Log_Characters::Jacob Storn, Jacy, Chloe, Helena, Rolend, Conoger

This is a couple of days after the battle in Persephone and Conoger is holed up in a very private apartment. The windows have been closed tight and pieces of the cupboards have been used to reinforce them. All the locks put on the door and a chair or two against the door to keep it closed. The couch used as a barricade as a first line of defence and then the table as a second line of defence, just before the bedroom, where Jacy is laying in the bed. Conoger has tried his best to keep her alive, helped cover and mend some of the bullet wounds but others he can't help but slow the flow and keep it covered as best he can. His own state is no better, shot three times, twice on the side and another on the leg, he is hurting but by sure will alone he is staying awake, up and ready to defend himself and Jacy.

Helena looks over to Conoger, glancing briefly to Chloe then back to him. "Yes. They have to believe she was taken by force or else she will return to worse." She comments to her own understanding of things before a faint smile touches her lips, "And it might be the only way to get her to rest for more than 1 minute at a time. You should abduct her more often." Trying to be light in the face of everything. She hands over one of the sandwiches to Conoger, "Speaking of...you should sit and eat. She may have patched you up, but you still need to let your body recover."

Conoger nods and then feels relieved that Helena understands fully what he is trying to do. Keep a doctor around to keep Jacy healed and safe, plus this way he knows Chloe will not run, she is stubborn that way. At the mention of he needing to sit down, he looks at the door, looks at the windows and then back to her, nodding now and then taking a seat on the floor, still facing the door, gun pointing in that direction. He eats the sandwich given and then sighs, ever so slowly and eats slowly, savouring the taste, since it may be the last he eat in a bit. "I have a kid out there, been a look out fer me. Any suspicious individuals, be it alliance or men looking or asking about a Viking. He will knock three times at the window and loudly so we can hear." then he looks at her and smiles. " I want ya to escape through the window then, most likely enough time for you to escape. If anyone is going to be taken, it be me, no one else. I can easily talk my way out of certain things." he sounds half asleep, ready to fall, he does not remember the last time he had any real sleep.

Helena settles on the floor next to him with her own sandwich. She rests her back against the kitchen cabinet as she watches Conoger. There is a nod to the first words and glances to the window in question, taking a long slow breath. She is committed to the task, but well this has been a lot for her to take in. "Or we both do and leave them to be found?" She suggests finally and rests her hand upon his arm. "You don't have to go down, guns blazing. There are other options here." She says softly as her fingers squeeze on his arm before shifting beside him and motioning for him to lean against her, "Hand me the gun and you rest for a bit. You can't fight like you are now."

Conoger looks at her and then looks at the window and then himself. He eats a bit and then shakes his head. " My dear Helena, I do so love you but I can't have you involved any further than you are right now. If we both run right now, we will be hunted by both sides or in case of the commonwealth all three sides." he sighs and looks at the window. " You are small enough to escape through there, I am also injured and can't run. So running for me is no option at this time. " then he does lean and just closes his eyes for a moment. He does hand her the Zeus, a nice very sturdy rifle and shotgun put together if need be. He still ahs a gun, he still has his axe, he isn't defenceless. " I will just lean and rest a bit. Though sleeping is no option at the moment. Now, think of our kids Helena, a mother must be present, you are that mother. Chloe is so involved in this war, that most likely she will not ever be around and if she is, it be barely, it will have to be you. They can't know she is helping us, if they do, they will seek her family out, kill them off. Most likely go after mine but since they are not within the core worlds, they may not."

"My dear Connie, I was involved the moment I saw you on that street Corner. It seems a lifetime ago." She says softly and reaches a hand to his cheek before kissing him briefly. The weapons are taken and she checks the rounds before resting the rifle at her side within easy reach. She slips an arm around him and rests her head on his shoulder as he leans into her. His further argument has her looking down at the floor. "They are safe. No matter what happens to us they will be loved. I can't sit back and just wait to hear if you have been captured or killed. Two guns are better than one." She says and takes a slow deep breath, "You did not get me into anything. I choose you, I choose this."

