When Nei finally stopped ranting like a crazed being, she'd simply relaxed, letting herself calm down. Thankfully, the outburst had assisted in keeping her focused, and soon the Nautolan began to attempt movement.

As she slowly sat up her shoulder sent needles of pain through her, resulting in a loud yelp and a string of curses. Gritting her teeth, though, Nei made an attempt to ignore the pain, gripping something metal to hoist herself up.

Now on her feet, she took a look around. Junk, survivors, medics...ah-Hah! Two redheaded women, one of whom Nei recognized. Holding a hand over her side, she made her way over to Asteria, bending down to grab her bag (which was along her path and had miraculously stayed shut). Swallowing another outburst in response to her rib, the Nautolan carried on before stopping a couple feet away from the two.

"Oi, lady," Nei said gruffly, looking at Asteria. This was her attempt at a greeting between acquaintances. "Enjoy the ride?"

Asteria looked up to see a familiar face. "Hey there, Nei," She noticed Nei's hand was holding her side, "I see I'm not the only one who probably broke something, let's get that looked at." She took out some bandages and her precious Ethalos leaf extract vial from her bag, and had [member="Nei Laa"] sit down.

She felt the rib, "Yep, your lucky. Only one rib broken, no punctures, no internal bleeding, but it's going to hurt like you got stabbed until I can get this bandaged up. Your shoulder just got banged up a lot, but nothing a little ointment and time can fix." She moved around, skillfully pouring the precious extract onto two bandages and wrapped the bigger of the two onto the ribcage area and the smaller on to the arm just below the shoulder.

"There, that should do it, but until the extract is starting to heal you, which won't be for a minute or two, you have to stay there and relax, or it won't be able to get all the way to the injuries." She patted Nei on her good shoulder, with her good hand and smiled, "You'll be just fine."

Seriously?

Really?

"How did they mess up that badly then. . . ."

Grumbling to herself, Alva yanked hard on the controls to turn her fighter around and make the return trip to the Nike where Aurna was still on board. This was all such a bother, but at the very least she got to return to the other woman's side instead of separating. Plus it was nice to get the warning before her N-1 Starfighter that her girlfriend had given to her as a gift had been fried and wrecked in the same mess that Ice and his ship had gotten into. It was with a sigh though she opened up the channel to the Nike and called Aurna to open the hanger doors again so she could enter the ship again. Such a wasted trip. Aurna had sent her out worried for the others and it was just a waste of time because the others had somehow messed up coming in system, brilliant.

Nei sat down as Asteria began to inspect her wounds; unlike most fighters, the Nautolan wasn't afraid to visit the infirmary or seek medical help if she needed. The female removed some of the upper part of her armour to allow Asteria a better look at her wounds.

She let out a hiss of pain as the other woman began to feel her rib area. Like she was stabbed? With the inspection it began to feel more like a crazy Sithspawn was punching her using a Mandalorian helmet as a boxing glove. With spikes. Well, maybe that was akin to being stabbed. But still! "Always broken rib," Nei said through gritted teeth. "Must have broke it more'n a dozen times already."

The Nautolan fell silent when the ointment was being applied. Once Asteria finished, Nei gave her a nod of gratitude and began to put her armour back on. "Relax? That be foreign concept," she said, wincing slightly as she had to twist a bit. "Can't relax when you be me. Then you be killed."

Cryax gingerly took a hold of Keira's arm and gently stretched it above her head. When the shoulder didn't pop back into place, he frowned. "Sorry, Keira, this might hurt a bit," he warned, and rotated her hand behind her head, pushing her hand towards the opposite shoulder. The result was successful, but painful, as her shoulder popped back into its socket. "There you go," he smiled. "It should ache for a while, but at least you won't be lopsided." He put his finger up in a "one moment" gesture and hurried over to a team of repair droid, quickly giving the orders for them to start repairing the ship's central computer.

Cryax then returned to Keira and smiled at her joke. "Yes, ma'am," said the Chiss, and allowing her to hook her arm through his, they walked to the loading dock. As they arrived, they saw Ice waiting for a team who was ready and able to leave the ship.

With the repair droids now busy doing the work that he himself didn't have to do, he hoped that Ice wouldn't mind if he tagged along during their expedition. A scavenger in his former life before the Red Ravens, he figured he'd be an invaluable resource in that respect. Plus, if there was any ancient technology that needed tinkering with, you couldn't do worse than the Chiss slicer.

