Yeah.

(She's not needed for anything at the moment; she sits on the floor of the copilot's station, knees to chest, and rocks.)

Permalink

Reds have left her enough room for that, barely.

Permalink

They reach the jungle. The hold doors open. "Please exit the ship; food and camping supplies are available in the buildings."

Permalink

They hesitate but not long and flow out into the jungle.

Permalink

And the ship takes off. DZ sets the autopilot and hauls Deskyl up for a hug. "You okay?"

    Will be. It takes her a moment to realize that the droid won't be able to see her signing. "Yeah."

"We'll get them. We're already doing better than projections."

    "Yeah."

They approach Rivik again.

Permalink

All the red districts are on fire by now.

Permalink

They check for survivors.

Permalink

Some unconscious and not yet dead of smoke inhalation. Over there three reds ran out and are in the process of being beaten to death.

Permalink

They pick them up. She's in no shape to try healing but she can do some first aid. (The greys, well, might survive. Not her problem.)

Permalink

The reds are not in shape to protest her touching them.

Permalink

Yeah.

Back to the jungle. She's in the process of setting one's leg when they get there.

Permalink

The reds who left people behind cluster near the ship watchfully.

Permalink

The doors open. "If there are any doctors available, please come aboard to assist the injured."

Permalink

There are a couple but they don't have any medical supplies located yet.

Permalink

She directs them to the correct building.

Permalink

Someone fetches them stuff. They work on the injured.

Permalink

Deskyl goes to the pilot's room and meditates. It's... easier, now, a little. She tries not to think about why.

Forty minutes later she returns, face tear-streaked, to offer healing to the survivors.

Permalink

The doctors have kept them stable. One is in the process of drawing blood from a volunteer to transfuse.

Permalink

Well. The ball of blue light makes that a little superfluous.

She goes back to the front when she's done, and DZ asks the reds to organize themselves into appropriately-sized groups for transport and begin loading supplies for the first trip. They can report to her via intercom if they find any problems.

Permalink

They organize. There's a bunch of kids missing parents; they find people to take them.

Permalink

Yeah.

DZ has them double check that there are enough supplies (there are, though they'll need a restock after this trip), and off they go.

Permalink

Reds are subdued during the flight.

Permalink

Yeah, no kidding.

Deskyl leaves them alone; she spends most of it meditating. It's still not the greatest couple weeks of her life, but they get there eventually.

Permalink

And then reds are welcomed by the ones who are already on the planet who don't share a language with them.

Permalink

They'll manage; the local ones have already been through this a few times.

And back they go to the jungle.
