-Shipwrecked- (Sci-fi, open)

[☪ℓυηαя∂яσρ☪]

Rikimaru stopped Icarus from leaving the shelter by grabbing his sleeve. "Leave him. If it's buisness, I'm second in command and can authorize what you need. If you're just trying to comfort him, the best way to do that is to work on Reinen."

[Jeydon]

Icarus nodded, "Right. I need your permission to administer injections to each of the crew. Also... I'm going to operate. On Reinen. Risky as it is, it's our best chance at saving him, but I won't be able to do it alone. I know it's a lot to ask, but if you could assist..." Icarus trailed off, looking to Rikimaru expectantly.

Rikimaru nodded. They hated the sight of blood but they would just have to deal with it. "Of course."

[Jeydon]

"Okay. I have to go collect some more supplies from the ship, could you watch him and make sure his vitals remain stable?" Icarus requested. Monitoring Reinen wouldn't be too hard, and he trusted Rikimaru to do it.

Rikimaru nodded and took a seat. (Sorry for short post, short on time)

Icarus regarded Rikimaru for a second longer, before turning and striding quickly out of the shelter. As he headed towards the ship, Icarus silently reviewed what he would need to do during the operation. He didn't have as much information as he would have liked for a neurosurgery, but Icarus knew he would just have to work for it. Reinen's brain was bleeding a lot. Some of that bleeding would resolve itself, but Icarus needed to deal with the more major bleeds. He would also need to relieve the pressure on Reinen's brain. Icarus doubted his ability to perform a completely successful brain surgery on his own with such limited equipment, but he had to try. In normal circumstances, the risk would never be worth it. The circumstances, however, were far from normal.
Icarus soon arrived back at the ship, finding his way into the medical bay quite quickly. Once inside, Icarus raided several storage closets of their surgical equipment and monitors, filling his arms with as many tools and materials as he could find. When finally he could hold no more, Icarus made his way back out of the ship, and headed back to the shelter.
Entering the shelter, Icarus returned to his position beside the bed, setting down the large pile of equipment. Icarus quickly organized the equipment, and began to prepare for the surgery, all the while with doubt filling his mind.

((Hopefully we're allowed double posting))
After the preparations were complete, Icarus paused, taking a moment to compose himself. He had posted an 'Operation in progress. Do not disturb' sign at the entrance to the shelter, hoping that no one would startle him during the surgery. Icarus closed his eyes for a moment, standing at Reinen's head, and took a breath. He was going in blind. He had to stay calm.
Taking a deep breath, Icarus opened his eyes, and begun.

'BP's dropping,' The voices echoed throughout Icarus' head. They weren't real, of course, however the familiar warning beeps of the monitors surrounding Icarus seemed to echo with the voices. Icarus cursed silently, reaching to his left to adjust a setting on the IV bag. Icarus worked quickly, attempting to stop a major bleed within Reinen's brain. He had had doubts from the beginning, but had had hope as well. Now, it seemed that hope was vanishing.

Icarus leaned against the wall behind him, letting out a sigh. Looking down at his patient, having just closed his brain, Icarus felt no triumph. Reinen was alive for now, yes, but for how long, Icarus could only guess, and his guesses were certainly not optimistic. The surgery had been much more successful than Icarus had been hoping for, though that in no way meant Reinen was out of danger. The next twenty-four hours would be crucial.

Rikimaru had watched the entire time, and assisted when necessary. The whole time they felt numb but determined. Once Icarus had finished the procedure Rikimaru tentatively placed a hand on his back. "...Thank you doctor."

[Jeydon]

"That... Was by far the hardest thing I have ever done," Icarus replied, the ghost of a triumphant smile finding its way across Icarus' face. The reality of the moment was only just beginning to set in. He had done it. He had performed successful brain surgery on a strange, foreign planet, with limited equipment, and a far less than optimal environment.

[☪ℓυηαя∂яσρ☪]

"I'm sure. When we get back to Earth I'll be sure to attest to your achievement." They smiled lightly. Looking back down at Reinen, their smile faded. "I understand if you need rest, this was... taxing, I'm sure. I'll watch over him and let you know when he wakes."
The whole time the surgery had been going on all Riki could think about is what they would say to him when he woke up. ("My God, are you okay"?, "I'm glad you're not dead"?, "I'm sorry I kissed you"?)
