see me as soon as you can." What I wouldn't give for a simple mission!

ooc: assuming that he knows where to go. If not, back through to the Low Berths would be his suggestion.

ooc: He knows its on the upper deck, and can easily get the specifics form others - Tomas has seen the deck plans, Quinn and Tomas have passed Medbay, etc. Low berths are excellent for preserving bodies until burial or until a doctor/autodoc of sufficient competance can revive them. The berths Saanath saw were occupied and active, save for the large ones, which were off. The medic was up to something with the nutrient/air supplies for the berths, but Saanath wasn't able to take the time to see what it was.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Saanath and Ktarle guide the sleds back out through the other hold and up to ramp to the mid-deck. The way to MedBay is well marked, and they make it there - a small room directly opposite a door marked Passenger Lounge and Galley" - without much trouble. As the Trel had mentioned, there are three sheet covered bodies on the exam tables in Medbay. There is a reasonable amount of medical instruments and diagnostic equipment, as well as an unused autodoc, but aside from some minor pain relievers and the like, all of the consumables seem to be absent.

Ktarle can see that the autodoc is not one of the newer models capable of revivification, and so gets directly to work on Zaedhrarrg, hoping her skill and what equipment there is is enough to give him a chance. She had hoped that the autodoc would be able to work on one of them while she attended the other. Without that possibility, and with the time only to help one of them before the other would surely be lost forever, in her medical judgment Zaedhrarrg presents the greatest likelihood of success. Julia Darius several minute prior to the vargr, and those minutes make all the difference.

*************

Trelene, still in terrible pain, nonetheless follows the other two out of the hangar, through the main cargo hold, where she sees an Aslan climbing up an an area of shelving towards some tied-down cargo, out agin through another bay with many low berths, and finally to a sign that points her towards Engineering. Along the way, she begins to notice the fine white dust which covers just about everything on this ship, save for the places recent footprints have dashed it away.

When she arrives in Engineering, she sees Ruzz'koff and Vyrkris climbing down off two link Maneuver dirves, the ship's power plant, an apparently physically damaged life support unit, and a dead body in a vac suit lying before it.

*************
On the Bridge, Tomas is able to comfirm that weapon systems are online. The computer reports three laser turrets, two dorsal, one ventral. They may be fired by the computer, or likely more effectively, manually at the turrets themselves. Dorsal accesses are off the bridge, to port and starboard (both Quinn and Tomas saw signs leading to them as they entered the bridge.). Comms are still jammed. During his survey of the ship's systems, Tomas also discovers that fuel tanks are at about 3/4, but that the ship is predictably out of jump fuel. Dvonn is equipped with bilateral fuel scoops.

**************
Trel has located his luggage. Only one strage unit is dedicated to passenger cargo, and though it's a bit inconvenient, he is able to climb up to it. To make space to stand up there, he pulls one of the others' trunks and sends it crashing to the floor. She climbs up to the shelf on which his luggage rests, and gets the lock open. His communicator is conveniently located on one of the outer compartments, and he grabs it and switched it on. It quickly finds the Dvonn's net, and he knows he is then able to communicate with the others on board.

"We've got weapons online" Tomas reports "and I'd estimate enough fuel to get us out of here, now that the manouvere drives are back. Hull integreties good

so are we gonna do a fighting retreat? Afterall we just can't sit here waiting for those fighters to attack again..."

Ktarlewaweikye Os Tehlayew Olui, Female Aslan Medic (Academic 5 / Traveller 2)

Ktarle frowns at the state of Medbay and frowns harder still when she realizes she won't get any help from the automated systems. She gets to work right away on Zaedhrarrg, sparing a moment to say to Saanath, "I thank you for your help so far. If you'd like to stay, you may, but if there's something else you need to work on, I can manage on my own. I would ask that you take the captain to the low berths, but I fear it is too late. Still," she reflects, "if you're heading that way, it's the best method of preservation we have available to us here." [T/Medical +17]

[Welcome back, Tonguez! Good to see ya. ]

"I thank you for your help so far. If you'd like to stay, you may, but if there's something else you need to work on, I can manage on my own. I would ask that you take the captain to the low berths, but I fear it is too late. Still," she reflects, "if you're heading that way, it's the best method of preservation we have available to us here."

Saanath considers the implications of what Ktarle is saying.

"I'll inform Quinn of our status then take Julia to the low berths and get one ready. But you will need to do the technical stuff, I imagin."

~If Ktarle confirms this, he will take Julia to the low berths, get one ready, then wait for Ktarle to arrive~

~If getting low berth activated is easy enough for Saanath to handle, he'll get instructions from Ktarle then get on with it.~

In either case, as he moves from the Medlab to the low berths, he'll update Quinn.

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarle frowns slightly. "Have you ever dialed up a passenger in the low berths? If so, it should be no different . . . I've never done that, but I imagine it is also very similar to more conventional preservation methods. It's up to you, human." [If I'm wrong, Maerdwyn will of course correct me. ]

 

[Maerdwyn]

Saanath knows that bringing someoune out of the deep freeze is complicated, but the activating the berths is something he can handle himself. The problem is that he remembers all the standard low berths we active already when he passed through there earlier. He could either bring one of the current sleepers back (with help from a medic, if it's to be done safely), and use that, or activate one of the larger berths, assuming it's empty.
