Who needs realistic goals when you have tenacity? [OPEN]

It had literally been a day after being released from GLaDOS (oh, she was going to give that bit of AI a piece of her mind, no doubt ... ) when it started. The message from Shodan, the ship shutdowns, the robots ... one AI for another, great. Just her luck, right? But there was a problem with this situation: the medbay was under her control. Martha could sit back and allow other places to be taken (albeit with much anger and gnashing of teeth) but the medbay was not one.

So she set out with one stupid goal in mind: get into the Medbay. Yeah, thinking it out only went so far, and as smart as Martha knew she was she was also tenacious as hell. At least she could grab some supplies, maybe smaller equipment, something to help the people in need. She walked around the entire Earth in a death-zone, how hard could a trip to the Medbay be?

Currently hiding behind a convenient outcropping of the ship, listening for the disappearing metal footfalls of some robotic creature, and trying to keep her heart rate and breathing down, it would likely be much harder than she thought. Maybe she could use some help.

Martha had been so focused on the metal shapes around her that she nearly gave a yelp at the blinking of her comm ring. She managed to stifle the cry, but her heart continued to beat a mile a minute.

She read it carefully, checking on whoever was giving the message, then looked around. She saw another shape not far off, had to be the one, and typed back.

Plenty.

Zouichi darted out from around a corner, taking out two battle droids while they had their backs turned. The firing of his gravity gun was nearly soundless; he doubted it would catch the attention of any of their companions. And for the moment, it seemed as though it had not.

Plenty minus two. Are you pinned down?
