*The second blast from the enemy English ship threw the Lady about harshly. Still taking a moment for herself, she was caught off-guard by the second shot, tossing her to the deck floor along with a few of the bandages and instruments she had pulled from the cupboard. She checked her right hand, still bandaged from earlier, and she tightened the knot on it before scrambling back to the counter to put everything to order.
As she was reorganizing, she noticed Quasan leaving the infirmary and going above deck. Thinking about it a moment, she surmised he couldn't rest any longer and went ahead to help in the battle. She noticed him wiping his nose as he ran up to the hatchway. A bloody nose? She wasn't sure, but she hoped the Captain would apprieciate another good strong hand above deck.
Jaden searched around the cupboards til she found the Doctor's satchel he would carry with him from time to time. Thinking quickly, she grabbed some of the bandages and put some into the bag along with some pre-threaded needles to quick stitch minor wounds whilst still above deck. Finally resecuring the other instruments she was sure he'd have to use, she grabbed the satchel and ran back above deck.*

*Jaden dashed into the infirmary, fully expecting the Doctor to be within, gathering up supplies, but instead it sat untouched by anyone but her since before the battle began. Thinking on her feet, she searched quickly for any container she could use to carry all the supplies at once. Not seeing a bag close at hand, she grabbed one of the spare blankets folded off to the side for those who needed to stay on the medical deck and laid it out on the surgeon's table.
The boat tossed back and forth as booming cannons and continuous shouts of orders by the officers came from over head. She didn't stop to listen as to what exactly was going on, instead she grabbed up all that she could from the counter that she had laid out, and placed it in the middle of the cloth. She rolled up the fine utensils and made sure all was mildly secure in the middle of the blanket before taking up the corners and making a sort of sling bag out of it. Lifting it just right, she hoisted it over her shoulder and looked around once more. Realizing that most of the good Doctor's medicines and salves were also here below deck, she went to the cabinet and quickly picked the cupboard lock to gain entry to the leather case that held some of his more used vials. She lifted her makeshift bag with her left hand and in her bandanged right hand carried the medicine case as she closed the cupboard til she heard the latch snap closed. It may not have been locked, but at least it wouldn't fly open now.
She closed the door to the infirmary and listened to everything going on for a moment. Then, heaving everything she could carry, Jaden quickly made her way to the Wardroom. *

*She rushed through the door huffing away as she looked at the cupboards rather franticly. A bone saw. She had never seen one before but had suspected as to what it would look like. Jaden rummaged through the first and second set of cabinets with no avail. Coming upon another locked set of cupboards, she slipped out two of her picks from her little pouch and quickly, quietly unlatched the lock with ease. Inside the cabinet lay some inlaid wood cases, one of which had a star inlaid on the top of it. She opened the case to find a variety of instruments, quite foreign to her, nestled into the green velvet. She carefully closed up the case and found a smaller one which had a few varying sizes of saw blades sitting in a blue velvet casing. Making a snap decision, she took both cases with her back to the Wardroom.
She quickly closed the cabinet which latched quite easily and ran back to the Wardroom.*

Destiny's gun crew carefully placed her on the table in the empty Sick Berth. Unfortunatly for them, the Doctor was nowhere to be seen. In agreement, they all split up to find where he was.
Meanwhile, Destiny lay on the table, the piece of wood still jutting from the side of her chest. Her shirt was stiff with dried blood, and had stuck all around the wound. She slowly came back to consiousness, climbing up from the depths of the darkness-hardly aware of what was going on around her-she knew only that she hurt.

Finally aware of where she was, Desiny began to asses her wounds. Noting that the wood in her side was the major pain, she grasped it with both hands, and in one swift motion, pulled it out. Gasping with the sudden sharp pain, she lay still for a while, allowing her elven constitution to close the wound most of the way.
After about three hours, she reached down and felt the sides almost knit together. Not knowing what was going on above deck, she rumaged thought the cabinets, trying to find soem sandages. Finding some, she wrapped them around her ribs and side, and tied them off. Carefully she put the infirmary back how the Doctor had it, and slowly made her way back onto the deck.

