*Nack hesitates slightly but continues in his work* I'm sorry, Red, but I have to. If you get infected, it could kill you, and we don't know what the hell was on that blade. *Biting the end of the gauze, he rips it in two* Here...*He turns back to the medicine box and pulls out some pain killer* Here. I need you to take some of this, Red. It'll help you. *Looking up, he tosses some to Arson.* You, too. I'd help you with those, but she seems to need more attention. I'm on to you next, though. So don't worry, okay? Not that I can do too much. But I'm almost there.

No problem... thanks for doing what you can. *I take the pills after a slight instinctive hesitation and lean my head back against the wall, waiting for the medication to kick in*

Thanks. *I mumble this towards Gear, head down in shame and solemnity. I follow them inside and stop at the doorway of the other bedroom. I stare as Nack begins to help Red. Arson looks exhausted, bloody and bruised. I look over at Stellar. I can't imagine we make that much of a first impression.* Sorry about the mess.... *I slowly climb upstairs and find some blankets in a spare bedroom. I come back down and stand in the middle of the living room, lost.*

*I try to take the meds but can't swallow...my mouth is dry and the pain takes over. I spit them out, making weezing and coughing sounds I've never heard myself make before. The coughing reignites the pain in my side. I try to motion for Nack to help Arson instead. I'm not working...*

On the couch, Retro. *I keep my voice even, not sure what reaction I'll get from her, minute to minute. When she spreads two of the blankets out Sarah and I lay Poison down on top of them, hopefully keeping the blood off the upholstery*

Stellar heads out to the helicopter, remembering her dear little radio may be able to bring help.
Upon returning to the house, she grabs the broom by the door and sets the radio up in the kitchen.
A beautiful mess, this lot...
The radio comes alive for Stellar and she sends out a message.
Hello out there. Is there anyone in range? My name...is.. Adriana, and I have some friends who were injured...we could use a doctor...
If you can hear me, I'd appreciate the help. Just..let me know and I'll tell you where we are...
Thanks in advance.
Over.
With the message sent, she got to work sweeping up the dust.
No food until the eating place is clean...

*I realize Red needs to take the pills no matter what else Nack can or can't do for her, and think that maybe it would help if I try to mimic BLI. I speak a bit louder this time* Red, take your pills. You're overdue for your medication.
*My radio crackles to life again, and I pick it up. The signal is pretty choppy, and it's hard to hear Blackout* Yeah, this is Arson. We're not so great, but it's about as good as it's going to get. Don't bother trying to meet us, we're way out of range... sorry if this transmission doesn't make it through in one piece. I'm surprised I picked up your signal at all. Over.

*Nack stares at Arson, not quite sure what's happening. Red won't take the pills, and Nack knows it'll help.* Look. I can get you water. It'll make it easier. Don't worry. It'll all be better once you take them. I promise. I-I'll be right back. *He glances up at Arson to make sure Red's being watched and runs out, returning shortly with a glass of water for Red that he got from the sink.* H-here. I...maybe it'll help?

Sorry. *I spread out the blankets and watch as they lay him down.* We uh.... we should get some clean bandages right?

*Overdue on my medication? Something clicks and as Nack hands me the water I pick up the pills and swallow. It hurts like hell, but it was easier this time... somehow...*

Yeah... *I shake my head slightly* We need a surgeon... but in any case, Stellar's not getting her scarf back right away. We shouldn't risk opening the wound back up if the blood's started to clot...

Dust was being unceremoniously kicked out the front door, but the kitchen was clean enough. Perhaps some food could be prepared, if there was anything there.

*I'm just making dinner when I hear the transmission over our radio, which is always on. They need a doctor??? I set down the skillet, sigh, and head to the other room. My brother is already packing up our things. I know I'll have to take down the tent soon, but I try anyway*
This could be a trap, J. Besides, we have to get to Battery City. Isn't that the whole point of our coming out here in the first place?

I'm a doctor, PB, I have to answer. You're my security anyway! You have all those guns... have you even answered her?
*Exasperated, I take the radio from PB* Adriana? This is Jumpstart. I'm a doctor and I believe my brother and I are in your vicinity. Can you give me a location?

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
