2008-12-30 - Hunting Trip

Mon Calamari: Spaceport
Extending to the horizon on three sides of the Spaceport are the sparkling blue waters of the Q'arth Sea. In stark contrast to this endless rolling azure carpet are the pyramidal white buildings that comprise the main passenger terminal and control tower of this busy floating port. The walls of these elegant buildings are of highly polished grello coral - quarried at great expense from the reefs surrounding the nearby islands.
In front of the main terminal building the landing area is a pristine grid of plascrete elevated well above the waves. Here meticulously demarcated areas designate the landing areas for a variety of domestic and foreign spacecraft. Larger pads for intergalactic freighters are grouped around the squat base of the freight pyramid. 
An incessant breeze wafts across the whole complex, carrying with it the sea-salty smell of the algae beds lying just offshore - coupled with this are delectable smells coming from the various eating establishments along the promenade that lines the docks to the north. To the right of the docks can be seen the Shipyards, one of the largest facilities in the galaxy. To the distant left, the Royal Calamarian Naval Academy hovers above the waves at the edge of the city.
A large sign reads: All ships subject to search by defense stations prior to landing. All individuals must submit to search for bombs or contraband before leaving the spaceport.
Hangout: This place is well known and easily accessible.

You lock Pelagon Voyager.
Richard Tan is near his ship, the KAS Pelagon Voyager and is rubing his arm from the fight the night before, "That was fun," he comments to himself a she takes a drink from a cup he has next to him as he reads the holonet ont he recent news of the galaxy. He keeps his seat as he is relaxed and is enjoying the down time, although the part of being shot sucks, but to help a friend, it is worth it. Plus he thinks on what Yaala'ani said to him.
Fahrenheit arrives from Mon Calamari: Air above Spaceport.
Nissa emerges from Fahrenheit.
KittypetR5Y9 emerges from Fahrenheit.
Meena Tills comes into the spaceport with his bodyguard, looking -- by the way he walks at least -- somewhat tired and frazzled. The aftermath of the bloody interruption to the ball, must have occupied a fair bit of time.
With the evening falling, Nissa steps out of one of her lesser used ships, Kittypet at her heels. Already dressed for swimming in deep water, she fidgets with a bandage on one forearm as the astromech carries on in whistles. Finally, she shakes her head. "No, Kitty...water and circuits do not mix," she says, "You'll have to stay in the ship again."
Infinitude arrives from Mon Calamari: Air above Spaceport.
Tres emerges from Infinitude.
The Victory Guard emerges from Infinitude.
Richard Tan looks as he sighs, reading over the two most recent motions put up in the Senate and he sighs, "I like both of these, but I am not sure," and he hmms, as he looks up from the datapad and spots Chairman Tills and he stands, putting his datapad in his pocket and heading over towards him. "Chairman Tills," he says with a smile as he approaches and nods his head, "Good to see you," he states. "I would like to apologize for not making the celebration and the ball that was for you and Senator Sarcat," he states to him. "I would also like to speak with you about possibly purchasing a place of residence on Mon Calamari," he adds.
Meena Tills looks up to Richard Tan. "Well," he says softly, his voice taking on an ironic tone, "you were well advised to miss the ball. The Quarren who disrupted it did an unfortunately thorough job. There were casualties. We can talk about a place to live later? There's a nice place in the Becha Reff apartments open."
Teela arrives, fully healed from the incident the previous day. She looks around at the people here and moves closer. "Good day, everyone. I trust you are all alright. Nissa, I see you are well. What happened after I left to take Yaala'ani to safety?"
Kittypet gives an indignant, almost huffing beep as she rolls into the ship. Nissa rolls her eyes, beginning to steps towards the familiar faces. "The ball wasn't the only thing those Quarren disrupted," she says, shaking her head. She offers a smile in greeting to Teela. "Good to see you're doing all right; I'm managing myself." She pauses, sighing a bit. "The protestors scattered shortly after. Not before putting burns on a few of us, though."
UC Shuttle Iota arrives from Mon Calamari: Air above Spaceport.
Botolph emerges from UC Shuttle Iota.
