Chapter Four: Fork In The Road
-
Apollo looked at the brain scan again. “He’s fine, he’s just been knocked a bit.”
-
Odysseus walks in, staring at his portable interface and spouting off numbers to SAL through a comm-link. “We’ve almost… Got-” Odysseus looks up and sees Jack. “What happened to him?!” (Also, where are we all right now? The planet? The ship?) <i>Odysseus approaches Jack and pulls out a scanner and a needle like device. He pokes areas of Jack’s wounds, and they begin to take on a metallic sheen around the edges.</i>
-
Geralt, during the entire process of helping Jack, has been organized weapons and munitions. Now the hold with all of the gear is more organized than a museum. It’s perfect! Amidst the arsenal, Geralt had found his rifles. he had reloaded them and stocked his jacket and pants with ammo, and he was set and ready like usual. This will be so much better now that I have me babies! Geralt rises from the hold and goes to the medbay after hearing a loud THWUMP (that being Jack). Once he looked in the doorway he saw Rose. Faye, she is here… Geralt pushes down every feeling he has for Rose and walks into the medbay, his face hard as stone. Once he noticed Jack on the ground he said without any inflection in his voice What happened this time? Geralt looks to Faye and Apollo for an answer, then to Rose once he remembered she was the one with him.
-
Jack rose from the floor, groaning. He had bloodshot eyes, and leaned on the table for support. He pulled out the metal contraption Ody had added to his head, placing the bloody device on the table.
“Just…let it heal on it’s own.” He staggered to Geralt, putting a hand on his shoulder.
“Did you get the armory?” He asked, his voice parched and gravelly.
-
Apollo brought Jack a bottle of a liquid that was boiling. “You sound dehydrated. Drink this, it’s rather cold. It’s not liquid nitrogen, I already gave that to Pandora.”
-
“HiFly, if I drink that, I can guarantee I’ll feel much worse.” He said, sitting down in a chair.
-
Rose giggled as she relaxed, glad that Jack was back to himself again.
-
Apollo shrugged. “You’re missing the liquid asparagus!” Apollo then handed the bottle to Rose. “Enjoy!”
-
Rose shrugged, unaffected by the heat as she gulped down the drink. “Thank you Mr. Pure Breed.”
-
Harvin stormed into Midzog’s room. “There are natives on the planet. We almost got them but they got away. One’s a buff looking man and the other is a female Ascendii. She looks pretty.”
-
Andaluza tapped Jack and gave him a hug. “You’re alright!”
-
Midzog looked up.
“Was he 5’4″ and spewing profanity?” He said, staring at Harvin.
-
Harvin looked intently at Midzog. “He had a large mouth, but I’d say he was around 5’5″ or so.”
-
Apollo looked down at the planet. “We gotta take Betty down there. Rose, Pandora, and I will try to create a shielding to prevent the radar from spotting us. No use destroying it, since Midzog will know. We’ll decide what to do when we get there.”
-
“I shouldn’t have fucking gone, now they know.” Jack said, getting up and punching the table, shattering a hole through it.
