Infirmary

<<Suji Kinagi -- Vet -- Infirmary>>

Spoiler:

Kinagi headed to the nurses station hoping to find someone who could get together the items she needed to proceed. She also needed to track Carrie or Gus down to get a second opnion. When she read that this being was from another reality she began to have a small discussion with herself. What was Foster thinking? It is bad enough when they ask me to treat humans, but alternate reality beings. Well I guess when you think of it, maybe it is more in my line. I am an expert in foriegn creatures. I guess she would fall more into that category than just plain old homo sapiens.

Her thought process was disturbed by an individual making a whoever may respond to me inquiry at the desk. "Hello Captain," she noted the rank on the woman's uniform. "Is there something we can do to assist you?" She had to laugh at how preposterous that statement was. What would she be able to do to help. Other than track down help.


((i think Kym is a captain ~~ was too lazy to look! d'oh ^ siggy!!))

[ Waiting area ] (( I was going to point that out. ))

"Hi, Doc," Kym answered, "I hope you can. Sgt. Foster says that Ryn Chikozu is down here and wants to talk to me."
The woman leaned closer and muttered, "Was she in another fist fight, by any chance?"
While Tyler respected the general and kind of liked the man, she wasn't sure how the symbiote was affecting him. From her limited experience, the snakes could be arrogant and short tempered.

<<Suji Kinagi -- Vet -- Infirmary ~~ Nurses Station/Waiting Area>>

"Oh! That would explain the facial bruising." Was Kinagi's absent minded first response. She scribbled some notes on the chart.

She finally looked up to actually address the Captain, "Hello, how are you today?" She could hear Timothy prodding her to act like a human doctor. She wondered which one to emulate. Her attitude could vary quite a large spectrum with that in mind. She hesitated before giving a response to the woman, "You must be the woman's CO?" Continuing on that assumption she figured it was okay to release limited information.

"Yes, Airman Chikozu is here for a short stay with us. You could say she was in a, ummm, another fight of sorts. With a Tiger Deer. But, you will be happy to know she won this battle." Her head cocked a little to the side as she gave an inquisitive look. "If you have a seat here for a few minutes, I will be heading in that direction and I would be happy to escort you back to her."

She then wandered back to the nurses station to see if she could locate Carrie. "Timothy didn't mention interacting with CO's in this bargain." Was muttered under her breath as she walked away.

<<Kevin Cooper ~~ Visitor's Room ~ Infirmary>>

Cooper continued to relax back into his chair. It rocked only two legs on the ground. He continued to smirk, admiring the woman's fire. He gloated over acquiring just the reaction he had desired from her. He was tired of this whole Brihanna conversation so he just blew it off without a response.

The arrival of the airman came as a nice comic relief. It became more interesting when it was obviouos there was a little something between the two of them. "Of that I am very sure." Was his reply to the airman's comment on the quality of the 'grub'. His tone full of sarcasm.

He watched Jennyfer as she squirmed trying to explain the reality of why she was alone in this place with this man. He had no intention of making it any easier for her. "Come on Jenny, the food is getting cold." His emphasis on Jenny was obvious. He smiled at the airman, "Thank you airman, I am sure someone out front can handle it. Be a good lad and see what you can do."

Cooper watched as the young man exited. "Your boyfriend? I must admit I was beginning to think there was something between you and the chaplan. I guess I was mistaken." He continued to rock in his seat and awaited her to serve him his meal.


((sry JM ... Cooper hasn't been coming to me lately!!!))

[Nurse Jennyfer Santiago-Staff Lounge]

Jennyfer did little to mask the icy glare that she sent the councilman's way. She was becoming increasingly frustrated with the man as the moments dragged on. In fact, by the time he actually left the base, she was almost certain that she would glad to see him go. It took everything in her not to react to his use of the nickname.

As soon as Brinkley had left the room, however, Cooper's comments could no longer be ignored. Her eyebrows shot up at the man's insinuations concerning herself the various males that she had interacted with that day. "Mr. Cooper, I really don't know what you are trying to imply with those statements, but I don't appreciate them. Who I date and don't date is frankly none of your business. And for the record, I have never been on a date with either Airman Brinkley or the Chaplain. Therefore, neither can be considered my boyfriend." Somehow, Jennyfer had managed to keep her voice calm as she spoke. But it was the dangerous calm that threatened to boil into much more if the man across from her dared to continue his current course of conversation.