Richard Tan nods, "I have not heard about that," he says in reference to the Quarren Incident. He nod, "As it stand, my only home is my YT-900, so I really do not have a place on any planet to lay my head," he states. "So I am interested in a place if there is one open," he adds as he nods, "How is Master Yaala'ani doing?" he asks Teela as he thinks, "I am doing well, bruised mainly but those will heal," he states.
Meena Tills turns to Nissa. "It's such a shame. Do you think they meant to assassinate Arkai? Or was it a horrible accident?"
Botolph emerges from the Shuttle Iota, still in uniform and not exactly dressed for going hunting underwater - though he does have his trusty blaster pistol! He makes his way down the ramp and towards Meen and Nissa.
James Loro arrives at the Spaceport from the docks
The Infinitude swoops into a echoed landing in the Mon Calamari spaceport. The rampway descends as dark blue uniformed guards walk make their way down. Two of them hoist a strange duraplast case, large enough to hold a suit. In the middle of them Tres can be found, a scowl on his face. "Put that down." He demands. "I can carry my own luggage, really. Why don't you secure a crosswalk or something..."
Nissa frowns thoughtfully, then shakes her head. "I couldn't be sure," she says, "I'm not even sure if the shooting incident and the protest are connected."
Richard Tan looks, "What happened at the Ball?" he asks as he has no idea about anything. "I might be able to help," he adds.
"Yaala'ani is alright. She was merely knocked out by a lucky blow. There was really no injury to speak of," says Teela, watching the gathering of pressure suits with interest. "What is going on?"
Meena Tills turns to Teela. "We have to do the hunt," he says. "I'm expecting the Sarcat and Tills families to be showing up fairly soon. It's a big thing."
Richard Tan nods, "Yea, and as I have never been on a hunt before, this sounds liek an interesting activity," he state.
Botolph stops and salutes Meena and Nissa, "Chairman. Admiral. Congratulations on your bethroal." He nods to the others as well. "I hope I'm not too late for the party? I must've caught something while I was on Thyferra - under the weather for a few days."
James Loro enters the spaceport from the north, a carbine and rifle over the shoulders of his pressure suit. He veers toward the small group and gives Teela a once over to assure himself that she is alright then similes "I'm glad to see that you're alright Miss Zhet'eel'achisala." He then realizes his brief failure of manners and hurriedly glances to the others "I'm of course glad to see that everyone else is alright as well." he adds hastily before returning his attention to Teela and explaining "Part of the Mon Calamari bothroal tradition is an undersea hunting trip."
Nissa smiles a bit. "As long as we keep Aunt Goldie out of the water, things should go fine," she says. She halfway turns, looking up at the approach of another ship. "And that may be my family..." she says, then pauses as she looks to Richard. "Should have been here for the Krakana one. /That/ was fun." It's hard to tell from her voice if she's serious, or just playing, but she is smiling. She turns toward Botolph, inclining her head. "No, arrived just in time...though, you might need something more...water worthy," she says.
Richard Tan looks, "I came right after it remember. You got the short end of the stick if I remember correctly," he says to her.
Teela nods to James. "Thank you. Fortunately, the bacta was quick to repair the damage done to me. It seems I am becoming far too used to being injured." She turns back to Nissa and says, "I would like to come along, if that's alright. However, I don't have a pressure suit of my own."
A large streetcar rolls into the spaceport, and some Mon Calamari get out ...
An elderly couple; a few Calamari about Meena's age, and some young ones.
"Ah!" Meena Tills says suddenly. "And here is my family."
"Erm... What do I need?" Botolph asks, "I can't claim to have gone hunting underwater before. Usually I prefer to keep my feet solidly on land."
James Loro nods "Hopefully know that you're no longer a Jedi you won't find yourself in as many dangerous situations, I can go get you a pressure suit and breathing gear if you like." He then turns to Boltoph "I can only carry one more set of gear but I can show you where to buy it if you would like."
Nissa just smiles at Richard's words. "Once you've been hunting, you never get it out of your system," she says, "And even with the hospital visit, I got something much better out of the deal." She nods in Meena's direction. She turns towards Teela and Botolph. "We'd love for you to join us, Teela," she says, "And I've got extra suits and breathing gear in my ship that you can have."
Even as she speaks, the ship she was looking at before lands, revealing members of the Sarcat family as well. Nissa waves to them, though her interest is more on Meena's approaching family.
