The comm-system beeps.
MAJOR LEE, PLEASE REPORT TO THE INFIRMARY.
CORPORAL VICKERS, PLEASE REPORT TO THE INFIRMARY.
SERGEANT RENNICK, PLEASE REPORT TO THE INFIRMARY.
THAT IS ALL. Joshua sits in the waiting room, kicking the empty chair in front of him while he waits for someone to tell him what's going on, Katy's gun still hidden in the back of his jeans.

Katy was still asleep but she was talking. "No....don't let it eat me....please....." She said shaking a slight bit.

Kareen and Paul arrived at the infirmary almost in a dead heat. Kona trailing behind. Kareen reported to the nurse and asked "what room. " heading there immediately.
Kona took a seat in the waiting room.
Paul looked at Joshua, "what happened " he asked, "how is katy."

The nurse tending to Katy's wound steps back as Kareen enters. "I've cleaned the wound and given her a localized pain-killer." She explains. "She's lost a bit of blood."
-
"There was a Thing!" Joshua says, "It was like a lizard-dog-ape thing and it had claws and lots of fangs! It ate part of this guy, that's why those red stains wouldn't come clean, they were blood, and then it attacked us, and Katy got scratched. The patrol shot it..."
"Gods above," Kona says, moving to a closer chair, "Where did you see the creature?"
"Out by the ruins... who are you?" Joshua asks.
"I am Kona, holy servant of Heimdal." Kona explains.

Katy woke up suddenly. She was breathing heavy and dripping in sweat. The pain was gone but the memories were still there.

Kareen took Katy's arm and waved a small device over it picking up a trace of blood. She smiled in a reassuring manner. You are OK, now. You are in a hospital. The device beeped. Good there is not a major infection in your blood. I will be able to get you out of here in just a short time.
Oh Shit, said Paul Take a deep breath Jason, and try again slower, Who did the creature eat? How bad was Katy hurt. He looked toward the examining rooms. Kona, please let us take care of this.

"I dunno who it was, the name was all smeared and he didn't have a ... face anymore." Joshua says and swallows, sick just thinking about it. "It scratched up her arm and she was bleeding, she passed out. We got her back here as fast as we could..."
Kona sighs. "I cannot sit idly by while strange beasts maim young women and eat brave warriors."

"Ok." Katy said softly. "I think I need to sleep." She said passing out again

"Rest then" said Kareen. She picked up some nuskin and began to apply it to the damage. It would seal the wound and added a spray of antibiotic to clear any remaining infection.
Paul put an arm around Joshua. I know it was rough out there. He patted the gun in Joshua's back to let Joshua know he knew it was there. I have to get the details and check on Katy. can you wait here and keep an eye on Kona till I get back. Perhaps you can describe the monster to him.

Katy woke up a bit later. Her arm was numb. She looked around slightly confused at first. "Where is Paul?" She said she wanted him to be near her. She needed him at that moment

"He is in the waiting room," said Kareen. "I will let him in when I finish. You arm should look fairly normal, the nuskin with take your natural skin tone in a few hours, but the arm will still be weak Here are some pills if you suffer any discomfort and you are relieved from duty until we approve your return to work."
Paul found the patrol leader and listened to his report. "So Michaels bought it? Hard way to go. How about Rogers, will they replace his leg here, or send him to the regional hospital for a cybernetic leg? What are your ideas concerning the creature you encountered?

"Major Lee says they'll be sending him to Stavro-Alpha," The Patrol leader says, "As for the things, there were about five that attacked us. They fought like wild animals. They're strong and fast, but they're no tougher than your average gorilla when it comes to bullets. They came at us from all directions, so they were probably stalking us a while. They're stealthy when they want to be."

Katy took the pills with her good arm. "Thanks." She sighed when Kareen said she couldn't work. She wanted to find out what those things were. not sit around doing nothing. "Alright." Was all she said. She had to think of something.

Paul ran his fingers through his hair. The only good thing about this whole thing was Michaels was single, so he didn't have to tell his wife in person. Some one on his home planet would get the ordeal of notifying the parents.
Paul stopped at the desk and found Roberts was still in surgery, so he could delay his visit to him until he came out of the anesthetic. Asking the nurse to beep him when Robers could have visitors,
Paul glanced around the waiting room, Jason and Kona sat wth their heads together a deep conversation of some sort. Hopefully they would not do anything before Paul could get back to them. That boy, Jason had to give back the weapon, was it Katy's or from one of the men on patrol? No one had found Michaels weapon. It was illegal for Jason to carry, and Kona had not proved his responsibility.
Then Paul had to meet with the patrol leader and his men to set up a hunt for the monsters and as soon as Kareen would allow he had to see Katy, probably take her home to her room.
At times like this he wished he had several clones. He needed to be everywhere at once.
"Paul," xalled Kareen tiredly opening the curtain to the examining room, "The patient is asking for you. She should be fine, but at this point is still rather weak, take it easy on her, will you?"
Taking a moment to pull himself together Paul entered the examining room. "Hello Darlin, how are you doing?" He approached the woman holding out his arms.

Katy looked at him smiling. She pulled him closer to her so she didn't have to get up from her sitting postion. Leaning her head on his chest she just smiled. She then answerd his quesiton. "Well I have been better. I feel like a gimp but anyway.I am better now that you are here. Sorry if I scared you." She said looking at him and into his eyes.
