Author: Dr. Deborah Reed
Subject: "Edward!! Over here! Steele, HC#7 is clear, set him down now!"
In reply to: Dr. Edward Antony 's message, ""Bloody junky," he muttered under his breath..." on 19:34:58 08/01/01 Wed

Dr. Deborah Reed rushed in from the Docking Bay, Ali McCormick in tow. Behind her, CO Steele carryed a stranger, and set him down on a hovercart. As the librarian Molly ran and showered the little girl with kisses, Deborah let go of Ali's hand and joined her team. There was work to be done.

"We'll do this by the numbers people; I need the patient typed and matched as soon as possible, and then we're going to have to transfuse! Saber! Are you hearing this? Now would be a good time to let us know Lost's bloodtype, or even if we have something he wouldn't reject...? Saber?"

Edward Antony looked at Steele with contempt, wondering who this stranger was he had carryed in. Neither Steele nor Ali seemed as concerned as they should that Deb Reed was addressing the air, or that her voice had a certain..strength, a timbre subtly changed. He'd seen her like this before, when the patient was close to her. But a wounded stranger, so soon after the melodrama with Ali? Edward thought of asking Steele but was repulsed by the idea. Instead he took Deb calmly by the shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Easy, Ace, you look shook up. Maybe I should step in and--"

"STEP BACK, EDWARD!"

Antony flew back, crashing into an unoccupied hovercart! The team working on the Squirrel Maximals gave him a dirty look, annoyed that he had come so close to such vital work. Across the room, Fireshard's care proceeded undisturbed. Edward dusted himself off and stood shakingly, noting with some contempt what was almost a smirk on El'Jarrun's face. But the other stranger was looking at the floor and muttering something about "damn Maximals," and may have been laughing at his own private joke.

"I...I'm sorry, Edward! I didn't mean...

Look, I'll explain later, alright? This isn't the time for you to be stepping in and 'saving' me...I haven't been your student for a long time and you don't understand what's going on here.

Saber! Come on, blast you! Help a girl out...?"

Deb looked desperate now, her forehead glistening. Edward scowled and looked about, wondering if he would have to commit his (more than)favorite student, or if some miraculous booming voice would prove him wrong...
