Expiration Date ((t'Aehjae/tr'Radaik))

[Kelton tr'Radaik 0]

t'Aehjae looked over tr'Radaik shoulder as he took the final scan of tRandom. She could see the mutineer's color was na good but was hoping he would be able to revive her.

 

"Au can na bring her back?" she asked, fingering the hypo still in her pocket, knowing now that tRandom WAS yyaa by her hand.

 

Kelton's hand tightened into a fist on top of the resuscitation unit, watching the readings for some spike, some indication that he had not been too late with his efforts. But he saw nothing. His first official patient in the Galae was dead. "Na," he said curtly. "I can na bring her back."

 

In a sense he was almost relieved. t'Random had been on his hands for some time now and it had been only a matter of time before she succumbed to the wounds. But he hadn't expected the tremendous sense of frustration and humiliation that for a moment threatened to overwhelm him. She was a mutineer after all...just a fvadt mutineer...but he had been responsible for her...

 

An excellent way to begin one's career. Turning, he scowled and let the scanner drop next to the bed with a heavy thunk.

 

t'Aehjae stepped away from the bed. "Au were using her blood for t'Rexan. What of her now? Will she have a chance? Or is what tr'Guard said correct? If I am the cause of this io's yyaa, and there is na other, then I will also be the possible cause of t'Rexan's yyaa, if we are unable to get her to a medical facility."

 

"I don't know," Kelton said sharply, trying not to sound as discomfited as he felt. Everything t'Aehjae was saying could, approached from the right direction, apply to him as well, and the idea made his stomach clench. Fvadt...she had been living! He had been proud of himself; she had been surviving...when by all rights she should have been dead when she was first attacked. And now... "I don't know. Another resource will have to be found."

 

t'Aehjae turned and walked a few steps away. "Au said it was just a painkiller in the hypo and nathing that would cause this. I have the hypo in my pocket and will turn it over to t'Ksa or NDak when they arrive. Do au wish to contact them? Or shall I?" t'Aehjae once again looked at the woman's body. Ie...she had wanted to kill t'Random, but she had also wanted it to be a fair fight, and na as this, a meaningless killing with a hypo.

 

"It was a painkiller," Kelton said, his voice taking on a slightly defensive tone. "The same medication I had been giving her all along." Her systems had just finally failed, that was all. That was all. There was nothing to be done about it. Get ahold of auself! "I will contact them. Au just...just...do na do anything. Hann'yyo. Just...stay put." Leaning heavily against the bed for a moment, he took a breath, then opened a commline. "tr'Radaik to t'Ksa..."
