TRANSMISSION FROM SHUTTLE 1 TO WASH
Captain Zero: Got your wave, and pleased to report we're on our way. ETA is approximately 10.5 hours from your receipt of this wave.
Please let BlueRedGreen know I may be needing his help when we dock; busted a couple of stitches when we left atmo, and seem to be leaking a bit.
Good news is I'm bringing him plenty of supplies. The infirmary will be fully stocked, not to mention the galley and the engine room.
Tillie out

Sure thing cap'n, I'll try really hard not to kill spine, him being such a delicate flower and all! *grins at spine*
OH! *stumbles back a little and braces on the wall*
Blueredgreen: You feeling OK?
*eyes come back into focus* sure, sure doc! But I think...I think something just happened to tillie and tater. Um, but I don't think it's that serious, you might want to..
*Is interrupted by tillie's wave, telling the doctor to be ready*
*Spinebite looks at upperson with suspicion* Spinebite: You goin' all crazy-like?
*Upperson shakes head as if to clear it* No, no I don't think so anyways, but if I were I would hardy admit to it, would I? Better get ready to unload the stuff in the cargobay. We might need a little more room. Besides we need to hurry if you are going to abduct your doctor chappie. If you don't get there soonish, someone might just beat you to it!
CommanderZero: What exactly does that mean?
Upperson: Just that there seem to be some other people out there looking for the doctor on that planet.
Spinebite: Did you see it in your crystal ball? *snorts*
Upperson: Actually not. I stumbled across it on the cortex when I was looking around. Just checking out everything. It seems a fellow called Goosen has sent out a general call to all and sundry that he is looking for this man. And that he is willing to pay good money for him. He isn't the same man you were talking to, is he captain?

Well captain, Upper, I believe that this money is definatly from 2008, Earth That Was. As for the country, I'm sure, with a little research, I could confirm that. But... *glances at Upper* any help you can provide will definitely simplify things. AND, if we need it, I know a fellow on Osiris who would definatly purchase these at a high price. Might even hold Upper for an interrogation about the ways of the culture in which she lived. *he laughs quietly for a few seconds*
But anyway, I'll just take this one piece of currency and do some research into it, maybe send out a general wave about antique currency for sale and help you out there. *He walks off towards his room, puts the money in there, and then prepares the mediocre infirmary for Tillie and Tates' arrival*
Wuo duh ma...

I will be using this thread to teach Upperson how to handle a gun so as not to clutter up the WASH thread.

*on board Shuttle 1*
Tatertot: *wakes up and stretches* Mmm, that was a nice nap. Hey Tillie, how soon are we to landing?
*When she doesn't get an answer, she goes forward to the cockpit. The chair is empty* Oh, maybe she's in the head. *she peers forward at the controls and sees that they're less than an hour from re-entry* Shiny, we're almost there. *calling out* Hey Tillie, c'n I dock this time?
*When Tillie still doesn't respond, Tatertot goes over to the head* Tillie? You okay in there? *she hears a low moan coming from the aft cargo area and rushes back to find Tillie curled up in her hammock. Bloody hand prints dot the webbing, and the coat covering her has dark sodden splotches on it* Tillie! Jie jie! Omigod, Tillie!
*Tillie raises her head groggily* Hey there Tate, we there yet? *sees the horrified expression on Tatertot's face* What's the matter, mei mei?
Tatertot: You're bleeding!
Tillie: Oh yeah, that.
*Tillie leans forward gingerly and takes stock of her wounds* Yeah, things got a mite shaky when we broke orbit, and a bunch of my stitches split open. *points to a medkit on the floor* Go grab that case there. See the silver box? Good. Lemme have that, and unwrap some bandages for me. *she tapes the gashes and covers them with clean bandages*
Hey, don't cry honey, ain't nearly so bad as it looks. Mei mei, listen to me, I need you to keep it together for me, dong ma? We got a shuttle to steer into atmo and I can't have you panicking. Can you handle it, or you want me to pilot?
Tatertot: No jie jie, I can handle it.
Tillie: That's my good girl. *laughs softly to herself*
Okay, I'm gonna send another wave while you get us in orbit, and then we'll strap in for the fun stuff.

*On Board Shuttle 1*
*still feeling alittle shaky, tatertot goes to
the controls. she sits in the chair and switches off auto pilot and clicks on some other switches above her. soon tillie joins her after sending the wave*
So you are ok? I got really worried when you didn't replyed when i called. Then I found you bleeding like that...*shakes head* You are going straight to the infirmary when we get back to the WASH. Not even to stop to say howdy doody to Zero...
Tillie: Whats this? You are giving me orders Tate? I think your encounter with CJ has made you a bit bolder. *tillie gives tatertot a teasing smile, and she blushes*
Yeah...I guess so...*her face becomes serious* What exactly happend down in Greenleaf? I feel like there's something your not telling me...

