The Mole: A Sci Fi Mystery

[Blaze]

Dean kneels next to Neil and with the ease of a practiced medic starts taking his vitals.

"Sir, can you hear me?"

[Bigmouthstrikes]

Neil nodded, but did not speak.

[Stray-chan]

((God above, how'd a end up gone for so long? Anyway, I'm back from my unannounced hiatus and will pick up again. Once the catbread gets back from his, I guess...))

[muffinstud]

[The catbread is back from his. As much as it pains me, if Shay doesn't come back from his as well, we'll have to continue as if Luka never existed.]

Hardy nods to Neil as he does his job. "He's definitely in pain. I'll take the necessary precautions while you figure out what it is." The captain stands and heads towards the cockpit. Soon, his voice calls out over the PA. "Attention crewmembers, this is your Captain speaking. Everyone is to report to the medical bay as soon as possible. Thank you."

Neil's skin calms down, finally. It still feels rather tight, warm even, but the slithering feeling is gone. His scalp is still feeling odd, and his hair is visibly getting longer. A few strands poke into his field of vision, and he can see the slightly darker shade it's taken.

[Knight Errant]

((IT LIVES!))

Isaac is about to reply as the PA crackles to life. He listens... his face frowning at what he hears. "Well damn it... that is never a good call." He looks to Mark. "Lets get up there ASAP..." He turns and starts briskly walking back the way he came... wondering in his head what could have happened this early in the trip.

[Zoey]

(What has science DONE?!)

Markus nods. "Heh, lets" he said folloing Isaac out feeling victorious from their earlier conversation. "Wonder what the capn wants with us" he comments.

[Ookalf]

*Julian watches as Dean does his thing with Neil.* Man, this is crazy...

[Bigmouthstrikes]

Niel started to run his fingers through his lengthening hair, letting out a nervous moan.

[Stray-chan]

When Neil collapses, Thomas, lacking medical skill, pretty much just hangs back, trying to give the guy air. "So that's not good. It's just something like jump sickness, right, nothing contagions? That'd suck." When the PA blares to life, he bites his lip. "Well, I'll go see what the captain wants. Hang in there, ok, Neil?" He heads over to the medical bay, wondering who'll be there, given the doctor is looking at Neil.

[muffinstud]

Captain Hardy gives Neil a sympathetic look. "You're in good hands, Neil. Julian?" He turns to him and puts a hand on his shoulder. "Help Dean carry him into his bunk. Last thing we need is people freaking out over what's happening to him." He then moves over to the medical bay, which is really just a corner of the kitchen. There is a long counter for laying someone up for study, and all of the necessary medical tools in counters above and below. Hardy nods to Thomas. "Thanks for coming so quickly."

Neil's hair slows down a bit so that now it takes careful scrutiny to see how quickly it grows. By now, his ears are almost covered and it feels quite shaggy. His skin tightens up a bit more to reveal a little better muscle tone, along with a slightly more healthy complexion.

R-roger! *Julian kneels down enxt to to Neil.* Ready, Dean?

[Knight Errant]

Isaac takes the lift to the main deck, assumingly with Markus as well. He then heads to the infirmary at a brisk pace... if something had happened... well he was the damn security officer.

[Blaze]

Dean places an ear to Neil's chest, noting the growing hair with concern. He looks at Julian.

"Oh, right. Ready!"

He puts his arms under Neil's body, ready to lift.

One, two... *Julian grabs Neil from the other side and lifts.*

[Blaze]

"Three."

Dean lifts along with Julian and heads towards Neil's room.
