Karina kept herself bent over the body as another creature leapt over her. She watched a drop of blood hit the ground beside her and a small poof of smoke. Whatever was in the blood wasn’t liking whatever it hit. Just then a drop landed on her arm. With odd fascination, she watched it press the material of her tunic down against her skin from the height and gravity of its decent. Had it been ice water, she would have felt cold… had it been normal blood, she would have felt a second of heat before outdoor temps took over…

But a hiss fell from between her lips as she felt a heat unlike anything she expected, much less ‘should have’ felt. “HEY!” She half growled under her breath as she grabbed the material in a quick handful and rocked back on her heels trying to ball the fabric up to stop the blood from touching her flesh. “Well, that’s a nice defense mechanism,” she thought as she clawed at the material till it stopped trying to force its way thru her skin.

Huddling with some of the patients and trying to keep herself and them sheltered, Janna could see the chaos off in the near distance that was the battle for all their lives. “Doctor Grey!!” she shouted as loud as she could and pointed to the area where the security and tactical team had seeming had a break in fortune. But it looked like people were very badly hurt.

Moving to reach someone else, Kingston felt something brush her hand and an intense burning sensation started to work its way through her skin and tissues. “Arrrghh!” she half-screamed. If the toxic blood did what it did to being with normal blood, what would it do to hers? “I need some alcohol over here!” she called out, protecting the the patient she had moved to help.

Benjamin had been running around with the two modded hyposprays, now spraying an alcohol mixture at the patients. He looked at Kingston as she called for him and viewed where the blood leaked over his patients. It was good luck that he’d focused on cardio very much lately that he had the stamina to continue so much running. He went quickly by his patients, spraying the source of their infections. “Kingston, catch” He tossed one of his hyposprays over to the nearby Counsellor with care. “Hold it a few centimetres from the infection” He called to her.

There was a dull thud and a rush of air quickly replaced with a blast of returning warm air from the pod’s explosion. They were closer to it than the security team who had been holding the line further out. Meryidiyth screamed out a warning, “Incoming, take shelter”, she grabbed a nearby cot bed and held it over herself and nearby patients as the kickback from the explosion rained black blood and tentacles in concentric circles around them…

Janna had had no time to douse her wound before the warning came. Cursing inwardly, she dragged her patient and herself over towards a rock, knowing it was useless. All she could do was protect the poor man and pray to Gods she didn’t believe in that she might survive what was likely about to happen to her.

“DOOOWWNN!” Ben yelled at the top of his lungs ashe jumped over a pair of patients, grabbing a long towel and covering most of them with it. He might not be able to save all of his patients but the closest would do. As he fell down he realised he was no longer holding his hypospray. Now was the first time he’d been really still since they evacuated. His overwhelming fear was catching up with him. He was going to need to keep moving otherwise he’d be less than useless.

When the Doc yelled ‘down’, all Karina could do was lay down along the length of the man she was with, cover as much of his body with her own as she could, and bury her face in his chest. As everyone took cover, the pairs and trios of bodies covering and protecting one another like lovers caught in mid embrace, she bit her lip and prayed that whatever was happening would be over soon. She wasn’t sure how much more she could take.

As she squeezed her eyes shut, tears managed to still stain her cheek and drop to discolor the front of the tunic of the unconscious man beneath her. She bit her lip harder and tried not to cry out.

As soon as it began, it was over, but the aftermath remained. There were people burning in black blood everywhere. Meryidiyth was still standing holding the cot like an umbrella, tears streaming down her face at the pain in her arms that had been exposed to the blood rain. Thankfully much of it had been incinerated by the blast but by the groans of pain coming from all around there was going to be a lot of work that needed to be done, and quickly.

When chaos ends, there is a moment of silence. A deafening absence of sound when held breaths haven’t been released, and sobs are still being held in lest anyone else think the person weak. It was that split second that made Karina raise her head and look around.

The body below her groaned slightly but thankfully the man was unconscious. Probably a blessed thing. She rocked back onto her heels, wobbled a moment, then decided sitting on her backside was much steadier. A wince hissed from between her lips as the world came to life around her again. Names were hollered as people were reunited, others were crying out in pain, and a few were speaking in soft tones to soothe the others.

Karina took a moment to look down at her arms. Abrasions from the blast and the caustic blood were burned across her arm in bands as if she had been dragged across the hard packed dirt. She touched one of the worst spots and winced. “At least it’s not burning thru…” she murmured to herself. A thought hit her like a boulder and she glanced around. Moving up to her knees she cried in panic and fear.... where was he? “BEN!!!” She didn’t realize in her panic that she was calling the doctor by his first name.