There is a chuckle from Conoger as he remembers back then. He did not look as now, but like a bum that never cleaned himself or at least shaved and wore cleaner clothes. "Yes, I remember that time, I thought in my mind I was below you. I mean a companion and her bodyguard, looking like they were lost." he chuckles then again. " I am glad we met Helena, you have brought me great joy and comfort." then he kisses her forehead lightly with his lips. At her other words he nods, he understands. " Alright then but only if I start to shoot. I will speak to them, who ever it may be, you will act as a victim please, one pressured into helping me, will that be alright with you?" any way to get her at least out of harms way.

"A woman lost and you helped her find what she was looking for." Helena says softly as she lifts her head to look at his face. "I have no regrets Connie. Even in the chaos that surrounds you I feel safest at your side." She smiles as his lips touch her forehead and takes another steadying breath. Her fingers find his and she grips his off hand for a moment. Thinking over his words, "Alright." She says and looks around. "My apartment and you busted in? If alliance takes me it probably won't take long to figure out who I am and this apartment is registered in my name." Get the stories straight now. Well a companion is no doubt good at telling stories, making every client believe they are the one and only.

Her answer and Conoger smiles, nodding to her story about been found and nodding to her words about the plan. " Good, now that we know you also have been taken hostage, we can think on what if we have to get going, where are we to go. If we can at least make it out of the city, I am sure we can find a place to hide and honker down." then he looks to Jacy and Chloe, he frowns and shakes his head. " I may have to drop them off at the Steel Dragon shipyard, they have set up a medical station there. Then I can disappear for a bit, you will have to go back to the Aces. Tell them I am safe and that I will find a way back home." though thinking on it. " You have any suggestions?"

Helena listens to the words and looks thoughtful, "Doesn't one of the crew have a property on Persephone? Storn? We blend in with the people leaving the city and make our way there?" She says thoughtfully and looks over Conoger's face, "Remove the beard and none would recognize you." She continues as she strokes the beard and looks over his face. "That or call in a tip that they are here. Is the officer well enough to be moved?" She asks with a glance towards the bedroom.

Conoger hmms at Helena's words about a crew member having property. " Oh yeah, he does have a place out of the city." now he nods, seems that is a good place as any. " Remove the beard ya say, you know how long it took me to grow it back." he grumbles but it is logical in a way, going in disguise and getting the hell out of this city. Then the mention of tip and moving he looks back to Jacy and shakes his head. " I don't know. Chloe did a good job on her, patched her up pretty good but I am not to sure." once again he looks to Chloe and then back to Jacy. " I am not sure what will be. I just hope Jacy realizes I did what I did to save her arse. Rodney wanted her head and I saved it, though getting shot and hurting her was not part of the plan." He strokes his beard with his hand and leans back a bit, eyes back on the door. " Anyways, we can't go anywhere till dark, day light is to risky but if I can move Jacy without killing her, I will, I need to talk to her."

Helena smiles at his reluctance to remove the beard and leans forward to kiss his nose, "It will grow back, your head will not if it gets shot off." Logical lass is logical. She follows his gaze to Jacy then looks to Chloe, "Well she is the doc, when she wakes up we can ask her opinion, alright?" She looks back to Conoger and nods, "Convince Chloe and she will convince others. Give her a story that is something she can say truthfully. She got a distress call and was taken here against her will and made to treat someone and taken hostage. All of this is true even if her life was never at threat. She sucks at lying, so we need to give her a truth to tell...though I would as soon take her with us. I worry with her being there...and she looks worn to a thread." She says softly as she looks over to the sleeping Chloe.

Conoger looks at Chloe and then to Helena and finally to Jacy. " Chloe tries to help as many as possible, she is going to kill herself if she keeps at it. We could just let someone know that Jacy is here and just take Chloe with us, kidnap her and not let her go. So if she ever happens to be caught, she can say she was taken and not released." yes, it is obvious he is concerned for her, a lot. " Though that means we three be hiding from everyone. I am sure Rodney be seeking my head from now on, since I did not bring Jacy to him. The Alliance is seeking my head as well for taking Jacy, though they do not know the whole story and possibly never will." he thinks a bit more and smiles. " I will become that villain that all hate then, perhaps in a way it is meant to be this way." then he thinks a bit, looking around. " I will need a ship though."

