Orange Team Onward!

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.

"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.

"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?"

“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?”

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?

"...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."

"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?
