Survivalist End [Open]
|| Medical personnel, please report to the Observation Deck. ||
The shuttle from 'Eden' returns to Stacy, carrying the rescue crew and the original crew members that went down to answer the first distress signal. The returning people are bloodied, battered, some grievously injured. Maxine, Diana and Clef are dehydrated and haven't eaten in days. Karis is missing her entire lower half.
But at least she's better off than the corpse and the wand hastily wrapped in sheets and clothing and lying in the back of the return shuttle. Howard Bassem and Cedric Diggory, one laid cold and still by death and the other not even in enough pieces to be scraped up and taken back, never made it home alive. The official causes of death will be respiratory failure and spontaneous combustion, respectively, as if to to provide a clinical, accurate excuse in lieu of questioning a ship that sends children on dangerous missions.
Stacy quickly determines that she is the most qualified to deal with Karis' case and whisks her away to a secluded section of the Medical Bay. The rest of the survivors and the tragedy are left for the crew to deal with.

"...yeah. We were friends."
She almost chokes on the word.

He glanced at the scar on his wrist, his memories of Howard inseparable from the last battle he'd fought for the human. Compared to Karis' losses, his temporary separation from his hand hardly seemed worth mentioning.
"I did not know him well -" he paused, trying to think of something good he could say for the deceased - "but he was resourceful. His cleverness was surely a resource to his friends."
He'd made a resource of Goliath's castle without asking, but that too seemed hardly worth the mention.

"...all he wanted was a safe place to live. That's it."
Karis grinds the words out, trying not to think too hard about it.
no subject
Howard should have had a safe place to live. But no one could have guaranteed that.
"He should never have been made to serve on this crew."
That, however, someone did have control over. Someone Goliath had already tried to challenge, without any luck.
He put his hand on Karis' shoulder, thinking to comfort her.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Don't touch me!"
no subject
"I apologize. I only thought to comfort you."
