Who: Clay Terran + You people
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: On the Iskaulit
When: June 7th, a bit after this

[You know, Clay hadn't been expecting a day like this. All he was doing was going to the Iskaulit to do some workouts in the gym, even bopping to a tune playing in his head.

Of course, that all comes a stop when he sees the mess before he sees anyone else. Blood trailing through the hallway, like someone had been walking with it. His stomach churns a bit, and his first instinct is to flee and get someone with medical help. Like Jennifer, or Beverly, or...

But no, he's here, and he... doesn't really realize just how bad it is yet. He returns to his shuttle first to grab the first-aid box, then heads in to see who needs his help.

And upon following the trail, well... Turns out, it's a lot worse than he thought it'd be, and that instinct from before comes back full force. He's only had some lessons, he's not prepared for this level of medical trauma, he really isn't -

And that's why he'll be calling out on the comms - not video, because there are kids on the network, but it's pretty clear by the state of his shaky voice that this is definitely an emergency.]

I-I need doctors - healers, medics -

[He takes in a deep breath - ]

I need all medical personnel to the Iskaulit right now!

((ooc: Everyone's free to branch off, tag other threads, etc! This is a general rescue/medical aid post for Winter's wrecking ball.))

Do you know her well?

Reasonably. We're both from the same world, but she wasn't on my crew.

Your pirate crew? [Makes sense given that she's a child and all.] It was good you were there. [Kitty could have picked her up and run, but at some point she would have had to have gone solid to get them away and Winter might have caught up leaving the girl vulnerable.]

That's right. [She hesitates, wondering the simplest way to put this.]

She was picked up from a bad situation by a crew whose members we... know well.

And thank you, by the way. [Because Nami was useless except for kid-carrying duties.] I'm sorry I had to leave you.

[She figures there's a "it's complicated" somewhere in that pause. And another day she might have followed up on it, but she doesn't have the concentration now. Best to just get the basics down.]

Sure, but don't worry about it. I clearly needed the practice if I'm letting things like this happen. [Gesturing to the wound.]

[Definitely an "it's complicated", but her answer is still honest. The essay it'd take to explain properly isn't really useful here.]

You sound like my swordsman. But I'm glad you're okay. I'm not much use without my own weapons from home.

Welll, swordsmen are wise. Hopefully. What's your weapon of choice? [Curious even if she should be resting. That'll come soon. Weapon talk is important.]

[She snorts at that. Zoro is anything but wise. But:]

It's a staff. Ah. Specialised weather tech. [Complicated.]

So, not just a big stick then? [because that seems pretty doable.]

Not quite. I mean I replaced the big stick part of it when I just got here, but it won't measure up against someone like Winter without the other part.

[Though to be honest Nami might be able to stall him for like oh...

...yeah about five seconds, maybe not.]

Did it control the weather? [Did it just make scary thunder sounds?]

More or less. [Grin.] Also great for unlimited hot showers. Great in the last place I was in.

You must have been popular. [If she shared. And normally she'd have more follow-up questions but her head is throbbing and she should probably focus on herself a little.]

I should probably get going. I'm glad you and the kid are okay.

Yeah. [She smiles, softer.] Go take care of yourself.

That's the plan. You too. [She throws a smile back Nami's way and closes the feed.]