"Ah, thank you. I suppose it's funny," begins the Chiss, looking thoughtful. "That I spent most of my life beneath countless thousands of tons of water yet I have never been diving before."
The Tills family converges on Nissa. There's a certain nervous energy in the whole clan of them, a quiet intensity reminiscent of the Prime Minister's mannerisms, though varied. The elderly couple approach Nissa first. "Nissa," the female --Tills' mother? -- says warmly. "I'm so glad you're joining the clan. We won't be ... up ... to the hunt ourselves, so we're here to wish you good hunting!"
James Loro nods to Teela "I grew up less then 20 kilometers from the largest ocean on my homeworld but never went deep-sea diving until my first hunting trip here. I just hope whatever were hunting this time is only the size of a snubfighter or small shuttle."
"This will be my, err, first time." Botolph says, "Usually, I prefer hunting capital ships, but they aren't alive at the time." He steps back as the Mon Calamari have some family bonding time with the future in-laws, though he does express his thanks to Nissa for the offer of a wetsuit.
Richard Tan looks and nods to the arriving families of Meena Tills, "Hello," he says to them as he looks, "Pelagia is a planet that is much like Mon Calamari," he states. "But I spent only a few years, like 10 or so on Pelagia and the rest of the time on Corellia," he says to Teela and the others. "And I have never been deep sea hunting before, so I Am ready to experience it," he adds.
Nissa seems a bit overwhelmed at first by the sudden attention on her, but she smiles and takes it in stride. "Thank you," she says, smiling, "We'll do out best to keep safe in the water, I promise." Even as she speaks, her family is wandering their way over. Both parents, brother and sister, a few stray aunts and uncles...and, last of all, Aunt Goldie.
The rather aged Mon Cal smacks her ivory cane on the ground with a loud *SMACK*, weaving her way through the Sarcats that part for her, for fear of getting pushed out of the way. She squint in the direction of Meena's family, before raising a large monocle to one eye. "Who over there's the head of a the family?" she calls.
The elderly Tills straightens, viewing Aunt Goldie with a cool eye. "I am," he says. "Merrom Tills, at your family's service, madam."
Richard Tan looks between the two and steps out of the way, and over towards James and Teela as he stands and listens to the talk that is about to happen.
"Good, good!" Goldie says. She then looks away, staring at Nissa's ship for a long time. She then startles a bit, blinking. "Ah, where was I...yesh, yesh...Kittypet...petter, thing! Get the ship goin'! We don' want to stand here forever, breathin'." And very loud, very indignant whistle comes from the Fahrenheit, and Goldie just shakes her cane in the air at the astromech. "Don't give me lip, girl!" She then rounds on Merrom, rather quickly for her, and gives a big - and albeit, a bit scary - smile. "A pleasure to meet ya! Gotta figure out what my niece is gettin' into...but let's talk a bit first!"
Nissa just stands there, rubbing a dark stripe above one eye. She gives an apologetic smile to Meena's mother, before resting her hands on her hips. "Well, shall we get going?" She motions towards the Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit: Troop Holding Bay
The Cargo Bay of this Sentinel Landing Craft is boxy and spartan, lined with beaten-up grey benches for soldiers to sit on. This grim looking room has only a stray pin-up poster on the wall to cheer it up, a female human in a skimpy swimsuit, beaming.

Mon Calamari: Under the Ocean
The waters here are blue and not green, cold and not warm, and full of tremendous, ponderous creatures: Vokk-squid, depth-Kraken, schools of Lumina fish, and countless other things too strange to contemplate. It is dark in these deep waters, but the floor of the ocean glows with life. The only sign of civilization is the air-bubble-enclosed plasteel, ferrocrete, and transparisteel lift which descends into the darkness, bound for some distant submarine ghetto.
Running along the seabed, a massive fissure opens into the darkness of the deeps of Mon Calamari, where not even the natives of the planet dare to swim without equipment, for fear of the crushing weight of the sea's indomitable pressure.

With the Fahrenheit hovering just rough six feet or so above the water just off Triggart Island, Kittypet keeps her steady as the ramp opens. Nissa steps down carefully, a rifle already in hand as she peers down at the moving water. "All right...I'm not quite sure what we'll find," she calls, over the noise of the engines. "But let's find out." Without another word, she dives from the ramp, disappearing beneath the waves. No sooner does she get there, though, but a rather ugly looking squid catches her with a sharp tentacle. She flinches, kicking it back as she adjusts her breathing mask.