"Well we need to talk to her about it Connie. She is perhaps more stubborn than even you and dealing with her if she doesn't want to be a part of this plan will be harder than kidnapping her." Helena responds as she looks over to Chloe. The pair are sitting on the kitchen floor eating sandwiches. "We need to convince them that you were trying to save Jacy...then at least one set of people may be off your back..." Ironically the alliance. "Though hopefully they will all be too busy with one another to deal with us."

Conoger finishes his sandwich and looks to the door. "Yes, she is a stubborn woman and have dealt with her in so many occasions and for a very long time now." he sighs and looks at his leg and he knows that she has done well to take care of him, he will walk again and even run after a week or so, maybe a little longer. He sighs and looks to Jacy. "I am looking to that woman and wonder what she really thinks on things. I wish to speak to her and find out but over all, I am not going to let it go Helena. Before this night is over, I will speak to Jacy. Once I am satisfied, I will release her but Chloe is coming with us." stubborn he is and he has changed his mind but over all he cares to much to let her go back to this war. " I still need a ship."

Chloe stirs, hours after she collapsed from exhaustion. No doubt with the nervous breakdown earlier before Chloe arrived Helena knew this was around the bend. NOT paranoid, she stirs, puzzled by the unfamiliar sensation but familiar voices.

Helena smiles at the comment about Chloe's stubbornness. It is one of the qualities she does respect in the woman at least. "She could probably use a good kidnapping, give her time to rest." She says in agreement and glances over to Chloe with a worried look upon her face, "She can't keep going like she is." She ponders the other problem at hand. "First problem first...we get to the ranch then deal with the next problem?" She quiets as she notices Chloe stirring.

Conoger looks at Helena and sighs slightly and looks to his axe. " I will protect her with my life, using this axe, same as you Helena. Jacy is a mean to a end, what end....I am not sure but I know I am not giving her over to Rodney. I do not trust that man and the ones he leads. Though at the battle, they covered my retreat, as the Alliance snipers were shooting at me." Finally he looks at Jacy. " I will tell you this, I will not give her up until I have spoken to her Helena." then as he closes his eyes a moment, he still looks real tired, sleeping for him as far between, more like quick little naps.

Chloe stirs and mumbles, "The baby's crying." She struggles to wake up, "M'sorry. Mother's coming...just.." she issues a soft sound of exhaustion, "Mm...yes, on my...way.." she struggles towards consciousness, apparently her subconscious trying to alert her to her predicament by giving her a dream that'd prompt her to wake-a dream that she hears michael and indeed it seems to be working as she claws through her exhaustion towards consciousness.

Helena nods to Conoger's words and leans forward to kiss him. "I know..." She says softly and strokes his beard. "This comes off after we release Jacy." She says and kisses him again, but anything further is distracted as Chloe starts to wake up. Helena quickly moves over to the bound woman and places a hand upon her cheek, "Its alright, he's safe. You are safe..." She murmurs softly to the woman, not wishing to jar her into wakefulness.

Conoger kisses Helena back and then looks towards Chloe. " She will wake soon enough, she'll not like that she is tied up hand and feet but , she may hate me later, this is for her own good." Though the beard comment makes him frown a bit. " Well, we shall see, this is hard enough to get it through my head that we decided to release her, though I have yet to say when." then he hears the knock at the door and Conoger picks up the Zeus and points it at the door. "Helena, open the door and get out of the way after." Sure enough she nods and does as told, she opens the door.....

Chloe tries to move, her brows knit and she jerks, looking around in panic, "Why am I restrained?" she begins to struggle, "Where is The commander?!" she's resisting the urge to struggle but she is unhappy. She looks to Conoger, "Do you recall NONE of the promises you've made me?" She looks to Helena, "Has partnership no meaning it ANYONE in this room?" She adds aridly to Helena, "Accomplice is not the same as a partner."

Storn walks into the room leaning on his cane, wearing a non-descript jumpsuit an looking around arching his brow when he sees Chloe and Helena here in the apartment with Conoger. His blue eyes turn back to the Viking, "Unless you wanna explain to Miku how I got shot, let's just put the weapon down." He tilts his head taking in the fact Chloe is restrained as well.

Conoger does not look to Chloe, he already knew she was going to get upset with him. " This is for your own good." there is a edge of strength to his words, even though he looks like he is shot and tired as hell, he looks like a man that will be falling down from sure exhaustion soon enough.

