Don't move! [there's a sound of other stuff falling, thankfully nowhere near them] Make some noise if you can. [sounds of a laser cutter being fired up]
[something falls away as they cut through it, getting closer]
[finally, they've made a hole big enough for someone small to crawl through and Jackie's the smallest on their team with medical experience to boot so she's coming in] You sure can whistle loud. [grins as she picks her way carefully over to him, med kit in hand]
Years'a practice [gives her a weak grin. Blood is trickling from a gash on his temple, and pooling around his thigh where the fallen strut pins him in place; he gestures vaguely downwards] Have fun wi' that.
[trying not to look worried and makes light of it] For me? You shouldn't have.
[ducks slightly as everything shifts again] [digs into her med kit, taking a square bandage out and putting it on his temple, putting one of his hands over it] Hold that. [tries to get low enough to see the damage to his leg] Does it hurt or is your leg numb?
Think nothin' of it, love [relaxes a little more as she sets to work, hand pressed against the bandage on his temple] Nope. Which's a pity really - bit'a numbness might be nice about now. Pretty sure m'concussed, though [attempts at an airy tone belied by the strain in his voice, pale and woozy from blood loss]
[gives him a look] You'd rather we covered you back up then?
[there's a bit more light filtering through, the security team is getting there]
What I meant was, it's good you didn't bleed out completely. [sighs as she works on snaking a long bandage around his leg and the piece of plastic] Which means we have to leave this in till our CMO can pull it out safely.
Yeah, I'd hate to be doing this from the outside of the ship... [tightens the bandage to finish it off]
[they're lifting off the final beams, exposing his hiding place] Easy! We got to get that off his leg without removing that one piece. [she points underneath so the chief of security can see what she means]
