[McCoy looks very tired, has a five-o-clock shadow goin' on, and just... He looks like he woke up from a terrible nap. Which he has. And he keeps pushing down the annoying cowlick in his hair from said long nap. But either way, there's something definitely... off. And for a moment, he doesn't say anything. He just looks down, shuts his eyes, then back up, face serious again.]

Right. Sorry for my absence. I seemed to have fallen into a coma for a few days there. No biggy.

[And he's not about to disclose what happened in the coma.]

Is everyone all right? Specifically you kids - yeah, how are you holding up? Can I get some sort of roll call, please? Did anyone go and get their arm blown off or... [He wants to say "die," but he just... nope, inappropriate timing.] Right. If anyone needs to see a doctor - you know, a human one - I'll be in Solus's clinic in about fifteen minutes.

[Locked to Solus Prime]

Mind tellin' me exactly what happened to me? One minute I'm like a Goddamn rabbit hopped up on stimulants, next I'm collapsing, and I'm... I went back. And now I'm suddenly here again. What, is this some sort of trick by the Lambda or Unicorn or whatever? Because I really hate to think one of you were involved in bringing me back here. Not when I was needed - not when he needed me.

[Sorry he's so grumpy. After being put through all that and seeing his friend die (but also come back to life ~~thanks to his skills and that asshole British superhuman guy~~), you can surely understand his less than enthusiastic mood right now.]

Define "deserved."

[McCoy just sorta... rubs his face.] Yeah. Yeah, I just need a shower and a shave and at least a bar's worth of alcoholic beverages.

Uh. I touched the Pillar even after we had a five minute conversation about how shit of an idea that would be. Then tried to murder Strelok because it made me think he was a necromorph.

[frown. don't shave let's be beard buddies] I don't blame you. Take a day off or something, Jesus.

I told you not to touch it! [Out of context, this is great. But too bad he's furious now. McCoy gives him such an angry look, hands thrown in the air.] No one takes my advice; I give out damn good advice, too. Ya'll are thrill-seeking children, I swear!

[McCoy's blood pressure eventually returns to normal. He sighs.] Can't really take a day off when you're the only person certified and qualified to treat humans here. That, and for things like this. Even then, I'm overdue for a scavenger hunt.

Hey, if I hadn't touched it then Strelok would've, and he had a shitload of guns. Then I wouldn't be sitting here. Probably in some ditch somewhere instead, y'know? Lesser of two evils.

[NO NOT TOUCHING IT WAS NOT AN OPTION DO YOU EVEN SCIENCE]

That female robot fixed me up fineish! Besides, all I really need now is to get mobility n'shit back. I can look after myself, dad. Honest!

[yeah ok he's taking the piss but he's also kinda high on painkillers so]