<< Continued from Jaden's Bunk >>
*Jaden quickly but quietly pushed open the door to the Infirmary and shut the door behind her as she entered. She stood there a moment and looked about. From the look of things, it was obvious that the ship had been in battle: strewn about the floor there were bandages that she hadn't taken with to the wardroom earlier. There were also traces of blood on the table she had cleaned before she went to help in the make-shift surgical deck.*
"Someone was here..." she said to herself as she ran her hand over the table and also looked down to the floor where a significant chunk of wood lay on the floor beside it.
*She reached down to the floor and picked up the piece of wood and laid it on the table. Thinking for a moment, she half-wondered who it was who suffered such an injury and thought of a few crewmembers it could have been. She shook the questions from her mind and sighing, she began to pick up items from the ground in a half-hearted effort to clean up the Infirmary. She thought it best to at least pick up the loose items while she looked for some gauze for what she was about to do.
Over in a remote corner of the room, she stumbled across a few of the bandages she had left behind in the event someone came to the medical deck in search of supplies. She scooped them up and noticed the sand pail only a yard away completely devoid of sand. She walked over and flipped the pail on its top. She promptly rested her right foot on the bottom of the bucket and looked about the medical deck. After deciding there was no one in the area, she hiked up her skirts up to her upper thigh. Jaden laid one end of the gauze across the top of her thigh about an inch down from the top of the stocking and began to wrap the bandage around her thigh a few times, each an even taughtness. After 5 or so passes, she stopped and tugged on the edge above the bandage. After a bit of fidgeting, she decided to wrap a couple more times before fishing out the starting edge and tying them in a sturdy knot. She then switched to her left leg and once more checked the Infirmary for stray eyes before once again hiking up her skirts to reveal her thigh to repeat the process for the other stocking.
Before dropping her skirts back down, she opened her black pouch and took out a few of her lockpicking tools. She may have to dress the part of an upstanding lady, but that didn't mean she had to abide by the same rules. Nodding curtly to herself, she slipped two onto the inside of her left thigh between the stocking and the bandage. She adjusted them slightly so they fit snuggly in their temporary position. She stood there a moment and looked into her pouch and thought. Once finally set in her mind to do so, she removed two more and looked up to the glass in the cabinets along the wall. She took the two other picks and slid them into her corset lining, just between cleavage line. Once more she moved the corset around to see if the picks would stay in their temporary home before closing the bag up once more.
She had become far too comfortable in the seemingly empty Infirmary, for she stood there quite a while in her precarious pose while she proceeded to put on her black leather gloves and look about the room with a distant look in her eye.*

Baxter entered the room that he once called an operating theatre to do one last check of things to make sure he hadn't forgotten something vital. He spotted Miss Kale in the corner with a longing look in her eye.
"Something the matter, Miss Kale?"

*She should have known better. There Jaden stood in the Infirmary, with her skirts still riding the edge of her thigh as her mind wandered off about the future which was yet to be. It was his voice which once again snapped her back to reality. Instead of the cool composure she tried so desperately to have once found in the room, she seemed to look like a nervous young child fumbling about herself. She tossed her skirts to the floor to cover her bare leg and nervously began smoothing out the wrinkles out of her clothing. She turned to the Doctor, absolutely scarlet in the face and tried to casually hide her embarassment. As she had in previous times with him however, she failed terribly.*
"I was.... uh nothing Reginald... OH!!!! I mean, Doctor Baxter... I meant..." she flailed sickeningly with her words, like a fish out of water. Exasperated, she inhaled deeply and sighed with an inner defeat that whatever little bit of proper lady-like ways she tried to aspire to were obviously ruined by that one moment in time he had inadvertantly walked in on. She stood there, her gloved hands fidgetting terribly as she dropped her head in embarassment.
"Nothing........ Sir. I simply let my mind wander a bit too long. I am terribly sorry."
*She kept her head dropped as she walked towards the door. The Doctor being right between her and her escape route from the Medical Deck, she tried as hard as she could to hide her flushed face as she attempted to pass him. The Doctor stood before her path and didn't seem to waver as she tried to see an alternate route as she looked at the floor. In her desperation, she rolled her eyes at herself and sighed once more as she soon found herself simply rooted to where she stood, not knowing what to do.*

