"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."

"Getting along would decrease our chances of getting our nasses burned the next round we have with the Ohm." She arches her back and little and tilts her head back, feeling the muscles stretch in her back and neck. "But the reality is that some of us don't want to hold hands and sing Kumbaya all together. Some of us want to continue to poke each other with our sticks and lob stones at those we don't like." Sad, but very true.

"Well I'm not going to do that anymore," Katara said. "It never works, never ends well. All of the fights in my world were successful because we were all united in the cause of ending the war in our world. Even certain masters in warring nations joined together in an effort to stop the madness that was consuming everyone. Every time we have a battle, we wind up bickering like little children, and it tears us apart. If people want to get mad at each other instead of fighting our threat, then they can do it by themselves. I'm not going to be a part of that anymore."

Nura takes a moment to look at Katara. To really look. The girl has spunk, that's for sure. And determination like no other. It's admirable, and certainly carries an inkling of rebellion.

"Then what the ship needs is group therapy of some sort. Or a Getting To Know You seminar." She's joking, a little, but also is considering the idea seriously.

"We need to get out of our alcoves and really start meeting each other," Katara said. "I may have met a lot of friends, but that happened because I presented myself, tried to see the things the way they did. My world is nowhere near as advanced as many of yours, but because of where I'm from, it is in my nature to adapt to the situations that face me now. We need that too."

She took a drink of water: she was pretty famished "Pilots, aliens, witches, demons, angels, whatever we are, we're all stuck here on Stacy, and if we don;t band together, I'm afraid of what the Ohm will do to us the next time. If they make our disunity a target, how much easier will it be to defeat us?"
