((@Nikitian: You just caused any attempt to save you to turn near impossible.
@GM: Since their (May and Nikitian) brains are still in one piece, do we have a shot at ressurecting them if we are fast enough? I really doubt their bodies can be saved, though.
-Also, would waking May up be considered a med roll or have any chance of speeding up "its" death? It has a higher chance of saving itself than being saved by the rest of the team.))
((I think I'll stop posting actions for Milno for some time until I can get more members of the team moving aside from Faith.))
Sky mode
Action for Empyrean: Check if it is possible to discern the AA batteries from the crash site and how many enemies are there.
(If their head isn't destroyed, we can (usually) bring em back. Hell, may only lost some limbs, she'll be fine. Well, you know what I mean. )
You walk to the edge of the dam and look off across the valley below you, resting one foot on the raised lip running along the edge. You can see the AA guns from here, down on the valley's floor. They're not gun batteries so much single, great big laser cannons mounted on a giant triple gimbal. The entire thing is perched on what looks like a big square base, probably the facility containing the power generators and control systems. You can't see any wires or cables connecting the to the laser, so they must either be integrated into the gimbal or just to similar in color for you to make out from here. You can see a few scattered black dots, barely visible from this distance, milling about near the cannons.
((Don't give up till the end, bro. Try to save his body by using any medical kits nearby or advanced kits!))
((If you really want him to live, you would wait for Nekarios to do something. -1 to med rolls, remember? Empyrean and Thomas have -2.))
((What are the rules on joint effort again - players spending actions to help one another to make one big action?))
Yeah that only kinda works on certain things. Like pulling a rope. Not performing surgery. A bunch of idiots all trying to give first aid at once does not suddenly result in effects similar to a single competent person doing it.
"Well shit. Steve, can you give us a report on the other teams? Team B in particular. We are gonna have a hell of a time getting out of this shithole."
Head down to the next floor.
>Call em yourself. I'm sure they're not too busy. You drop down into the janitor's closet next to Milno and Faith follows you in as well. It's getting kinda cramped in here.
"Where's Nick? Oh there he is. Empryean, I think he's the best at this kind of thing. Let's see if he can help us. The rest of you, stay the fuck still. Everytime you move, you send blood gushing everywhere"
Thomas tries to awaken Nick.
Unclamp myself, and retrieve my MFM from the severed right arm - carry it for now.
Seeing the dying, search the group for any kind of medical or other kit I could use.
Head to Nik first and attempt to stop him bleeding out.
Hey Nik, even if I can't stop your bleeding out, you'll wake up back on the ship. Trust me.
After trying to help Nik, try and help anyone else who's mortally wounded.
((FUCK. SLEEPING. DURING. THE. DAY.
Also, we may not be that screwed. I can take out AAA towers if need be. Melt the barrels off, perhaps?))
(that arm of yours isn't severed so much as it evaporated. But we'll assume you kept the MFM in your implied backpack/ hammerspace.)
You grab the medical kit from Thomas who is flailing rather unhelpfully and bend down to take a look at Nik. [med:6-1] You dig into the medical supplies and retrieve some Medi-foam, a pain killer and a coagulant booster. You administer enough pain killer to knock him out before dosing him with the booster and spraying the medi-foam directly into the sucking hole where his lower body used to be. The foam expands and provides pressure, working with the coagulant booster to stop the bleeding.
"I've stopped the bleeding and bought him some time but all it's done is delay the inevitable. He needs a real doctor and as soon as possible, otherwise he's going to die of shock or any number of other things. He's out for now, which should give him a bit more time, but thats all I can do."
You move on to May, who is still unconscious. [med 6-1] (really? Two 6's in a row? You're channeling the doctor right now.)
She's easy, compared to Nik. You make sure the severed stumps are clean before injecting a Coagulant booster and medi-foaming the wound. You cover the rapidly hardening foam in sterile shrink bag, which shrinks and binds itself to her skin, enclosing the wound and foam in an airtight, sealed, sterile environment.
"She'll be fine now. Well, as fine as she can be. She may need pain killers when she wakes up but we'll worry about that when we come to it. "
"Well... I wasn't a mercenary... but... I definitely know how to use these things." Neil follows to the side of Faith, with his hand lasers ready. He was FINALLY going to get to use them again.
Unbeknownst to him, a manic grin was spreading on his face.
You hop down into the janitor's closet along with Cog. Ok, it is very dark and very cramped in here with 4 other people.