As Helena moves and lets who ever through the door, Conoger catches the old man Storn and does not pull the trigger. " I am not going ta shoot ya, just bloody close the door will ya, your letting a draft in." Then Helena comes in behind Storn and closes the door, pad locks and all. Then she steps back and goes to sit by Chloe for now. " So, what gave my location away Storn?"

Chloe looks up and bares his teeth, "I am not a child, you do not get to decide what is good for me." she rolls her eyes and cries out, "You are in an apartment which presumably you've had for some time from the looks of it! How can someone SO FOOLISH be SO ARROGANT?!" she lays back and looks at the ceiling in a state of shock, "I had a /child/ with this man.." she looks to Conoger, "It's as if you simply decided you had errored so you would simply keep making errors! It's as if one digs a well in the wrong place and simply decides burrowing to the opposite side of a planet is the wisest recourse! I need my hands to tend to the patient who STILL requires MEDICAL attention." and then she gets quite. That's probably the scariest of all, is that she meets Conoger's gaze and states very softly, "So help me, Mr. Jacobs, you had better untie me *this* *instant*."

Storn keeps his right hand around his waist until Conoger lowers his weapon. "Cameras on the shipyard caught you slipping off, and cameras on Sink's warehouse saw ya coming this way. You are lucky they aren't part of the public grid." He reaches up an pushes his glasses farther up his nose. "Lucky for you I also was able to follow you through the cities camera systems until you got to the docks. Then I've heard some shit that I was hoping wasn't true." He frowns a little when he sees Jacy, "Though I suppose that was too good to be true." He smiles, "Lucky for you, I.. have a plan to save your ass."

Conoger looks towards Storn and then nods slowly. " It's the helm, always stands out. Which means it is time to get going right?" then he stands up and looks to Chloe. " You have one moment Chloe, for once just bloody keep quiet and be a bloody hostage without complaining or so help me, I will gag you. If you want to look after Jacy, then do it quietly and don't do something stupid."

Then he looks to Chloe and then to Helena. Helena starts to untie Chloe so she can look after Jacy , do what doctors do for now. Conoger is hoping a bit and then looks to Storn. " My patience is thin, what is your plan Storn, I am almost out and possibly the most wanted man of both sides of this war now."

Chloe's hackles smooth a bit as Helena unties her and kisses Helena's cheek, "I do not blame you." She rubs her wrists and grimaces as she rolls her shoulder which pops and prompts a pained gasp. She moves to tend to Jacy and frowns, "Her chest sounds are uneven." she checks, "Her blood pressures dropped." she digs in her doctor's back, "You might as well save your breath, Mr. Storn. Mr. Jacobs is beyond all sense or reason."

In the small space between words, the sound of tapping on the door can be picked out. It sounds as if someone wants to knock, but is trying to keep it really quiet.

Storn moves over and casually leans against the wall. He watches Helena free Chloe and her go over to Jacy. "I've currently got the surrounding power grid ready to light up like new years and give us darkness and time to get everyone across the street to Sink's warehouse and through one of our tunnels to the Shipyard where the Passage and doctors are waiting to help everyone. The Passage is a noble's ship and full of medical equipment. She won't be questioned."

Helena looks over to Storn, "I told you to leave off. You don't need to be a part of this." She says as she kneels next to Chloe and helps rub at her wrists and looks down at the markings there then up at Chloe, "In case you were caught my dear...the marks.. well they will validate your story of being taken." She moves with her to help Chloe with Jacy and glances over towards the men. Her movements pause though as she hears the knock and looks over to Storn, "Did you watch check for followers?"

Chloe exhales, "I am capable of making my own provisions!" Her tone exasperated, "this was unnecessary. I am fairly certain I know a fair whit better what would or wouldn't cast suspicion upon me than either of you." She lifts a finger to Helena, "That you are listening to his nonsense greatly concerns me." she frowns gently and mutters, "It...might be someone from the Jia."

Conoger looks to Chloe as she starts to say words again, he almost gagged her then but decides to just let it slide this time, she is right, he is beyond reason, at least he still thinks he is in charge, he does have two hostages, well more like three. "I see, so you planning to some how we take Jacy as well right, I mean I am not sure..." then he hears the knock and he frowns. He hears Chloe and looks at her. " Not one more word or I will gag ya and you will go back to been tide."

