Alice did not like this at all.The girl was starting to have trouble breathing, did her lung inflate or did water got in? If it was water, Alice could perhaps suck it out, but she could not do much with inflated lung. Alice took her medical scanner and gave it a go, hoping it will tell her what was wrong.
The scanner showed that the injured long had collapsed probably due to fluid build up. She needed to insert an IV tube into the lung and then seal the wound around it, then create suction that would drain the bodily fluids from the lung and allow it to work properly.
"Darn it, she has a liquid in her lung," Alice said out lout and digged into her medical bag. "Sakura I need your help, you need to hold the medical scanner for me. I will need to work with it when I cut and insert a tube. I need to suck it out." She said, looking at the girl and taking her helmet off. She then took a scalpel and cut the woman clothing and bandage to get to the wound.
"Helen is Bella Nepleslian, Minkan or maybe Geshrin? I need to know if I can use hemosynth with her or not." Alice asked as she worked.
Sakura gave a nod and held the scanner firmly as Alice had instructed.
Kage continued his watch as usual and made sure that things were okay. He was still worried about the creatures that he had scared off. "Kenshi, how much longer do you think this is going to take?" He asked with a nervous voice. He wasn't sure but he felt like those creatures that he had scared off were getting closer and had greater numbers.
Helen looked at Alice, "She is a Nepleslian, most of this team is. Most of us never saw the need to switch to the other bodies. After this mission, I might reconsider that decision." She said.
Kenshin sent a message to Raquel to run a life form scan and to relay the data to him. As he approached Kage his communicator chirped. He took a look at the data.
"Kage, there are currently two groups of those ursines. He showed him the sensor data. "Raquel can keep you updated as to their position. "Can't say how long it will take because we can't transport the injured until Alice says we can."
Alice heard the chatter in the radio. "I have women with liquid in her lung, we cannot move. Just give Satoshi gun or something." Alice said and returned her attention to the woman. "Hold it steady Sakura-chan." She added and smiled at the brave girl. Alice cut a little into the wound, and immediately a little blood came out. Alice wiped it out and started inserting the IV tube inside. Alice could really only go by them edical scanner, and the fact she was treating a woman did not help as her breasts was simply in a way. "Sakura or Helen, please push her breast aside so I have more room."
Helen reached over and did as Alice requested. "Bella, you stay with us dear, you don't want me to have to fill out all that paperwork now do you."
Kenshin stood nearby with their Android to transport as soon as Alice had the woman stabilized.
Meanwhile Kage was receiving information that the two groups of ursines were on the move. One of them seemed headed towards the group.
Alice took a deep breath and started inserting the tube in the wound. "Here we go," she said as she was watching the scanner, making sure the tube goes in right way. "This is going to suck," she then added and took of her helmet, putting it aside on the table. She then proceeded to suck the fluid in any way she could. In her mouth and then spit it out.
Satoshi watched Alice work, this was not a procedure in his database, so he was watching and learning, he made a note to request an update to include emergency medical procedures.
After a minute or so, Alice had removed enough fluid for the lung to inflate properly on the next inhale. A sucking sound could be heard coming from the tube. With each subsequent breath Bella's vital signs showed improvement.
Alice wiped her mouth and spitted around for a bit. She never tasted anything so bad before, but it needed to be done. The girl forced herself not to throw up and looked at others as she started to seal the would again. "Okay you can take her to the Spark. But be very very gentle." She said and looked at Helen. "What about the people under the water in that alien ship? Got anyway to contact them? Any injuries you know about?"
"We'll carry her like she was made of egg shells." Kenshin said, with Satoshi helping they got the patient onto the gurney and started making their way to the Spark.
Helen looked at Alice. "We had a cable connection. The hull of the derelick they were exploring made radios pretty much useless. I'm sure the cable is still out there, but the gear in here is smashed obviously. Plus the folks would be trapped most likely. We attached an air tight door so we could keep stuff out. But it opens outward, and is manual. It is probably under water, so they probably can not open it even if they wanted do the the weight of the water."
Alice nodded, that was a viable way of communication. Unless the cable got cut. "Okay where is the cable?" Alice asked the woman. "We could get it to our ship and try to get in touch with the people in the ship. But first let's get you there and warmed up before you get hypothermia."
Helen "Sounds like a good idea to me. We can carry the last one so we can get out of the water quicker." With a wave of her hand, the other Scientists lifted the other injured by forming a chair with their interlocked arms. Once they cleared the doorway, Helen let the other move forward and she went to the side of the module. She dipped under the water for a moment and came up with the cable. "Well I guess I just had my bath." she said to Alice. "Here is the cable, standard data configuration. So you should be able to connect to the external port on your craft." she handed the cable to Alice and moved forward.
Once the scientists reached the Tenba Kenshin and Satoshi helped them to get inside. Satoshi quickly went in to start tending to the damp and chilled serving hot beverages and blankets.
Kenshin surveyed the area as he waited for Kage and the others. "Better hustle looks like some of those creatures are coming back." He yelled to them.
Alice packed her medical back again as the scientist were taking other wounded outside. She then accepted the cable from Helen with a nod. Dragging the cable carefully after her she followed the group. There she found kenshin.
"Hey, this cable here should make us able to talk with scientists trapped inside the alien ship." She told him, handing him the cable. "Yer the engineer you know what to do with it. I will help Kage hold guard meanwhile." She said, handing the medical back to someone in the ship while she took her rifle and went to Kage.
Kenshin looked at the cable, it was pretty standard communications cabling, the kind for wiring intercoms and the like. He opened a panel in the Sparks airlock and worked on connecting it. After double checking the connection he activated the channel.
Across the speakers the sound of people speaking could be heard.
"Expedition members, this is Kenshin of the SSS Transporter SPARK. We are here to assist. What is you status?" he said into the intercom.
"Glad to hear a voice. There are eight of us together. We are okay the door is keeping the water out, but we can not open it. There is too much water. Also one of our members was outside we can raise him on the comms."
There were two of the Ursines approaching the damaged module one of them was 'stalking' Kage.
