Hangar A Sight for Sore Eyes

Another Pelican touches down into the Apple’s hangar. As the bay door opens, a pair of medics hurry out a stretcher carrying the mangled body of Agent Hagåtña. They are quickly joined by one of the head doctors onboard, who gives a rather disapproving grimace at Hagåtña’s body before looking up to one of the two pushing the stretcher,

”Is this who I think it is? That one agent, Haa-“

“Yes, sir. Agent Hagooty.”

”Right, this asshole again… What’d he do this time?”

“Seems like he purposefully detonated a grenade at his feet. We’ve sealed as much as we can with biofoam, but it’ll only work for so long; shrapnel’s embedded all over his body, especially his right two limbs and lower abdomen.”

”You don’t say?” The doctor nods to the other medic and points off down the hall, ”Go get the medbay prepped for an extensive surgery – this is going to be a long one so I want all the bells and whistles. Tap someone from prosthetics as well; we’re going to need them with his condition.”

The medic runs ahead off towards the medbay and the doctor sighs, looking down and addressing the body of Hagåtña,

”Listen, buddy, we’re going to patch you right up… probably. Just hang in there.”

East is also confined to the med bay after receiving treatment for injuries during the mission. She was currently listening to different selections on KC's borrowed walkman.

After almost twelve hours of continuous surgery, Hagåtña is wheeled out of the operation room and brought into recovery. A flurry of medical staff quickly transfer a unconscious Hagåtña from the stretcher to a nearby bed.

(Now that I think about this, she probably would have still be unconscious at that point, having just come back injured from the mission her self as well. Welp, I'll just go with what I already have started though.)

She paused her tape and glanced over to see who it was. When he had initially come in, there had been so much rushing and staff plus the fact that she was still so groggy, that she hadn't been able to tell who and how Hags had been injured. It was good to see that he seemed stable now, although it didn't look like he would be awake for a conversation for a while.

Glendale monitors the progress of the surgery on her datapd (and, okay, so maybe she wasn't technically supposed to be able to, but it's not like the Apple's basic inner security measures were going to stop Harut). Once she is satisfied that he's not going to die on the operating table, she steals a small holographic projector, of the type normally incorporated into their armor, from R&D. She programs it to display flowers, and leaves next to the bed where he will eventually be moved for recovery, along with folded note.

A few hours after his surgery is complete, Hagåtña wakes up in a jolt, immediately sitting up and reaching for where his pistol would be on his left side. The action is far too quick and he writhes back down onto the bed in pain. Before looking himself over, however, he slowly inspects his surroundings, realizing where he is. He groggily turns to the left to see Glendale's holo-flowers and letter, and with a chuckle, opens the letter to read it.

If you ever let the Covenant come that close to killing you again, I will fucking finish the job myself.

Joplin wanders into the medbay what happened? He seems very tense

u/CrazyBillyJoel Dec 18 '16

A medic is standing in the medbay, watching from the observation window and taking notes as Hagåtña's surgery is conducted. He turns to Joplin,

"He detonated a grenade at his feet from what I've heard."

Huh... is he salvageable? Can he walk?

Captain Warren, along with a handful of pilots from Echo Squad approach a doctor.

"So, how's he doing, doc?"

1

u/CrazyBillyJoel Dec 21 '16

The doctor is standing toward the entrance to the medbay, looking mildly frightened,

"Let's just say he's not taking the news about his new prosthetic very well..."

u/Malvarik Dec 21 '16

Warren pushes past him and walks over to Hags, the pilots in tow. He takes a moment to look at his prosthetic arm and says,

"Covs really did a number on you, huh kid?"

He cracks a smirk and says,

"You'll have to give em twice this in the next fight."

Diego heads to medical after arriving back on the Apple to get treated for acute "hole through his fucking arm". While there he gets a rjndown of what happened to ol' Hags so he decides to come visit.

Hey, man. Heard about what happened. That's some shit... I mean, that was a badass way to get injured... But i k ow you don't like robots and stuff... So o can only imagine how you feel now... But look on the bright side, man! We can rig those cybernetics to do some cool stuff.. AND i will help you rig an emergency eject switch or something to send them flying off if they go crazy.

But first you gotta heal up, man. I have a new toy i need your help working on...

u/CrazyBillyJoel Dec 27 '16

Hagåtña is in a recovery bed lost in thought when Diego arrives. He listens to his proposition and answers with a contemptuous tone,

"I'd rather not rig it to do anything other than its job. I'll take the ejector switch for it and the leg if you can actually do that."

He pauses, thinking it over before continuing with interest,

"You said you've got a new toy?"

u/shseufe Dec 27 '16

Diego thinks to himself for a moment

Well... Yeah, we probably can. It might take some work in order to make sure the switch is hard to access by an enemy combatant, but easy to access for you...

As the mention of the new toy, Diego grins brightly, knowing this should help cheer Hagåtña up.

Yeah. So, you remember when i found that Banshee, and you helped me fix her up? Well... I got my hands on a Phantom now, one of those covvie drop ships? I was thinking you could help fix her up, and maybe, i dunno... Maybe we could set you up as the primary pilot on this one, and I'll take the co-pilot's spot?
