[OOM] Above Onderon - The Wyrm.

[stuck_mynock]

The trip to the Wyrm is fairly uneventful. They slide into its vast, almost empty landing bay and land silently, lights flicking off one by one.

Atton peers out of the cockpit speculatively, adjusting his gauntlet. The walls are metal, that much is clear, but wound through with something dark, organic and porous, that pulsates with the heartbeat coming from deeper within the ship.

"Nice."

Guppy turns his head towards Atton, but he can't see him... his grip on his leg loosens, and he passes out with little more than a quiet whimper.

His pulse is very fast and weak, getting close to two hundred beats per minute. A small stream of pulsating blood can be seen oozing out of his foot.

Atton crouches down by Guppy, quickly healing up his leg before moving over to Will and healing his leg, too.

Around them, the lights all across the ship go dark.

A voice crackles over his earpiece.
"The Sith soldiers have gone inert. The war crabs are still active, but we can deal with those."

"Okay. We'll finish up here and take our leave, let you lot sort the rest out."

"Oh aye, thank ye, Atton."

Guppy struggles to regain consciousness; he's lost a fair amount of blood. But once the bleeding has stopped he starts to stir.

"I feel sick." he says, reaching up to his neck to feel his own carotid pulse.

He can feel the bottoms of his trousers are soaked in his own blood. Remembering where he is, he realises that he's going to have to get up and probably run in a minute. He controls his breathing, slow deep breaths, trying to focus on the room.

"C'mon. We should get to the Dragonfly before this ship completely shuts down."

Atton considers, for a moment, then decides to just pick Guppy up and head for the lift.

Will stands up once he can and nods,

"Aye."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy, relieved that he doesn't have to stand yet, clings to Atton. He is slightly cool and sweaty to the touch.

He hopes they can get back to the ship without having to fight anything else. He's not at all sure that he could right now.

The temperature starts to rise, just slowly.

"We should have plenty of time to get to the Dragonfly before this ship falls apart and burns up in the atmosphere," Atton says. The lift, it seems, luckily still works, so once they're inside it starts heading down towards the landing bay.

"Oh aye, glad to 'ear that. 'ow are ye doin', Guppy?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Gimme a couple of minutes." Guppy says, hoping they make it in time.

The lift doors open just as the ship gives a jerk and a long whine.

Atton heads for the Dragonfly, lowering the ramp and heading up into it. Guppy is deposited in a comfy spot.

Will fetches Guppy a water and then stands beside Atton to see where they go next.

Guppy thanks Will and Atton, then reaches over to grab his kit bag from nearby.

He takes some sips of water, then gets the fluid resuscitation kit out of his bag and starts trying to put an intravenous line in his arm. He succeeds on the fourth moderately painful attempt, attaches a bag of colourless fluid and sets it going at a reasonable rate.

With Guppy dealt with, Atton gets around to healing his shoulder. He's a little faint from the blood loss, even after it's closed up, but he figures he's well enough to fly the ship.

A few minutes later, they're soaring away, as the Wyrm sparks and explodes behind them.
