Tarran Smith"That's how we get it done, people!" Tarran says, putting his 'rifle back and smacking his hands together.
"Someone help James up, I'll get Taric."
Put all weapons back in previous positions. Then check Taric.
After noticing that he's sleeping, smack his face around a little.
All in all that went better than it could have, Taric seems to be the only one down and that's not exactly a tragedy in the strictest sense. After you make certain that the deadhead at your feet is completely dead you walk over to where Taric is napping on the floor. His breathing is regular and he doesn't have any bleeding wounds. Unless something got broken more than normal in his head you'd guess he's fine. You smack him a little but he just mumbles something unintelligible. With nothing to be gained from that avenue of stimulating conversation you sit tight and wait for Taric to show some sign of life. [Stamina 4] (Stamina +8)

Dominique Wakemanlol, yeah. Well, you know.
Dom holstered the Fuath and took the Abassy back out, using her now-free hand to scoop up the damaged rifle so she could put it on her back with her other weapons. Wonder if any more of those things are around... hell, I wonder where the others got to. She exhaled forcefully through her nose and left the room, electing to turn left and continue down the hallway for now to scope it out... but cautiously. She wasn't about to run straight ahead into an ambush. No, she was going to take her time and carefully examine the area with each step. Just in case.
With the fresh corpse hissing softly away in the background you grab the rifle it was carrying, you're becoming a walking armory but they do seem to come handy, and after you scrape some stray corrosive off it you sling it back with the other weapons.
You cough a breath out of your bruised throat as the acrid stench of the corrosive goo and melting chitin fills the room, now way in hell you're staying in here to paw through dead people's stuff with that right there, you've been on shift long enough to know not to stay in enclosed spaces with bubbly fluids. You exit quickly, turning left to check the rest of the hall out. You do however reload the abassy and keep it up while you check the place.
The corridor is otherwise unremarkable, same four doors as are in the Hallway in the far north, same dead end. Prefab technocrat stuff, identical in composition if not in contents.

Taric SizierSleep.
You continue to rest on the floor, the stunned stupor of being shocked into unconsciousness finally fading into true sleep. [Stamina 4] (+12 Stamina) You dream about the wings of butterflies gently beating against your face in an idyllic meadow of spring grass and orangutangs with harpsichords.
Huh.
(You can now wake up at no additional penalty to being exhausted.)

James EvansJames woozily got up and clutched at his head. "Argh, I HATE stun pistols..." HE turned to the door Taric was trying to open. "Anyone wonder what's behind that door?"
You pull yourself back up to your feet, swaying a little as your head swims with the sudden altitude change. [Speech 1] You attempt to inquire about the door that Taric is napping next to, your tongue however has other ideas and it is spectacularly non-compliant with your commands.
"Annnhon whant that buhind?" You remark intelligently to Jordan as he steadies you and takes stock of your injuries. He tells you to shut up and get some rest. It sounds like a good plan.
You lean back against the wall of the room and let energy and life slowly seep back into your bones. [Stamina 5] (Stamina +10)

Ashley Fey, Jordan Grey, Harry NakamunoAshley and the gang focus on helping the injured people
Jordan nods and goes to check up on James, Harry deactivates the majority of his implants and sheathes his blades before walking over to where Tarran kneels beside Taric. You meanwhile make sure that you're still fully functional, testing each system in quick succession to make sure nothing got knocked out. [Regen 5-1=4] Everything seems to still be functional and your regenerators seem to be working normally, an hours rest and you'll be right as rain.
Of course the likelihood of getting an hours rest seems to be about nil.
Jordan returns first, looking a combination of bemused and frustrated.
"I shall never cease to wonder what people actually mean when they speak with debilitating injuries... Blondie is fine, he's woozy and he'll be sore all over when more of his brain starts working, but there isn't a lot a I can do for him." He shrugs slightly and looks over to Harry and Tarran.
"I'd guess from the lack of screaming and emotion that Taric is fine too, though he looks out of it." Harry himself confirms Jordan's suspicions when he comes back.
"Kid is fine, took a couple knocks to the head but aside from the bruising he's just recovering from the stun. Should be good to at least walk in a straight line and shoot where he's told in a few." He frowns though, obviously trying to figure out how to say something unpleasant.
"For god's sake speak freely and spit it out Harry." You say before he decides to shut up and brood stoically for the next week.
Harry nods gratefully
"It was however a near thing, if we hadn't arrived exactly when we had he'd be a hostage, and we can't afford to get pulled into the mess that would make." He sighs and rubs his knuckles.
"I like their captain, they're a loose bunch but they've got good hearts... But good hearts don't mean that we should be sticking with them and holding their hands. We're wasting resources pulling their bacon out of fires, Fey, I know you want to help them but... we have our own work." Jordan raises an eyebrow but remains silent.

Jordan Grey
Health: Damaged
Charge: Almost Full
Description: 5'9'' Jordan is a slender blond man with the red scraggle of beard perpetually encroaching on his chin. Part of his memories were lost during translation, and all hope of recovering them lost in the second battle. His name is a combination of earth history and the book Grey's anatomy. His medical expertise remains intact along with his sarcasm and combat skills, but most of the rest of his life is hazy.
Personality complication: Hatred, he might not show it much of the time but Jordan holds a grudge against the... thing that robbed of the chance to ever recover his memories. He is determined to kill it, if it's the last thing he ever does.
