-Shipwrecked- (Sci-fi, open)

[Rudigoat]

Reinen didn't want to lay down, he needed to help the others, but he knew he could make it worse by wandering around and hitting his head again. With his balance already compromised he accepted his state and replied to the second-in-command.

"Rest is the best treatment. That and painkillers. There's some back in the med bay." He tried to sit up, meaning to head back to the med bay, but a wave of dizzines struck. He lay back down, frustrated. Of course. The only medical personnel on board, and he's the one hurt the worst.

"Then I'll be right back. Montague, stay." They ordered their corgi to sit by the medic and whisked away. Their footsteps were silent in the hall as they hurried towards the med bay. They held the rim of their cap with one hand to prevent it from falling as they whipped around the corner and stepped into the medical wing. They surveyed the damage in the room and found it to be minimal. Sighing with relief, they browsed the rows of pharmaceuticals and grabbed a bottle of morphine.
Montaque whined and nuzzled himself under Reinen's arm, giving him a reassuring lick as he sensed the medic's pain.

Reinen gave the dog a few friendly pats. Now that the adrenaline was wearing off, his head hurt something fierce. He felt so useless, bleeding all over the floor, unable to even patch himself up. What a great doctor I turned out to be he thought, chastising himself for being so dumb. Hopefully, dad- erm... the commander had everything under control.

Rikimaru returned, morphine and a dog treat in hand. They tossed the treat to Monty and knelt down by Reinen. "Morphine okay?" They popped a few pills out of the container and onto their pasty hand. Handing the little pills over to the medic, they looked around at the disrepaired ship. "Anything else you need, doc?"

[Rudigoat]

Morphine sure would dull the pain, and knock him out. He took the pills from Rikimaru, but didn't swallow them just yet. "These will knock me out. I'd suggest taking me to the med bay for observation, but the power's failing. I'm not sure how well it'll hold up."

[☪ℓυηαя∂яσρ☪]

"Can you at all walk?" They helped hoist the doctor to his feet and draped his arm across their shoulders with some reluctance to the touch. After all, it was necessary. They whistled for Montague to follow as they looked over at Reinen.
Monty happily followed, tongue lolling and apparently oblivious to the chaos around him.

Reinen was glad for the assist even though he knew that his friend wasn't fond of touch. If he had been a bit more coherent he would have found Rikimaru's gesture shocking and rather touching. But all he could think of was the pain in is head and the frustration of being useless. In his delirium, he was unsure where they had ended up, but before he knew it, he was laying on something soft somewhere dark. "Send someone to check on me to make sure my.... respir-respiration, hasn't.... I haven't stopped breathing..." He swallowed the pills dry, giving Rikimaru instructions. He didn't want to leave the crew without a medic, but he would be of even less use if he were dead. As the morphine took effect he felt his consciousness leaving. His last thought before drifitng to sleep was of Earth.

Rikimaru nodded and left Montague to stay with Reinen in the med bay. Taking a second to readjust their tie, Riki strode to Nicholas's room and retrieves the requested equipment. Rushing back to engineering, Rikimaru applied a mask and handed the rest to Nicholas. "Here you are, Mr. Frost." They nodded to the engineer.

[Cdario]

Nicholas raised his eyebrows before accepting them, jokingly replying with, "Thanks, it's what I've always wanted dear." Before storing them inside a nearby compartment for future use. "Alright, that's all I need right now, thanks." He says before a faint rattling sounds behind him. He sighs and picks up his wrench, "just tell everyone in the Aries sector to hurry the hell up and land, I'm not really in the mood to die just yet." And with that, Frost wiggles his way through the machinery and goes about his work.

[☪ℓυηαя∂яσρ☪]

Rikimaru narrowed their eyes at the comment ("dear"), but said nothing. Feeling uncomfortable, as if they were being romantically pursued, they took a few steps back. They shut their eyes quickly to bring their mind back into focus. Pursing their lips, they looked after him and spoke almost too quietly for him to hear. "Sure, just don't call me that."
Montague whimpered in the med bay and wriggled his head under Reinen's arm, where he fell asleep.