The nurse skillfully opened the first container of food that the mess had sent and placed its contents in front of the councilman. "There. Now don't expect me to feed it to you too." She commented sarcastically as she waited for the man to eat his dinner so she could take his blood and then stand out of the way as the General sent him on his merry way back where he came from.

Facial bruising! Kym was too shocked to interpret the comment correctly. Cr@p! She did take a swing at him. Tyler knew the assumption was unkind to both Chikozu and Blue but, couldn't help it.
"No, I'm not ..." She snapped her mouth shut at hearing the change in rank. Dammit. Harvey f***ked up and I didn't catch it either.
Before the woman could ask anything else, the doctor gave her the usual 'have a seat and wait' speech and walked off. Kym didn't sit but began pacing the tiny waiting area. What the hades happened after I left? What was Ryn doing out from base? When did the d@mn tiger-deer start shifting their range over here? I wonder if it was one in fall rut? They'll attack anything.
The questions tumbled over themselves looking for answers.

Carrie winced and nodded, “Yeah, well walls have a tendency to be pretty unyielding when they want to…” and then suddenly caught Sujie’s searching eyes and waved her over before looking back at Zack, ‘Okay, up and walking, some color on his cheeks…’ “Look, I just need to exchange a few words with Dr Kinagi, so why don’t you just grab a cot in the Med bay and I’ll be with you as soon as I can. Do you think you can do that without any detours down the hallways?” Carrie looked at Sarah in the couch "Or better yet, let Sarah here escort you there?"

She shot a glance towards Kym as she paced the area as she waited for a reply from Zack 'Yep, never wrong about that assumption; One team member down and soon at least another one shows up...'

<<Kevin Cooper ~~ Visitor's Room ~ Infirmary>>

"Fair enough, the lovely Jenny doesn't limit herself by having a single boyfriend." For a second he felt a smallest pang of, no, not really. "No one is forcing you to talk of anything. I was just trying to carry on a friendly conversation to pass the time. If I got too personal, then I apologize." He knew his apology was insincere but, his tone and facade did not betray his insincerity.

He watched her as she unveiled his meal. He found the sarcasm of her comment amusing yet, he continued his charade of be concerned of her feelings. "I appreciate all of your help nurse Jennyfer. There is no need of any further assistance. I think I can handle eating." He poked at the meal before him frowning. It wasn't that there was really anything wrong with the food. It was the mere fact that it was cafeteria food. Far below the standards of Kevin Cooper. He was used to his custom cooked meals at his hoity-toity parties and dinners and such.

He watched the drained nurse before him and forced himself to eat a couple of bites. He washed it down with the coffee. "Do you have any sparkling mineral water on base?"


((jenny is a far better woman than i, i would have dumped that plate of food in his lap!))

[aintright]

<<Zach Black ~~ Infirmary>>

Even if Zach couldn't make it to the cot he would never admit it. No way he was doing the rolling chair with only one good arm. What would be the fun if he couldn't pull a wheelie or two. "Yes ma'am, I think I can make my way to it. Probably not much grabbing. I will just sit there like a good patient. No detours, I promise."

He grinned and looked down to Sarah. "You don't have to hang. I seem to be in good hands. Why don't you go and eat with Ashwood?" He started to move in the direction of the beds. He knew the drill. With all of the after mission check overs he had become a pro.

[aintright]

<<Suji Kinagi -- Vet -- Infirmary ~~ Waiting Area>>

Kinagi caught eye contact with Carrie and was relieved when she motioned her over. She patiently awaited her interaction with what seemed to be the latest of Carrie's patients.

"Carrie, hello. Seems you are having one of those days. I am really glad to find you. I am treating a patient for Sergeant Foster. An airman attacked by a Tiger Deer. I just had a few questions and wanted to run by you my desired course of action." She really felt for the woman before her. The exhaustion was apparent on her face. Knowing Carrie she was working her third shift in a row without a break.

[Ryn]

<Med Bay>

Ryn hadn't managed to find sleep after all.
When Foster had left, she'd jolted wide awake, at the sound of the voices from beyond the med bay door. She now watched another man enter the bay, and frowned slightly when she recognised him. Oh. Look. It's that civvie. Wonder if he remembers lil ole me. Gah. I guess I'll have to show my face to the others sometime..... While it was 'fun' (if that was the word) to hide in the Infirmary, Ryn knew she would eventually have to face the other officers on base. Other. As if I was ever one. She snorted mentally at herself. Probably will never make officer at this rate... Her facial expression showed her inner feelings - depression probably was the most of it. Though she wasn't going to address the man, she simply nodded at him when he made his way through the beds, then relaxed further in the bed, hoping so much she could find some sleep.

