[On the Wildstrike]
After having spent some time evading questions from the Khensia that didn't pertain to how to control his anger better, Rylan steps out of the holodeck.. still in a foul mood, though at a more manageable level then before. He pauses to groan inwardly at seeing Vyynd step out of an adjacent holodeck, rubbing his shoulder. Acting casual, though having the paranoia level hit an all time high at just *seeing* a Tal`Shiar uniform right now, Rylan asks with a weak smile, "Good training, I take it?"
"Ie..." Vyynd pauses to flex his back, cracking it in a few places, then moves his arms around, "Working out a few kinks from those fvadt
Imperials."
"Ie, kinks..." Ry nods absently, and continues on down the corridor.
Looking to switch subjects he calls out over his shoulder, "Um...up for a drink, Vyynd?"
Vyynd laughs at this, picking up his equipment bag, "Need au ask?" he
jumps to a run after Ry.
Feeling better at that answer, Rylan grins, "Great! Ah...just io
problem..." he pauses slightly, "I can't go to the bar."
Vyynd slows down and falls in step next to the other boy, "Ah,
right...aren't au seeing the bartender though?" He slightly shrugs,
"Normally this would make for some fun privileges?" When the other boy
didn't answer, Vyynd conceded, "Buuuut, so my quarters then, or
non-alcoholic?"
Rylan looks away a moment, not wanting to go into the hows or wherefores, "Ninte quarters... I don't think Katara wants to see me right now."
Vyynd didn't have time to ask for clarification on that statement anyway, as D`Tarik came bounding down the hallway at top speed, apparently so lost in his own thought that he didn't see the other boys, and runs right into tr`Khaine knocking him to the floor. Ry frowns severly at DT's arrival, thinking to himself, *Well...there goes the chance for a drink, then....* and offers the pair of them a hand up.
Not needing a helping hand to regain his feet, Vyynd rolls back and flips up. "Jolan'tru D`Tarik...." he says in a slightly annoyed tone, brushing his pants off a bit.
DT staggers to get up, but manages to do it as well without the aid of
Rylan's hand. "I figured out what's wrong with Emni!" he declares happily.
Surprised at the news, Rylan brings his hands to rest on his hips and asks, "Oh, is she awake now?"
At the same time, Vyynd raises a brow waiting for DT to elaborate, "Ie?"
"Na." DT answers in a strangely casual air, "She's in a coma."
Ry looks slightly confused by this. "Um...au knew that before, DT...."
"Well ie, but I did na know why!"
Ry nods, "And why, then?"
"She has a very tiny blood clot in her brain!" DT supplies happily, not
frowning in the least.
Vyynd, picking up his bag again, inquiries, "Did she have seizures before hand?" As Rylan motions down the corridor, and resumes walking as he listens.
"Na." DT shakes his head slightly, turning to follow the erie`Arrain, "It was caused by the blow to her head."
"Ah..." Vyynd falls silent, walking with the other two.
"Okay..." Rylan interjects, waiting for the medical officer to get to the reason of why he's here, and not in the medbay, "So now au can
do...whatever it is doctor's do...for the clot, and she's better then,
right?"
"Well...." DT says hesitantly, "It's really small....and I'm na sure if we have the equipment to do it." he gives a little shrug, "We might, but it's na in medlab, so I'm on my way to the main to ask the Leih about it."
Figuring that DT wouldn't interfere with his previous plans now, Ry tosses an almost relieved look at Vyynd over D`Tarik's head, before he remembers the previous mention of their orders from command, "Um... well, ie. I guess au could do that, but the Leih's a little busy right now... Maybe au can make whatever it is au need?"
"Ie!" D`Tarik says happily, "I can! And I will!"
Ry grins and slaps DT on the back, "Well, good then! Get to it!" he nods to Vyynd over DT's head and keeps walking down the corridor. Waiting to see how the situation develops, Vyynd looks at Rylan rather blank faced.
"Ie, well..." DT admits, "I'm na too good with mechanics, unless it's
robotics or something...." he pauses slightly, then adds with a grin, "So, au will do it for me Rylan!" he grabs the erie`Arrain by the arm, and drags him off down the hallway, "Au`rh good at that stuff! Come now!"
Confused to this latest turn of events Rylan throws a lost look at Vyynd as he's being dragged away. Vyynd tries to come to his rescue with, "Um, D`Tarik..." he walks after the boys, "We were headed off to relax...?"
