Soft Boi
Location: Mandalore
The battle of the Graug was to be a long and arduous task for the Mandalorians who sought to reclaim their home and return it to glory rather than allowing it to remain as a shell of its former self. They were outnumbered by the Graug by billions but the Mandalorians had technology and intelligence on their side, two very powerful weapons, but as long as the Graug resided on their home planet, there could never be peace on Mandalore.
As if the intrusive presence on their planet and the Sith’s destruction wasn’t enough, the Graug’s endeavours in mining had triggered quakes on Mandalore. Cities that were taking the first steps of recovery were once again on their knees as they fought to stand strong against the violent quakes but after all Mandalorians had experienced, they remained steadfast. Few cities that had survived the initial Sith purge lay desolate and ruined but the determination and spirit of a Mandalorian was not one that could easily be broken.
However, many of them were still after all - humanoid. They were not impervious to 'natural' disasters and were largely underprepared for such an unexpected catastrophe. They had not yet restructured their planet and lacked the capacity to treat an sudden influx of wounded - especially when some hospitals had been destroyed.
Given their difficult situation, a message would be sent to the Silver Jedi Concord, informing them of the situation on Mandalore so they could at least ensure they were protected should one of their neighbouring hostiles find out about the situation and take advantage of it. They were reluctant to rely on the Jedi, many too proud to do so, but they shared a common enemy and for that they were as good as friends. The desire of vengeance against the Sith Empire trumped the arrogance of some of those too proud to accept help from the Jedi.
Now with the combination of the Graug battles and quakes, Mandalore was facing a humanitarian crisis. Many locations had been hit by the quakes but effort was concentrated on the worst hit places such as the city of Ronion - one of the few cities that had survived Imperial bombardment and had once again been beginning to bloom to life. Thankfully, the city had nowhere near its original population prior to Imperial occupation but there were still souls within the city who required medical and humanitarian aid and with the dire situation the Mandalorian people found themselves in: every Mandalorian counted.
Across the planet, Mandalorians focused on rescue missions as they searched among the rubble of former great structures in search of their comrades who were trapped within. One such city, near the Graug border, was dealing with casualties from both the quakes and the Graug attacks. The scenes there were slowly descending into chaos as the number of wounded began to mount up and threatened to outnumber the medical personnel. Those with no medical training were being advised on how to perform medical treatments on their allies in order to relieve the pressure on medics and doctors.
They reached the injured man who lay listless on the floor. He had shown signs of life earlier but now it seemed hope was fading. Who knew what untold internal injuries he might have had. Ki'an removed the other's helmet to reveal the battered face inside who let out a quiet moan at the discomfort of being moved. "Can you open your eyes for me?" Ki'an asked and the man complied but quickly shut them again when the flashlight from the third Mandalorian's helmet caught his eye. "Ah, um... sorry." He replied before moving it out of the man's face to allow him to open his eyes again.
"My... leg." The man complained, weakly gesturing to his left leg which was soaked with blood on his thigh. In order to prevent him from bleeding out before they had the opportunity to get further help, Ki'an applied a tourniquet to the man's thigh and injected a substance into his lower thigh to slow down the flow of blood. He then drew another small bottle from a pocket and filled the syringe with an analgesic to allow the journey out of the building to be a little smoother for the injured Mandalorian.
Once he had completed the steps to ensure the man made it out of the building alive, now the task was to actually pull through on their intentions. The metal above them gave a long creak before there was a loud crashing sound as one of the metal beams from above came tumbling down. The accompanying Mandalorian was quick to react and when Ki'an looked back he saw his ally with his arms above his head, holding the metal beam which would have otherwise crushed him and caused untold other destruction.
"Go, go!" He shouted, clearly straining under the weight of the beam. Ki'an didn't waste any time in grabbing the injured Mandalorian by the hand and dragging him quickly towards the way they had come from. Once at the entrance of the rubble, three pairs of hands helped to pull the injured man out and rested him on a stretcher. The medic turned back to the with a look of concern. If the beam the other Mandalorian was supporting was holding together other weak points in the building then he wasn't sure what chance the man stood. But if he could get out from under the beam unscathed then he might stand a chance at escaping.
He watched the entrance, hoping for the latter, knowing there was nothing that could otherwise be done. A few moments later, there was the sound of an almighty crash as the groaning building crumbled in on itself. Still, there was hope. Their injured man had survived the building collapse. It could be done again. ::Vix, do you read me?:: He opened the comms with his accompanying Mandalorian but was met with the sound of static.
