[The Bar....]
Rylan pops open a maintenance tunnel panel and steps out and into the bar. Looking around at the various tables and chairs that have been strewn about, he calls out a worried, "Katara....?" but no one answered him. Worried for the girl, he steps over the debris, walking passed a few officers who were just coming back to consciousness, and heads for the counter of the bar.
Walking around to the side of it, stepping on broken glass and trying not to slip on all the spilled booze, Rylan finds DT - who had been hit in the head by a few flying bottles - lying unconsious on the poor barmaid in a rather odd position. Frowning severly at this, Rylan yanks the smaller boy up by the back of the collar. DT's brought back around to consciousness by being pulled through the air, and let's out a startled, "Ahhh!"
"That had better *na* have been what it looked like!" Rylan's angry face warned the Medical man low, before DT's collar was released and the smaller boy sank back to the floor.
"Looked...wah??" DT croaked.
While D`Tarik's fuzzy brain tried to figure out what the taller boy had ment, Rylan kneels down beside the unconsious barmaid and, with a scanner from the emergency medkit he brought with him, checks her over for any injuries. Nodding absently to the slightly groggy Medical man, he tells him, "We've crashed...look for the injured, there's bound to be some around here..." Not finding any serious damage on the girl, Ry waves an ammonia capsule under her nose.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the counter, Farien tr`Tahn stirs a bit, then opens an eye to see a barstool laying at an odd angle near his head. "What in holy barrel of Eibhul happened...?!"
"Who the Areinnye was that?" Ry's surprised face turns up to DT's confused looking one.
"Ah, na!!" the Farien exclaims more out of annoyance then actual alarm, "I'm seeing two of things again!!"
Katara's hand comes up to bat the capsule away, and she sits up as her eyes begin to focus. "What happened..?"
Immediately forgetting the voice of the Farien, Ry smiles down at her, "We've crashed. Au okay?"
"Ie...I think....." but before the girl can completely answer, she's interrupted by DT's panicked voice.
"AH!!" DT jumps to his feet, "Have au seen Emni?! Is she okay?!"
Looking up at DT's insanely worried expression, Ry shakes his head, as he helps Katara to her feet again, "Uh...na. I assumed she was in medlab still..."
"Na!! She was in my room!"
Reaching out to steady Katara as she shakily stood up, Rylan tries to calm the panicked boy down with, "It's alright...we'll help au find her. Just see to him first," he nods over to the Farien who was trying to pull himself to his feet, "and I'll clear a path to a door."
DT sighs worriedly, "I guess we can't get to her just yet anyway...." he turns towards the Farien, "Au`rh seeing double?"
"Ie..." tr`Tahn squints, and says almost sarcastically, "Once again, I'm seeing double." he pauses for a moment, "And why am I always being injured in the head?" he looks down at the barstool, then kicks it away from himself.
"Here...." DT takes out a hypo and injects the Farien before tr`Tahn had known it was coming, "There. Ninte double vision should go away. " DT gives him a glance, "Au don't seem to have any serious external injuries." he turns away from him and goes to look at the few other patrons that had woken and were now holding their heads rather painfully.
tr`Tahn mumbles to himself angrily as the doctor walked away, "Na external injuries, hmph! I was hit in the head with a barstool, for crying out loud!"
Katara leans up against the counter, to help steady herself a moment, nodding to Rylan, "Au better go see about getting us out of here. Without power, the doors will be stuck tight." she pauses to pull out a medkit from under the counter, "I'll see to the others in here." She suddenly looks up at D`Tarik a little worriedly, and adds, "Unless they're really bad off...then what do I do?"
Rylan only shrugs at that, and hops over the counter as he answers, "In that case, do what au can for them, then line them up. We'll come back later." As he heads over to the entertainment center that had managed to wedge itself in front of the bar's doors, he points at the grumbling Farien, "AU!" his finger lowers to the floor near his feet, "Come here..."
Wrapping a piece of cloth around his head, as it had started to bleed from a small cut, tr`Tahn steps forward. "What can I do to help?"
Positioning himself near an end of the entertainment console, Rylan nods, "Help me move this sucker..."
"Okay...." tr`Tahn eyes the very solid and heavy-looking console a moment, then positions himself to push against it at Rylan's side, "Sure..."
Seeing that Rylan was now occupied, D`Tarik pulls up his pant-leg. As the little chamber opens with a slight 'hiss', he nods to Katara, and whispers in a conspirator's tone, "If they're really bad, give them a little of this..." from the chamber in his leg, he takes out a small hypo filled with
glowing blue liquid. "Just give whoever needs it a little. And give it back to me when au are done. Don't let anybody touch it but au, na matter what, okay?" As the chamber in his leg closed once more, DT had almost let go of the hypo when it touched the barmaid's palm, but suddenly pulls it
away from her, "Don't let Rylan have any either. Na matter what." he pauses a moment more, then finally gives the hypo to the girl.
Nodding at his directions, Katara looks first at the hypo, then looks over to Rylan before asking, "Why can't Rylan have this?"
Speaking slowly, making sure she'll get the meaning, DT warns her, "Because it's highly *addictive....and Rylan seems to be highly *sensitive* to it." his brow raises slightly, "Understand?"
Katara nods at that, and quickly puts it away in her medkit where Ry wouldn't see it, "Ie...I understand."
"Okay." DT nods, "I'm trusting au here. Be careful with it, it's powerful stuff." he turns away and goes to check on another officer with a headache.
When Rylan and tr`Tahn got themselves positioned, Rylan counts down, "1...2...3... *push*!!" The pair lean their shoulders against the console, and push it back; but the entertainment console is too big and too heavy to want to go more then a couple of inches.
tr`Tahn's face turns a evil shade of green as he pushes against the console a moment more, "Arrrrgggghhh!!!" Suddenly feeling dizzy, tr`Tahn sways a moment, then passes out altogether and hits the floor.
Realizing that their not getting anywhere, Rylan suddenly stops pushing against the console, and kicks it angrily, "Hanev! Forget this thing for now. We'll have to use the tun...." he stops to hear the thud beside him, and looks down to see the unconscious Farien. "Aw, Areinnye!" He drags
tr`Tahn over to the side of the room where he'd be out of everyone's way, then looks over to the barmaid, "Katara! Just let this io sleep it off for awhile..."
The three of them busy themselves with getting the rest of the bar's patrons back on their feet, when Rylan discovers an unbroken bottle of Rhennish. Checking to see that both Katara and DT were otherwise occupied, Ry opens it quickly, then turns to put his back towards their watchful eyes, and quickly chugs the Rhennish down. Dropping the bottle to the floor in a non-chalant
way, he kicks it to slide it away from himself. Holding out a hand, he nods to see it's finally stopped shaking from the earlier Oira ordeal. "There.... much better." he grins to himself.