<SPAN STYLE="COLOR:YELLOW;">COMBAT:</SPAN> Nissa wields her Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle.
Down here the water is cold and still. Schools of fish of many types, brilliantly colored, swim through the water, skirling sometimes at the first hint of a predator. Most of the fish seem to keep well away from the party that now emerges from the large ship, but whether that is due to fear of them, or fear of the ship ... surely the biggest predator of all, who knows?
<SPAN STYLE="COLOR:YELLOW;">COMBAT:</SPAN> Botolph wields his BlasTech X92 Advanced Blaster.
Richard Tan looks as he sees Nissa jump and he adjusts his breathing mask, "Well, time to get wet," he says with a grin and he dives in right after her, his blaster in his hand. As he hits the water, he sees the squid and is able to avoid its attack and surfaces to readjust the mask on his face and he looks up, "Come on in," he says. "The water is fine," he adds as he moves over to were Nissa is.
Botolph comes to the end of the ramp, holding his hand over his pistol holster and the other over his breathing mask. With a hop and a splash, he follows the others into the water and then draws his weapon. "It's like Oona. Only wetter." he remarks, drolly.
Despite having got shredded by that Krakana the last time she was here, Nissa seems perfectly at ease in the water. She gives a wave to the family members watching from the open ramp of the ship, before she disappears further down, rifle in hand. She activates the comsys of her mask, giving it a moment before she calls, "All accounted for?"
No sooner does she inquire, though, something begins moving further below. Rather a dark shadow at the moment, quickly moving closer to the group.
James Loro hops into the water then hisses as he is stung by one of the squids. He shakes it off and runs a quick check to confirm that his rifle's underwater scope is functional before saying "Present." into his own comsys.
Meena Tills moves to Nissa's side, his eyes -- large eyes. Anyone wonder why such large eyes? -- scanning for danger.
Teela descends into the water and as soon as her feet are below the surface, she yelps with pain as something unseen dashes by her leg and inflicts an injury. She is momentarily hesitant, then finally submerges to meet the others. "What was that?" she calls into the comsys.
Richard Tan nods as he looks at the others dives, "Here," he says over the comsys and he looks at the thing heading for them, "I have no idea, but I Am sure whatever it is is not too friendly," he adds a she swims over to the others.
Botolph checks that his mask is firmly in place and then double checks his gauges before he answers through the comm system, "Present, Admiral." He looks in the direction of the shadowy shape, "Something pretty big, I think..."
"Are you all right?" Nissa calls, giving a kick to half turn towards Teela. "Probably one of the larger fishes, but--" She stops as something moves in the corner of her vision, already flashing by and kicking water away in its wake as it passes. "Watch out!" she shouts, trying to angle herself backward out of the way. The large creature shoots past, razor fins cutting through the water as it aims teeth to bite the closest being it sees!
James Loro notices Teela's reaction as the fish bites her leg and hurriedly swims over to her. "Are you alright?" he asks with a note of concern in his voice.
"Not that big," Meena Tills says softly. "I think we've got a school of Lumina fish incoming. Easy to scare off, if you act swiftly." He pulls out his blaster ... and begins to try to see what is coming ... just in time to take a pot shot at one of the Lumina fish.

James Loro is looking at you.
Teela is looking at you.
A whole school of Lumina Fish come swimming in, apparently confusing the Mon Calamari and humans for one of the other aquatic species that are their usual prey ... Meena Tills raises his rifle, shooting the fish that attacked Nissa, but not quite dodging another fish that comes in from the side. At the last moment, he moves his rifle around to get it if it comes around for another pass ... but there are more. A good twenty or thirty of them.
Richard Tan looks and blinks, "Lovely," he says to everyone as he pulls his blaster and takes aim as well and pulls the trigger of his blaster and the bolt flies through the water, towards the Lumina Fish. Only his shot goes wide as one of them came in and hit him with the razor fin. Grunting from the hit, he holds his side as he looks and thinks, "If we get cut up any more, our blood is going to have a lot more than these things here," he states.
