Posted by Gamemaster Nosferatu (Gamemaster) in Main Sim: Sickbay After the Blast
The deck shuddered again as Sickbay doors parted under emergency override.

They did not arrive all at once.

First came a science technician, half-carried between two security officers. Blood ran freely from a gash along his temple, matting his hair and streaking down the side of his neck.

“Hit the edge of a console when we took the roll,” he muttered thickly. “Black—blacked out for a second.”

Behind him, an operations ensign stumbled in under her own power, one arm clutched tight against her chest.

“Shoulder’s out,” she breathed through clenched teeth. “Deck pitched and I went down hard.”

A sharp, burned-metal scent preceded the next pair. An engineering crewman’s sleeve had been torn open, the fabric fused and blackened where a console discharge had arced outward. Angry red scoring marked his forearm.

“Power surge,” he said shortly. “Caught the feedback.”

Another followed more slowly, escorted on a stretcher. His body was rigid, fingers twitching intermittently as if still gripping an invisible tool.

“Panel kicked back,” someone explained. “Took the shock through both hands.”

From farther down the corridor came raised voices and hurried boots—more footsteps, more stretchers.

A helm officer limped in with blood soaking through her trouser leg where a bulkhead edge had split the skin above her knee. A junior science crewman held a cloth against his nose, already swelling and crooked. Two security officers supported one another, bruised and winded, having been thrown against opposite sides of a corridor.

The impact had been only half strength.

The Expanse had done the rest.

Sickbay filled with the sounds of labored breathing, pained hisses, and the low murmur of reassurance as the injured were guided toward open biobeds. Outside the sealed doors, the deck still carried a faint, uneasy vibration—reminder that the Merrimack remained in the climb.

And the fight was not over.

’’ Triage ‘’ shouted Cross , Kate and Dr Kim were quick to assess and evaluate each patient as they came through .Those with minor or non life threatening were put on one side of sickbay while the seriously injured started to be treated by the CMO and doctor Hunter.

Cross started on the engineering crewman’s whose sleeve had been torn open, the fabric fused and blackened. .taking his vital signs , giving him a potent painkiller , as she started to remove the cloth fused to his injury . Turning to the nearest nurse ‘’ Bring me ice ‘’ , the reason for it was so the burn would not go much deeper into the tissue.
