[McCoy looks like he needs a bath and a comb to run through his hair. Also, twenty-four hours bed rest. Behind him, there's some activity going on, and the background should be obvious to a few.]

As much as I'd like to be out there, helping you all out, and tending to the wounded on the field, unfortunately, I'm holed up here. [He is sincerely worried and a bit disappointed.] However, since I'm a doctor and not a soldier, this is where I belong. Which is the medical clinic in Solus's temple.

I can't say I'd be much help in terms of the wounded robots and certain alien lifeforms, but for the humans out there: if you're able to get here and need treatment, I'll be available. [curses] It may be difficult, however; the best route here is through the underground tunnels, but since the bugs seem to come from underground, it may be very dangerous and highly risky. I recommend having an escort - a really big, well-armed escort, if possible.

[He pauses a moment to rake hands through his hair. Frustrated that he's kind of helpless.]

If it's an emergency, if anyone can provide the means of transportation, I'm willing to leave. [McCoy glances at origin of noise offscreen, then back again] There's another medic here. Says his name's Ambulance or something. We haven't really had the time to talk. But he's no good for transportation. Something about a "bum leg".

At least none of the damn things have managed to get in here. [infinite grumbling]

Well, if it's just one person who needs to reach you at a time, I can handle getting them to you, even through the tunnels. I mean, technically I can carry more like two, but wounded? Prooobably not a good idea.

[Video]

[adamndoctor]

Do not move the wounded unless aforementioned wounds are superficial and not life-threatening. Any life-threatening wounds may require transportation, depending on the injuries.

Just be careful, kid.

[He's starting to get a little worse for the wear as well. He needs a break.]

I could use a breather. I'll head for the temple to keep them out for a little while.

[Yes, he's still fighting, but at least it's not constant. He's been running himself down. Best not to be stupid and burn himself out in the middle of the battlefield. Even his stamina has limits.]

[Video]

[adamndoctor]

[Yes, good, he likes your logic.]

You're welcome for a break anytime. We'll even give you a complimentary wound check and examination. [tired smirk]

[Video]

[sixthdeadliest]

[He's no Spock, but even Six can grasp basic logic.]

Good. I probably need one anyway.

[That and he needs to talk to a physician about the nanite issue.]

[Video]

[rungout]

I would offer to assist with transportation once I'm cleared to leave the med bay but I don't think I would be allowed to do so.

[Aka Knock Out and Dead End would not allow it.]

You may want to contact one of the police force though. I'm sure they could assist you if needed.

/jacks

[dinnerdate]

Why are you trying to get yourself killed...

DEADS C:

[rungout]

[Rung winces a bit.]

I'm not! I just..wanted to help but I'm staying put, I promise.

B{ rung he's worried

[dinnerdate]

...You can help by not having a death wish.

[Video]

[adamndoctor]

I would not recommend exerting yourself so shortly after discharge, but right now, I think we need all the help we can get. [Though, uh, pardon him, you don't exactly look the combatant type yourself.]

Oh, by the way. [pause] That guy--Dead End, if I recall--he your medical proxy? Friend? Significant other? [He sounds a little like himself with Jim, but shh, he's not gonna say that.]

[Video]

[rungout]

[Yeah he's really not but he tries!

Before he can think of any suggestions for individuals the other can contact, a flustered look appears when Dead End's mentioned, Rung's optics flickering slightly.]

He--Dead End is...my...significant other, yes.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

I've been been around medibay recently, ah, visiting Vandal. [You may have even seen him, playing the role of protector, ah, from the confines of a certain storage room.]

I'm no medic, but the armed escort part I can provide. I'm flight capable and can carry one human assuming they are hale enough to board on their own. Or have help.

I'm happy to take you into the field too, if you need.

[Video]

[adamndoctor]

Ah, yes, Vandal. Yeah, I've been leaving the other guy here to see to her if needed.

Wonderful. Your help is much appreciated. Any news to report on the battlefield? Anyone in the need of medical attention?

