Snip

As Lillian shot at Richards, Max let him go, trying to stay out of the shot. That was a short warning. They were definitely going to have to keep an eye on more of the crew.

“Keep your rifle on him Cadet, don’t hesitate to shoot again,” he said as he pulled himself out from under Richards.

Cmdr. Harkness - XO

The shot from Anderson had struck true, the stun sending waves of energy through him and making his head swim, his vision darken and his legs go weak. He had crumpled, and that had given Harkness the time to roll out from under him. In the scuffle Richards had lost the hypo, but now his eyes opened again as the effects of the stun seemed to wear off far too rapidly as if whatever was infecting him had somehow absorbed the energy.

Richards rolled and came to his feet. There were too many of them, but he had to defend himself. Through the fog that clouded his mind he knew there were at least three of them and the closest, the one that grappled him, was the easiest to reach. Richards launched at the man, trying to bodily knock him to the ground. There was no skill, no finesse in the lunge, just a primal need for contact and force that left Richards open to both Nijix and Anderson.

“Shoot him!” Max said as Richards charged at him, but there wasn’t going to be time. Spinning Max did roundhouse kick, kicking Richards in the stomach. He wasn’t sure how long it would hold off Richards, but hopefully long enough for them to get their shots off.

The impact drove Richards back and doubled him over slightly, bringing him to a pause for just a moment, a pain exploding in his head bringing an angry grunt from the man.

NE Richards, Medical

OOC: Don’t forget to snip guys. If you’re not sure how much, I suggest to just snip up to one of your replies. It’s what I usually do.

IC: Finally, their quarry went down. Nijix exhaled but didn’t holster her weapon. A small sense of pride rolled over Nijix causing her to smile at Anderson for her aim. Before she could say anything, Richards was up again. He launched himself at Harkness with primal rage and animistic behavior.

She was still a ways from the others to help. Save by shooting him.

“Anderson, get the hypo and make sure it’s set to a sedative,” she shouted.

She took aim with her weapon. Nijix hoped it would be better now that she was much closer and the man was distracted with the pain in his head. It wouldn’t take him down for long, but it might allow Anderson to get close and hit him with the sedative.

“Plunge it into him,” Nijix shouted as she fired at Richards figure.

Max slowly backed away from Richards, never taking his eyes off of him as he grabbed his head in pain.

“Once he’s subdued Lieutenant, we need to get him secured in a biohazard containment unit. Do you have a containment unit that can handle him? Or do we need to get medical down here?”

Max took a deep breath as he still watched Richards. He was going to need to get checked again. Hopefully they could figure out what had effected them.

Cmdr. Harkness - XO

Lillian lunged at out to get the hypo and made a quick check of the setting it was a strong sedative well she thought it was not like she had a heap of medical training.
“James Cover me!!” Lillian ordered him even tho she was the lower ranking officer of the two.
Lillian made for Richards who was attacking XO Harkness .
Lillian decided to go for Richard upper arm.
“Try to hold him there Sir so I can get this in him” Lillian hoped the XO was able to help so they could get him sedated and back to sickbay before anyone else got sick.

Lillian Anderson Security Cadet

The hypo gave a soft hiss as the fluid entered Richard’s system, incapacitating him and rendering him a floppy mess.

Nijix had been about to shoot when she watched the officer grip his head in pain. Instead, she prepared to cover Lillian when she rushed forward, hypo in hand. When he went limp, the CoS relaxed.

She turned to Harkness and gave him her honest opinion.

“Medical would be a better option since we have no idea what this is. We have a containment unit, but there’s little way of knowing how or if he could infect anyone else.” Nijix had to point out their lack of knowledge about the source.

“So far, we’ve been lucky. That doesn’t mean everyone is immune to whatever this is.” Her fear was having cases of this cropping all around the ship. It would be too much for her security detail to handle and distrust would rein in full chaos.

“Anyone exposed to him needs medical to check them. If they are not cleared already. I have a feeling those crew members locked themselves up to prevent exposure. We need to take precautions to limit its spread.”
