I keep forgetting weather forecast... Tonight wind turns to west and tomorrow big rainstorms come from east.
Well.. I suppose I deserve this. Hike back to base.
"You're damn right you do! I'm starting to regret letting you out of quarantine, now."
Cromwell also began the long trek back to the base, his rifle over his shoulder.
He checked his imaginary pistol, on his imaginary holster. He must have dropped it somewhere.
"Come on everyone, stay together. I swear to god I'm going to murder all those damn bison if they come closer. Or whatever they are."
You two start walking back. You could have commandeered ATV from Pendle and make him sit on the trailer, but this works as well. At least you have more time to settle whose fault this exactly is.
You are back.
Begin operations on Adam. Begin introducing myself to the new doctor.
"So, you must be Dr. Helios. A pleasure to meet you. As you've likely heard, I am Dr. Pendle. Welcome to our little slice of hell."
Your view switches from helmet cameras to view from surgery room and give order to start operation. First step is to remove his scalp off his skull. Shattered pieces of skull bones are then carefully picked off and placed on tray near his skull. Doctor Helios prepares to glue them back together on a thin membrane and fills missing pieces with support gel.
Next step is to check how badly Adam's brain is damaged. Scanner reveals severe trauma on visual cortex (because of horrible roll). Neurosurgery isn't your speciality, but luckily the infirmary has complete database of all known surgery techniques available so it can handle it.
After half hour of careful operations it is time to glue his skull back together. The reconstructed piece is carefully fitted on skull and bolted in place. Finally his scalp is sewn back on. The infirmary's report concludes that Adam probably will be blind until tomorrow and should be careful what to knock with his head. He'll remain in infirmary until anesthetics wear off.
Video feed from surgery room cuts off and you find yourself looking at cursed rapids again.
Wait in the waiting room to have a check up
On Comns
"Everyone Adam is safe in infirmary and being operated on"
You wait and wait and twiddle your thumbs while Adam's operation goes on. Nobody is bothering with you at moment.
Use my ghost-like state to explore deeper into the forest.
Yup, better escape now that they began skinning you. It's not pretty to watch.
You fly through the ceiling and walls to outside and bask in sunlight for a moment, admiring the sun and wondering why it doesn't burn your retinas. Eh, who cares, the forest is more interesting. You zoom into it and weave between trees like a human plane. It's pretty fun. Animals are pretty fun too, they turn into hazy silvery spheres when you get very close, the same color your umbilical cord is.
Make peace with your gods and wash your neck, we'll leave to the caves soon regardless what expedition leader says.
