Ian kept on pressing, frowning at the feeling of solid bone giving way under his fingers. He held her arm up with the clutching hand, and used the one holding her wrist to grab the hand she had placed over his leg. "Autumn, what hit you?" He asked, a rare tone of concern apparent in his voice. "Did that Red armor do this to you?"
"Aaaah," Autumn moaned softly again as her body slightly rocked agaist Ian. "Y..yeah. I think...aaahh...the impact of that...c..claw.." She licked her lips for a moment as she tried to calm her breathing down so she could answer, "shattered it and.. leaving the arm destabilized it."
Fuck, that thing did this through a Warhawk? Ian stopped his agitation of the injured area and moved his hand down her arm, to the upper forearm before beginning again, hoping to find that that portion of her arm was in better condition. "You have two options. They can do surgery to reset the bone, or they can take it off and replace it." He spoke lightly.
The fragmentation of her forearm was less but still rather severe. The grating of the bone sent chills up her spine and she moaned softly again. She took another couple of deep breaths before she responded, "T..taking it off and replacing it would mean less downtime and... would be faster. Y..you have no idea just how turned on I am right now," Autumn dropped the tone of her voice a touch at the last statement. Her cheeks were lightly flushed, so it left one to wonder if she was embarassed or if it was the pain doing it.
Ian smiled and leaned back against the wall. He let his hand end its molestation of the shattered bone, and slid it down to take her hand. "We'll do that then." He continued to look down at the pained armorer. If she was paying attention, she would probably notice he that he mirrored her own sentiments about readiness for certain activities. He said nothing of it, though. "Want to head for the medbay? They might start dragging the corpses from the planet there soon."
Autumn despite whatever pain she was in, smiled brightly. "I... think we could do that. Hold that thought hopefully, we can explore it soon," she lightly bit her lower lip for a moment but made no attempt to remove herself form Ian's lap as she laid her head against his chest again as she looked up at him.
Ian quickly began to stand, slipping his arm under Autumn's legs, grinning down at her, his usual cocky expression back in place. "Without a doubt." The Cadet reached his full height, and sighed. "Quite a day. We go blow up an entire enemy installation, you get your arm broken, and now for surgery."
"To think, I thought the Marine Corps would be better for my health," Autumn chuckled softly, her left arm shifted slightly with a light crunching noise. She frowned slightly for a moment and tried not to shrug.
Ian stepped from behind the corner, his human cargo held tightly to his chest. "Alright, big line of marines. This might be a little uncomfortable." He strode forward quickly, right into the crowd. And then quickly began to push and kick every non-critically wounded marine in line. "Move it, fuckers! Someone's goddamn hurt here!" He yelled at them. When one man began to protest, the cadet snarled violently. "Move!"
Kokuten had been tending another dead Marine, withdrawing his spider, when he started to hear the ruckus Ian was causing. Oh, damn... He thought as he turned around, allowing the spider he had pulled out to rest on the dead marine's nose.
Autumn lightly winced as she was manuevered through the crowd of other wounded marines. She was starting to feel a litte light headed again. "Ooh.." she muttered softly as she lightly touched her temple with her right hand.
"Hey! Where's the fucking medic?" Ian shouted over the din of the medbay. He lifted Autumn slightly to display her to any who happened to fit the role of a healer.
Kokuten squinted at the Cadet for a moment, and then recognized the patient he was holding. "What the hell...? She was supposed to be in here long ago!" Kokuten said, moving from his position at the table to Ian. He cringed as he looked over her arm, and then up at the Cadet. "Put her on one of the tables while I clear this Marine up over her, then we'll get some painkillers in her, and then we'll have a closer look at that arm."
Ian quickly complied, walking to a table and dropping most of Autumn. He was, however, careful enough to not let her head hit the table. "Right." He scanned the large, white room, noting the position of the sizable medicine cabinets for later 'appropriations', should he have the inclination.
The movement made Autumn's head spin. "Painkill...ers?" Her legs clanked against the table as they made contact. "Oooh... spinning room..." She looked up at the ceiling for a moment, blinking excessively before closed her eyes.
Kokuten moved quickly back over to the Marine he was working on, and scooped up the spider from the man's nose. He moved over to one of the flash-cloning structures and placed the spider in the slot. He then moved over to one of the cabinets, and pulled out a small injection gun. In another cabinent he drew out a small vial, then attached that vial to the back of the injection gun. He moved back over to Autumn, and gently placed one hand on her shoulder, while placing the injection gun on her arm. With a pull of the trigger, the needle shot out, injected her with the painkiller, and then retreated back into the gun.
