Medibay Calms Down
 
Who: Keto, Wildflower,
Jasmine, TreeWhere: MedibayWhen: A while after the chaos=============================  Wildflower straightened up and stretched,
her back cracking rather alarmingly.  It had been almost a solid
eleven hours of work since the hordes of patients started coming in, and all
the medibay staff had been busy all the time.  Now, as the
chaos gradually began to subside, Jasmine had run off to go and replenish
the extremely over-taxed supplies of the medibay, while the Tree was
trying to fix some of the worst damage left over from the clone
attacks.  Keto was still moving from patient to
patient, going back to those who had only had the briefest of treatments. 
His smile was beginning to look a little strained, but was still there. 
It was such an unusual expression that it unnerved Wildflower a
bit - but then, these weren't exactly ordinary
circumstances.  It seemed that even Keto could be nice when patients required it.  "Miss Wildflower," called over
Keto as he turned away from yet another grateful patient, who was now bandaged
almost entirely from head to foot, "I'm just going to get some
more sterilising fluid, I'll be back shortly.  When I get back,
you're free to go off duty.  You look like you could use the rest."  "...don't you need to rest too?"
asked Wildflower after a pause, reluctant to deny that she was in dire need of
recuperation.  To her vague relief, Keto shrugged and flashed another
quirky smile.  "I'll be fine for another few
hours," he said, heading for the door, "I'll be back shortly.  If you
need any help in the meantime, I think the Tree should be able to handle it. 
It doesn't seem to suffer from fatigue."  *Rustle!* confirmed the Tree, apparently as
bouncy and lively as ever.  Suddenly Wildflower felt very old.  "That'd be great," she admitted
with a sigh.  Keto nodded, grinned, and headed out of the door.  Wildflower
leaned against a nearby medibunk and closed her eyes, trying to relax.  "Myu obhay?" asked the muffled
voice of the bandaged man.  "Absolutely fine," replied
Wildflower through gritted teeth.  She was momentarily surprised to realise that at this
instant, she just wanted all the patients to vanish.  She
didn't really care whether they were healed or not - they should just go.  After a moment, the thought stopped
shocking her.  After all, she decided, the nastiness in the medibay had to
balance out SOMEwhere!====================OOC: Just a quick post, since it's tired and I'm
late.  If anybody wants to run into Wildflower in the medibay (or
out of the medibay, when she's off duty in an hour or so), feel free!...Protecting
