As Taiya saw the beam in front of her she didn’t fancy her chances of being trampled underfoot so holding on as tight as she could, she flattened out on the creature’s back and braced herself for impact in case she didn’t quite clear the arch.

The feeling of missing the beam by a hair’s breadth was felt but soon she was clear through it. Her ride though was not as lucky, as the head of the beast swung to the left it barreled into one of the beams, the beast swayed and grunted in pain banging its head on the right side then on another beam. Groaning it flopped forward on its front legs seemingly knocked out.

She hoped Kane was ok but she couldn’t see him anymore. “Try and get up high!” She hollered back to him, not even sure if he could hear her.

Commander Keali (XO)

Kane heard but didn’t respond. Instead he kept his body as large as he could and when the creature snorted and reared up, Kane (rather than being intimidated) simply leaned forward slightly and grunted himself; not in a way that (he hoped) the beast would take as a challenge. But simply in way that would hopefully make it think that he was more problem than easy target.

Kane, Tac / Med

The 2nd beast meanwhile seemed to stare at Kane for a long moment then finally seemed to back down, turning it shuffled off to the far right corner where now in the moment he could see patches of straw/grass was drawing the beasts attention as it munched on it. =/\= Test 2b and 2c completed, storing results. Awaiting next testing parameters. =/\= The computer voice spoke aloud both in the large room and up the slide.

Hearing the commotion down below Chris was worried. “What’s going on down there?” He yelled as he crawled to the slide. The floor was very cold. “Do you need me to send reinforcements?” He yelled again once he got to the slide. He doesn’t know how much longer he can stay on the floor because of the cold.

Reid marked the wall by the tunnel down. “Sir. We’re going to run out of tactically trained personnel. If this is indeed a threat, we need Kane or the First Officer to tell us… anything before we enter.”

-Dr Alex Reid, CE

Looking at the XO, Kane yelled “Let go!” and moved to try and get her mounts attention. As he moved, he yelled up “We’ll be done in a second! Just gotta get the XO to stop playing cowboy!”

Kane, Tac / Med

The mount the XO was on was currently knocked out as indicated earlier for now the XO’s ride was done. =/\= Test 2A complete storing results. Beginning test 3A=/\= The computer voice spoke

Taiya lay panting on her back on the deck as she tried to catch her breath from the wild ride and looked across to check the creature was still out for the count. As she gingerly sat up, she only had a couple of seconds to take in her surroundings before the rest of the team came crashing down. She just about managed to roll out of the way before the team hit the floor with a loud thud.

Meanwhile up above the remaining crew felt a tremor in the floor and suddenly the floor gave out under them and they were sent sprawling widliy down an even larger slide to roll out on the large white floored room where the XO and Kane were. Unfortunately Reid got the short straw on luck and ended up spraining his right wrist at an awkward angle dislocating it at the right elbow as well.

=/\= Test 3A has begun, awaiting results of testing group 2-Alpha =/\= It said.

It took William a good three seconds before reacting to the falling. The sudden fall was well… quite sudden. Halfway down the slide he managed a cry of surprise “Sheeeeiiii…” a cry he held all the way down. Once on the Floor he ignored his instincts to stand up as his head started throbbing again from his previous injury.

OOC: As Trin is LOA for a couple of weeks I’m going to assume she isn’t able to deal with the injured at the moment.

IC: As she looked around the crumpled forms of the rest of the teams she slowly got to her feet. “Is everyone alright?” she asked as she surveyed the damage and immediately spotted the unusual angle of Reid’s arm. Her medical training kicking in, she dashed across and knelt down beside him, putting a gentle hand on his good shoulder. “Don’t move Lt, stay as still as you can. It looks like you’ve bought yourself a dislocated elbow…” she said in as reassuring tone as she could muster. Without any equipment or drugs, it would be excruciating for Reid to put the joint back in place however if they didn’t, he could lose the use of his arm but as a neurologist, she knew it wasn’t really her area of expertise.

Keeping her hand on Reid’s shoulder, she used her other hand to beckon Blaze over. “Dr Blaze, I need the sleeve of your uniform, then help the Captain over here if he’s able to…” she asked hopefully, not able to see the Captain’s state from where she was.

Commander Keali (XO)

Chris hurt bad bit was able to manage through the pain. His arm hurt and it felt sprained but wasn’t. He shook his head to clear his thoughts as he heard the voices of their hosts talk about more tests.

Through the pain, Reid managed a smile, barely visible through his mop of brown hair. “I grew up as a child prodigy in Las Vegas public schools. It could be worse than a dislocated shoulder.” He winced. “You’re a neurologist by specialty, but all medical doctors have emergency training. I trust you.” He nodded that he was ready.

-Dr Alex Reid, CE

Keali smiles warmly and nodded. “I appreciate your confidence in me Dr, however, Captain Taggart was a surgeon before taking the command chair, I’d like to get his opinion as well. We’ll get you fixed up as soon as we can. Just rest for a moment and try not to think about it,” she reassured with a gentle squeeze on his shoulder. She could sense his pain but pushed it to the side.

Commander Keali (XO)

Will sat up and looked at the engineer, suddenly grateful for his lack of pain “Try growing up a Scottish Child Genius in Texas” He smiled at Reid, as warmly as he could “You know I’m spending a lot less time on a starship than I thought I would” He mused “Perhaps next mission we can be kidnapped by someone less test crazy”

CSO

Chris was dragged over to where Commander Keali and Dr. Reid were. He looked at the shoulder and felt it with his only arm. “Does this hurt when I do this Dr. Reid?”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

“Very much so. But that might be the dislocated shoulder talking.”

-Dr Alex Reid, CE

Blaze was doing his job by keeping the crew together when the moved they move as one. Blaze was good with faces every now and then he will see a face disappear from the group.

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

“Ok. Reid. We have two options. Either leave you here because you’re no use to anyone or we cut your arm off using the teeth of one of those beasts over there? Which is it?”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

“Or… and this is just a thought… set my shoulder. The XO can do it by hand. Or I can close my eyes and do it myself. I did it in high school.”

-Dr Alex Reid, CE

“Or nothing. Those were the only two options. Which is it? Left behind or get it cut off?” He was very serious and his tone and facial expression matched it.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

At the CO’s comment the computer voice spoke =/\= Observing test subject 1 Alpha adjusting psychological profile for current unexpected parameters =/\= It said.
