Sam was sore but she got up carefully and she responded," Thank you, would it be ok if I just dropped by the Hanger Dec to let them all know I am ok, it was a bad looking scene when I left?" Sam was limping on her hurt leg and her left arm was in a sling to take pressure off of her hurt shoulder.

(( from hanger  after shuttles landed from #13  capture))

 The doors  were raised  to 3/4 way up allowing the  wounded to be passed through   quickly. Those who entered the   Med tech saw lower ranked medtechs  mopping  blood, while   other Med techs  worked on  wounded. There was a very large number of Dec crew among the   wounded, and one would assume, among the  stacks of dead.

Stopping  with Paskins  at the  Desk,,Stfi  came out  , her apron more bloodied then it has been in a while. get the trooper out of that thing, so we can see what we have to work  with...who the 9 hells  patched  these holes with foam!

 Sam smiled at the tech and headed out towards the Hanger Dec since it seemed like this part was over but she wouldn't stay long.

——> Hangar Dec

Upon entering busy triage area, Tarja would take a moment to remove her helmet, her fingers clumsily fumbling with the catches at the back of the helmet before lifting it off of her head and placing it under her arm. Assailed by the strong smells of blood and antiseptic she would screw up her face in distaste before replying to the question concerning the foam ”it was that or he would suffocate on trip over” she said, covering for the trooper’s actions before swiftly moving on to the suits removal ”I will talk you through it “ she said indicating that trooper Giles would have to do it as her own fingers were far too clumsy whilst in the suits gauntlets ”You have boot knife yes? I will show you fast way” she said before showing Stefi and Giles a small panel just above the suits left hip, which once popped open with the tip of a knife would reveal a ring pull. A quick twist and a pull would be followed by a series of loud pops and flashes as the explosive bolts detonated and the suit fell to pieces allowing the medics to get to Paskins ”I will show you less destructive method another time” she continued knowing that she could acquire new suits easier than new recruits.

In Med tech, the   techs   watched  as the armor   'popped apart'

 Giles   watched and shook his head,Can you put that back together... there is another  jump off  coming soon

 The med techs looked at Paskins. Stefi pulled   Tarja aside..I'll say this up front.... if this was the end of a Jump off.  we might bebale to  save the trooper. but it would be weeks, before   the wounds  heal. I'm not a Mech rider, but i have to assume, that had this trooper not been in that  armor, , you could have brought most of   him back in a plastic  bag.

 Her voice got even lower...because we're goign to invade  the planet of the gods, we may need  every trooper  we can get. But this is your call, not mine.. we can give him somthing , that will have him ready by Jump off...but he's goign to go through all levels of the 9 hells..the cure ...might even kill him... so? what do you say.

..........

 NA-CE  entered   , Stefi saw the cabinets... she excused her  self  and said to NA-CE...The QM  has  set  up a  safe pace with   coolant  flow to  secure those,.. I filled my cabinet   and sent the rest  to the Balck Hanger.. I  am Putting you in charge of these... take the   cabinets to the    Balck Hanger  and the QM's  people will  get them loaded into the  refrigeration  containers. Tell the QM   I said you are  BH-M....

There was a downcast look as Tarja picked a piece of what had once been a vambrace; its edges blackened and curled ”parts can be salvaged, but no…suit is dead…I judged troopers life to be more valuable” Tarja quietly replied to Giles question, saddened by the suit’s destruction but knowing that she had made the right call as removing Paskins from the suit could have otherwise proved fatal.

Looking at Paskin’s it was clear that he was in a bad way, with her agreeing with Stefi when she said that without the armour that he would have been turned to paste. It was then that she was asked if she wanted to use some kind of drug or procedure that would cause Paskin’s to recover far quicker but at the cost of great pain and the possibility of death. She would silently think about it for several moments before shaking her head ”No…there are no other suits even if it worked…do what you can to save him, he will have place in unit when he recovers” she replied not wanting to risk condemning him to a painful death for no reason ”I…I need to return to unit…is there anything else?”

  Stefi shook her head,No?  carry on. we  wil patch him up. as  best we are able, and sit if he will be fit  for  duty, ort   Invalided out, or take a job as  as  Hermes   Passage way guard.

There was a pause as Tarja considered Stefi’s words with her hesitating and making a false start before speaking in a halting voice ”Will…procedure…increase chances of recovery and return to duty?” she asked trying to better gauge the situation and his chances of recovery with her feeling more than a little uncomfortable making such a decision on his behalf ”how likely is it he will recover and return to duty without…procedure?”

 Stefi thought for a Moment, and she   waved  Tarja over to the desk where she   pulled over  a   tablet.

  she   crumples up the  first page,  then takes it  off the pad.., because of the  crumples, it  did  not tear easy.. and some  parts were left on the  pad, while there was a bit of a tear on the  crumpeld   paper.... Stefi tries to smooth the paper out, but there are creases  and the  tear and the missing bits..when some one was hurt as bad as that... this paper  is an example of what they wil be like after...

 she  cleans  of the bits for the pad  that were left behind.... she tears of  then next sheet.. it is  smooth, and she did  nor crumple it...for what  the  Juice   we  would give him . This  is what he  could come out   like....You have seen a few of our poeple who went through it. one or two? a couple times....

 she    holds  up her finger, then   grabs the next sheet, carelessly   putting it from the pat, there is a  pit of a rip, and  a small part stuck on the pad..

 This....can be  what happens to some.. The Juice  reacts with your won system..the  tougher.. stronger you are.. the better  you are...

 Unrolling her  vid board hse  keyed up a vid...I can show you this? because  its   a vid on the effect on the Larg, His name is gregor.... yoiu will see  the thrashing he  went through..,. Adults   we  strap   down, they can hardly move, so they don't tear anything...