[video]

[doctordon]

[He's on the bridge of the Gokai Galleon, dressed in the kinds of clothes you use to clean up a really messy house.]

Hey! You're that guy from earlier. I'm, uh. I'm Don, but you can call me Doc. Mostly everyone does. I'm not exactly used to fixing giant robots that talk back but I can help. It looks like I got back to the Galleon before uh... All that stuff went down.

[He looks around.]

My captain's here somewhere, maybe sleeping off a food coma... And he's the one who is in charge of the ship. But I can come try to help out with I guess... Fixing? Doctoring? Whatever is the politest.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Yup. Not many of us around to get us confused. And... Doc. All right. The robots are interesting, but so far they've been more help than problematic.

If you've got any medical skills, we could use those here. Maybe your mechanic skills can be used for our robotic patients.

[eyebrow climb] Food coma...

[video]

[doctordon]

[He looks abashed, and gives a small smile.]

When I came I was carrying about enough groceries for five people for a few days, maybe almost a week. He hasn't been eating right, so. I made him something. I'm also the main chef. You kind of have to pull double duty on a little ship like mine.

[He crosses his arms and screws up his lips.]

I don't know much past basic first aid, but I can take orders. And I'm pretty good with machines. I'd like to help with the robot... patients. It'll be nice to make myself useful at least!

[He leans over the console.]

Just give me the word!

[Private Video]

[tearsofsteel]

This is going to sound strange, but how do you do with prosthetics?

[Private Video]

[adamndoctor]

I've done my fair share of work with prosthetics during my time at the academy. But the extent of the damage and what needs to be done-- Got any details?

[Private Video]

[tearsofsteel]

It's a synthetic arm, lost in a fight with one of those things. It was torn at about....between the elbow and forearm. Thankfully I don't feel it too much.

[Accction? He's in the medbay too.]

[deadlydoctor]

There's more than one mech medic, you know. [Have a red robot appearing out of nowhere, he can be rather sneaking, and looking down at you McCoy. One one of his hands is holding his prod while the otehr is changed into a buzz-saw. Just in case he has to deal with another of those things.]

No wonder you humans go bald. Are you trying to tear off your hair in frustration?

[action!]

[adamndoctor]

[McCoy jumps and scowls] My God, man, don't do that! [He sighs and runs a hand through his hair. Looks back to Knock Out and that... buzzsaw.] Right. Doctor. Sorry, I guess I must have overlooked you. [STILL STARING AT THAT BUZZSAW.]

With the way things are going, my hair will fall out by the time I'm thirty all on its own. Or at least turn a pleasant ashen white.

[action!]

[deadlydoctor]

I'm 20 feet tall how could you not see me coming? [Knock Out raises and eyebrow as eh listens to the smaller medic ramble. Buzzsaw still there, yeah. Isn't it pretty?]Is there something wrong You are looking at me weird.

White could look good on you.

[pendragon]

I am beyond relieved to hear we have a doctor who is willing and able to help out humans. As you may have been able to tell, we were lacking.

I may not be as large as the Cybertronians, but I am available should anyone need any escorting. These robotic centipedes do not hinder me. I'm called Saber, and I do not mind being contacted at any time should someone need assistance finding their way to you.

[ A curt nod follows her words. She doesn't rush out to anyone who may need help over the Link as she is often beaten there by another Cybertronian, but she would never turn down a direct request. Especially for another human. ]

( video )

[adamndoctor]

Seems I got my work cut out for me. [tired shrug] But thank God there's this lady named Vandal here to help out, too. She's a bit... tied up right now, however. So it's me and these two guys [jerks a thumb to the medics in the background] for now.

All right, Saber, I welcome any and all help and support you can provide. Guess I neglected to mention my name earlier-- McCoy. Leonard McCoy. Feel free to address me by either name, doesn't really matter. Rank's nothing here anyway.

[pendragon]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I sincerely mean that you are welcome to contact me any time you have a request.

[ How can she turn down a request to escort someone harmed to safety and a doctor? It's easy to assume that if she was contacted, there were no Cybertronians available, either. ]