Grabbing the woman by the shoulder, Reginald spoke softly. "You must calm yourself; you look to be on the verge of tears."
Producing a silk hankerchief he handed it to her, "Stay here and regain your composure. This is not necessarily the end, there is a chance for escape. For that chance to be successful however, everybody must remain steadfast and stay as a group. If the others were to see you despair, it would break their spirit as well."
Baxter then moved pass the young woman to the door, "You probably wish to be alone now, I'm sorry if I've upset you more."
As he reached the door, he stopped and looked around the room once more, giving it one last survey of it's layout and contents.

*She stood before him a moment, quieted by his words. Jaden took the handkerchief and held it to her face as he spoke once more of hope and the spirit of the crew. Her deep green eyes looked up into his as she listened to all he said, soaking in every word. His hand resting on her shoulder gave her the oddest chill yet she didn't move but something definitely seemed to have stirred within her.
It wasn't until the good Doctor had walked towards the door that she moved. She made her way back up towards the door and where he was as he surveyed the room. Jaden very timidly put a hand to his shoulder and looked up at Doctor Baxter once more. She pushed a loose curl from her face and shook her head at him.*
"Doctor, I am not upset. Rather, I was thinking of the last time I was captured..." she said quietly. She had been remembering her first day aboard the ship.
"I was thinking that I doubt any other person would be as nice a captor as you were...." she smiled at little bit before she dropped her head.
She very delicately and sheepishly placed her arms around him and hugged him. She laid her head against his chest and stood there a moment. As she did so, she spoke again rather quietly.
"I would rather not be alone right now, my dear Doctor... But I do apologize if you find this far too forward..."

Not knowing how to respond, Baxter said nothing. He instead gently put his hands on her back and tried to help her relax

Destiny walked into the sick berth hoping to find the Doctor and Jaden within. When she opened the door, she felt a bit acquward upon interrupting them. She decided to give them the message from the Captain, and then depart back to the galley.
The Captain wants both of you on deck. He's come up with a plan. I'll be in the galley if anyone needs me.
With that, she turned, exited and closed the door behind her, then made her way down to the galley.

Baxter abruptly moved away from Miss Kale. He still didn't know what to say. He decided he should do his best to be comforting.
"It's ok, I understand completely. Thankfully, you don't have to be alone, being part of a crew, you always have comrades you can count on to stand with you in time of need. Also, I don't mind having such a pretty young lady hug me. You can trust me to keep your confidence for what it is worth, I won't go spreading lies or information about you to make things more difficult."
It was obvious that Reginald was swimming. Having been caught completely offguard and at a loss for words, he appeared as a blundering idiot. He decided that perhaps he should try to get out before he dug his hole any deeper. "We should probably see what the Captain wants..." Baxter said, his words trailing off towards the end oh the sentence.

*Jaden's face went pink when Miss Destiny entered the sick berth. She dropped her head and began to fidget with her hair as the Doctor swiftly moved away from her embrace. She was sure word would spread of this little, seemingly innocent interaction. Nonetheless, she listened to what the good Doctor said. It took her a moment to register his remark about her being a "pretty young lady" and her face went slightly more crimson as she looked up at him. He finished his reassurance that her confidence would be kept safe with him and she sighed a little to herself.
She cocked her head off to the side a little as she looked at him after his "uplifting diatribe" and noticed that he wasn't all aware of everything at that very moment. Too many things seemed to stir behind his eyes as he stood before her. A shy little hint of a smile crossed her lips. Jaden could see he was a bit bewildered and she could hardly believe it was over such a simple little action on her part. A simple display of affection.
She nodded to his somewhat incomplete sentance and pulled her cloak tighly over her shoulders as she followed the Doctor to the door. Her cheeks, still red from the earlier embarassment.*

"You'll have to learn to hide your embarassment or grow thick skin lest you have more problems than you want when we're taken."
Baxter said as he walked out the door, he briefly stopped once more and gave her a quick hug and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, things will get better."
With that he was gone to find the Captain.
