T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[Wilphe]

"Yes, ma'am," Ruzz'koff drawls it out, taking his time over the syllablles and goes back to fiddling with the navcom.

Saanath sits and listens to the responces from beta. The Captain's point about a doctor is a good one. The realisation that the Vargr were in no state to tackle it fell like a hammer blow. Suddenly Saanath was forced to acknowledge how close they had come to not making it off the ship. So far he had been content to enjoy the fact that they had made it off the ship.

He looks back to Quinn. Everyone has had their say. Its his decision now.

 

[Watus]

"Alright. We'll bring three. We'll need to dock with beta and bring another pilot aboard, because you're coming with Thomas and me. We'll need the doc here as well, suited up in case of emergency, but she'll stay behind to wait for us to bring the wounded to her. I know enough first aid to do triage.

"Wounded will go aboard alpha and we'll start with them. Hopefully there'll be enough room. After alpha is full, it'll dust off and beta will dock to take the healthy and anyone beyond help. And the three of us, obviously, assuming the Dvonn can't be made operational."

Quinn squints out the viewport, trying to think of contingencies he hasn't accounted for.

"Obviously, if we encounter hostilities, we retreat and dust off ASAP."

 

[doghead]

Saanath nods. He's a little conflicted at having to leave his bird. (and it strikes him just how much Julia sacrificed.) Because he also, secretly, really wants to get aboard the Dvonn. He realises that nods don't communicate that well over audio communications.

"OK Beta. Did you get that? We need to get sorted for a handover."

ooc: are we alpha or beta? I though we were alpha. But then I've had a long day, a beer and ... er, yeah, what I just said.

 

[Maerdwyn]

"We copy, Alpha. When Dr. Katalawickie (*blushes as she absolutely murders the Aslan name*) is finished with her patients, she, Vyrkris (*looks to the girl, who nods hesitantly*) and I will come aboard Beta. Lt. Ruzz'koff, as soon as the doctor as finished with Zadherg, I would appreciate it if you would allow her to examine you as well before she goes. [*to the comm*] The longer we can delay the transfer, Alpha, the more time she has to work on our wounded. Suggest we do it when we make visual contact with the Dvonn... assuming we're not attacked at that point."

 

[Maerdwyn]

As the conversation continues, Trelene notes something on sensors. The boat has been moving past a dust cloud, and she notes that a thin swath of debris within the cloud is a few tenths of a degree too warm, and some of the particles have been ionized The phenomenon is consistent with a recent active laser scan of the area – someone from the direction of the planet, was, within the last several minutes, attempting to determine the nature of the mass. This far from anything else in the system, it is unlikely the scan was meant for mere prospecting.

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarle nods in satisfaction, mostly to herself, and continues her work on Zaedhrarrg.

 

[Watus]

OOC: Oops. Thought we were on beta. I edited the previous post for the sake of clarity.

 

[Wilphe]

"If you need a pilot for Alpha I'll transfer across with the saw bones here, that gives her more time to look at me. Then you've got another body on site with some experience with this kind of gaff if the first team needs assistance."

"I don't to ask about Quinn, I know he can do this in his sleep. How's the Zero G and Vacsuit experience of the rest of the entry team?"

 

[doghead]

"I know my way around a Vacc suit. But I've almost no experience of working or fighting in Zero-G. A bit of fooling around while I was shipboard - so it won't be my first time."
