Fallen From Glory
Chapter 6
The hours after the battle where not easy on the old captain or his crew, the ship had been damaged, and he was now going about finding out how many fatalities the crew had taken, luckily or not at the end of the day, only five hands had been killed. The damage to the hull was substantial, but was not as bad as it could have been, whoever these assassins where, they clearly had been order to make sure the girl was dead before the ship was destroyed thusly none of the impacts had been in critical points or systems; a skilled dry dock crew could repair the damage in a day or two. The cat was at the moment combing through a mountain of reports, some of which had even been scrawled on random scraps of paper. When the young girl woke she instantly clutched her arm and called out to the cat who came instantly to her, asking her the obvious question,
“Arm hurt?”
The girl nodded as the cat took a closer look then saying as her face scrunched up a bit from pain as the cat was forced to manipulate her arm,
“What about you, Are you ok?”
She looked at his outfit, still stained with blood as well as a small amount of small cuts and other little nothing gashes on his arms and face. He nodded and set her arm back down and says rubbing her head,
“Don’t worry about me, I’ve lived through worse, Your father might kill me though, but luckily it seems the stray round that hit you went right through your arm, I know it hurts but it will be ok, shall we go to the med lab to get you patched up?”
The bird nods getting out of bed with his help then leaving the room behind, at which point the captain escorted her to the med lab where the doctor would patch her up. It took a bit of time to get there mainly due to the amount of the crew running around, engineers trying to patch up badly damaged sections of the ship, medical teams tending to hurt crew members, it was just a bit hectic. Eventually they where joined by his first officer, the tiger giving the captain a quick status report then moments later they arrived to the medical bay, but once through the door the captain quickly scooped up Missy, and tossed the young bird into the arms of his first officer, ordering the doors to close behind him. When he turned around what he saw was his medical officer and the fact that the white wolf was currently getting a blow job from one of the girls on the crew, the girl in question taking the wolf’s meat out of her mouth before giving the cat a salute. Facepalming the cat asks looking to the wolf,
“What . . .the hell . . . Are you doing?”
He says with a grin smacking the girl on the butt,
“I was treating her for a sore throat.”
The cat says as he drags his hand down his face,
“With a blow job?”
The wolf smiles with a nod then saying as he decided to cut the crap,
“Look everyone’s a little worked up and everyone’s trying to relax and calm down, is it so bad that I happen to know the names of near every female on the ship who likes to relax by giving a blowjob?”
The cat groans as the wolf then says with a laugh,
“If you want I can give you their names, I’m sure there are more then a few girls willing to earn a few brownie points with the Captain.”
The cat sighs as he mutters ‘Don’t get involved’ under his breath then saying as he walked over and put the girls tits back in her shirt,
“Just put it away for now, I have an underage child that needs some medical attention, once you’re finished with her Jason then you can get back to the ‘sore throat’.”
The wolf chuckles as he nods, the woman heading to another place in the compartment, the cat then opening the door once more looking at the confused tiger and raven in the corridor. Once inside Rikket introduces Missy to the wolf who then goes about examining her; his first officer asking in a hushed tone,
‘So, what was that about?’
The cat says with a sigh responding in another hushed tone,
‘Don’t ask’
The cat nods returning to what he was doing before he got caught up in the event that just unfolded. Rikket looking back to Jason and Missy, the wolf says having finished his examination,
“Alright well I’ve taken a look there are no other injuries so its just that little gun shot wound we need to fix up then.”
The girl nods watching as the wolf got up out of his chair, and fiddled around in a few of his cabinets and then came back with a little red pill and another that was green, saying as he then got her a cup of water.
“Alright, take the green one then the red.”
She asks looking at the two pills she was given,
“So what do they do?”
The wolf smiles then says pointing at the first pill then the second,
“The green one is your standard antibiotic, and the red one is what’s going to help close up and heal that hole.”
She nods then taking the pills she was given, the wolf then smiling and saying as he carefully took her arm, aware that it was still hurting her,
“Now watch this, its pretty cool”
He brushes back some of her feathers showing the actual hole in her arm and in a few moments strange red fibers emerge from under her skin and then form across the small hole, in affect suturing the wound, the young bird giggling as it happened stating that it tickled. Once the little show finished the wolf says giving the girl back her arm,
“There you go, that’s all I can do for you the rest is up to your body to fix.”
He goes on to say as he reached over for a piece of candy on his desk then looking to his captain as the girl smiled and popped the candy into her mouth,
“However, the pill will help to encourage cell re-growth, it will shorten her healing time by half at worst and it will give off a steady amount of pain killers so she’ll not feel a thing, and once finished it will effortlessly brake down and be absorbed by her body as harmless protein.”
The cat nods giving the now happy and now pain free girl a pat on the head as he told her to go wait for him in the corridor, saying to the doctor once she was gone,
“So what was that you just gave her, I‘ve never seen it before?”
The wolf responds, writing down the results of the pill the girl had just ingested,
“It was a bit of an experimental drug my parents recently created, I’ve been asked to give it a few trails before they push on with releasing it for general use. Her body handled it just fine, however there have been a few reports of seizure like activity in the damaged limb in some patients, normally just after being ingested; It didn’t happen this time, it’s a good sign that the change I made to the formula might have done its job.”
The cat looks at the wolf, a bit of a scowl on his face as he said,
“You used her as a guinea pig? isn’t that dangerous?”
