(Is the next turn soon?)

[Nakéen]

In 3-4 days, sorry once more :/

I underestimated my exams.

Interlude 6.XX: Shoot the Dog (Planet Gavarle)

To apologize for the delay,

Extrapolate the location of a more sensitive location than an arm (four digits, a taste and a scent ought to be good enough to get a vague idea of the species at least) to bite down on, such as a throat or a face or those dangly bits that you don't know what they are.

[Combat +1 Dangerous Wound -2] [7] -Overshoot-

There is one nice thing with humanoid. Their head is always at the same place. Jim lunges toward the predicted location of the brain vessel, successfully closing his jaw on a face wearing some sort of mask. His fangs sink deep into the flesh of its aggressor, making Jim's mouth run with red blood.

He hears a small explosion as the silent blaster misses its mark, and then feels the other arm closing on him. With the corner of his eye, Jim sees the blaster pointed at close range on his left flank. He experiences a vivid burning pain thrice, and then everything fades to black.

Katerina, deciding a distress beacon is probably quite important, begins to run towards its location. She prepares her new shiny gun.

Katerina arrives in the storage area where the distress signal came from. Then she heard some noise of fighting. Heading toward the source with her trustworthy gun, she sees the Captain lying in a puddle of his own blood, right near the body of an Acrean.

She hears the rushed steps of someone leaving the place ahead.

(What happened to the trio? Did we reach the place?)

(What happened to the trio? Did we reach the place?)

They will never get there in time, but they don't know that.

'Twas prophesied.

[Failbird105]

So the question is, who replaces him, I've got my sheet made and posted in thread already, but there are people ahead of me in the waitli- wait a minute, I'm STILL not even ON the waitlist!

[Harry Baldman]

Ruh roh! Cling on to life rhowever I'm able!

(How did Katerina get there faster than us? )

[Coolrune206]

(How did Katerina get there faster than us? )

(The power of alcohol!!)

Katerina immediately notifies the spaceport authorities of the emergency and attempts to give the captain emergency treatment, using scraps of clothing (either from ripping her own clothing or tearing some non-bloody clothes from the dead Acrean). She decides saving his life is a wee more important than pursuing his attacker.

Thomas is the only one left with medicine skills and he is currently drunk. I think only luck can save the captain now.

[Background +1] [4] -Okay-

With her agitated background, and her past as an ex-asteroid prospector, Katerina picked up some rough yet useful first aid skills. First, she took out some cartridges from a reloading clip, and opened them up. She poured the gunpowder on the Captain's wounds, and then shoved a torn cloth on it to stop the bleeding.

That would do for now, hopefully. Then she contacted the authorities.

Thomas, Sneed and Starbeard arrived not long after, before the authorities.


[Fatal Wound -4 Constitution +0 Luck +2 Crude First Aid +1] [2] -Failure-
Jim is dying

Jim's state was deteriorating very quickly. Before the authorities arrived, was there anything the crew wanted to try?

[Kadzar]

(Guys, did you forget that we're on an inhabited space station? I'm gonna go ahead with my plan that I sort of set up with my last action.)

Not getting any response from the Captain's comm, Thomas starts to get worried, so he decides to call up the station's emergency services.

"Hello, my captain sent out a distress signal, and I haven't been able to contact him. Could you maybe send some security and/or medical personnel to his location?"

(Seems I'm already here. Well, maybe I could have done that as we traveled, but, now that I'm here:)

Thomas will try to perform first aid on the captain.