It is here that he looks to Storn, motions for him to get to the one side of the door. It is here that Conoger moves to the door, axe in hand, hoping and he leans against the door and speaks through it. " Who goes there, speak now or death be upon you." he states boldly.

Storn draws the sword from his cane and nods to Conoger an shakes his head to Helena at both her accusation and question. He sighs, "What the hell is he doing here?"

"Of course you do Chloe, but well we are doing our best. At least you got some sleep..." She offers ever so helpfully and looks back towards the door, hand going to her nearby rifle. "War is nonsense no mater who is spouting it. I might as well stick to the one who makes the most sense to me." She whispers to Chloe and raises a curious brow to Conoger as she hears the words through the door.

Chloe blinks and looks up in alarm, "Noon!" She looks to Conoger worriedly, "Send him away. He cannot be a part of this." She looks to Storn, "Send him away!" she flushes, "I hit the Jia panic button before I lost consciousness." She looks dismayed, "Oh dear, I have damned him..." Her eyes begin to well with alarmed tears, "I had hoped it would be Danee or Mr. Mibu..."She looks to Storn, "Please put that away, are running low on supplies." She looks at the door trying to keep her composure but increasingly upset.

Conoger opens the door and with a grip of a bear, grabs Rolend by the scruff of the shirt and drags him inside. Then closes the door before anything else can happen. " Ro, dam nit man. Seems I got myself another hostage." he is getting frustrated, way to many people, way to many friends involved now. He looks to Chloe then. " Can Jacy be ready to travel, if not we leave her behind and call in a tip. Though now, no more surprises, we make a plan, just encase and see if there is a possibility that we all get out of here alive. So Ro is involved, too late to send him away, I may mark you Ro, just for your safety." still he just hops to the couch and groans in pain, meds not working as well.

Rolend opens his mouth to speak as the door opens, "It's about gor.....urkkkk." He blinks in surprise as he's pulling inside. He slaps at Con's hand on his collar, "I walked here didn't I?" At the mention of marking he holds up both his hands, "Whoa whoa now... I don't want anything that permanent here. I mean.. You mark your own territory.." He looks past them all and over to Chloe, "Doc?"

Helena puts the gun down as it turns out the next one is at least friendly. The names passing around at least clicking, "Joe?" She asks of the man then looks to Chloe, "Ah, Mr. Rolend? Of course he would answer..." She says with a half smile. How else do you deal with this. She shakes her head and looks over to Conoger as she notices him failing and makes her way over to him. "Chloe is not hurt, I brought her here to take care of Jacy and Connie. we are just trying to come up with a plan that leaves the least amount of friendlies in the wind."

Chloe murmurs, "I will be staying with her. Leave us both. I will see about her short term memory, and she and I will return to the destiny." She looks at Rolend, her wrists showing a ill bit of rope burn from her earlier struggles, "Mr. Rolend. I am so sorry." she doesn't cry but her eyes glisten with tears she stubbornly refuses to shed, "And do not argue you with, It is because you EVERYONE is here. This is all YOUR doing. the kidnapping Jacy-this was an act of heroism. The rest of it is foolishness. Because of your refusal to listen to anyone EVERYONE here is in danger. Are you SATISIFIED? Helena, myself, Storn? " She lifts her fingers and GLARES at Conoger, "Had you worked WITH me this would be OVER now. It is as if you *TRY* to be a bane to everyone who cares about you! How horrible would it have been to at least ENTERTAIN a partnership?!" She lifts her hands, "I can't even BEAR to see you." She looks at Joe and wilts, "Mr. Rolend. Please forgive me. I have brought you into this madness."

Con sits on the couch, looking towards Chloe, Rolend Storn and Helena. He is silent and then closes his eyes, his pistol point moving up and down on his lap, tapping more like it and then he takes in a deep breath. "This is what is going to happens and I will not take no for a answer, I will not have arguments and all of you will listen." he says this calmly. " First off, if we can, we will move her, if not , she is staying here, by herself. Chloe, I don't care who you are and how big your mouth is, you are coming if you like it or not. I will tie you up and gag you and I mean it. So stop arguing and this is how it will be. Rolend, you have one chance, leave now and don't look back, go back to the Jia and be safe. Where I am heading, it could be more trouble and dangerous or I may just go back home." then he looks to Helena. " Your choice." then he looks to Storn, he does not have to say anything to the man, seems he has it all planned out. Now he opens his eyes and he looks much more tired than before. " Don't think I will shoot you to save your lives, I will." he seems serious, if he did not look like he was about to pass out.

