Hail Mary

[Kansas Kenickie 0]

Once Kansas hit the floor survival training kicked on over drive, the sounds of the crew around faded out and the only sound she could hear was her own heartbeat, with slight murmurs in the background. 

Keeping one hand inside her wound, she felt around to determine if anything important was damaged and at the same time reached into her waistband pocket.  She pulled out at small tin, about the size of a deck of cards and slid the small bottle of *sulfa powder out. She inhaled quickly and poured the powder inside the wound as her gut burned from the powder she pulled out the small syrette and inject the wound with morphine.  With the yelling and chaos going on around her no one noticed as she lifted her tunic up and pulled a wound sealant (Tape-like thing) over the puncture.

With the pain numb and her own injury an after thought she could hear Matt yelling at the medical staff as they only treated OPSGirl. Kansas gripped the bottom of the Helm seat and placed her other hand flat on the floor fingers towards her shoulders and then rolled back, kicking the Helm office in the head and then landed on her feet.

She quickly grabbed the knife out of OPSGirls hand and threw it across the room and into the wall panel, hoping that she disabled the power to the lift to keep security back up from entering the Bridge and causing them to be even more out numbered then they already were.

 

*Sulfanilamide greatly affected the mortality rate during War. American soldiers were taught to immediately sprinkle sulfa powder on any open wound to prevent infection. Every soldier is issued a first aid pouch that was designed to be attached to the soldier's waist belt

I think it cost some solders their sanity by repetitive use.  LOL! 

No Use Kansas!
