The Bunker of Nariba Relia | OPEN PLOT MINGLE POST

Who: Everyone!!
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The bunker in the surrounding desert.
When: Sometime recently, see this post for full information. Below is the excerpt of information listed there. Feel free to make a top comment and thread out the sad truth and whatnot.

[Records buried in the library, the research facility, and cues from the power plant will eventually reveal the bunker in the surrounding desert. The passageway leads several yards underground, and it doesn’t appear to have been used in a long time. Those brave enough to venture inside will find that it is not much more than a tomb. Eerily enough, the emergency lights are still on, casting a soft red glow over sheets and the once-bodies beneath them.

It has been long enough that paper journals, books, and personal belongings (like bags and such) have deteriorated to the point of being extremely fragile. Handled with care, however, they are eager to tell a story.

“The engineers should have been more careful. I’m not sure I’ll be able to recoup my losses from this… At least I have enough money to buy a ride off this planet!”

“No one could have known this would happen. Hopefully it stabilizes so we can go home soon. In the meantime, I’ve been teaching my daughter how to count. She doesn’t understand what’s going on, and I don’t know what to tell her.”

“It’s not getting better. So many people have died that we’re running out of room in the morgue. We had to move all of the food to another room so that the smell doesn’t leach out, but we all know what’s back there.”

“The replicator was supposed to repair us, too.”

“I don’t know if we can go back yet, but it doesn’t matter. Even if the city was back to the way it was, there’s no cure for us. The dead are dead, and we lay down next to them as we wait for our turn.”

There is nothing that can be done for these people except to give them the eternal rest they deserve. Ultimately, the fate of Nariba Relia is a sad one and not altogether preventable.]

Yeah, that makes sense. [Except... folding her arms and giving him an assessing glance.] So you've probably got a stretching and strengthening routine to keep it from getting worse and help it to get better, right?

[Right?]

[oh my god]

Yes, mom, I've got a routine. Not much I can do for it besides stretch it out, though. Kind of a "deal with it and ignore it" deal.

[Heh. Katara rolls her eyes at him and starts walking.]

Well... if you're following it and it's still not helping, maybe I can take a look at it? I don't know if it will help, but it couldn't hurt.

[he follows after her, making a concentrated effort not to limp]

I dunno what you can do for it either, but - [a shrug] If you want? Fair warning - it's not pretty.

[She pauses and turns back to him.]

I won't know if I can help you unless I look. I've never treated anyone with your injuries before, but if it's what I think it is causing you pain, I can probably help with that. It'll only take a few minutes to find out.

[She waits to see if he's game.

...maybe she'll realize that she didn't explain about her bending in a moment, but it's just... really obvious to her, so...]
privateeyed: (i think they got it all wrong)

[he stops as well and raises an eyebrow. Normally, he'd turn her down; seeking out help of any kind is just something he doesn't do unless it becomes necessary. As for this . . . it's something he's lived with forever now. He's grown used to it.

Still . . . it couldn't hurt to let her try. It isn't like he hasn't tried everything else already]


I'm game. [he shrugs again] Just don't get upset when it doesn't work. That isn't - being pessimistic either, I've just done a lot already to try and deal with it.

[She holds back a sarcastic: I'll try not to cry about it, because... well, they do barely know each other, and he's extending a lot of trust in letting her take a look. So she just ignores his warning. After all, he's right, it's possible that her healing wouldn't be able to help. She hasn't felt any difference in her powers since she's come here, but she hasn't tried to heal anyone since she's been here either.]

Do you want to have a seat or find a room somewhere?

[There's got to be a random overturned box somewhere in the hanger, isn't there always?]
