Nic nodded and scrambbled to her feet, picking up her dagger while doing so. She watched Rue run down the hall, replacing her dagger and dusting herself off she started a very slow walk twoards the medical bay.
'Since he's not around might as well get this thing done right...' Nic thought silently while looking at her hand.
'and maybe get my head checked while im at it.' placing her hands into her pockets Nic let her mind go blank and let everyhting slip away.

(okay. I'm really going to try to get things moving tonight. I'll be online until 10 probably)
Outside the medical bay Dr. Linden ran into Nicole. His brow was creased and there was a troubled look in his eyes.
"Oh it's you again. Nicole right?" he said. "With all the commotion I didn't know where everyone ran off to." Opening the door to the medical bay he step in and held it for Nic.
"Were they able to catch that young man with the glowing devise?"
Linden looked around the room. He stepped over to the two beds and seemed puzzled. "That's strange," he uttered. Dr. Dess doesn't seem to be here, and her other patient is gone as well." Scratching the back of his head he looked over the vitals that had been recorded on Grey.

"No I don't believe so..." Nic didn't want to interupt the doctor but it seemed like it would be a quick job and then shed take off to the 909.
"uh Doctor...umm can I maybe have you take a look at this for me? It won't take long really." Nic said removing her hand from her pocket.

Dr. Linden stopped wandering around the room and turned back to Nic. Seeing her head he winced. "Oh my. How did you get that?" he said.
He walked her toward the bed and motioned for her to hop up on it. Stepping behind her he gently brushed back her hair and looked at the lump at the base of her skull.
"I'm sure this wasn't fun to get. You MUST have run into someone who didn't like you. I'd imagine there was a short period of unconsciousness?" he asked. "Probably feels like your head will explode."
Moving towards the medicine cabnet on one wall he pulled out a bottle. "I'm afraid there's not much I can do right now except apply ice and give you two of these."
Opening the bottle he dropped to pills into her hand. They'll help with the headache and reduce the swelling. Let me get you an ice pack.
"Please though tell me, how did this happen to you?"

"Oh that I spilled something and slipped on that, falling and hitting the ground..." Taking the pills, Nic gave the doctor a weak smile.
"I was acctually hoping you could fix my hand up a little better." she said with a small laugh. Nic slowly unwrapped her hand, looking at it herself, she didn't remember it being that bad before.

Linden looked at her hand and stepped back in front of her. With a crease in his brow he gently removed the bandages and reached for a swab to clean it.
"This is serious. I'm glad you showed it to me. Please, one second." Turning from her he collected a few instruments and stepped back. He picked up her hand in his and turned it in several directions.
"Tell me is there any pain when you move your fingers?"

Rue broke through the doors into Gail's quarters.
"captain, I'm sorry to intrude, but..."
He told the whole story, from Terrek being a traitor to stealing the weapon and launching a pod that moved to quickly for Rue to even do anything about. He sighed.
"I'll...take my punishment as you see fit..."

(lol don't worry about it Tolly i kind of forgot too...)
"Uhhh not a whole lot..." Nic replied, for all she knew it was a pretty bad scrape.
'I can't beleve he totally fell for that lame story I thought of.' Nic tought to herself. ' I wonder how Rue is.'

(Nic I really was about to get off before you posted, but I promised so I'm gonna deliver)
"Good, no pain means the joints are good and the bones haven't been hurt. It is a deep cut though. I'm surprised you hadn't said something about this earlier. Of course from the moment we met you've struck me as the kind who wouldn't let a thing like this stop you."
Linden picked up a needle and looked at her. It's not bad, but I do need to put two stitches in it. It will heal quicker and leave less of a scar that way. Don't worry I'll make sure the bandage doesn't interfere with your piloting."
Smiling her put the needle into the cut. "This is a numbing agent. Trust me it will hurt less than the other needle."
Quickly sewing up the injury he tried to fill the moments with a little talk. "So, that bump on your head. Just happen to show up after that little incident earlier huh? I'd imagine that kind of thing happened often. You do like to speak your mind."
He laughed, "Like when you told off the commander of the Voderak's Hand. It I live to be one hundred I don't think I'll ever forget such a sight. The military leader of hundreds being put in his place by a young girl. Truly priceless."

(opps sorry about that...)
Nic watched while Doctor linden did his work, it was much less painful then what she used to do. But when he had mentioned the bump on her head she almost gave everything away. 'great he didn't go for it...thats just grand just grand.' Nic thought to herself.
"uhh.." Nic replied shortly and with little breath. "you uhh remember that?" Nic said while watch him fix her hand.

Once Doctor Linden had finished with her hand Nic thanked him and rose to walk out of the medical bay. Half way to the door Nic started to sway a bit, and loose her balance. After a few more steps everything went fuzzy then dark. Slowly she fell.
(later all...i tried my best...)
(Sorry Nic. I just can't leave you laying in a corner of the ship turning into a skeleton. I'm changing this post ever so slightly)
She never felt the doctors hands. Not as he caught her. Not as she carried her back to the bed. Her mind drifted and try though he might. Linden didn't seem to know how to revive her.

Niko, still on the steps of the hangar, lifted his head so his eyes were staring at the 901's eyes.
"I'm sorry my friend..... I can't take this anymore..... the pain..... the sorrow..... the memories....."
Commencing.....
Count Down Begins at 30, 29.....
Tears began running down his left cheek, from his left eye.
16, 15....
Niko looked back at his hands and all the sins he has done in his life, he looked up unto the light and closed his eyes.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...... Self-Destruct Sequence Completed
With that, blood splattered the walls like a fresh coat of paint, limbs flew off and slid among the ground, and finally his left eye slid to a hault among the ground, staring into the 901's left eye.....

Making her way down the hall Dr. Dess had followed her patient. Several times however she had been forced to stop. There seemed to be no energy in her. With much effort she made her way towards the hanger again and walked in just in time to see Niko speak.
His death was like a knife to her. The blood splattered everywhere. It coated the floor and ran in streams towards a floor drain.
She fell then to her knees. The weight was to much and she knelt. Another spasm of coughing overcame her. Worse than before she knew it was more than a simple cold.
"He... he was fine. He shouldn't" again she coughed. It forced her to hold onto the wall and steady herself. "shouldn't have died. I.. I should have. I should have done more." Tears began to run and when she pulled her hand from her mouth there was blood on her palm.
"Victor."
