Orange Team Onward!

[voidtreckermods]

Arrival

Their flight path makes sure they are well out of the way of both the battles taking place and they get to the shield station within an hour as long as they fly quickly.

There are no enemy ships around but it is clear there has been an attack, the shield disk itself is damaged and there seems to be no power in the station.

Once they dock they will be met by some technicians who quickly explain the situation.

Help is needed everywhere. The power needs repaired, the shield needs repaired from the outside, there are injured technicians who need medical care. There is a small med-bay available.

Maintenance

Once the initial crisis is dealt with it is a case of keeping up with things. A patrol is needed to guard the station from other attacks, there are four shield stations in total and so the voidtreckers may chose to split themselves once things are a little calmer.

Keeping up the shields is an almost constant job, especially with the attacks. Once one thing is fixed it seems another thing is down. The maintenance itself is very technical but there are parts that can be done by the unskilled as long as they have direction.

a. Medbay

Dyme wasn't a soldier, and he wasn't a technician. If it couldn't be solved by punching it a few times, he was out of his element. He could, however, handle patching up some of the actual technicians on site. He didn't mind a little blood, and he knew his way around basic things like bandages and getting a wound to stop bleeding with enough pressure.

It didn't stop his hands from shaking in between though, and when he stepped away he took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. "You know, when people talked about missions to help people, I imagined something a little less stressful," he said.

b. Maintenance

He still wasn't a technician, but he could follow direction pretty well and be an extra pair of hands for someone. So long as they didn't mind dumbing things down for him or taking it a little slow.

"Yeah? I was almost expecting a little worse."

Despite that, Waver was looking a little pale in the brief moment things had quieted down; he kept himself busy by taking count of the supplies they still had. Hopefully things wouldn't get bad enough that they ran out, but it would have been smart to keep a handle on what was still available.

[swansongs]

"Worse?" He repeated. "How could this be worse?" Actually, nevermind. He could think of a lot of ways this could be worse. At least everyone was in one piece and they weren't actively under attack. But the fight was out there, and people were getting hurt, and this...this wasn't Dyme's area of expertise, but he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

Shaking his head a little, Dyme looked over. "You doing okay?"

[littlefury]

“You’d be surprised.”

The answer came with all the tone of someone that had, for lack of a better term, seen some shit. Whatever his idea of ‘worse’ actually was, Waver didn’t look like he’d elaborate.

“I’ll be fine, this is just kind of...a lot, even if it isn’t as bad as things could be. What about you?”

[swansongs]

A lot sure was one way to put it. Dyme was just glad they weren't dealing with worse injuries, or else he wouldn't know what to do, and then he'd really be useless.

"I'm alright." He'd hold up, for the sake of helping people. "I just wish there was more I could do." But as it was he was doing his best, and that was what mattered, right?

[littlefury]

"...Yeah, me too." He admitted that with a quiet sigh, shaking his head. "But...well, if things do get worse, it's going to be important to have a few halfway decent medics. So this is better than doing nothing."

[swansongs]

"Yeah, that's true." He hoped things wouldn't get worse though, or else he might be really useless. But he wasn't useless right now; he was actually doing things that helped. He just had to remind himself of that sometimes. "Think there's a chance of picking up some new skills while we're here?" Did medical stuff even work like that, or did they definitely need someone to teach them to learn?

"This is by far the most stressful one, I think. But we'll get through this and things'll be fine."

Her smile's a little pinched, but it's clear she believes what she's saying. They will get through this, and things will be fine. "How are you holding up, anyway?"

[swansongs]

He took a deep breath, nodding. Trying to stay positive probably helped, and sometimes he was great at that, but other times...he wasn't. One way or another though, they would deal with things.

"I'm...I'll be alright," he said. He smiled a little, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "I've never done anything like this before, so I'm just...trying my best."

[mtsilver_conquor]

"It's okay to be scared. Gods only know I am," Eva admits a little ruefully before she exhales with an honest, if tired, smile. "The best is all we can do. If you need help, I'll help. I know enough about first aid that it should be some use."

Hopefully, but like she's admitting she doesn't know. Not right now at least. "And worse case, Princess can sing them to sleep for a bit while we get to work."

