I am happy to announce that the Medical Bay is now up and running. It will be irreplaceable in the coming days because it will allow us to take better care of our wounded and get them back out into the field quicker. Anyone who is injured on a mission should report to the Medical Bay and remain there until they are checked out and cleared by the doctors.

Bond came rushing into the medical bay. He looked around wildly. He grabbed the nearest medical personal and said, "I need help! Commander Hicks has been wounded badly!"
The medical personal didn't even ask why Hicks needed medical attention, he just said, Follow me! The medical personal rushed down a hallway and into an operating room. He said, to Bond, "Place him on the table. I'll notify the other staff that we have a badly wounded Commander in here."
Bond placed Hicks down on the table and said, "You'll be okay Hicks. Just don't go towards the bright light, okay? I'll stay right here until you are better."
The medical personal that Bond had grabbed came back into the room and said, "Sir. Please come whit me. You will need medical attention too."
Bond followed the medical personal to another room. The medical personal asked Bond to pull up his right pant leg. Bond did and saw that he had a hole going right through his right calf. He did relize that the wound was as bad as it looked. The medical personal told Bond that he would be back on his feet in no time. But for the time being he would have to go around the base using crutches. Bond thanked the medical personal, and went out of the room. He hoped that Hicks would be okay after his surgery.
((I have to go to bed now, so I will talk to you guys and girls tomorrow.))

((If anyone would like to be in control of the med lab that is fine by me. Either you can be an NPC or if your character has knowledge of medicine you can use them. If no one wants to do it we will just do what Bond just did and wing it.))

Jet was running and almost knocked Bond over when Bond came out. "How is he?" Jet began to peer through the window in the med lab doors. Hicks looked really bad.
((I was hoping to be in the arial division, but if no one else offers to be in charge of the med lab, I'll do it.))

As he lay there on the cold operating table Hicks looked at the ceiling and watched as the ceiling fan spun round and round. He had been sloppy on this mission and been wounded worse then he has been in a very long time.
He was beginning to lose feeling in his limbs from all the drugs the doctors were shooting into him trying to prolong his life. Hicks winced as he thought of this because it was as if he had already told himself that he was going to die. He had never thought that way before and it made a shiver go down his spine.
A doctor was standing over him checking his pupils and performing various other tests. He looked down at Hicks and looked at him sympathetically. The doctor didn't say anything but his eyes told the story a dozen times over:
Hicks wasn't going to survive the night.
All Hicks could do was look back at the doctor and give him the slightest of shrugs. He didn't have any problems with dying, it was the living part that had given him such a hard time all these years. Besides, a man like him deserved to die after all that he had done wrong. The only satisfaction Hicks had was that he was able to keep one good man in the world with his sacrifice.
The doctor moved close enough to Hicks so that only he could hear him and said "I can stop the pain for you, sir. It is in my power to do that for you. I can give you something that will let you sleep and then stay asleep. Will you let me do this for you?" the doctor sounded pretty emotional.
Hicks looked at him out of the corner of his eye for a moment and then shook his head. The doctor was about to object but then Hicks pulled him close and said "If I let you do this to me now...it would make a mockery...of who I...am..." Hicks coughed and blood flew onto his clothes. The doctors were quick to clean it up but it was premonition of what was soon to come.

Jet burst into the room and walked over to Hicks. One of the doctors tried to push him out. "Sir, you can't be in here."
"The hell I can't. This man is one of my best friends so YOU can either fix him up, or you can get out. Stop pushing me and get back to work."
Jet couldn't believe that Hicks had let this happen. Before talking to Hicks, Jet pulled the lead doctor to the side and asked for an apprenticeship and the doctor agreed. "Hicks, you'll be fine. A lot of people here depend on you, and if you die now, you'll be letting them all down. Do you want to do that?"
((McClane. Hicks okayed the apprenticeship thing.))

