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.

Anger flooded her, and he could see it in her eyes alone. The rest of her was struggling to maintain herself, to attend to Clef.
"There was nothing you could do," she said, more stiffly than she intended. "But I want to make sure this is the last time we're used like this. The least those...Daligig could do is pay their respects to some of the fallen on the ship. But I guess we don't factor in as people, do we?"

Howard had had it, too, after all. The fact that he was dead now made it even worse, to Clef. He had barely known the boy, and now his last and most vivid memory of him was of Howard telling him how completely stupid he was for wanting to keep Bridge alive, and then the sickening falls of the axe blade and the blood splattered on the wall--
He just stared off into space, crying a little.

She did take a hold of Clef's shoulder.
"Howard, wherever he is, would want that we kept the goal in mind. That's just how he is."

She put her hand to her head. "Anyway, do you need to be patched up anywhere else? I don't want to take up anymore of your time."

"Go take care of yourself," he added, with a nod of his head to imply that it was both a concerned suggestion and an agreement that they were done here.

"Thank you," she said. "For doing your best." There was little more she could say though.
So she turned, still processing her feelings.
