Amber & Rosette - "A Dangerous Pastime"

Who: Amber, Keto, Rosette
Where: Medi-bay
When: After Rufus has been taken away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Medi-bay was quite possibly one of the only places on the ship
that wouldn’t have a 24-hour JMC presence. The medical team had one
job, and one job only, so this was the natural place for Rosette to
go, given she had a pretty severe injury.
Sliding stealthily through the door, Rosette headed straight for the
man in charge.
“I don’t have time for natural healing... have you got an ointment
that will fix a broken collarbone?” Rosette asked, being anxious that
Castillo or her goons would use this injury to their advantage.
Dr. Keto looked up from his desk, and sighed. “you young kids and
your lack of patience.” he said, getting up. “you’ll need formula
39157, and 242.”
“why two?” Rosette asked, curious as to why he didn’t just combine the two.
“Because you’ll need 242 to get rid of the side effect that 39157 has.
Unless you like shouting all the time.” Keto dryly said, although
wishing now that he’d kept his mouth shut as it would have been far
more amusing to watch. It was at this point that Amber piled into the
Medi-bay.
“Hey... we.. gotta.... talk...” She gasped, leaning on Keto’s desk and
breathing hard from the long run.
“Oh good. More reprobates. Look Cleavage, if you aren’t meant to be
here, or you aren’t injured get out. You presence is annoying me.”
Keto said, using her mother’s maiden name in an attempt to rile the
teenager.
“Good bedside manner as always Uncle Charlie.” Amber retorted, using
two words that she knew would wind the ‘good’ doctor up. She smiled
and walked over to Rosette who was busy slapping ointment on her
collarbone. “Rose.... it’s Rufus...” she started.
“What about Rufus? Is he ok?” She asked, jumping off the bed she had
been sat on, to follow Amber back out. In her haste, she forgot to
pick up the second ointment...
“How did you get out? I thought you’d been captured?” she asked as
they both headed for the landing bay that had been transformed into
Resistance HQ.
“That’s the thing isn’t it. Stupid brother of mine gave himself up so
I could be free. Don’t really know what he was thinking other than
that he said I’d be of more use in a fight. That as.... Captain.... I
should be leading the resistance. It’s what.... It’s what.... Jay
would have done.” She said, slowing a little bit to cover her sadness.
Rosette managed to pick up on this, and grabbed Amber's arm to stop her.
“It doesn’t matter what Jay would have done. You’re not Jay. You’re
Amber. Do what Amber would do, and we’ll get Rufus out of there, and
beat that woman that gives us a bad name.”
“True, but he’s a better Captain to model myself on than Seymour.”
Amber said, smiling and picking up the pace again. They weren’t far
away from Resistance HQ.
“Wait a minute. Seymour used to be captain?” Rosette said, skipping a
thought. She didn’t have time for an answer, because several people
inside the landing bay had already heard that Rosette was the most
wanted by Castillo, and wanted to bring her into the fold.
<Tag. Anyone at Resistance HQ, your leaders have arrived :) also,
