Mining Planet- IC

[Cliff Racer]

Tyress smiles at her, hardly needing his clipboard any longer. "Ah, it is nothing serious at all! You simply have cryo-sickness. A quick shot of vitalex and you will be feeling good as new!" He sets his clipboard down and prepares the needle. "Now, all I am going to do is give you a quick shot in your arm. Quick and painless."

[napsii]

Sarah groaned mentally at the damage to the thermal manipulators, but pushed away her irritation. It was time to fix the problem! And the first step was identifying the cause of the damage. She clearly remembered it not being there last she checked... so what could it be?

She pressed a few buttons, made the computer beep and boop and tried to access the exterior camera looking over the damaged part of the ship and the terrain around it.

"Um okay"..knew her rubber worksuit only opened from the front and so she would have to half strip to expose her arm. "can i not have it in my neck?" she whimpered fumbling with the black corseting around her midsection hoping not to have to remove her suit.

[Taria]

No such equipment exists for Sarah to utilize. Damn budget cuts. Looks like the only option is to send someone to check it out.

The shot goes into Emily's arm with a quick hiss of pressure and injects the healing medicine. Immediately the unsettling feeling in her stomach disappears and she feel warmth returning to her limbs.

[napsii]

"What the fuck! Who even does that!?" Sarah demanded of nobody in particular. Did they seriously strip the exterior surveillance cameras off of this rig? What a terrible design choice. Well, maybe she could just draft one up from memory and install them at a later date.

She guessed she had to check it out on foot. A job done right is the one that you do yourself, or she was told. Was that it? She forgot. Anyway, she wasn't going to go alone, and so looked for a PA system or something to contact one of the security twits to accompany her. As per protocol. The CCC would also probably want to know about it, but fuck them.

[BlueLight]

Zardon walks to a chair and sits down saying "gutun tog" (I bet i misspelled that!)

[Taria]

A soft beep emit throughout the entire station as Sarah presses the button on the PA system. beep~ "....."

Kayliee flicks the butt of her smoke into the trashes and gazes at Zardon with a raised eyebrow. "Watcha be wantin?"

[napsii]

"Er..." Sarah took note of that she was on the PA, and heard her hesitance echo in the corridors outside.

"This is Engineer Sarah. Need security personnel in the engine room." she said nervously, and then clicked it off. She wiped a hand across her forehead in relief, as if she had just avoided a railgun slug to the head.

[BlueLight]

"This annoying wait to be over. You?" he asked while taking out a blu and pressing the button on it. The device lights up with a blue light and he puts it in his mouth. Water vapors enter his lungs and leave, leaving very little medical damage.

[Taria]

"This is Engineer Sarah. Need security personnel in the engine room." beep~

Kayliee hears the announcement over the intercom and heads towards the door. "I'm just here to follow orders." She says, turning her head back towards Zardon one last time before leaving.
In the engrineering bay she enters and leands against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest. "You called?"

[napsii]

Sarah had been scouting out the shelves and containers full of techno-junk during the wait, looking a complete toolbox so she could make a closer, physical inspection of the damaged parts if it was necessary.

She looked over her shoulder as Kayilee arrived. "Oh, good, yeah... uh... long story short, something on the outside got damaged and I dunno how. Need you to come with me so I can check it out because... well, protocol." she said to-the-point as distracted as she was by her rifling.

"Just let me get my techno-doctor's kit." she added, smiling awkwardly and looking for it. "Techno-doctor's kit" was sort of an in joke among engineers being slang for toolbox. It was named after a particularly ridiculous advertising campaign for a handyman service where the employees were notorious for being drunk or high. It made the news a few times.

[Taria]

Sarah finds an adequate toolbox full of all the basic tools for tinkering, repairing, modifying, and what-have-you. Kayliee stand the patiently waiting as she wields her weapons one by one, giving them a close examination.

[napsii]

"Ah, here... be tools..." Sarah mumbled to herself, finding a sleek toolbox which she listed off every gizmo that should be inside to make sure it was present. With it in hand she motioned for Kayliee to follow her and walked out the door.

"Alright, let's go. Shouldn't take long... I hope." she said, walking towards the exit to the surface closest where the damaged components were.

[Taria]

Kayliee and Sarah slip outside and head towards the problem area. Right outside the station is a large termite-looking nest with metal looking bugs about the size of a human's fist scuttling around. A couple every now and then one will crawl out and gnaws into the side of the ship and then carry the bits of metal into the nest.

[napsii]

Sarah cringed, taking a step back. Bugs! Fucking huge ones! Her hate for bugs was unending, and it didn't help that these ones in particular were something from a nightmare. Not to mention they were eating her damn ship.

"I'm not going near while those things are there." she said plainly to Kayilee. "Are you going to kill them?" she questioned after a pause.

[Taria]

Kayliee draws her shock ray and fires upon the big beetle. It twitches with an electrical shock and then curls over on its back with a squeal. Many more beetles begin poking their head out of the nest and crawling towards boht Sarah and Kayliee with aggressive clacks. "I don't think they're happy abou'tat." Kayliee comments, aiming both rays.

[napsii]

Sarah winced at the violence, and took another step back as the beetles regrouped and began clicking towards them.

"What do we do? I'm not trained for this." she said.

[Taria]

Kayliee tosses Sarah one of the rays as she unslings the spear from her back. "Stay back." She tells the woman as she begin jabbing at the bugs. With hearty thrusts she jabs them in the back and zaps two into crispy carcasses.

[Cliff Racer]

Tyress is glad that the short medical treatment is over- He can get back to doing other stuff! That includes fidgeting around the medbay and making sure everything is within quick access. He decides to listen to that pre-recorded message, finally, crossing his legs and seeming incredibly bored on purpose.

[napsii]

Sarah found herself jabbing futilely at the little bugs, trying more to not injure herself with the weapon than deal any real damage. These things were going to be a problem...
