The Doctor Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Nyssa stopped. She thought she had heard Crystals voice, but she wasn't sure. "Crystal?" she said aloud. She heard nothing else. She didn't know what to do. Crystal said that they would be best left alone, but the Doctor needed to control her vital signs..... I'll get the cordical stimulator, she thought. Just to be safe. ((The cordical stimulator will only keep Crystal from going into a coma, nothing else. The mental thingy going on between her and Jasra will not be affected.)) Tegan returned, holding three vials of transparent liquid, all with gree stoppers. *Thank you, Tegan,* he said absently, taking the vials. *The hyronalin will keep her system from going into shock. It's a precaution, nothing more...* "What about Jasra?" *She's in no danger, as far as I can see. Though her body temperature is very high. She'll need one of these vials as w-* He stopped at the sound of Jasra's voice. "Crysal's alright, se's just....... resting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Jasra strained to see what she could from the corner of her eye. She could only see the Doctor's hand holding the vial. "What are you doing?" she asked groggily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 *It's called hyronalin. It will keep your system from going into shock; you're body temperature has almost trippled. If you don't take this, you will die.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasraLantill Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The Doctor administered the vial to Jasra. The thick green liquid tasted like it had passed through the guts of a Bantha and clung to the inside of Jasra's mouth like Eopie milk. "Ugh!" she choked. But after a few moments she began to feel...well, more connected to her body. She wiggled her big toe inside her boot. Suppose I can live with the taste if it's helping. But, eeuw!

The Doctor Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 *I know it tastes horrible, but any kind of attemtps I've made to make it more pleasent have failed - very badly, as a matter of fact....* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Badly? Jasra thought. I shudder to even imagine something that could taste worse than that stuff did! "Thanks," she said to the Doctor. "I think it's helping." Her fingers twitched. "See? And I'm not feeling quite as...flushed." And please don't shove another vial of that horrible liquid down my throat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Feeling satisfied that Jasra would be alright, Crystal focused on removing the exess heat from her body that she'd taken from Jasra. There was a skull splitting pain banging about in her head and she knew she appeared unconscious from an outside perspective, but it worked for the moment. "Give me a moment," she murmured. The physical exhertion caused the pain in her head to increase slightly, but she decided that, in the end, it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 "Doing?" There was a long, guilty pause. "Erm...nothing. Just...having a discussion. About... things. Innocuous, but private things." Oh, why did he have to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The Doctor noticed Crystal stirring. He moved over to her, a bottle of hyronolin ready. He pulled out the stopper and poured it down her throat before she could stop him. *This will prevent you from going in shock. It should help the pain a little, as well.* He looked over at Jasra. *Why do I get the feeling that you aren't being entirely truthful?* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Crystal grimaced, but the pain in her head faded to a dull throbbing. She shuddered and sat up slowly, slightly surprised at how tired she'd become. "We'll recover, Doctor," she said. "You don't need to know details."

ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Kira stirred as she felt a jolt of the ship beneath her. They had arrived at Taris. Good bye heaven. Hello hell. With a small yawn, she pulled herself up, stretching slightly. With a small series of cracks from her spine, the Exile pushed her legs out from beneath the covers and over the side of the bunk, shuddering as her feet touched the cold metal. Standing, she keyed open the footlocker beneath her bunk, pulling out her inner Jedi robes, cloak, and boots. She quickly began to dress, then turned to the small mirror that was also in the locker, grabbed her hair band, and pulled her hair back once again into her signature ponytail. As she began to put on her outer robes, she felt another Force signature tickling her senses. "Any particular reason you're watching me, Disciple?" she said, peeking over her shoulder with a small smile, spying the blonde-haired man just outside the doorway. "Er...well..." "Disciple! Disciple! The Doctor needs you! Please, Crytal is in danger!" Both Jedi turned at the voice. A dark look passed between the two, before they both hurried out. "I can sense him in the other dormitory." Disciple said, and the two jogged in through the door to see Crystal and Jasra both lying on the floor. "What happened?" Kira asked, her expression worried as Disciple knelt next to Jasra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 *It's alright, everything is under control. Disciple, I'm going to need a cordical stimulator,* said the Doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 A shiver ran down Jasra's spine. No longer concealing the Force, Jasra could sense the full strength of the Exile’s power. And it scared her. “Don’t touch me, Jedi,” Jasra said to the Disciple, but looking at Kira. “I’m fine. I think. Or I will be, if you just give me a few moments.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "We'll both be fine in a few moments," Crystal said slowly, still holding her head. She moved slowly, sitting up and leaning against the nearest wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Oh, Kira, as long as you're here, I was wondering if you had heard of a planet in the outer rim known as Omwat?* asked the Doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Omwart?" Kira said, her expression darkening. "It's a big ball of slime. Not very appealing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Nyssa and Tegan discovered a datapad in the garage bay, just underneath your pod racer - or are they still called swoop bikes in this era? Oh, I can never keep them straight - anyway, it mentioned a planet named Omwat. I looked into it in the TARDIS databanks, and there wasn't much of interest there. It did say, however, that the people of Omwat are Force sensative.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "That's strange...It felt as if there were barely a twinge of life on the whole planet...not that I was entirely intune with the Force at that point in time, but..." Kira bit the edge of her finger lightly. "This might be worth investigating, seeing as Revan apparently visited the planet..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *Yes, I agree. But perhaps we should meet with Jasra's employer first. I have just tried dematerialising the TARDIS - it seems as if the Timelords have stranded me here. I am needed here. There is some event about to take place that history has not recorded. This trip to Taris is important.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Don't worry," Kira said, a small smile playing across her lips, "It took us forever to get here. I'm not leaving so soon." Now sure that Crystal and Jasra were going to be fine, Kira headed for the cockpit again, intending to check on their progress to a Taris port. "How're we doing, Atton?" she asked. "Fine. I've found a clear dock and we should be landing in a few minutes." he said, casting a dark, sidelong glance at Disciple, who had followed the Exile.

JasraLantill Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 With control now filtering back to her limbs, from time and the Doctor’s intervention, Jasra gradually staggered to her feet. Her head throbbed. But the knowledge that she was close to being finished with her job, combined with the fact that she could now shield her innermost thoughts, made the headache bearable. She made her way to the cockpit, where Kira and the Disciple were looking over Atton’s shoulder as he prepared for landing. “I hope you’re not thinking of using Dock 25,” she said to Atton. “I mean, you do want your ship in one piece when you leave, right?” She sat down uninvited in the navigator’s chair. “Use Dock 8. It’s cheaper, cleaner, and you won’t have to worry about scavs prying off any lose bits from the ship. And they should have a few double bays open. We’ll have to walk through the spice quarter, but being as Karda’s ship is still docked with the Ebon Hawk, it’s the only place we can safely set down.” She rolled out her shoulders, then did a slow head roll to stretch out her neck, before beginning to enter the co-ordinates for Dock 8 into the computer. “I’ll contact my employer while you….” She looked at Atton askance. “OK, fine,” she said irritably. “Land on 25. See if I care. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 "Look, I've been up and down the spacelanes more times than you could even imagine. I know what I'm doing." Atton said, annoyed. "Just sit back and let me do my job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
