"OW! That so totally hurts!" -- Charles Xavier
The battle against the Ohm raged on, and the casualties on the ground were mounting. Injured crew members got emergency treatment in the field, which largely amounted to patching them up so they wouldn't die sometime within the next fifteen minutes. After that, they were quickly picked up by shuttle and brought back to the ship, where they were sent to a medbay that was getting progressively more crowded.
The situation was growing increasingly dire, to the point that Stacy activated one of the AI's to help out.
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency."

"I-I'll be right back, Vivio, so--" Nanoha tore off, not even finishing her sentence, rushing to Fate's bedside without even a moment's thought for her own wounds. When she saw the other girl's chest slowly rising and falling with breath, though, she exhaled sharply, tension melting from her shoulders.
Nanoha reached out to touch her lover's face, brushing a forelock of blonde hair out of her closed eyes. "I should have been there for you," she said quietly. Both Vivio and Fate had been hurt - she couldn't help but feeling like she'd failed them.
But they were both alive. And so was she, despite the pain.

And then the fog in hear brain cleared, and the still fresh memories of the final battle hit her. The Node... they had had a clear shot at it. But then something went wrong... it attacked, and the Guards... one of them charged, and then everything went back.
Fate jolted upright, and had to bite down on her lip to stop herself from screaming. Her side burned, and her head felt like it had been bashed in by Graf Eisen. She very nearly succumbed to the pain again, but she pushed it back, turning towards Nanoha.
"What... what happened...?"
no subject
"Y-You're back on the ship, Fate-mama...!" she replied, trying to fight back tears.
no subject
She looked from Fate to Vivio and back, torn between relief that they were both alive and regret at not being able to protect her family. "They... left. I don't know why."
no subject
"They left? But we... does that mean..."
They failed. They failed to protect a perfect, peaceful world from those monsters, and couldn't do anything to stop them. All that fighting was for nothing, and in the end they couldn't even scratch the Node...
The thoughts whirling around in Fate's mind seemed to be making the pounding in her head even worse, so she took a deep breath, reaching up to rub her forehead in an attempt to push the pain away a bit.
no subject
"...we can get them next time... right?" Vivio asked. That's all they could do, right?

Fate knew she shouldn't kick herself over what happened, but she couldn't help it. They had been able to protect the civilians from the hoard of Ohm, and the planet hadn't been destroyed, but still...
The crew may now know what they're up against, but so do the Ohm. And if they were defeated so easily, what would happen the next time they met?

"...you think staying her counts as my punishment?" Vivio said, trying to change the subject at the moment.
no subject
"You were very brave."
no subject
"I'm proud of you, Vivio."
no subject
"...thank you, Nanoha-mama... Fate-mama..."
no subject
She leaned in to kiss her daughter's forehead. "Try to rest."
no subject
"You too, Nanoha," She said. "You really look like you need to rest."
no subject
"Okay, Nanoha-mama..." Vivio said, trying to get herself comfortable in the bed. First chance she got, she was going to head back for her room and rest there.
no subject
And then she turned back to Fate, shaking her head. "Ah... I'll be fine, Fate-chan. You two need the doctors, not me."
It was a pretty blatant lie, but she delivered it well.
no subject
"Please don't be stubborn about this, Nanoha. You need a doctor too."

A pause. "There aren't any beds that other people don't need more. I'll be fine!"
no subject
"And if you don't want to take another bed, you can have mine." Fate said. And, as if to prove how serious she was, she moved over to the side of the bed, ignoring the pain in her rib and head, and tried to stand up. She nearly fell back onto the bed, but after bracing herself against the wall, managed to shakily get to her feet.
