-Shipwrecked- (Sci-fi, open)

[Jeydon]

After examining Reinen for a few minutes, Icarus looked up to Rikimaru with a grim expression.
"He's in some sort of coma. Severe internal damage within his cranium. There isn't much I can do with such limited supplies. Time is our greatest ally in this situation," Icarus explained to the second in command, glancing back to Reinen as he described the damage within his skull, before quickly turning back to Rikimaru.

Rikimaru bit their lip. Poor guy... he was too nice to deserve this. They looked down at him sadly and nodded at Icarus's words. They set Monty down and sighed. "Can I help in any way?"

Minerva shrugged, though she knew Alec couldn't actually see it. Poor little thing, he only had front-facing cameras. One of the perks of not being cobbled together from bits of scrap was that Minerva was in possession of a full 360° field of vision. In several spectra, no less. The crash had knocked out her UV and X-ray, unfortunately, but her IR and radar were still working just fine. "This is your party now, Al-l-l-lec. You lead the way, I'll pick up any-any-anything that falls off you." Bright halogen lights blared to life on the forward-facing sides of the Owl as Minerva moved closer to the tunnel Alec had indicated. There wasn't much to see yet, just rocks and some luminescent moss, but that didn't quell the AI's curiosity.

"If we want to maximize his chances of survival, I'll need more equipment. I won't be able to salvage and bring it all back on my own, so if you could come and help, that would be... Helpful. We'll need to find someone to watch him while we're gone, though," Icarus explained, a grim note tainting his voice with a mixture of sorrow and doubt.

Rikimaru nodded and stood up. "His father should be able to suffice." They opened the door and went to fetch Theo.

"Good to know I have my own personal cleanup crew," Alec replied sarcastically, pushing on deeper into their chosen tunnel. It was much like all the other underground holes he'd seen in photographs and drawings- dark, empty, spotted with glowing lichens. Maybe there was a colorful rock once in a while, but the first stretch was nothing special. Of course, "nothing special" could also mean "safe for humans", so there was that...
Around five minutes (or half a mile, to use distance measurements) in, the tunnel branched off down three paths, none with many defining characteristics. He continued down the one on the left, noting a subtle change in the atmosphere: humidity went down three percent, and air temperature dropped by four degrees. Of course, that was to be expected, but not so suddenly. He backtracked a little to see if it was just a pocket of cold air, but no, it seemed like there was a defined point where the measurements got lower. Huh, that's weird. "Minerva, you picked up on that too, right?" Alec's arm tapped his sound systems to try and reduce the static he was hearing, before he realized that it wasn't static. ...Running water?

[InfectedHau]

"Yeah," Minerva said, turning her beams into the tunnel. Barometric pressure and ambient temperature had suddenly dropped going in, and there was definitely running water ahead. She couldn't tell how far ahead, but she could hear it, so it couldn't be that far. Then again, the tunnel could be amplifying the sound, so it could be a great deal farther away. Given the intensity of the sound, combined with the relative acoustic potential of the tunnel walls, however, she judged that it couldn't be more than another half mile. Shame she didn't have sonar, this would be so much easier. The walls were blocking her IR, and radar was pretty much useless underground. "Could be an underground stream," she said, moving further in, "Or a lake, or whatever. Or one of those things that one of the humans go to after all the other humans die and then transcend or something. After we try to kill them, and then they kill us. Shut us down, whatever. You know, one of those." Curiosity piqued even further, the AI continued down the tunnel, softly singing a song to herself. "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do..."

Rikimaru quickly found Theo and spoke respectfully. "Sir, would you mind watching your son whilst Icarus and I retrieve medical supplies for him?"

[Jeydon]

Icarus produced a few simple, injectable medications as he awaited Rikimaru's return. The corticosteroids would help reduce the internal swelling within Reinen's skull at least slightly. Well, that was what Icarus hoped. His gaze lingered on his young colleague's for a few seconds longer, before he crouched down, releasing the contents of the syringes into a blood vessel in Reinen's arm.

Rikimaru left Reine in his father''s care and returned to Icarus. Their long hair was ragged and their hat was askew from all the activity of the day. They looked disheveled but determined to help.