DT suddenly stops and yells at the Tal`Shiar officer, "Her life is at stake here, Vyynd!" he resumes dragging Rylan off, "We don't have time for au to sneak Rylan drinks!"
Rylan had been trying to pull his arm away as DT stopped, and was surprised to find that he couldn't free himself, as DT had quite a grip on him. "Well...how long is this going to take.... exactly?" then is suddenly insulted and adds as he's resumed being pulled along, "And who said I was going to drink?!"
"Hmm...well..." DT takes an isd from his pocket and shows it to Rylan.
Glancing at it, Rylan sees it has very detailed and complicated looking blue prints.
Vyynd, angry over being yelled at, and now seemingly dismissed from Rylan as well, stops walking after the pair and opens his arms in surrender, "By all means then..." he walks away from the two.
Hearing this snapped Rylan's attention away from the isd, "Vyynd!!"
"Ie?" Vyynd asks as he turns around.
"Well for Element's sake!" Rylan snatches the isd out of DT's hand and
glances at it once more. "I'll make it DT. Now, au go watch over Emni for any change in her condition." he finally pulls away from the medical officer, "Hold up Vyynd...I'm coming too."
Before he can take more then two steps away, DT jumps in front of him, and obviously angry, warned him, "Look Rylan, she's dying! I need ninte fvadt help! Stop thinking about getting a imirrhlhhse-asi drink, and help me for Element's sake!" At Rylan's chastised look he shook a finger at him, and added, "Don't go get a drink..." he pointed that finger at the isd, "Get started on that, hnah! I'm going to trust au!" he runs off, rambling to himself.
Rylan sighs at that and shakes his head, "Well...guess it's non-alcoholic for me then." he concedes, walking up to Vyynd, "Guess we'll try the bar after all...see if Katara throws me out while we're there."
Vyynd, glaring at D`Tarik's fleeting form, nods. "Ie. Probably better that way."
The pair walk quietly through the corridors for a while, Rylan studying the isd in his hand, when they're suddenly startled by D`Tarik's insistent voice coming over Rylan's com, "Start working on it, Rylan! Go...Hnah!!"
Rylan grins vindictively, and ignores the com. Tapping the isd against his palm, he tells Vyynd, "I can get most of this stuff easily. I'll meet au at the bar, actually. Let me pick up a few of these components from engineering first. Two dhael-a with io stone, au know."
Vyynd grins, and inquirers, "Ie....what's he got au making there?" he
glances at the isd, though not making it obvious that he's doing so.
Ry, shrugs and shows him the isd, "Just some kind of medical device..." he pauses to frown, "I don't know what this small chamber's for inside..." he pointed to the part outlined, "...or this needle here... The mirror here, and circuitry is for a laser. But...that chamber bothers me." Rylan raises a curious brow, "He either wants to fill it with some kind of goo...or drain the clot." he shrugs, and glances back up at Vyynd as he continues cryptically, "With DT, who knows which it really is?" He pauses a moment, again tapping the back of the isd against his palm as he ponders quietly, "And what's really weird....the needle isn't even attached to that chamber at all...."
Glancing over the complicated blueprints, rather confused and trying to make sense of it, Vyynd says of Rylan's previous statement about the chamber, "...Probably both..."
Rylan's confused features look back up to the other boy, "But the needle, Vyynd!" he raises a brow, and shows him the diagram outlined on the isd again, "It's na attached to that chamber!"
"Then neither!" Vyynd looks up at Ry, pretty worried over this new
revelation.
Frowning, Rylan thinks it over quietly a moment, then shrugs, "Well...if it's na attached, maybe it's a battery-pack...or something." he mumbles, still not having a clue what it was for. He shakes his head again, then offered hopefully, "I think he likes her..."
Vyynd's own eyebrow raises up at Ry, "Au think?"
Rylan shrugs, then nods again, "Ie. He seemed rather worried about her just now....so I doubt he wants to hurt her." he pauses for a second, tapping the isd against his palm once more, "Well, I better go get those parts..." he glances back at Vyynd.
Vyynd nods, "Speaking of which, I'll let au off to ninte work....the bar, later?"
Ry grins, "Ie. I'll meet au in the bar later." he turns, then waves over his shoulder as he heads off. After a few paces away he mumbles quietly to himself, scratching his head, "But what is that fvadt chamber for?!"
Vyynd stands there a second longer, then walks off towards his quarters with his equipment bag.
