Who:- Jay, Alota
Where:- Quarters
When:- soon after the 'bugs elegant landing
After getting the fires in the shuttlebay under control, Jay sprinted
out of the shuttlebay. At least he would have had the doors been
working. Instead he collided with them.
Staggering backwards, dazed. he tied to get his bearings, then helped
Phil open the doors by hand, the shuttlebay doors, being designed to
keep the vacuum of space out of the rest of the ship werent exactly
easy to open by hand and it took Jay and Phil, and later, Keto,
Lenin, Wildflower, Tara and the Tree considerable effort to slide
them apart just a few inches enough for everyone to get through. The
medi-bay crew took the still unconcious Trisee's and Shakespeare to
medi-bay. While Jay headed for he and Alota's quarters, hoping she
was ok.
Arriving he tapped in the access code in the control panel.
Nothing happened. He ran down the corridor to the nearby equipment
locker, and ran back to his front door brandishing a crowbar.
Using it to pry the doors apart, he shouted through as the double
doors parted. "ALOTA?!"
Nothing.
"ALOTA?" he shouted again, louder this time.
"Jay?!over here!"
Jay couldnt see her, but what he did see was ANOTHER fire in the main
living room of the quarters unit.
He battled through the flames. Still calling for his wife.
Eventually he found her, in the bedroom. Her leg trapped under a
large section of bulkhead,that had fallen through from the adjacent
quarters.
"What happened?" he asked, grabbing armfuls of debris and throwing
them to one side, trying to free Alota.
"I dont know" she said, "there was an explosion, we lost power,
everything started going crazy"
"Can you walk?" He asked again.
"Yes, but not well." Her leg was badly injured. She tried putting
weight on it, she could stand, just about. Jay put his arm around her
waist, so that she could lean on him for support, braving the flames
once again, the couple headed back into the corridor.
"Let's get you to medibay hon'" Jay said "Maybe then we can figure
out what the hell is going on".