Rolend shrugs, and sits down on the couch next to Con, "Knock all that gao'se off. She's crew Brother. I couldn't leave without 'er any more than I could leave without you." He pauses to look at the big man, "Up to yer ears in it are ye?"

Helena sits on the arm of the couch next to Conoger, quiet as Chloe and him tirade at each other. Finally she looks back to Chloe, "Do you really want to go back to that ship? You have been run ragged and fearing death at their hands for months now. Every time you go to visit your babe, your friends, your family you put them at risk. We talked about this at the picnic...just picking up and running away from everything. Find our own version of safe...together." She says and places a hand on Conoger's arm gently and looks to Rolend. "Your other choice, to come with us. Talk Chloe into leaving the Alliance behind so she can live her life. They will find another doctor, we won't find another Chloe." Her voice is calm and she looks down to Conoger, "You know I already made my choice love."

Rolend nods and gestures to Helena, "See? I done told her that same thing more 'n a half dozen times."

Chloe murmurs, "I promised her I'd not leave her. I won't leave her. You wish to test it I will simply make certain we all get caught getting off the planet. I and Mr. Rolend will be excused, you will and Storn will be interrogated, and I will get my way. I promised * MY PATIENT* that I would stay by her side. You might as well slay me now- because it will bring you far less grief than if you force me to break my promise to my patient. I am not in DANGER you infuriating man! I am in NO DANGER!!! I AM AN ALLIANCE OFFICER!" she bares her teeth, "Shoot me, it'll make me feel less guilty when I have you institutionalized." She looks to Joe, "Don't waste your breath. Arguing with him is no different than arguing with a psychiatric ward." She snorts, "Which I suppose it is..." She exhales and looks guilty, "I'm verbally abusing an invalid." she looks to Helena, "I am an adult woman, an alliance, the choice is *MINE* to make, No one else will be making it. I am no one's property, or prisoner, or crew. I will make *MY OWN* decisions about my fate. This has never, and will NEVER CHANGE." She murmurs, "I am staying. And for those of you who find my presence in your life so important will rest assured that those who cannot grasp this simple tenant will not be invited to be a part of my life. I. Am. Staying." she looks to Conoger, "I...know...this woman." She stares at him, "You can't ask me to leave her."

Helena lowers her gaze at Chloe's words. They are logical. What are they doing? She takes a slow deep breath and looks down at Conoger, "She makes a point..." She murmurs and sooths a hand over Conoger's head before looking up to Chloe. "Please at least know where his plan is coming from. Where we are coming from. We love you Chloe and it has hurt to see you how you have been lately. We are offering you an escape hatch and I wish you would take it." She says softly before looking to Jacy, "But I understand commitments. There is clearly more there between you than just being allies. You care for her as well..." She starts and takes another slow breath, "Every plan we had is in consideration of that and making sure she gets medical care immediately after we leave."

Conoger looks at Rolend as he sits at the couch. " Alright, stick with that and you may tell others of this incident." he slowly stands up and looks at Chloe. " I've had enough, your words now are silent and I will not hear them. Now look over Jacy and make sure she is alright. You will be tide up and you will be gagged. I asked you before and now I have no choice, you will not stop." he is calm, his voice is not raised but it's obvious he will go with his words now. " Helena, thank you for the support." then looking to Rolend. " I will be the bad man if some people do not listen. I hope to get out of this alive, not in one piece but I plan to."

Rolend looks between the two of them, and up at Conoger. He stands up as well, "Easy now.. Lets think slow for a minute." He rubs his chin, and looks around. He glances at Chloe, for a long moment, before asking, "Doc... Forget about the rest of it for a minute, "Is the patient stable?"

