Man I'm Just Trying To Shop For My Kid Here

Who: Otono-somethingsomething Makie and you
Broadcast: fleetwide audio.
Action: Junkstation
When: Soon after the events of this post.

[Audio]

There are slavers aboard the waystation who are actively seeking cargo [The mildly courteous tone Makie is known for is absent, though she doesn't sound angry.  Inflectionless.  Possibly a little strained, if anyone knows her well enough.] 

This is the second time I know of they've attempted to take someone, and this time they've succeeded.  His name is... Max.  He's a crew member of the Starstruck.

We know where he is.  [Thanks to polite inquiries made of a survivor.  Very polite inquiries.]  We need assistance to retrieve him. 

...and a doctor, also.  Thank you.

[...totally asking for Tempest on that last one, okay.]

if you need a lift and someone to watch your back, I can help out.

[Furiosa can't say she's surprised; Max seems to be a magnet for tragedy, but this time it's different; it's not nature rising up, but it's the sick and twisted greed of men. This time, it's personal.]

[That this announcement is coming from Makie is a something of a comfort, if small compared to the blaze of anger Furiosa has for the slavers; she's sparred with the other woman before, she knows she's capable.]

[The feed snaps open to her leaning in close, fierce and ready for a fight.]


Count me in.

[Oh, dear. Monty's run into enough trouble of his own on the waystation and almost getting plucked up by slavers and worse, but there is a way he can help that doesn't seem to involve fighting.]

I'm one of the medical officers aboard the Heron. [More or less. Lab support staff. He's... well, he's about as close as he can get. And this medical assistance makes him useful.] May I ask where I can meet you and what injuries are involved? I'll need to bring the appropriate equipment or have you come to our medical bay.

[she's sitting nearby, grumbling under her breath as she investigates the worst of her injuries - and immediately stopping at the mention of a doctor. Her head jerks up and she frowns, eyeing Makie]

I hope that request is for yourself.

[she immediately drops her hand, nose wrinkling]

I am used to stubborn men who do not know when to seek help when they need it, so I apologize.

[look at her gracefully sidestepping any thinly disguised lecture-observations, so smooth]

[Makie's visual is worrying. Whose blood is that? Is is hers, is it Max's? Fortunately, Furiosa has gotten good at channeling her rage just under the surface. She nods.]

I'll meet you on the station, then.

Do you want me to bring any additional weapons? [BNecause of course she's coming armed.]

[personal profile] noprophecies 2016-10-27 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
That they do. I have known my fair share. [she agrees, Max is one. He told her to run, so he's dumb]

I do, for all that he will likely not be happy about it. [she tilts her head] Do you intend to as well?

[she inclines her head a bit, accepting. She may be a bit of a hypocrite, having prepared to scold her if she had said otherwise, but it appeared she didn't need to be.

She winces a bit and presses her fingers into her side, judging the damage]


I can heal it if you like, once a doctor has looked at it. At the very least it will stop the bleeding and allow it to heal a bit quicker.

[she could only manage smaller healing spells up here but she has to offer regardless. Makie did save her, after all]

[Unfortunate. But, Furiosa is sure Makie left her attacker in worse condition.]

On my way. [She cuts the feed and prepares herself. When she arrives, she's got a shotgun, pouches with extra rounds, a knife, and she's slathered the top half of her head with black grease. She's ready to go to war.]

[!!!]

I-I'm from the Starstruck! If there's anything I can do, I want to help!

[She doesn't know who Max is (since he never gave his name, the grump) but if he's on her crew, then...!]

When this is over, I'll show you a few things.

[She wishes she had brought an extra gun, she would have tossed it to Makie and given her a crash course in firearms. As it is, she's not willing to waste any time going back to the First Breath for anything.]

So what kind of crowd are we dealing with?

[personal profile] noprophecies 2016-10-27 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
—no, no, I should have offered before you made the call. A doctor would be better regardless, I am not as powerful as a proper healer.

[she'd been so caught up "questioning" their captive and everything else that it'd slipped her mind. She generally didn't bother to heal herself]

[Furiosa takes it and turns it over, looking at it fully.] yeah, I've seen something like this. Delivers an electric shock.

[She hands it back to Makie.] It's not a gun but it packs enough power to knock a man flat.

[Ochako does falter for a moment, hands lifting to cover her mouth - because wow, that sure does look like more blood than she's generally used to - but she's quick to force back her fear in favour of stubbornly nodding her head. If she's going to be a pro hero one day, she has to be able to deal with this.]

I can fight a little! And if you need help evacuating people, I can carry them out!
