CR Cragsand S2E6: Hospital triage

===Chapter 6 - Hospital triage ===
====Trades and repairs====
Foobar entering Iron Designs, tells that he is starting a black market, and connected the dots with a "black"-smith somehow being the right place for a "black"-market. Whispering he divulged that he had lost Scootz crystal in the trash and was looking for a way to get a new one. Insisting on initiating some sort of shady business Sten played along, suggesting selling McCuldgers trash firearms as legit when they're really bound to break. With the condition being not to scam any regulars or citizen of Scrap Town Foobar promised 50% of the proceeds on his potential success. Considering it an experiment of sorts Sten watches him waddle off balancing the rifle between his two nubs. He was later spotted pushing Scootz along on a rolling chair and spiraling out of control.Twitch Clip: Scootz ComingThrough Smashing into a road block the angry store owner nearly rolled off a hill. Still angry about his cart he was somewhat satiated when told the repairs were complete and he could retrieve his cart. Foobar now missing the rifle from before, told that he had hid it but also lost Scootz crystal.
Taking a trip to The Hairy dog to refill, Sten told Pepper he was glad to have her back again after debacle with the former mayor, having missed her strong drinks. About the water Atlantis donated before, turns out it wasn't poisoned. She hadn't tasted it herself but some customers did and they seemed to be fine. Looking for a weapon to protect herself at her bar, she feared that Atlantis would come after her for some reason. Settlign for the budget section she was recommened a shotgun, being effective at close range and got a small discount.
*Xion stops by and purchases a proper firearm for 20k after the budget one broke.
*Jorongo, now working for Sean instead of Rico, purchased one of Culdgers cannons 
*Sean ordered a proper firearm, adding him to the list.
*Trey purchased a baseball bat with barbed wire.
*C3 asked for a special order to make explosives, figuring those would be more effective against the large crab creatures he would help supply gunpowder.
====Caravans out====
Charles passed through from The Row, this time leading a caravan to head out in the wastelands with a pirate looking fellow and a younger short woman. The woman threw some shade towards Sheila, who was dangling her feet ontop of a roof with Wit and a rat-looking fellow they adressed as Rikket. She accused her of being responsible for leading an assassin who attempted to kill her father - although unvoluntary. Thinking to ask at first, Sten decided not to. Still indebted to Ash about the crashed vehicle, Sten offers to tag along but his aid is not needed.
The floating postman bot referred to as Bub asked around for an escort out to the oasis, looking to harvest sea slugs for the chef Minto. Directing him to Ront's garage to rent a vehicle Wit, Rikket tagged along, including Sheila who suggesting walking but Sten dismissed that suggestion. Before realizing that none of the customers knew how to drive, Rikket drove off in a rush, it was clear he lied about his skill. Leaving behind Bub's package in the sand Sten and Ront waved after them as they left but it would appear they forgot it.Twitch Clip: When you let Rikket drive (Sten's PoV) Owning up to his mistake Sten paid Ront the 20k credits he got from selling the firearm before and promised more but she declined it. Considering them square he thanked her kindly.
Reports of a large caravan led by Talaris and their CEO Damien Masaru being with them no less spreads around town.
====Hospital emergencies====
The caravan with Charles returns but in with a rush - the truck stops at the hospital and it becomes evident many are severely injured. Helping to move the injured inside the hospital Maxwell explains they that were attacked by raiders. Charles was harpooned through his ribs, Ash and Ryzy were shot multiple times and Maxwell hit in the leg. Lacking any knowledge of wounds Sten stays and applies pressure to Max puncture wound and offers his help. Going from patient to patient C3-Burn treats them while Bean uses up all his magical healing, leaving him exhausted. Ash's arm is injured beyond repair and has to be amputated. Pepper is devastated about Ash and stops C3 from applying administering any anestethic, Ash is allergic to morphine and will have to be held down. This will be gruesome but could have been even worse. With Pepper holding and calming her Bean uses his blade, lending the strength from McCuldger while C3 applies a tourniquet and sutures the wound. Ash screams out loud as she is separated from her arm. Outside the hospital Mercury and Mr Prowler have already started working on a robotic arm for her.Twitch Clip: No squeamish viewers... Ash amputation (Pepper's PoV) 
Rico who has been recovering in the hospital, has gone missing. Having the power to go invisible he would either have slipped away or been taken by someone else as he was never discharged form the hospital. Jorongo explained that he was "tiny now", for some strange reason. Down one councilmember McCuldger needs someone to stand guard outside of the hospital and Sten obliges.
Putting the former mayor aside Ryzy was also missing until discovered, having snuck away, being a goblin thing to hide when injured according to Reeza. C3 after inspecting her said that she might not make it, needing a blood transfusion but the Scrap Town hispital lacked any plasma compatible with Goblins.Twitch clip: Blood type GOBLIN Sten suggest going searching in The Row and head off together with Pepper up the elevator. Looking for a medic they find Dash Spacer who offers universal synthetic blood. At the row clinic, Sten lacks any ID to sign off on but does so with his credit chit and using biometrics. In doing so he is now also registered in the Sonitii database and subject to investigation - having a massive inherited debt. With instructions how to use the plasma they rush back to the hospital where C3 distributes it accordingly. Painful as the treatment is it seems like Ryzy will be alright after all.
Bean looking troubled and staring at his sword which aided in Ash amputation, Sten tried cheering him up, commending him of his hard work and how valuable it is to have him there, especially being a magic user who can heal - a very rare thing indeed.
====Talaris and Nirvana====
Green clad synths sporting Nirvana logos along with a black clad merc from Astral Company come asking to rent a vehicle and hiring guns, but Sten will not abandon his post at the hospital. All the garages have already rented out their trucks and only the ambulance remains. Having heard terrible things about the Astral company and although the fellow sounds friendly, he know not to mess with these people. Calling on C3 the merc asks him to lend them the ambulance, promising riches in compensation. Before driving off the gathering eventually abandons the endeavor as Talaris returns. With purple magic surrounding them Talaris quickly passes through Scrap Town without divulging any secrets and move back to Savior City as soon as quickly as they arrived.
Asking Toolbox what happened he gives account for Councilman Sean and Sten, and plays back footage of all that happened when he joined them out in the wasteland. They were looking for crystals and managed to mine and recover lots of them. They encountered the giant sand pit creature from before which Damien cast some sort of magic on.Twitch VOD: Callous Row RP S2 E6 - Hospital triage YouTube
