Strength (5) + Reaction (4): 4, 4, 5, 6, 1, 6, 1, 4, 4: 3 hits.

I'll just head over and take a look. I know I don't have any medical knowledge at all, so I'll just try to see if it looks like something that is really serious or just a flesh wound.

Perception (4) + Intuition (3): 1, 5, 3, 1, 3, 5, 3: 2 hits.

Sorry, been away for the weekend.

You float about and bounce off the chairs a few times but manage to pull yourself across to the unconscious man. Like you say you're no medic but the flap of head that's currently hanging off is showing white bone between the dribbles and spurts of blood and matted hair.

As you inspect the flailing body, Aysun's voice is heard over the tannoy.

Aysun wrote:Sorry about that gentlemen, each time takes a little more luck to make it through. I had to plug in this time to get us through the drone screen. In a few minutes we'll be landing in Fortune, the landing will be hot, the site will be under fire so everyone be ready to duck and cover.

Hernandez, I hope all your passengers are okay, I could hear a lot of shouting earlier.

Aysun, this guy here is in real bad shape, he must have split his head open on something because I can see his skull. He needs to get help right away.

Alvrin turns to Hernandez

Hey you, you said you're here to protect us right? You got anything that can help this guy?

Smith wrote:I can have a look at him, but if the landing is, as you say, "hot", then I will be hard pressed to do any sort of thorough surgery.

I can probably do some brief trauma work, but beyond that you will need to help me get him to somewhere safe.

He pauses, then looks at Hernandez.

Smith wrote:Not wanting to sound callous, but can I assume that I will be reimbursed for attending to your *ahem* cargo?

Hernandez to Aysun wrote:Oh they are my passengers now are they? Well they were all fine untill that spectacular peice of flying just then. We've got two in a heap at the arse end of the jet and one with his head split open. To be honest there was not a great deal I could have done to stop any of it.

Hernandez to Smith wrote:If you want paying for that amigo you had better speak to our pilot.

With that rather obtuse statement, the toy takes a comlink that had been strapped to his back and waves it at Smith (I'm guessing he is the closest conscious person to me. If not, I'll be waving it at whoever is).

Ingress5 wrote:Take this please. Carry it for me. It is of moderate importance.

Also, im going to order my Tower a bit closer, but have it back away at the first sign of trouble. Its a <s>lover</s> blimp, not a fighter.

Well I am ready for the landing. I will stay standing and brace myself as best as possible.

Jon looks for an overhead storage compartment to clamber into

Post by **Roman Totale** » November 1st, 2010, 21:08

Smith takes the comlink from Ingress5 and places it in his ear, nestling beneath his broad rimmed hat.

Did I mention he has a hat? He totally does.

The ship crunches into the ground with a huge thump of groaning metal and slides to a halt. The engines stay whirring away outside the hull.

Aysun wrote:Doctor, there's a med team on the way. Secure your equipment.

The back ramp opens and a gust of ice cold air sweeps in, snow swirls around the hold as Jon, Jasper and the various things they fell amongst slide down the ramp into a good foot of the white stuff. The arc lights of the outcrop the ship has landed on are glaring off the snow, the inside of the hold is bathed in a eyeball searing blue glare.

Aysun wrote:Oh yeah, forgot to mention they had a bit of a dusting of powder a few hours ago, looks like you'd better get some cold weather supplies from the store!

The engines are spinning up again, filling the air with a thick sheet of the fresh snow. The noise now the ramp is down is horrendous, like a screeching drill to the ears.

Aysun wrote:Now everyone get off and move in to cover, quickly! Follow the lights!

With that the clips holding the supplies to the floor release with loud pinging sounds and the nose of the ship starts to tilt upward so the crates start to slide toward the ramp. Two heavy coated and masked guys appear out the swirling snow, run up the ramp past the shifting cargo with a drone stretcher in tow, they quickly get nervous man on the drone stretcher and return into the darkness in the snow. The ships nose continues to rise as does the pitch of the engines.

Smith wrote:I think we should follow them before we get lost in this snow. I have no wish to be isolated in these surroundings considering the local...fauna.

Is it easy to see which way they've gone and follow?

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 2nd, 2010, 18:50

I'm not even waiting for the cue, I'm moving into the light.

Jasper, fading into the snow and looking mortified wrote:Gawd daym it ferkin chilleh aht heya!

The toy sprints down the ramp, plowing into the snow. As it comes up to just over its waist, its probably going to slow it down somewhat.

Ingress, over everyones comlinks, both as audio and text. wrote:Assistance would be appreciated.

Post by **deject** » November 2nd, 2010, 19:09

Here we go! I'd advise you guys to try to keep up.

I'll take off at a moderate pace, Super Blackhawk at the ready.

I shall scoop him up and put him in my gladstone (but with his head sticking out of the top).

No.

Between the pounding noise, thick swirls of snow and the still blinding arc lights it's going to need something beyond the usual senses to get anywhere without guessing, the lights Aysun mentioned are at this time invisible to your naked and somewhat frozen tear filled eyes.

Unless you're packing augments or goggles with various vision options none of you are seeing anything right now.

Post by **Roman Totale** » November 3rd, 2010, 11:36

Think I have thermographic vision, but can't remember without checking by sheet.

Post by **deject** » November 3rd, 2010, 14:45

All I have is the natural Elf Low-Light vision. I'm not sure that's going to be much help if there is obscured visibility.

Hernadez has cyber eyes, could I just cycle through the view modes untill he can see or do I have to make a roll?
