Adrian, however, wasn't gone. In fact, he was standing right outside with Fay. As Amelia passed right into the medbay, Adrian looked in after her, catching her little drug hunt. "Looks like someone's pill-hunting. Let's go, newbie," he said, motioning to Fay. The medic entered the bay after Amelia, and recognized her as the same reasonably uptight marine who he'd just met in the barracks.

"You didn't strike me as much of a pill-popper, marine," Adrian said, smirking.
 
Amelia turned and stared at Adrian. She took several steps towards him with a slightly panicked look on her face. "Do... you have..." She squeezed her eyes shut and placed a hand against her head. "Do you have any anti-psychotics or the like? My perscription is out..." She shook her head. "I am not... a pill-popper..." She realized this now would probably mean that everyone would find out about her psychological background.

Then again, maybe it was that sort of thing that was valued in the army.
 
Adrian cocked an eyebrow. "Anti-psychotics? Like psychotropics? What for?" He thought for a moment. He knew they did have some in the back, but wasn't sure exactly what kinds, or what the wrong kind might do to her. Brains were a tricky area, after all.
 
'Ha...ha...hahahaha... Just give it up, dear.'

"NO!!"

She clutched at her head, trying very heard to block out her thoughts. She began uttering words, symptoms and whatnot. "Voices.. personalities...dementia... homocidal...ugh..." She backed up against a wall. She -knew- this wasn't looking very good. She could very well be dooming her job before she even started. 'All that training for nothing... no... get it together damnit..' She took a deep breath and sighed. "Split personality disorder and dementia. That's what it was for."
 
Once Rose had her things away, she jerked her head towards the hatch. "Haven't had anything since before we did your hair actually." She didn't want to lash out at Autumn, so instead the Medic leaned against the bulkhead and waited to see if they'd come too.

Nono...no more talking. They can talk, talk all they want. Can I do this again?
 
Fay watched Amelia go pill searching right after the medbay had finished its cleaning cycle. It was a lot cleaner now, but the poor marine had made a little mess by herself, it seemed. The medic sighed before taking a pen-light out of his medical bag.

Using it to look into each of Amelia's eyes, he asked calmly, "Do you have the prescription bottle? We might be able to find the same, if maybe only a different brand, stuff for you. Are there halucinations, or just voices? Does it feel like the inside of your head is about to implode, or explode?"

Fay had a serene smile on his face to try to calm her down. If he could get her to maintain focus, then the less stressful all of this will be for everyone. The younger medic seemed to be ignoring Adrian at this moment.
 
"Oi, oi, cool down, Amelia. Everything's going to be fine." Adrian walked past the young woman to the sizable drug store in the room. "Listen, I need to know the specific drug you've been taking for this so far. Was it Lithium Carbonate? Quetiapine?"
 
Kagura thought about it for a little bit and shifted to get off her bunk and nodded to Autumn. "That sounds good, I could use something to eat." She said and glanced over to Rose. "You want to join us Rose? You're welcome to."
 
Harrison checked the hangar for his FIRE1, but didn't find one. He did, however, find an un-occupied suit that was also un-painted.

"DIBS!" He yelled and slapped a hand on a mechanical thigh, then set about repainting it EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE HE HAD BEFORE. After a while, he had finished painting it to satisfaction, including his kill tally, so he stepped down off of the suit's bended knee and walked back out into the hallway, wandering for a while.

Eventually he ended up near the med-bay, where he saw Adrian, that Fay guy from the briefing room, and a new person.

"Hello, rookie. New here?" Harrison said, kind of drifting into the group.
 
"..."

Amelia hurried out of the room without answering Fay's questions for the moment. After a few quiet moments, she returned with her empty perscription bottle and held it out to Adrian. She then turned to Fay.

"Just Alice... I don't see her... and neither... I just don't want to give control to her... She is cruel... loves to kill... make others suffer... it's not me..." It seemed that she had already given her voice a name. She didn't seem as frantic but still had that expression of a woman fighting her own thoughts.

She looked up as Harrison entered the room. She didn't answer for a moment, but then simply nodded.
 
Adrian quickly snagged the container from Amelia. He looked over the labels for a moment. "Alright, so, dopamine blocker. We don't have this brand, though..."

He turned around and headed for the medicine cabinets. He pulled open one and looked around. "Maybe Clozapine," he said, pulling out a small purple bottle. He shook it once and popped it open, pouring two capsules into his hand. He walked to the woman and held it out to her.

"Take these. I can get you some water, if you'd like."
 
She took the pills from his hand almost immedeately, swallowing them quickly. Apparently she didn't need water.

'... ... ...Bitch.'

'Oh shut up and be quiet already, Alice...'

She sighed and stayed up against the wall for a few moments before she seemed to calm down. She stood up straight again, having regained her composure. She looked at Adrian. "Thank you. I will have to get a refill before too long." She looked around the room at the two men she didn't recognize. "And you are...?"
 
"I'm in." Rose nodded, and walked into the hall. She waited there for Kagura and Autumn, hoping there wouldn't be trouble getting something to eat.

I can probably get something down now. The Marine thought, hoping their deployment would have enough opportunity for her to vent the frustrations leave had left lingering.
 
Fay shrugged while turning off and putting away his penlight. After Adrian supplied her with the medication, Fay answered her question, "I'm P3C Fay Saelus. I'll be, along with Adrian here and a few others, hauling you away from the frontlines when you get injured." He smiled politely as he crossed his arms in a patient manner. No use really getting to know their names, he mentally reminded himself, I'll probably only be hauling her back in pieces in a few hours anyways...
 
Autumn smiled brightly as she followed after Rose down the hallway, pausing for a moment or so for Kagura to join them. "Maybe this time, they'll have cake. So sugar and carbs would be really good for the fight ahead," the armorer commented cheerfully, remembering how she was denied her cake after they amputated her arm on the Alliance by only having cookies and yummy delicious pie. "A nice big chocolate cake with rich, creamy, chocolate frosting. OOH, with cheesecake in it!! Wouldn't that be great, Dear Heart?"
 
Amelia folded her arms, "I don't plan on getting injured, so ideally you will not have to do any such thing." Her tone was odd, almost like a warning rather.

She shook her head. "P3C, Amelia Weynolt." She bowed her head to Fay as kind of a half-salute. "I along with a few others, will be fighting and killing so you don't have to die." Was that supposed to be her sense of humor? She wasn't smiling. Then again, she gave the impression of someone who doesn't smile a lot.
 
Harrison seemed to have drifted out of the conversation, then back in.

"... Oh, you were talking to me? P2C William Howard Harrison, Power Armor Specialist. I'll be out on the frontlines, shooting shit. Right where I belong, except I'm too smooth to get shot." He guffawed lightly, and ran a hand through his hair.

"Pleasure to meet you, Weynolt."
 
Kagura walked with the two women and listened to Autumn's crazy little ranting about what she wanted from the galley. "Well maybe, I don't know much what to expect on a warship like that." she said and looked around as the trio headed to the cafeteria. "I could use some chocolate though."
 
Rose said nothing the entire way, hoping silently it wouldn't be a mess when they arrived. She wasn't sure if Autumn was just nervous, or she was trying to distract Kagura from what had happened on 'leave' however dubious she felt it was.

She had a craving for anything that didn't look like it had been on the deck, the trouble was it was Marine food so she could never be sure it really wasn't.