Botolph turns and fires, blaster bolts sizzling through the water, even as a huge razor fin grates against his diving suit, drawing blood before the suit seals itself. The fish that caused it is soon floating to the surface with a blaster wound through its head. "Size is relative, Chairman..." the Admiral says, in a slightly pained voice.
"Wasn't quite expecting a whole school," Nissa says, flinches as one of the sharp fins catches her side. She twists in the water, giving a hard kick to get the fish off her. It names a harsh sound, rounding on itself to come back. Many teeth flash in the dim water, and she quickly swims backward, aiming her rifle and taken down the fish with a well aimed bolt.
Teela accepts the blaster from Nissa and looks at it. "These work underwater?" She shrugs and takes aim at the fish. A few blaster bolts hiss through the water and strike several of the fish, killing them. Apparently the swarm took offence to this, and they dash past, gouging her with their razor fins. A cry of pain goes out through the comsys, and a cloud of red starts to accumulate around the Chiss.
James Loro noting the swarm of incoming predatory fish attacking Teela swims over to her and wraps himself around her trying desperately to keep himself between her and the swarm. He hisses in pain as two points of biting pain lance through his mid and upper back.
Meena Tills turns, firing again and again. It seems he does know something about this underwater hunting business, and he does his best to keep the fish off Nissa. But in the process some of them cause serious rips and tears in his suit. Some blood begins to float into the water ...
<SPAN STYLE="COLOR:YELLOW;">COMBAT:</SPAN> Nissa fires her Masterwork SoroSuub HK3/a Rifle at Vokk Squid!
<SPAN STYLE="COLOR:YELLOW;">COMBAT:</SPAN> Vokk Squid tries to dodge, but Nissa's blaster bolt hits and moderately wounds him.

<SPAN STYLE="COLOR:YELLOW;">COMBAT:</SPAN> Nissa tries to dodge, but Vokk Squid's Noodly Appendage hits and lightly wounds Nissa.
"And these are the less dangerous predators?" Botolph asks, with a frown, as he continues to blast away, hitting a few more fish and taking another gash, "And some people call this fun, hrm?"
"Compared to the Krakana a few months back? This is..." Nissa doesn't have time to reply, the blood floating in the water is already driving the school into more of a quick frenzy. She aims another shot, taking one nearer one of the others down. She aims for another, though this one is fast, catching her shoulder in its teeth. She bites back have a sound of pain, trying to shake it off. She manages to get a knee under its belly, pushing the thing away before she fires again.
Meena Tills fires at the Lumina fish attacking Nissa. Apparently the carnage is finally starting to cause the Lumina fish to reconsider their career options, for some of them start swimming away, perhaps recognizing that a lot of the blood in the water is the wrong taste ...
Richard Tan looks, "I think this is fun, if you enjoy it, but when the fins are razor sharp and make short work of your suit, the fun stops there," he states as he turns and takes aim, firing a few more times as he is hit and takes some wound, "Oh I am going to be sore tomorrow," he states simply as he keeps firing.
The Lumina fish aren't the only thing the blood is attracting, though. Something shoots up from the depths, dark and twice as long as a human. It hits the school of fish at full speed, tentacles grabbing for one here and there, even making a frenzied grab for the sentiments' as well.
"I had heard the sea life was violent, but this is starting to get more dangerous than I expected," says Teela, "What sorts of creatures will be drawn by all this blood in the water?" She looks around and finally looks downward, spotting the larger creature.

"Watch out!" Meena Tills calls over the comlink as the Vokk Squid angles in. "Vokk at three o'clock!"
He raises his rifle, getting off a quick shot, though it only severes a tentacle or two. The enraged beast lets out a supersonic scream as it closes in.
Richard Tan fires at the Lumina Fish and they are beat it quick like as he looks, "I take it that is not a good sign," he states to them as he looks around and sees the next friendly, a Vokk Squid, "What's a Vokk..." and he looks, "OH great," and he raises his blaster and takes aim at it as the things gets closer and he starts to swim out of the way as he fires, missing the squid completely, but getting a gift from the appendages of the squid which does a lot of damage to him and he collapses from the hit, floating toward the top of the water, not moving, the blaster still in his hand.
James Loro awkwardly swims with one arm holding Teela tight against him while the rifle in the other fires twice toward the squid. He kicks slightly as the first bolt burns through the sea but it is just enough to propel him and Teela safely out of counterattack range.