Hicks looked over at Jet sluggishly since the pain was dulling his senses. He had never been the emotional type since years of battle had hardened his heart and soul but Hicks was on the verge of what men call "getting a little misty"
He decided to dodge the question and said "Don't you all...have jobs to do? Get out of here and let the...doctors work..."

"But...yes sir." Jet calmly exited the operation room, but once he got outside, he ran and punched the solid metal wall, causing his hand to slowly bleed. "How could he give up hope? I know he has. GOD." Jet quickly wraped his hand in a paper towel and put it in his pocket so that Sabath wouldn't notice.

Bond could see that Hicks wouldn't make it through the night. He looked down at his feet and thought to himself, "Why? Why did I do that? Why did I let Hicks get hurt? Why didn't I stop him? Why?" Bond was angry at himself and also at Hicks. He didn't know why he was angry at Hicks, though.
Bond looked in at Hicks, then looked down at his feet and quickly said a prayer, "Dear Heavenly Father. Please don't let Hicks die. I know that it is not his time to die. I beg of you, please don't let Hicks die. In your name I pray, amen." Bond looked up at Hicks again. "Don't die Hicks. Please don't die." He said.
Bond then left the medical bay. He was going to the gym for a while. Even though the doctors told him not to work out, he was going to push himself to the limit.
Before Bond left the medical bay, he looked back at Hicks and tears sprang into his eyes. Then he left.

Eriku sat. Unmoving. Unblinking. She could scarely feel herself breathing. Had her heart stopped? Was she dying? No. She was in shock. Hicks couldn't die, he was. . . Hicks! The one that had gotten her to join the guild for Pete's sake!
She watched silently as Bond stormed out of the room and Jet punched the wall in frustration. And still she did not move. Didn't try to comfort them. Didn't want them to comfort her. She just wanted to be left alone. Her curiousity of Hick's condition was eating her alive, and yet she could not muster the strength to simply turn her head sideways and look. Why was it that when someone needed their strength the most they didn't have it?

Yen shi V.C. Hicks ((If anyone would like to be in control of the med lab that is fine by me. Either you can be an NPC or if your character has knowledge of medicine you can use them. If no one wants to do it we will just do what Bond just did and wing it.)) ((Sir, as the guild's self-proclaimed medic, it would be an honor to run this medbay, and to ensure that no CONFLICT member, or any ally, recieves anything less than the best medical care available. If you'll allow it sir.)) ((You are the second person to show an interest in this which surprises me. I thought we would have to bribe people to do it. wink Well this creates an interesting dilemma. Perhaps you could both run it? I am not sure how you guys want to settle this.)) Hicks glanced around and noticed that his comrades had all left him. Good. He wanted it that way. The doctors seemed to be leaving him alone now since they did all they could for him. They patched up his wounds as best as they could and now it was all on Hicks to get better. They could do little more for him now and if he wanted to survive the night it was all on him. Hicks stretched slightly and decided that they had done all they could for him here. The doctors were taking a break and talking in the corner of the med bay about Hicks. They obviously didn't want him to hear what they were saying. That was fine by Hicks. He didn't want them to see where he was going. He made sure that none of them were looking but he didn't even have to check. They were all burned out from the hours of surgery and most of them were asleep in chairs. Hicks slowly got up from the medical table and walked out of the door. It took him a long time to accomplish this feat because of his wounds. Thankfully the medical bay was near the back exit of the base which was where Hicks was headed. Hicks made sure to cover his tracks and was sure that he wasn't followed. He didn't want anyone to worry about him. Once he was outside he lied himself down in the grass by a small forest. The night was cool and dew was beginning to gather on the blades of grass under him. The cold water was a soothing sensation and it woke Hicks up a little when he touched them. He lied there for a while thinking about all the things that troubled him and thought about how inconsequential they were to him now.

Bond had exited the gym and saw Hicks leaving the base. He decided that he would follow him.
When Hicks layed down, Bond walked up and hid in a bush. He watched and waited for Hicks to tell him that it was okay for him to come out of hiding and sit next to him. Bond was still crying but he had it almost undercontrol.
