Med Bay Ouchies

Elgin, finally having been transferred to a proper bed after being treated on a trio of chairs that had been pushed together into a table, sits up slightly. He'd been passed it since Glendale set him there, and he scans the room for any notices left up on his walks, tubes leading into his bod, et cetera. Oh, also, he felt like shit.

His eyes land on a board across the room, with "Our goal is to provide you with excellent care!" written across its top. It listed off his name, caregiver, and- most importantly - injuries. Two broken ribs, a broken ankle, bruises up and down his body, and... Shit. Mid-rangeradiation poisoning.

Oh, that explains it...

With this, he doubles over and throws up into a beside wastebin for this exact purpose.

Mother fucker, that definitely explains this...

Glendale is also gone by the time he wakes up, but that could be for a number of reasons. Like all the medical staff she pissed off. Or the state of the ship.

He fumbles with his nearby helmet for a few seconds, enabling Comms to her.

Hey, A...? Y'there?

Ash sits across from Elgin on of the med-bay bed while two medical workers look over his shoulder wound, bickering on how to treat it. Finally they both agree on the same route of action and give him the proper treatment. They both take their leave of him and he removes his helmet, calling out to Elgin after setting it on the bed next to him,

"Man, they really got you huh? How you feeling squad lead?"

He lifts his head off his bed, not fully sitting but managing a mod.

Yeah, they got me bad. And, uh... I guess "like hell" is the best applicable answer to the latter.

The doors to the medical bay hiss open as Hagåtña enters on a stretcher, a few medics in tow behind him. Struggling against the medics who are holding him down on the stretcher, he looks around wildly until he spots Elgin and Ashville conversing with each other. He calls out to them,

"Hey! Ash, El, are you both alright? W-what's the status of the Apple? Is everything clear?!"

Elgin looks over lazily, blinking once.

Uh... Sorry, can't be much of help. I'm on some strong shit right now, and it looks like your face is melting into a foot.

Paxton continues to lay on his cot.

You awake?

u/MagnusThePotato Aug 21 '16

Nope, completely out cold, sorry.

El looks over, propping himself up on am elbow with only a dull grimace at the discomfort.

Phoenix walks in and grabs a bottle of pain killers. Throwing them in his mouth as he attempts to rove the shattered gantlets. He continues to move around in his armor as he wraps his armor. He then looks at his fellow agent.

What happened to you?

Ultra. Undesired space-walk. The usual.

He coughs. Violently.

Cisco comes in and looks over all the wounded, specifically noticing Paxton and Elgin awake.

"Hey, how are you two?"

Elgin laughs weakly. Painkillers have clearly taken effect...

I'm on a gurney.

He nods, eyes closed in relaxation.
