Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

[Akirapryde]

(OOC: it is my sad duty to report that our party leader has bowed out of the game due to increasing commitments. I will play his character till the end of this scene where his character will be removed from active game play till his commitments allow him some more free time. There is no guarantee of his return, just my hoping.)

Thorchan growled as he looked in to Major Tetsuhara’s eyes as his face went red, “you damn Drac!” He picked up the broken pieces of the cigar. “This was a Woodstock!” Thorchan snarled, “Do you know how hard it is to get a cigar of this quality!” Thorchan choked.

Major Tetsuhara’s eyes narrowed as he opened his mouth to speak. However, Thorchan’s choking interrupted any statement that Major Tetsuhara was going to say. The doctor pushed Major Tetsuhara out of the way as the younger nurse rushed to the doctor’s side. Thorchan head hit the pillow hard as his body started to shake. The doctor barked something in Japanese at Major Tetsuhara.

The military guards pulled back at Thorchan continued to convulse. The doctor called for different medication. The younger nurse and doctor worked like a well-oiled machine as they fought to save Thorchan’s life. Within second’s the machines echoed the single tone that alerted everyone of how desperate the situation was becoming. However, the doctor was not giving up on Thorchan.

Beyond the scene around Thorchan’s bed, a keen observe could noticed that Major Tetsuhara and the female Kuritain officer were summoned to the doorway. While they had positioned themselves out of direct line of sight. Using a highly polished stainless steel towel dispenser, the keen observer could see the two being dressed down by a slim figure in a cloak. It was clear the situation in the medical bay was the reason for the culvert conversation. At the height of the conversation, the figure turned to leave dismissing the pair with a wave of its hand.

After a breathless series of short battles, the doctor finally announced victory in English. “He has laps back in to a coma. Your friend will survive. However, once we are planet side he will need to be transferred to a full medical facility.”

Major Tetsuhara walked back in alone and motioned for the guards to leave the medical bay. With them, the older nurse left as well. Major Tetsuhara spoke to the doctor in Japanese for a moment before turning to Jake, “Lieutenant Straker” he said in a commanding voice. “We will continue your questioning in due time” Major Tatsuhara said lying. It clear to the keen observer that Major Tetsuhara didn’t like the idea that the questioning was being ended so soon. On that note, the entire group left the room. The party was left alone in the medical bay.