Nissa kicks backward to get a better angle to shoot, before she sends another blaster bolt in the direction of the squid. The sudden attacks distract it from its lumina fish feast, and it turns towards the attackers. She manages to slip past the first strike with a quick twist, though the second smack from a tentacle catches her hard. She floats there for a moment, fighting to catch her breath and the squid heads for its next target.
Botolph is wounded again by the knobby appendage of a squid, but manages to get off a round from his blaster, wounding the thing before he is shoved aside, flailing backwards in the water. He manages to catch himself on a rock and pull back upright.
The Vokk squid is suddenly hit by a bolt ... from James Loro, perhaps? ... and writhes, releasing a great cloud of black ink. The it twists, spasms, and goes limp. The lumina fish ... those still swimming ... are long gone.
Teela makes an upset noise and wriggles in James's grasp, trying to reach the surface. "I can't see! Ah, it hurts and stings! What is going on down there?"
Richard Tan continues to float in the water, out cold.
James Loro blushes a very deep, very bright shade of red which lights up the ocean around him as Teela wriggles against him. "I'm sorry about any discomfort I caused you." he says as he releases her. "I think the black substance is ink from the squid which means someone finished it off. He states as he joins her in the upward swim.
Recovering quickly, Nissa is already sighting down her rifle to get another shot...but it seems someone's already beaten her. As the creature dies, she gets caught on the edges of the cloud, though she tries to swim out of it. "That was close...how's everyone doing?" she calls, "...and where'd you happen to end up? I can barely see anything."
"I'm all right," Meena Tills says. "Be sure to gather the fish. We need them for the feast after the hunt. And let's get out of the water before the blood attracts anything else."
Botolph follows the bubbles from his breather in the direction that seems to be 'up', even if he can't see a thing either. Over the suit's comms, he says, "I'm a bit hurt, but I think I'll be fine with a little bacta. That was exciting."
"Wait," Teela calls out, "Richard. He's unconscious, there. Someone get him out of the water quickly! I can't- Ah," She tries moving upward with James again.
"I'll get him," Nissa calls, finally finding her way to clearer water. She nudges one of the fish towards the surface, perhaps hoping it'll float up on it's own. She brings the strape of her rifle over a shoulder to keep it out of the way, before she swims towards Richard to drag him towards the surface and back to the ship.
Meena Tills follows after Nissa. keeping his blaster at ready ... just in case.
James Loro begins swimming towards Richard and joins Nissa in dragging him towards the ship, his face still serving as a red underwater light though it's not as bright as it had been a few moments earlier.
Kittypet already has the Fahrenheit hovering over the surface, much closer to the waves this time. The ramp is lowered, closer enough people and pull themselves and others up without a problem. The ship is kept steady, a few of Nissa's family already on the edge to pull Richard into the ship. "Everyone else up, and we'll get bacta and everything," she calls.

Fahrenheit: Troop Holding Bay

Mon Calamari: Naval Base
The Mon Calamari naval base is a massive anomaly on the landscape. On the surface, it is nothing much to look at, except for the great scooped-out liftoff basin, and the arched tunnel leading steeply down into the crust, big enough to admit a capital ship at a pinch.
But far underground, it opens out, and here, below massive blast shields and protective walls, is the heart of Mon Calamari naval strength. Droids scurry back and forth, retrofitting fighters, and preparing military supplies. Pilots muster for drills. Occasionally announcements boom through the great underground hollow, powered by massive loudspeakers. Mon Calamari may not have the largest fleet of the Republic worlds, but it represents a long and proud military tradition.

Mon Calamari: Fiin Memorial Hospital
Fiin Memorial is a modern medical complex built of grello coral. Its buildings extend over several dock areas, for it has expanded greatly over the years since it was first built. To the left is patient parking and the entrance to the Bacta unit. Adjacent to this is the Emergency and Trauma unit with its landing pad.
A hissing pneumatic door gives access to the main lobby and laboratory complex of the hospital. Directly opposite this is the bank of elevators leading up to the wards. In the lobby, the calmness of the droids taking patient information is periodically contrasted with the frenetic activity of the sentient staff as they rush an emergency patient off a landed airship and into the trauma unit.