There was one other man ((Dean Holmes)) in the med bay, Ryn realised when she looked around on her quest for sleep.
It wasn't someone she immediately recognised, but he seemed sound asleep. She could partly see through the curtains' small open space, from where she sat, and could make out the colour of his hair, and some facial contours as well. Nice guy...

Immensely glad the gown she wore didn't bear any rank insignia whatsoever, she watched Dr Black (finally, remembered the name) settle down.

‘Good patient uh? I’ll believe it when I see it,’ Carrie made a silent grin-snort and then turned towards Sujie.
“Come on Sujie, don’t give me that look, I’ll sleep when I’m old, okay? I’m fine.” She gave her a grin and then got all business again.
“Right, Ryn. Yeah, I know about her… I was up in the hangar bay when she came back after the attack. It looked bad, but not as bad as some of the sheep I saw over at the Thompson farm a couple of months ago, they were umm…” Carrie winced and shook her head about the memory “well… lets just say that there was no need for me to even try to patch them up. So, what did you want to ask about? I’ve got her medical file on the computer over there” She pointed towards one of the computers on the desk in the nurses’ station.

Tim entered the waiting area and spotted Captain Tyler impatiently pacing the area.
‘Oh, crap… I didn’t expect her to arrive that soon… It wasn’t exactly a medical order… Oh, well, better deal with it sooner rather then later…’
He took a deep breath and walked over to her, giving her a nod.
“Captain?”

<<Zach Black ~~ Infirmary ~~ Med Bay>>

Black moseyed himself back to the med bay and picked out his usual cot. His usual, he began to shake his head at himself and snickered. It was true though. Sharp always took the first cot you came to, it was first in, first out. Claire was always right next to him with her little poking remarks. That was what baffled him the most, the two of them apart. Kim was always across the aisle in her spot and then Zach next door in his usual. Sarah, the quiet one, found her way through the crazies to her place next to Claire. He smiled as the fond memories flooded his mind. A picture that he probably would never see again. He got an ill feeling when the reality hit him in the face, WHO WOULD FILL THAT COT! A little shudder ran down his back.

A movement from the corner of his eye broke his chain of thought. It was the redhead from earlier. After a deep breath he forced himself to his feet. He slowly made his way to her curtain and tapped on a nearby pole. "Knock, knock, knock, are you open for company?" He slowly peeked around the edge of the curtain. "Hello! He held his hand up in a stop motoin. "Please no running this time. Don't listen to what my teammates say. I really don't bite." He winked and stepped around making an 'is it okay to enter motion'.

<<Suji Kinagi -- Vet -- Infirmary ~~ Waiting Area>>

Suji looked into her friends eyes, "Carrie, I am kind of partial to your company. I want us to be able to share those old times." She knew she was wasting her breath. The Doctor was as much of a die hard as she was.

She titled her head a little, "Bad, I wouldn't say it is that bad. I am thinking of letting the wounds air heal. No stitches, to ward off possible infection and make monitoring easier. Some antibiotics, fear was more of infection than of the actual wounds. "We are talking the redhead airman?"

She followed Carrie to the computer and reviewed the file for the Airman.

Ryn gave a sarcastic snort in answer. "Wouldn't be able to run even if I wanted to. I need that." She motioned towards the IV bag stand parked next to the bed which delivered the oh-so-needed painkillers and to her gown. "They really know how to keep you down here, as it were." She had the covers pulled up high, though the bandaged wounds were still visible, especially on her upper arms. "So, what's your story here, then. Doctor ? You're a doc, right ? A science one.". Her voice sounded a little confused. She still couldn't wrap her head round that whole difference. She'd only learned this recently, that there could be different kinds of doctors. But. A doc was still a doc. Right ?

[ Waiting area ] (( Yep, they did. Starts here ))

Tyler swung around and took the few steps to join Foster, "Sergeant. What's this about?" Now that she'd had a moment or two to think about it, Kym decided that whatever happened to Ryn, it wasn't caused by Mykonos or Blue, at least not directly.
