Collab between Daglobster and Drake
Shor'Gen was still tidying up the medbay, cleaning the surgery table and sanitizing his tools. The two taken to him, especially the Nymph, were in dire condition, but they were in the recovery ward now, hopefully safe and sound. The battle was long over, and he'd no doubt be seeing a veritable flood of others with minor wounds flood into the medbay to get fixed up.
He definitely had his work cut outfor him.
The doors parted with a hiss, and he looked to see M'rayl and a Shiira stranger with her. He must've been a civilian caught up in this whole thing, like Alexis.
"Hello, I'm Lead Physician Shor'Gen. Security Officer M'rayl, it is not yet time for your physical, so I can only assume you've brought this non-crew here for treatment? It doesn't matter, I'll see him now. Come," He beckoned, and crawled back towards the surgery room.
Once M'rayl brought him to the medbay, where she remained standing outside for some reason Volray looked inside, noticing the large creature that was likely the ship's medic, he recognized them from one of the first planets he had visited when the Pillar first set out, it gave rise to some good memories, though that quickly followed by more pained once from earlier today
As M'Rayl started to talk to him he just looked up at her but did not said anything as he tried to suppress the memories, yet the moment she spoke about him being able to join the crew his face turned harsh as it reminded him once more.
He greeted her absent minded as he walked inside the medbay straight to the large bug like creature. "can you clean and patch me up" he said simply, not bothered by the medics appearance as he dropped his coat and pulled his shirt off revealing his torso and with it the small puncture wounds that covered his chest. "I am not a member of this... ship.." he said absent minded thinking it might be useful for the medic to know. "Shiira race, crystallized skin, dont know if that man made skin works on us due to that but just cleaning and bandaging should be enough, this is not the first time I experienced this" He continued pretty much sub-consciously as he was still thinking or trying not to, about his own crew.
"Crystalline skin. I am familiar with Shiira anatomy. Please, have a seat on the exam table."
Once Volray was seated, Shor'Gen would start looking over his wounds, although he didn't do much more than that for a few minutes. Once he was done making sure the wounds were little more than cuts of varying depth, he popped open a wall compartment, and took out some sanitized blood towels. In his many abdominal pincers, he took up gauze, wound sanitizer, and a heat plates, of all things.
"Crystalline structures behave like minerals. Heated plates inserted into gauze and wrapped over the wound will accelerate the healing process. Do you have any conditions or allergies I should know about?"
Volray simple shook his head absent minded, he did not even listen to the medic.
Shor looked at him, and nodded his head slowly.
He began the process of soaking up whatever blood was in the wounds, gently working over each one with the towel. After that, he gave each wound a healthy, yet even slathering of sanitizer. Although he seemed to be doing his job, it also looked like Shor was examining him in the process.
Volray did not react at all, well actually it did not hurt enough to react to it, something he was kind of bumbed out about as he hoped the pain could clear his mind
After the wounds were sanitized, Shor began wrapping them each with gauze. He wrapped each wound in two layers, before he slipped a heat plate into the weave, topping it off with three more layers of thin gauze. After each wound was wrapped like this, he remotely activated the heat plates, and they'd start applying heat to the wounds. It was pretty hot, like a warm shower, but it'd greatly speed up the healing process to just a few days.
Once the Heat started to kick in Volray started to feel more relaxed, the tmeprature made him think of Telqan, he often went to places where with the sun light reflacting of the crystal ground created a warmth much the same as this.
It was enough for now that thinking of home blocked the feelings of the dead crew, which was ironic seeing the crew and he were all from the same planet.
well he was not aware of these thoughts off course...
He closed his eyes and his mind drifted to his home world.
Shor'Gen backed away from Volray, to look over his work. Once he was satisfied, he spoke up.
"Keep those bandages on at all times. If you feel the plates are coming loose, report to me and I'll tighten them for you. Have you any further need for me?" He asked, placing his pincers together.
As the man asked Volray snapped back to reality.
"eh, no, I think" he replied "unless you can rivive the dead" he whispered softly to himself, forgetting how the medic's his race has such a strong hearing.
Shor'Gen paused at Volray's comment, before stepping over to the door. "Then we're done here. If the captain hasn't already met with you, I would recommend speaking to him," he said, motioning towards the door.
"mind If I stay here for a while, I dont feel like roaming the halls alone, not like I know where to go"
Shor'Gen sighed.
"Unfortunately, you cannot remain in the medbay. Many in here are in very delicate shape, and we don't need it any more crowded than it already is. If you would like, I can provide you with a holomap of the ship."
Volray sighed this time "no need, I'll just go and sit in the hall, need some time"
After that Volray got up and walked outside the room, walking a little to the side before sliding down the wall and sitting on the ground, his arms crossed over his legs and his head against the wall.
After a few minutes a messenger send from the captain came to see him.
The man tried to talk to Volray but was ignored, well more like waved away, so he left the note he had with him next to Volray and moved on to his next task.
Volray grabbed the note and glanced over it but did not really read it, something about an offer, but he was not intersted in it, at least not now, the offer would come later.
for now he just sat there on the ground against the wall, tears running across his face as he mourned for his comrades and friends of the ship he served on for years...