Yaala'ani arrives in the lobby of the Hospital
Perhaps the hospital was expecting /some/ sort of visitation, upon hearing there would be another hunting trip. Or it's just one of those slow nights. Either way, some of the staff are near the desk, and respond immediately when the group enters the doors of the emergency area. Nissa finds a place to sit, carefully, waving off one of the nurses when she comes near. "Treat the others, save me for last," she says, firmly.
Meena Tills follows Nissa and also sits down. He doesn't seem badly hurt ... though there is a stiffness to his movements that suggests bruising.
James Loro slings his rifle over his shoulder then shakes his head as one of the medical staff approaches him. He then nods toward Teela "Her first and me next to last." he directs firmly.
Teela walk in and shakes her head. "No, I'm fine. I even surprise myself in how quickly I get over injuries. I sometimes wonder if this is a side-effect of my Jedi training. Um, unless Vokk ink is poisonous, in which case I will need something for that getting in the wounds."
"Well...no hospital stay this time, at least," Nissa says, a bit amused as she towards Meena. One of the nurse's is persistent, trying to get a look at her shoulder. "I said no!" she repeats, waving the fish off. The nurse shakes her head, rushing with a few of the others to take care of the injured Richard Tan. The doctors are working quickly, getting him stabilized.
Richard Tan is brought in on a gurney and he looks like he got the wrong end of the stick. His suit is pressure suit is ripped, and in some places it is not sealed all the way, showing the cuts and injuries form the fish and the squid. His breather mask has been removed, and once he is in the proper place, the medical staff start to remove the pressure suit and ones that is off, they begin to remove the wetsuit that is under it as well. The medic talk, and start to stabilize him as they prep the bacta tank to get him in and healed faster.
"He'll need a day or two in the tank," one of the medics state as another one comments, "Yea, it seems he ran into a Vokk Squid and a school of Lumina Fish," another says as they run scans and mark areas that have severe injuries and areas that are not as severe.
Somebody comes in with a large cooler. "I have the lumina here," he says brightly. "Quite enough for a feast."
James Loro winces slightly as the thought of the ink being toxic hadn't occurred to him then looks toward Teela with a tired simile. "I'm glad to know that you heal quickly though I would vastly prefer it if you never needed to heal again, but in this age I don't think there is any chance of that happening no matter how hard I try."
"We'll definitely eat it later," Nissa says, glancing towards the cooler. She sinks down in her chair, flinching a little. "The ink shouldn't be poisonous, I think..." A glance towards one of the staff, who nods.
And, of course, it doesn't take long for Aunt Goldie for find the crowd. She waltzes into the hospital, probably with some of both family members in tow. "Not back, you younglings!" she calls, cackling with laughter.
Meena Tills sighs softly, and waits while the engineer Richard Tan is taken care of.
James Loro is looking at you.
Yaala'ani is asleep on a bed somewhere in the room, with a bandage wrapped around her forehead and lekku.
Meena Tills looks up as Goldie enters the room. "Got a nice batch of Lumina," he tells her coolly. "Some of the off-worlders didn't swim fast enough, though."
Rena slips out of hiding.
Richard Tan is moved to a Bacta Tank and after having the tubes and other stuff placed on or in him, he is lowered and floats in the tank a the bacta starts to heal his body. Since he is wearing a pair of trunks, the scars on his body can be seen and he has a number that look like injuries form blasters and blades, plus the tattoo upon his right hand is clearly seen as he floats, still unconscious but stable.
James Loro is looking at you.
"It is little solace to me that I heal quickly while my fellows suffer," Teela replies to James. "Well, that is a relief," she says, hearing that the ink should do her no harm. She moves over to Richard's tank and watches as he is set up in there. "Oh, I do hope he will be alright."
 
Rena lets her dark eyes pass over the occupants of the room, slowly creeping into the hospital room. Brows furrow slightly upon sighting Richard in the Bacta tank and she bites her lip worriedly. Pausing, the redhead raps her knuckles very softly on the door post to announce her arrival. "H..hey everyone..."
From the bed where she has been unconscious since the protest last night, Yaala'ani opens her mouth, her eyes still closed, yawns, and then proceeds to open and close it several times. Stretching her lekku, she slowly sits up. "I feel like I've been hit over the head with a rock." she comments to herself.