"NAM Medtech, standard issue." Kokuten answered, and then looked up at Ian. "And while we're asking questions, where is Rico Sanroma? I believe I called on him to take Autumn Wilde to here." Kokuten's eyes looked up to Ian's eyes.
Autumn moaned softly again as she felt the needle in her arm. "Aww, you didn't have to..." She opened her deep green eyes and looked up at Kokuten curiously, "Ooh, your twin is cute!" Her vision was still spinning. "Can you make the room stop spinning?"
Ian cracked up at Autumn's less-than-sober observations. He laughed for about fifteen seconds, and then grinned at Kokuten. "I persuaded Rico to pass her over to me. Anyway, how we going to do this?" The Cadet looked around for a moment, and then reached for a large scalpel, and held it up. "She said she wanted a new arm, seeing how this one's pretty well shot."
"Hrm..." Kokuten put a hand on his chin, and arched a brow at Autumn. "I can fit her for a quick prosthetic arm, it won't be her size though..." The Medic moved over to the cabinent again and attached a new vial to the injector. He went back over to Autumn and injected her in the same fashion as before. "That should help with my twin and the spinning room." He smiled at her for a moment before pulling out a small band from under the table.
"Tell me..." He said, measuring Autumn's right arm with the band, "How long has the arm been broken?"
"It's kinda hot in here.. should I take off my clothes?" The armorer asked groggily.
"A while, few hours? it was a big vibrator thingy on the Demon's hand... almost breeched my armor too. He ran away though," Autumn commented with a frown as she stared up at Kokuten with slightly unfocused eyes.
"Oh da-..." Kokuten stopped himself for a moment before looking at Ian with a bit of worried concern. "Alright, give me a moment." The Medical Officer told Autumn before moving to another cabinent. It revealed a series of plasticy, prosthetic arms. He picked out one similar to Autumn's arm size, then returned to the broken-armed woman. "Alright, we'll need to amputate the arm. McCain, in the cabinent where I've been drawing the vials for the injector, there's a blue vial marked 'Knockout'. Retrieve that vial and bring it to me. Suku! Surgical blades, and an IV!" The Medic ordered.
"Aww! I don't wanna sleep!" Autumn whined with a pout. "That's just no fun at all.No roofies on the first date, at least naked firsttt..." She watched the medics move around from her limited vantage point.
"You got it, shorty." Ian strode to the cabinet and opened it. He picked up the blue container, and held it up, as though examining it. In truth, he was appropriating two vials of painkillers, and quickly stuffing them in his pocket. He turned back, heading for the table, and taking the same spot across from Kokuten as before. He outstretched his arm with the vial to the medic, and then smiled down at Autumn. "I'll see you later, Autumn. We still got that date."
"Oh, good you didn't mix it up with the other blue vial marked 'Phenolphthalein' like the last marine did..." Kokuten added, shivering slightly, while taking the vial and inserting it into the injection gun.
Autumn continued to pout up at Ian."Okay... just a short nap then.." She looked over at Kokuten still pouting, "Stabby with the injectioness? How long is my nap? Do I get cake afterwards?"
Kokuten gave her a warm smile, "Your nap should take no less than ten minutes and if the mess hall will allow you to raid their cabinents, then yes, you will get cake." He inserted the injector with the 'Knockout' vial attached.
"'Kay! Have some with me.." Autumn responded cheerfully as she closed her eyes, finding inspecting them more interesting at the moment. She breathing was fairly steadily as she slipped off into her drugged sleep.
First thing was first, Kokuten had to remove her shirt. The Medic looked down at the injured and sleeping woman and then reached down to her waist. Kokuten would've never been able to tell whether Autumns skin was a silky smooth or slender toughness, his finger tips lacked feeling. None the less, the Medic was very red as he lifted the woman's shirt. He stopped when he reached above her chest, careful not to accidentally grope anything. He then pulled her sleeves out and then fully removed Autumn's shirt. By now, Kokuten's face was a firm red, mostly by embarrassment.
Kokuten then instantly got to work after Suku attached Autumn to her IV, and after Suku commented on 'How much of a baby he was'. The Medic began cutting away the arm, and after a long and cautious session of cutting and cleaning, he tossed the woman's old arm with the rest of the marine bodies. With that he began to reattach her new arm, slowly, but carefully. The plastic prosthetic came rigged up to her arm. It was slightly bigger than her other arm, but it would have to do until they got her a real one. So, after twelve minutes of quick, yet careful work. Kokuten had sewn Autumn a new arm.