*On Shuttle1*
*Tillie shifts in her seat* Ain't some big secret or nothin'. Zero waved us come back, and Cal agreed we best be off right quick. Thing is, if we dawdled there would have been trouble. Folks would be interviewing us about that fireball on the market road, and we'd've been stuck on that rock till they were done asking questions. It would've made all kinds of problems for the captain. "I need my pilot to get there": those were Zero's words. Couldn't disappoint her, could we? 'Specially after you went and bought her that shiny new necklace.
Tatertot: But --
Tillie: No more questions now, xíng ma? I'm a mite wore out what with the bleeding and all, and you gotta keep your mind on gettin' us docked. I promise you can ask as many questions as you want, but tomorrow. --Hey there, put your nose down just a bit.
*Tatertot adjusts her angle and concentrates on the re-entry. The next time she looks over, Tillie is asleep in the chair*

TRANSMISSION FROM SHUTTLE 1 TO THE WASH
Dear whoever is at the comm right now,
I need your help. Shuttle's starting orbital descent, and we should be docking in thirty.
By the time we're locked in, I might be passed out, so please give this info to BRG now so he can be ready:
Already mentioned I'm injured; got a mess of little cuts and a couple deep ones, and didn't take the time on Greenleaf to get them all sewed up tight. When we left atmo I got jarred about and started bleeding. Fixed it a little, but it's not good. I'm a mite woozy.
All the med equipment boxes are marked with the medalert star. There's plasma and typed blood in two of the starred coolers. To save you time looking up my medbio: I'm O Pos, allergic to penicillin and most mycins, and already had tetanus shots on Greenleaf.
Doc Alex, just need you to stop the leaks and fill my tank, so I can hurry up and be the doc for the Wash and get her healthy and back in the black. Thank you in advance. You done good work on me already, and I know I'm in good hands. Duō xiè. I got shiny presents for you.
Tillie out

No, it's not. Well just as soon as Tillie and Tot get back, we're gonna head out. In the mean time, you and Spine head out to train. On Beaumonde, there could be a chance I might need a gun in your hand so get to it and get good. Alright? Captain's orders.
*Upper smiles and nods, but before Spine and Upper leave, the doc comes up*

Thanks Doc. Maybe later on we can drop by Osiris to see how much money we can make off of your friend. Possibly sell these artifacts to him... if Upper's alright with it. *Nods toward Spine and Spine and Upper leave to start training and Zero head up to the bridge and to the comm just as Tillie sends a wave*

*Checks the time the wave was sent and then checks the time on her watch. It's almost time for her to dock. Zero gets everything ready then heads down to the infirmary to talk to BRG*
Doc, I know I set you on figuring out about those ancient coins and such, but I need you to get ready to stitch up Tillie. Seems she's been hurt. She said... *pulls out a piece of paper and reads it* Med equipment boxes are marked with the medalert stars and they contain plasma and typed blood. She said she's O-positive, allergic to penicillin and most mycins, but already had a tetanus shot on Greenleaf. *shoves paper back in her pocket*
Now, doc, I know it may be a lot to ask but I need you to work on her quickly. We got to get to Beaumonde ASAP, otherwise we're out of a job. But I need her to twix and twither whatever she needs to before we take off. I'll be up on the bridge awaiting her arrival. I've already set up everything for her to dock. She should be onl

*On the bridge, Zero sees the shuttle's proximity signal*
Zero: Starboard hatch is green for docking.
Tatertot: Locking in five, four, three.
*the shuttle lands, the locks engage, and the shuttle is pulled into the Wash*
Zero: *on the comm* Doc, they've arrived.
BRG: On my way. *he runs up to the shuttle as the door opens. Tatertot runs right into him*
Tatertot: She ain't wakin' up, Doc!
BRG: *runs to the cockpit and checks on Tillie, who's passed out in her chair* We can't walk her out of here, we'll need the stretcher. Tot, I'll need your assistance.
Tatertot: Anything.
BRG: *assesses her size; she won't be able to help carry Tillie* You stay here, keep an eye on her while I get help. *runs down the stairs, leans over the railing, and calls down to the cargo bay* Spinebite, I need you and Upperson to put the training on hold for a minute. *continues running down the stairs* I need you to help me carry the stretcher, know where it is? And there's boxes of plasma need to be brought from the shuttle.
*Spinebite looks up to see Zero coming down the stairs from the bridge. She nods to him: do what he says*
Spinebite: No problem, Doc. *He jumps through the hatch down to the infirmary, grabs the metal stretcher from the wall, and proceeds back up the stairs* Here we go. * he and BRG enter the shuttle, with Upperson close behind*
BRG: *points to Tatertot and Upperson* You two, there's boxes in the cargo bay marked with medalert stars -- a red six-pointed cross with a snake on a stick in the middle. I need you to bring them to the infirmary. Zero said there were coolers: start with those. *to Spinebite* Okay, you get her legs. One, two, three! *they lift Tillie out of the chair and set her on the stretcher. BRG gets her strapped in* Ready to lift? Okay, and heave! *they bring Tillie down to the infirmary and get her on the table. Zero pokes her head in*
Zero: Need any help?
BRG: Appreciate it, Captain. Would you help with the medboxes? Need that plasma now.
Zero: Sure thing. *she steps out of the infirmary, as Upperson and Tatertot carry in the first cooler*
*as BRG sets up an IV and begins a plasma drip, the others continue carting boxes down from the shuttle, one after the other. When he barks his shin on a crate he notices how full his infirmary is getting.
BRG: Exactly how many boxes are there?
Zero: I think this is the last of it.
BRG: May I see that wave?
Zero: *pulls the paper out of her pocket and gives it to him* Here you go.
BRG: *reads* "Thank you in advance...know I'm in good hands...got shiny presents for you." Wow, qí miào. Okay, everybody out. Got some sewing to do. *he closes the door, and starts cutting Tillie's blood-soaked clothes off*
qí miào = fantastic / wonderful