Nissa just looks up at her Aunt as the elderly Mon Cal grins, sinking further into her chair. Goldie then moves off, disappearing...somewhere. "They swam as fast as they could," Nissa says, glancing over at the others. "We weren't too quick either." She then glances toward Meena, tilting her head. "You didn't get hurt that bad, did you?" Her attention turns towards the familiar voice of the redhead, and she gives a tired wave. "Come join the party, Rena.
James Loro moves to stand by Teela and nods grimly "Believe me I know how you feel. I have a knack for coming out of battles with scratches or minor wounds while those I care about or love end up nearly dead and sometimes maimed." He then turns and waves toward Rena with a simile and says "It's been a while Rena, how are you doing?" before returning his focus to Teela.
Meena Tills makes a small gesture to Nissa as if to dismiss the thought of injury being something to worry about on a hunt. All part of the sport, after all!
He turns his head as Yaala'ani speaks. "I hear you WERE hit over the head by a rock," he tells her. "Some Quarren protesters got a bit over-active, I hear. Complaining about police brutality at the ball, or something." His tone suggests a wryly amused irritation at that particular twist.
"Well, that would certainly explain the headache then." Yaala'ani replies. "This should be a lesson. I hope there's a padawan about. /Someone/ at least, should be smart enough to remember to dodge rocks as well as blaster bolts."
"Good to see you are awake," says Teela, moving over to Yaala'ani. "I saw you felled by the rock and got you out of there Richard offered cover fire while I brought you to safety. I'm glad you're alright."
"Looks like the party was a real-" Rena pauses, taking in the various injuries again, "Smash." The girl forces a grin, coming over to lower herself onto a chair next to Nissa. Glancing at James, she chuckles: "Yeah, I haven't exactly been traveling the beaten paths lately so I've not been running into my friends as much as I'd like." After a moment, the dark eyes drift over to Yaala'ani and mirth glimmers there slightly. She's a Padawan, but not well known for dodging the bullet...or rock herself.
Nissa just smiles, settling in her seat again. Her gaze flickers to Yaala, and the smile grows. "I said to watch the others," she offers, her voice teasing as she winks. "Next time, you watch for blasters, I'll watch for rocks. We'll have everything covered that way." She focus on Rena for a moment, before she says. "No trouble or random creature bites, lately?"
"Oh, thank you very much, Teela. Do me a favor, and take note of this lesson." She pauses a moment, to clear her head enough to think of an eloquent way to phrase it. 
"Dodge rocks." A pause. "I mean...do not focus so much on the large that the small escapes you." Out of the corner of her eye, sh e spots Rena. "You too!"
Richard Tan continues to float in the bacta tank, not moving too much as the drugs are helping in keeping him sedated while his body heals. The various monitors are there, showing stable signs of his vitals as a 2-1B Medical Droid, the same series of droid form ESB that worked the tank when Luke was injured on Hoth. A technician comes in on the hour, checking the machines and making notes on a datapad.
James Loro stands alone near the bacta tank after Teela leaves. His expression darkens as the conversation brings memories of all the times he's failed to protect those he cares about to the forefront of his mind. A chronological record of them begins running through his mind, starting with the sniper incident when he was 12 and ending with the Coruscant hospital attack. He glances toward Teela as this memory raises and a small dark portion of his mind whispers that even if he had a dozen lifetimes he would never be able to make up that failure.
After a long moment, Nissa slowly stands, dragging Meena to his feet and passing him off to his guards. "Get him home," she says, giving them a nod of thanks before she turns to the others. She sighs a little, and then offers a smile. "I doubt there are any rocks here, Yaala...you'll be safe," she says, winking. "I've got to go make sure the families aren't tearing apart the city."
 
 Rena grins and nods to the admonition to keep clear of falling rocks, but seems to tilt her head to one side rather curiously all of a sudden. "Where is Goldie, Nissa?" She leans in and asks, a hint of worry touching her features. Rising to her feet, one would hardly expect the girl to be overly worried about the elderly Mon Calamari who's about as helpless as the entire Navy...but then again...
"I'm gonna go find her, ok? Something's not really right." And with that, the redheaded girl nods to all rather tensely, forcing a smile before hurrying back outside quietly.