Suku had already left a waking stimulant near-by that would rouse Autumn from her slumber. He stuck the waking stimulant into her arm, and then waited for the effects to energize and awake her.
"Mmm..." Autumn slowly stirred as the stimulants kicked in. She felt a little hung over as her eyes fluttered open. "Is it snack time, already?"
Kokuten cleared his throat, averting his eyes, "Er hrm... Yes, the operation was a success. I suggest you do a few moments with arm before really trying to handle anything with it. The body sometimes have trouble adapting to new cybernetics."
"If you're up to it," Ian chimed in. He had stood against the wall, watching the surgery. He pushed off and walked over to her, looking at the newly-added appendage. "Nice job, shorty." He smiled down at Autumn. "How're you feeling?"
Autumn sat up, pushing herself up with her right arm. She stared down at her new temporary left hand and slowly tried to flex it, seemingly unphased by her lack of clothing. A crosshatching of old scars criss-crossed her entire back. "I think I'll be okay, I adjusted to my other ones fairly quickly... but legs aren't as.. detailed as fingers, I guess." she watched her fingers very slowly wiggle.
"I wouldn't do anything too rigorous for awhile, the operation, with the mix of stimulants and depressants in your system may cause some unruly side effects." Kokuten noted, his eyes still facing to the side.
Ian frowned slightly at Kokutens announcement, but didn't comment. He did however, hold Autumn's shirt out to the topless girl. "Want it?"
"Define rigourous?"Autumn looked up at Kokuten curiously for a moment, looking at Ian with a soft reassuring smile for a moment, befre she nodded. "I probably should, I think I'm making the Sergeant uncomfortable." She reached out with her new left hand to take the shirt.
Ian passed it off and took a seat next to her on the operating table, avoiding some of the blood that had accumulated.
"No roughhousing, heavy labor, hard sexual activity. I recommend staying at a lifting limit of at the most 50 lb. before the day's end." Kokuten said, eye's still averted.
Autumn continued to smile as she pulled her shirt carefully on over her head and arms. She awkwardly pulled it down to cover her exposed torso and tucked it into her pants before she rebuckled her belt. "Define hard sexual activity?" She asked again, in a fairly casual tone. "Safe to look again."
One of Kokuten's eyes turned to Autumn's direction and then with that confirmation, he faced her. "Well... I believe it would be best for you medical condition... If you were, say, in any position that wouldn't exert too much force on you."
"Hmm. any examples for me, sergeant?" Autumn pursed her lips together thoughtfully as she appraised Kokuten's face. "What would be the adverse side effects, exactly?" She pushed her hair back behind her ears and then, placed her hands on either side of her on the table, one of them lightly brushed up against one of Ian's.
Kokuten was clearly uncomfortable, but not so much so that he wouldn't answer. "Say, like, being on top." He tried to give an example, but couldn't remember the side effects, as he was still trying to take his mind off her chest.
"I guess, I'll have to take it into consideration then when I plan the rest of my evening. When do you want me back for a full examination aside from if.. anything wierd happens to me as a result of the meds?" Autumn licked her lips idly, her mouth felt dry and she was feeling like her blood sugar was crashing. She swayed for a moment. "Ooh, I definately need that snack, I feel a little light headed.."
Ian held out his hand. "To the cafe, then?" He asked. He stayed seated on the table, waiting.
"Sure, so long as I'm cleared to go." Autumn carefully took Ian's offered hand and gently tried to ease herself off the table and... promptly fell down. She felt dizzy again. "Ugh.."
"Woah there," Ian exclaimed as Autumn fell back. "Need me to carry you around some more?" He smirked as he spoke, now standing, with her hand still in his own.
"At least, until can get my blood sugar up? Do you think some sugar might help my post-surgery recovery, Sergeant Chiaki?" Autumn asked as she carefully pulled herself back into a standing position, using Ian for balance.
"Hrm, the stimulant should be coming on soon enough to give you the energy you need to move around on your own. The sugar might help as well, I'll recommend it." Kokuten adding in, smiling as he did so. He looked around for Suku. "Suku, we-... Suku?" He looked around some more, Suku didn't seem to be in sight. "She must've slipped off during the operation." Kokuten assumed, his back to the two of them.
"I promise to come back if I have a lapse of memory," Autumn smiled brightly as she nodded to Ian. "I guess, I'm all set to go then."