The wolf chuckles a little bit then saying, setting down his hololog
“Relax captain, I gave it to her because I know its safe, my parents and their company have given this drug extensive medical trails, its safe, its was only the seizure risk as to why I’m testing it myself, dad thinks that perhaps I can finish and maybe perfect the formula, looks like I may have; but trust me I’m a doctor first and a scientist second, I’d not give an unsafe drug to a patient, its also why I grabbed her arm. For her I made it seem like I was showing her something cool, but really I was restraining her arm just in case it had a seizure.”
The captain sighs the nods then seeing the female officer from before step back into the room the wolf asks with a grin on his face,
“So is that all captain or would you like to help treat her sore throat as well?”
The cat sighs then says as he turns to leave,
“. . . . as you were.”
The wolf nods watching the cat leave before resuming his ‘treatment’, leaving the cat in the corridor, the young girl looking up at him smiling saying as she enjoyed her candy,
“Look Uncle Ricky, my arm doesn’t hurt anymore.”
She flexes her arm a little to prove her point, the cat smiling and giving her head a pat, the girl smiling then following after him as he left the medical room behind. The trip to the medical lab was the only place the two went after the captain returned to his quarters, as once he returned he had to get to work, as it was. The girl watched as the cat went through reports, made subspace calls to people and filed a few reports, she would have said it was boring if she wasn’t the one who ended up accepting items and reports on the cats behalf as he was busy making important calls. The pace was fast and hectic and she quickly got tired, she had no clue how the captain was able to keep up with the so called paper work, it just seemed to keep coming in. The work finished or at least slowed after a few hours, the girl giving an loud sigh of relief when people stopped giving her things to give to the captain, the cat himself laughing as he turned to the girl and said, rubbing her back as he did,
“Sorry about that Missy, didn’t mean for you to get caught up in all the fun, but I had to get that work done.”
She smiled and said as she softly threw herself on his bed,
“What was all that anyway?”
The cat turned to a cup of coffee that had been brought to him during his work and taking a drink before answering the girls \tquestion,
“That was mainly damage reports, personal item damage claims, and other such reports, then I had to get a hold of a salvage yard to see what I could get from that remaining destroyer from the attack, after that I had to find then send a call to a near by shipyard and request permission to arrive and dock for repairs.”
The girl nods, actually having a fair grasp on what he had just said, responding as she sat up,
“But why do you have to do all that? Shouldn’t that be something the fleet you work for take care of?”
The cat laughs a little and says picking up his coffee cup as he does,
“Normally it is, however, the Gun Singer, and its crew are a part of no fleet or company, the only person that has any say about this ship, what it does, and where it goes is me, and as such I have to do all these things normally handled by the suits in charge.”
The girl nods knowing her daddy was such a suit having seen him once or twice doing the same kind of things the cat had just done. She then watches as the cat stands and walks over to her saying as he gave her back a pat,
“Well anyway, after all that I’m getting hungry, how about you?”
The girl nods saying as she got up,
“Yeah, can we go get something to eat?”
Nodding the cat, helps her up off the bed then leads her back to the mess, where inside the old cook had been working on something special for the crew. In the end that something special was a rather fancily dressed up breakfast, bacon, eggs, hash browns, the whole spread. Those who had time to eat did enjoy the food, and it did go far to help everyone out, cheering people up, filling them up, and allow them to relax with good food and good friends. Things got a little formal once the captain showed up, but once he picked up a mug of booze, downed said mug then gave a loud belch, everyone laughed and got back into the mood. Food continued to come out of the kitchen as nearly the entire crew was in the mess eating and trying to shake off the tension from the attack and the manic hours after.
Once the mini party in the mess hall had finished and everyone got back to a semi normal sense of goings on the older cat had once again joined the bridge, the cat having finalized the last few reports that he needed to go through, and it seemed that his assumption was correct after reviewing the final damage report sent to him by Rugger the turtle had suggested that they get the aid of a dry dock for no less then three days to deal with the structural damage done to the ship. Looking to his hololog which had just beeped it was a bit of mail he had gotten, it was from the near by shipyard he had called, he nodded as he read the message, it was simply them letting him know that he had been scheduled in for tomorrow morning and that a tug ship could be dispatched if needed. Looking up from his log, he closed it then picked up his com then said connecting to the engineering bay, Rikket asking as the turtle turned on the com in his little office room,
“Rugger, what is the status of the jump engines?”
The turtle says as he is heard setting something heavy down,
“They’re fine, would just need a few moments to load the fuel, why, do you want to jump?”
The cat says in response,
“Yeah, we’ve got a date with a shipyard at about noon, it’s the only time they have free to do repairs, and the only yard within six sectors that has a dry dock for repairs.”
The turtle says as he puts his hand on the com panel,
“Right, give me about five minutes, I’ll pull enough guys off of repairs to help load the fuel.”
The cat turns off his com then says as he gets the attention of his pilot, the young fox panda who had be dazing off in the wake up having nothing to do once again,
“Miss Maiyumi, get ready for a jump if you would.”
The female nodded a little wiping a bit of sleep from her eyes, stretching into a yawn then asking,
“Where should I set the jump cords to captain?”
The cat says as looked over to the young bird in his charge to see what she was doing, then back to his officer,
“We’re jumping into the vicinity of the fifth planet of the Comock system, we’ll then dock with the shipyard in the area for repairs.”
The girl nods with her usual “aye captain” then turning to her console to input the jump headings, as she did that the captain tuned his com to the ships onboard system, saying once it was connected,
“All hands, this is the Captain, please get ready for a warp jump.”
A few moments passed till the turtle got a hold of Rikket once more, letting him know that the jump engines where ready to use, then after waiting for a few moments the cat ordered his pilot to engage the jump, its destination the Comock shipyard for some needed repairs.
