Down With the Sickness [very open]

[notlewis]

It was official, come down from the ship herself; there was an outbreak aboard the Transmigration 9.

Naturally, the Contagion Containment Laboratory was unusually crowded-- patients in quarantine bubbles, panicked crew members asking questions, medics and scientists hard at work in desperation to find a cure.

He's stopped flinging himself at the wall of the bubble, and instead is pacing back and forth restlessly. Occasionally, he's glaring down at the bandage covering his one injured hand. If he hadn't come to Medbay to have it looked at, he wouldn't be here now. Katara's question catches his attention, and he stops and gives her a narrow-eyed look. A fairly unpleasant smile appears on his face. "All right? Oh, I'm fine."

Mostly he's mocking her, but there's an edge of anger to his voice as well. Quite suddenly, he lunges forward, bringing both hands up and slamming them against the barrier separating him from Katara. "NOW LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

She wasn't sure whats he was expecting to see, but Jamie losing his cool like this, mocking her and yelling? Definitely not what she'd expected. At the same time, he was also still a friend of hers, and she had promised herself that if any of her friends were here, no matter what they might say to her she would at least try to keep them company. She, for one thing, definitely wanted to know why he had a bandaged hand.

"You know you can't do that," Katara said. "Somebody else might catch whatever this virus is, and that would be bad. You being put here isn't a punishment, just a way to make sure whatever this is doesn't spread. But I thought I;d come to keep you company."

Sam ran in to the quarantine area. He knew her scent from their first meeting, so he knew she was near. "Katara!" he called urgently. "I need help! There's a fire in the lab!" He moved his way around bubbles, ignoring the abuse and threats that came from them.

Katara wasn't sure what Jamie's reaction was going to be with what she was saying, but the moment she heard FIRE, her ears perked and she turned to Sam. She'd remembered him from the last time, and knew he wouldn't be here to get her unless she was needed.

"Lead the way," she said, completely changing from her concern of Jamie to her need to stop that fire. "How did it happen?"

Jamie growls at Katara, not really wanting to discuss the reasoning behind why he's in the bubble. All he knows is that he's trapped, he wants out, and he wants to hit things. A lot.

When Sam pulls her away, he just glares and goes back to his restless pacing.

Sam turned to lead her toward it. "It's a patient. He can breathe fire. I've sedated him." His tone was business and he moved quickly, but in the back of his mind, he was a bit self-conscious about being around her after his nearly disastrous moment of weakness.