Vid... Med Tech #4 Msg 827

  as Tarja watched, Stefi said  quietly..the  comparison  it's  quite the same. We have a Young  cadet, learning to make  tough choices  for hos  companion... for you..its the choice for you and  an Adult trooper...I cannot  show you vids of the Adults, because it is against policy.

 NA-CE nodded and replied," Already done Lt." NA-CE was about to direct everyone and then she said," Umm Lt. where is the Black Hanger?"

  Stefi pointed  down towards the Bow of the ship...It is the near the   QM  cage. just tel them what i said about your Card,  They will let you in. One of the troopers   might
 escort you as well.

 NA-CE replied, Yes Ma'am, I will tell them about the Card BH-M. Thank you Ma'am." NA-CE went with the cabinets to the Black Hanger, she followed Stefi's directions and they found it.

----->>>>>> To Black Hanger

When beckoned to do so Tarja would follow Stefi over to her desk, her heavy boots clunking on the decking as she went. Watching the demonstration with the paper she would get the basic idea that the “juice” would restore a person back to health quickly and without any lingering effects unlike traditional methods. Unfortunately didn’t come without any downsides as evidenced by the footage she was then shown.

The footage was harrowing, not that Tarja’s face betrayed any reaction to the footage, with her once again questioning whether she wanted to put a man through that without their say so ”you said there is risk of death…I want to know odds” she asked in a cool, emotionless voice with it clear that Stefi’s answer would influence her final decision.

   Stefi gave a shrugs, she might  have been talking about the pint spread for the Next Hermes game.

 About the same  as if we treat him normally.. If you're  asking   what his chances  are for  survival from the Juice?.. I couldn't tell you, I don't know  much about him...  All i can say for certain. Is  we can  save him, without the Juice. we don't know what kind of recovery, nor  do we know how strong his will and  body are,    she shrugs,Some folks we have had  use it, it was a no  brainer. They had the   head and body to make it through. some others  we flat  turned  down, ratgher then waste   the Juice. Paskins is lukcy, we have some extra... But he cannot  make the Call., If we didn't have a Jump off coming. I would  say, we roll the dice  and hope he can  find some kind of career, if his body fails him. But  with 'all hands  on dec".. we can get him  up.. and at least  serve   on the hnager Dec, , if the  invasion lasts  longed  then  i day, he might be able to take the place of the  next trooper that dies.

The answer she received wasn't exactly what she had been wanting to hear, with the weary non-com raising her hand as if to pinch the bridge of her nose or run her fingers through her dark hair only for her to stop short. She would curiously stare at the red stains on her palm and fingertips, silently asking the question whose blood is this? Is it Paskins? or someone else's? Deciding that crushing her own nose would be a poor move she would slowly lower her hand before quietly replying "ok...do it" with her praying that she was making the right decision.

  Stefi waved to them to  take the Trooper to the  Combat ER OR.. and they Hustled  him back...

 Looking at Tarja , Stefi  said  slowly,This isn't the choice   anyone thinks of, when they sign up.  It will be  a bit until the.....effects..end. I will COM you.

 Vaka, was   walking slowly with  his uniform on, but the tunic  not  Buttoned  yet. Stefi saw him...No Heavy stuff.. get rest. your  body heals faster that way..

 Thank you. I go to see how my  friends fared. he gave a weak  smie,  walking   with a bit of a Hunch over.

 Stefi said...The first Jump off. he was  hit  by  a Angel  people thought was out of combat. ..Troops  are now mking sure, it  doesn't happen again.

Tarja would nod her head with her still wondering if she had made the right decision ”Please tell me of his condition, Hipper too, team will want to know how they are” she said as she watched them take Paskin’s into the OR, hoping that it wouldn’t be the last time that she saw him ”I’d best get back to team” Tarja quietly said knowing there was nothing more she could do.

As sometimes happened, Alison was in Med consulting with some of the staff there about the needs of two of her patients.   When suddenly a well-familiar face showed up:

"Ah, there you are! So. Do you come here often?  Nothing serious I hope?" she kidded Justin.

In reply to Dr. Alison Verault (msg # 72):

Justin smiled I just realised I've been in this area 80 times more than I used to be. glancing at his left arm It's a tad on the tender side.

"Well, lucky you.  I'm trained and authorized as a ship's doctor.   I can certainly tend to basic cuts and bruises.  C'mon."   

She took her vidboard and signed him into the medical log. Then, motioning for him to sit on one of the open beds, she began to examine his injuries, using a scanner to get a better look at the cuts and bruises.

"Yep...looks like you've got some minor lacerations and contusions, alright. I'm gonna clean them up and apply standard dermal invigorators, to speed up the healing process, okay?"

In reply to Dr. Alison Verault (msg # 74):

Justin mock-grimaced several times during the examination.

   Stefi stopped   and looked at Justin  with Alison...You know  we have   about 8 more   people out there  who need patched up  for real? abnd you  wasting bed space on scuff?  You want to get  throw on an apron and  see if   we can get some of those  8 people out there, to see   tomorrow..

..........

 then she continued   on Taping out  a  COM to Tarja...he's  doen  with the treatment... he'll be   tired, and sleeo  for a few hours on and off..

In reply to med tech (msg # 76):

Right away Mam. Scuff heading out now. Justin responds slipping on his Flight Suit. sorry for getting you in any hot water. Justin quietly apologised to Alison.

"She's never liked me, don't worry about it, no relationship to harm," she whispered and winked, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Once he was ready: "Well. Come by and see me, once you're done for the day?"

Once Justin departed on his assigned task, Alison concluded her original business in Med, and then proceeded to exit the Dec.   She did understand Steffi's point, and certainly wasn't going to loiter here...
