USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT)- 'The Real'

"ok" I continue to work the control panels, hoping for some good luck

"They're... infected? All of them." He tries to figure out what the infection is.

Unknown...

Any way to alleviate the symptoms, at least?

You've no idea at all, I am afraid.

Aside from anything else you'd need to get them to the medical unit to do anything serious- unlikely.

---

San and Cloud are receiving re-construction treatment, rather like that given to new arrivals.

It's rather touch and go.

Meanwhile, yes, melis, uyou can get to work with the generators. There's no ship power any more... well, no ship. So these are all the power you have.

Marduk has started to de-construct the engines and use them as a battery; you are helping with that.

Ares doesn't pause in his work, but looks after Dallas, puzzled by his lack of response.

"Is she gone?" Ares asks, still working on unscrewing the claw.

Melis will do the best she can with only one functional arm, then. Anything to keep the power going.

"She's gone," says Dallas.

"How?" Ares asks, simply. He tries to keep focused on helping Mors, determined not to let the First Officer die in his arms.

"Sentinels."

"A shame," he mutters, bitterness and frustration coming into his voice, attempting to distract himself with the Sentinel's claw. "What are their chances of survival?" Ares then asks, referring to Burn and Mors.

Oh, and how is Ares doing? Anything debilitating or is he remarkably unscathed?

You're pretty cut up, but functional.

"I don't know," says Dallas. "She is... was the medic. But we need to get them to the medical unit and we can't whilst they are attached to the ship."

Ares nods solemnly, continuing with his work.

Well, time passes. Eventually, Mors and Burn are freed, so they can be got to the medical unit. A lot of time has passed.

The power supply to the Percy wreck is made stable. The wreck will have to be destroyed once the Philo path is out.

"We'll just have to hope the sentinels don't come this way in the meantime," says Marduk.

"Fire should take over as medic," Ares says, looking over Mors' and Burns' gaping wounds.

"Captain...um...where are we putting...her?" Ares asks. "Did you recover her from the engines?"

-

Translation- Fire has a Medicine skill of 7, and nobody else has any Medicine skill at all...

"Sure, someone else can give this a try then, if that's ok with you captain!"

Well, that all sounds reasonable.

Mors and Burn are moved to the medical unit, where they are stabilise,d and awake soon after.

Things are a bit more touch and go with San and Cloud.

As both men are waking up, "Welcome back gentlemen, take it easy and try to stay comfortable."

"...Mother fuuuckker.... that hurts...." Burn groans.

When Mors comes to, his first reaction is to ask "Did everyone make it?"