[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]Ice saw Cryax and Keira were the first to arrive, and it put a smile on his face to see they had made it through the ordeal unscathed enough to still be fit for duty. But considering how long it was taking for others to arrive, he was growing more and more concerned for the welfare of everyone else. Looking at the Chiss again though, his mind started to wonder. Was he wanting to go on the exploring aspect? The idea surprised him considering the shape of the ship systems. He supposed their was his normal crew that could manage the repairs, but still surprising.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]"Welcome to Engima Prime." He said flatly considering what they had just been through to get there. "Glad to see you two are ok. Cryax, how are the ship systems looking? Are we going to be able to fly away from this? Or is the ship pretty much a lost cause?" He really hoped the vessel was salvageable. It wasn't a great warship or prized vessel. But it had served him well for many years, and he had grown quite attached to it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]Back in Orbit[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]Once Alva has rejoined Aurna aboard her ship, the asteroid mining vessel set about its work. Workers in EVA suits began to securely fasten many cables around the vessel to ensure it wouldn't fall away as they lowered them through the atmosphere. The work itself was relatively easy for the trained crew. The only thing they found to be odd, was they were normally doing this to massive chunks of earth to be hoisted up from the surface. Not usually to ships to be lowered down to the surface. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]It would take the crew a few hours before they were confident that the vessel. In the meantime all they could do was wait and hope the crew on the surface were fairing better than it must have looked.[/SIZE]

Asteria set a firm hand on Nei's good shoulder, "You're not going anywhere until that medicine starts kicking in, okay? No one will hurt you on my watch, Nei." A few minutes later Asteria came back up to Nei, her arm wrapped up and in a sling, and checked her shoulder, "Okay, now you can move around, bit take it easy. I don't want you to have to sit down again, and I bet you don't either."

If anyone had assumed Keira to be the gentler of the three Ticon siblings given the fact that she was the youngest sister, that presumption was gone with the wind at the string of expletives that found their way past her lips as her shoulder was popped back into place. There were definitely worse pains, but considering the rough landing they had already suffered, this didn't make any of her bruises feel any better. Still she smiled gratefully, probing the area once more and finding that although it still wasn't up to par, it definitely felt better than it had still being dislocated. "I fixed your nose, you fixed my shoulder. That makes it about even, yeah?" Another grin followed the teasing inquiry.

Ice's comment earned a shrug and a smile from her, though it faded to a grimace at the faint throbbing complaint from her shoulder. Noted, she'd have to be careful with her range of motion. Thankfully she was left-handed, but that was proof that she took for granted what she was able to do with her right. That would only serve to make the rest of the trip more interesting. "Any landing that I can walk away from is one that I can't complain about too much. I think everyone's more or less okay, from what I can sense, but it beats me as to why they haven't regrouped yet." A faint frown lit on her lips. "Not the best start to what was supposed to be a relatively carefree mission, but it's better than nothing." From what she'd witnessed there were none injured past the point of medical assistance, or so she could hope.

Almost subconsciously she brought her hand up to rub her shoulder again, frowning thoughtfully and glancing around. She wasn't an expert when it came to the technological side of things by any means, but something told her that they wouldn't be flying away from Enigma Prime without extensive repairs. Nothing was to say it was impossible, but it wasn't going to be a fast process, by her measure of things.

"If you need people to do reconnaissance around outside, I might as well volunteer. Until everyone else gets on their feet I don't think we'll have too much need of security, and I'd like to get an idea of where exactly we landed. I could do a head count while I'm out there, if that helps any." It wasn't that she didn't enjoy their company, but sitting around while there was work to be done, or at the very least exploring, wasn't her strong suit. More so when she knew that any help she could offer would only better their situation, but that might have just been her. Regardless, she put the offer out there, before adding with a glance to Cryax, "And if he wants to come too, I could use the company. It's always more fun to explore things with more people."

"No stay here please, I won't have you out there, I know the type, the moment I let you free you will injure yourself again. I must order bed rest for at least a couple weeks, I won't have you out their braving this world with a broken rib. Nothing is that important. " She sighed this crew was going to try her patience. "Asteria, what did you do to your arm? If it is minor enough I might be able to speed up the healing of it. I am no expert but I know a bit of force healing." She smiled and looked at the two women, hoping they weren't going to try and hurt themselves again, she was fine with them being at risk but no sense putting one self to injure oneself further when they were already injured.

She looked at the medic with a smirk, "Possibly a minor break or a bad twisted elbow. Whatever it is, it hurts like Fredge. Anything helps." She was a bit nervous about the Force part, but if she was going to be useful, she needed both arms for this mission.