[swansongs]

Dyme wouldn't admit that he was scared though, even if he was. If he didn't admit it, he could keep pretending he was braver than he felt. "Thanks." He appreciated the offer, especially since he really only knew about half of what he was doing. There was a lot of guessing and a lot of hoping. "It'd be nice if people stopped getting hurt in the first place." But he doubted that was going to happen, so what he really hoped was that they didn't get hurt too badly.

"Who's Princess?"

[mtsilver_conquor]

"It would..."

But she's pretty sure they both know that's not a realistic expectation right now. So, rather than say what they'd both thinking, she grabs that subject change and grins. "You know the pink fluffball that can be seen around the train sometimes?" When he's not sleeping, napping, with her, or curled up under a seat, or in his pokeball at least. "Would you like to meet him?"

[swansongs]

He nodded. It was kind of hard to miss something that was pink and mobile, especially on a train, though he'd never gotten a look up close. "Yeah, sure." He was intrigued and this was a lot better than worrying about the state of the mission or people getting hurt.

Nerdanel smiles at him understandingly.

"I do rather think this one is a little more exciting, although not so bad as the last one."

[swansongs]

"Exciting is one way to put it," Dyme agreed. Personally, he would've used 'terrifying'. Everything would have been super cool without the fighting and injured people, because space, but... "The last one was worse than this?" How did it get worse than battles in space?

[marriedanidiot]

"Well, depends on how you consider fighting someone who could control a blizzard, I suppose."

She runs a worried hand through her hair, already springing out of it's work-bun.

"I will admit, the stakes are far higher this time."

[swansongs]

"I...don't even know how I'd handle that." How were you supposed to fight a blizzard? The answer was, you probably weren't, you found the person responsible, but still.

"Everything's gonna be alright here, though," he added. "There's a lot of talented people." Who actually knew what they were doing. He hoped. He wasn't one of them though, but he was trying his best.

[marriedanidiot]

"I am sure you would have done your best." She smiles understandingly at him

"Just as you are doing here."

[swansongs]

"Yeah, you're right," he said, though he was a little sheepish. "Not sure my best would've done a whole lot of good, but I would've tried." Just like he was doing now. "I just hope everyone else is doing alright." The people who were doing way more important jobs than he was--and way more dangerous, too.

The extent of Yugi's help was quite basic first aid. He could use bandages and that was pretty much the job Yugi had been assigned for the moment. He head plans to help out elsewhere and maybe attempt to learn but now was not that time.

Looking over he was at least glad he wasn't the only one who didn't seem to have magical healing powers or know more beyond the basics. "I guess we both are the same basic first aid, but nothing more, huh?"

[swansongs]

Nodding, Dyme glanced over. "I picked up some basics growing up, but that's about it. I wish there was more I could do." But he didn't know about technical stuff, and he couldn't handle more severe injuries. "But I guess all we can do is our best."

[sizedoesntmatter]

"I agree, I wish there was more I could do as well. But this just makes me more determined to try and maybe learn some skills when we get back." He knew right now all he could do was to do his best as he sorted out someone with basic bandaging.

[swansongs]

"You know, that's a good idea." Dyme hadn't thought of it himself; he'd been too busy thinking about how to apply his few skills to the situation, and what would happen if things got worse. But now that he was thinking about things, he was sure there were people on board who knew way more than him about a lot of things, including medical skills. "I should look into learning some new things, myself. Assuming we all make it out of this in one piece."

[sizedoesntmatter]

"I already asked someone I know to teach me a few things. Not medical stuff but something else because it seems useful." He had moved onto some else else and looked them over before knowing that he couldn't deal with it and calling another over to help.

"I can always ask him to teach you as well should you want it. Odds are it would be along the lines of technical stuff"

[swansongs]

He hesitated a moment. "I'm not sure I'd be good with anything technical, but I guess it couldn't hurt to try." Not that he'd ever been a good student, but maybe things would be different here. It was, at least, a good distraction to stop his hands from shaking so much while he tended to wounds. "I've never been good at picking things up, unless it was related to music." Or maybe the difference had been how passionate he was about music.
