"Just poke in and check for any obvious stuff...That's what I did back in medical school and it worked.

"_{Until the exam that is...}"

I did not just say that.

"Meaning...don't our fleshtechs have anything on them? Field medics usually have kits of medical devices, right?"

[Parisbre56]

"From what little I know of medics (not HMRC medics of course) their purpose and equipment are for patching people up, making them combat ready, not slicing them up. But I guess your approach could work too.."

[Zako]

Bishop spoke as he walked between machines, resisting the urge to scratch an itch on his face.

"As far as I've seen, there's no clue to there being any drug production facilities or machinery present on the colony. It's also kinda of an odd place for making such drugs too, I mean why bother making them on a remote colony instead of a controlled and protected lab in the inner systems? I'll reserve judgement on this thing until we've found something that says that it's not a normal biological virus outbreak of some kind.

Also, don't joke about worms to Feyri, Jim, Mesk or myself. Don't ask why, just read about it when you get back on the ship newbie. It's no laughing matter..."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I wouldn't talk to Mesk about it either, considering everything that happened to him the last time brain worms were involved."

[IronyOwl]

"We're not equipped to perform chemical autopsies in order to specify the origin of a disease, no. And since it's been two weeks since we lost contact, the vast majority of whoever we find will likely have been dead for days or longer, so even if we were we wouldn't be getting anything out of them."

[Zako]

"The lucky bastard got off easy, and he had a better time than the rest of us did, that's for sure. I had to do most the work under a time limit while everyone else was either dead, crippled or loosing it somehow. I still feel nervous when I see you with those swords of yours..." Bishop mumbled, sighing in frustration at the memory. It had certainly opened his eyes, that was for sure.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Hmm, who did most of the actual work that mission? I seem to recall that I did all the heavy lifting, got the goods back to the shuttle, I even went back to drag the injured to the shuttle although that meant I might have gotten nuked from orbit too, AND I had an alien joyriding in my head for most of the time. All you did was stay out of my way, insert a plug, and press a few buttons. If Steve had a face I would punch it," Jim grumbled.

[Tiruin]

"Oh, we're talking about that mission again? Well, let me just say we all contributed to each other's survival and Steve was only being blind-sighted to the ending results. We all did well there, environmental dangers, end. Please do not bicker over it."

She tuned the channel to Bishop's.

"This goes double for you."

[Toaster]

Brother Lars perked up when he picked up on some of the radio chatter.

"Please, do not besmirch the good name of our Lord Steve, lest you bring grave misfortune to us all!"

[Parisbre56]

Wow, those guys are weird, thought Flint. Can't even take a joke.  I guess they are right though. I can't know what they've been through. I should check those mission records when I get back. Can't have my lack of knowledge leading to misunderstandings.

"Sorry ma'am. I assure you it was not my intention to offend. I will try to ramble less, so that nothing I say may hurt others because of my lack of knowledge."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Don't worry about it... Flint, was it? Most of us won't kill you for talking. Well, I won't, anyway..."

[Remalle]

"Ugh, why are we talking about that clusterf... I mean, I'm sure we'd all just like to forget about it."

[Tiruin]

"Err, wait. He said ma'am. I think Flint was talking to me. Nevertheless, you're forgiven...

"Let's just concentrate on this mission, shall we?  _{When can we figure out a puzzle before delving deeper into the Lion's den?! Someone ask them already!}"

[Caellath]

((@Radio Controlled: Uhhh, I think that is a bit of meta. The convicts don't have usually access to each other's files unless they have asked for such. I don't think Miyamoto would know he's a farm boy unless Milno told him, and he didn't.

Also, Milno's musings are IC (I don't know if you have read the whole threads, but Milno is always that way), so don't take offense. ))

Over radio: 'I would rather state the obvious a dozen times if it prevents even one unthoughtful act by anyone. Besides, I don't suspect Command could have any objections to a request as simple as 'let us fill up the APC's as we see fit', especially if it means we could save a few extra civilians.'

"No need to get touchy, newbie. Not my fault if you took offense from what I said, since I was talking about people like Bruce over here. If you think you're like him, tough luck."

"Also, this is the HMRC. Remember almost no one is rational." he completed, smirking behind his faceplate.

He could wonder why some people always seemed so eager to defy the veterans, but that was unnecessary in his opinion and a waste of time to top it off. The newbie would just keep getting progressively angrier and it wouldn't help their case at any rate.

He did have a mission ahead of him, and as far as it was completed and he got his team back with most limbs still attached, he would be satisfied.

[Parisbre56]

"Don't worry about it... Flint, was it? Most of us won't kill you for talking. Well, I won't, anyway..."

"That's... reassuring?"

An image of brother Lars burning him alive in a pyre for besmirching the good name of Steve sprang in Flint's mind.

"I'll try to keep that in mind."
