"Long term dehydration and starvation. Not enough to trigger re-feeding syndrome - chakra helps with that - but enough people will be weak. Some probably have suffered recent blood loss. Broken bones, probably that set poorly, burns, a few open wounds. Some people are probably on very strange drug cocktails but I can get a list out of Karin. If anyone looks unlikely to survive on their own I can press her into healing them. She isn't the best medic, but she was considered good enough to run this place alone."

"Things that are local - blood pills and soldier pills will stimulate recovery, and they're common enough in the military someone here will know how to administer them. Soldier pills are one per person per day unless you're willing to risk toxicity, for a maximum of five days."

"We're mostly lactose tolerant, except some people from Lightning, which is nearby, so probably assume some portion are intolerant. Glutenous grains are fairly rare and usually expensive a lot of places, so I have no idea how many people are gluten intolerant. Deadly allergies are rare, but I don't think most people will have ever eaten a peanut. I know of absolutely no one allergic to D-rations, which are good for travel."

"This place was mostly storage, not active experiments, so I'd generally expect walking wounded who'll be fine if they can get to the mainland."

"Okay. D-rations, universal blood transfusions, burn gels, I can re-set bones as needed and patch any open wounds that are bad enough to want personal attention, rehydration salts and water, and I guess the prisoners might have their own requests. Where do you want stuff, on the boats or on the shore or what -"

"Boats would be efficient for anything they're self-applying. They'll be anxious to get a head start on any pursuit."

Cam starts making little speedboats and filling them with rations and water and salt and bandages.

And Sasuke goes to keep an eye on Karin, explain the situation, and help the four who aren't moving under their own power out - two due to a missing leg, one to a broken ankle, one to simple weakness and fever.

Sasuke's guess that they'd mostly be dealing with older or more chronic problems was correct, but there's still a good number of people bandaged or in crude casts. Karin heals one Sasuke identifies as having internal injuries, though it seems to tire her a good bit. He also has her flush the experimental drugs out of people's systems, and identifies the names and doses of things people actually still need or will need to be weaned off of.

(Fortunately, one of the less injured patients has past medical training, and is taking charge of the group.)

"Do you want your leg back?" Cam asks of Missing Leg.

Permalink

Both ones with missing legs would, in fact, like to no longer be missing legs.

Permalink

"Do you want to be awake for the procedure? I have to cut off some of the stump to have a clean place to attach the leg."

Permalink

One would rather be unconscious; he's had enough pain and blood.

The other scoffs at the idea of blood and says she'd rather see this.

Permalink

Up to them. Cam puts the one under, checks up on things to make sure he doesn't have Weird Ninja Reactions to the anaesthesia, and gives him a minute to get properly asleep while he works on the other one, who has to lie on his side in case he throws up and can have a very thorough nerve block on the leg. Slice. Leg. "There you go." Then he repeats the process on the unconscious one.

Permalink

No unusual reactions, though the one he operated on first seems fascinated with her new leg.

"Can I walk on it right away?"

Permalink

"Well, the numbness'll take a while to wear off, but if you wanna try it despite that, go for it." He starts waking up the unconscious one.

Permalink

She wobbles a bit and has to stare at her leg but manages some motion.

The unconscious one wakes up, and is mostly just thankful. He does not try immediately walking around.

Permalink

Cam moves on to the next most urgent patients.

Permalink

Everyone's cooperative, mostly, though some seem more resigned or wary. There's a general sense that they need to get out as fast as they can; a group of the less injured take a speed boat and leave before Cam finishes with the more injured.

(There's some attempt to coordinate where they're going, which Sasuke helps with, but a lot of them are planning to just scatter.)

Permalink

That seems reasonable to him! He's not gonna hold anyone down for medical treatment, it's just available since he did go to med school.

Permalink

No one's actually interested in throwing their lot fully in with Sasuke, though they get some thanks.

Soon enough, everyone who wants treatment has gotten it, and the last group is departing.

Permalink

"Well, that was exciting."

Permalink

"Ah. Sorry about the lack of warning on the prisoners."

Permalink

"It seems like a sort of standard supervillain behavior, having a random assortment of prisoners to do sinister experiments on. I hope they do okay."

Permalink

"Yeah... He was originally driven from the Leaf for unauthorized experiments on citizens. It's kind of his thing."

"Most of them will probably go into hiding for a while, keep their heads down. Orochimaru's unlikely to go back after any of them specifically; more effort than it's worth now."

Permalink

"Well. Anything else to do here?"

Permalink

"Me and Karin destroyed some of their records, sent the rest with the relevant people already. We're good to leave."

Permalink

"It's nice to meet you," Cam remarks to Karin as he heads back to the shuttle.

Permalink

"Good to meet you too! Did Sasuke-kun actually bother ever asking for your name at any point?"