Chloe mutters, "Oh, like you ever hear them? I don't think you've ever heard a word I've said from: let me fetch a condom until this travesty. Fear not, you will soon have AMPLE silence from me." She looks to Joe, "See? No concept. He has never been alliance officer but guidance, insight, Intel? The last things on his mind." She begins to cry inspite of herself. "I should not have hit the button, oh, Mr. Rolend...I am more regretful than you could ever know." she tries to collect herself but she looks to the prone position of Jacy to Joe and her bottom lip quiver, "Barely. She requires a transfusion and a proper medical bay. Her BP is weak and her pulse is weaker than I'd like." With the medical redirection she collects herself, "We need more blankets, if we do not get her proper medical attention soon she may go into shock. Did you bring your Medical bag with you?"

Helena looks as well to both Conoger and Chloe but at the mention of blankets she goes into the closet and fetches a few more spare ones that had been tucked away. She brings them to Chloe and helps her put the over Jacky's prone body if so required.

Conoger looks at Rolend. " I am done thinking, things are going to go as I say, nothing else, no other way." His voice firm and yeah, no changing his mind now. Though he knows he can't tie Chloe or gag her at the moment but by look alone he plans to later. "Make sure she is stable or at least try. If she can't be moved, she will stay behind and this location will be known to the Alliance and they will come."

Rolend nods once, and looks at Conoger, "You got it.. yer in charge...The whole verse had heard the story of how you snagged her. I reckon it will be legend by this time tomorrow. Lets try to keep 'er alive." He glances around, "Who's got Oh-positive? Anyone?" He nods over to Chloe, "I got some of it... I had to trade some of it to get on planet."

Chloe exhales and mutters, "Very well, Mr. Jacobs, We do not leave until she's stable. In her present condition she can crash in a span of a few minutes. Before help arrives. So we wait until she is stable and remains stable for a time, is this agreeable to you?" She looks to Rolend, "Anyone can donate but since I know I have all my vaccinations and am least likely to be an unwitting carrier of any infectious diseases, you will be transfusing from me. In the future, O positive can accept a transfusion from any blood type." she rolls up her sleeve, "You will want the second lowest gauge in your kit."

Rolend nods and brings what's left of his kit over to Chloe. He hands her the correct gauge, "What can we use to pump with Doc?" He pulls the IV lines from the kit, and after a moment remembers to pull on a pair of gloves. He pauses for a moment, and glances around, looking for anything of use. He lets out a long breath, "If we get her BP up... Will it be safe to leave her here with a medic?"

Chloe looks to Rolend and murmurs, "How is it you came?" She frowns gently, "Is the Jia in trouble or has everyone...scattered?" She exhales, "I suppose you are getting your way Mr. Rolend." She looks up and attempts a smile, "I will stay aboard the Jia with you..." She looks to Conoger, "Well. Once Mr. Jacobs says I may join you." a pause, "that is, if you will...ah...have me?" she flushes. She pauses and looks around, "my kit isn't equipped for this. Ahhh." She looks around, "Do you have a fish tank or air pump, Mr. Jacobs?" she frowns, "It depends, she's haemorrhaging internally. A transfusion may worsen her condition but if we do not she /definitely/ will go into shock."

Conoger finally just relaxes and watches, he se's she knows what she is doing, she is a doctor after all. Rolend helping as well as Helena, over all things are going smoother. " We shall see when that will happen and I do not have a fish tank, they would die, I barely keep myself fed." He puts a hand on his side and then hi leg, over all he am not bleeding out.

All this time and he has not heard anything on the cortex. " What ya mean all know Jacy is gone? Like they did not know already?"

Jacy stirs, her eyes flickering open to stare unseeingly for a moment at the ceiling. She says nothing, at first, turning her head to look around the room where she finds herself. Waking up naked in a strange room - well, the only thing she knows is that there wasn't drink involved on this occasion.

Rolend looks over to Conoger, "That's what I'm saying Boss. She dies, and you'll go from bad to worse. Let the Doc work.. She don't need to be trussed up." He looks back to Chloe, "I could rig a squeeze pump maybe... I've got IV ba...." He nods to Jacy as he hand Chloe's IV tubes, "She's coming around Doc."

Chloe :looks to Rolend briefly but doesn't say anything. She moves to offer Rolend one of Helena's ridiculous masks, "In case she wakes." she frowns, "Go ahead and run the catheter, my greater blood pressure should suffice for now." She then murmurs softly, "You are safe." she sounds exhausted, "I am tending to your wounds, you require a modest transfusion of blood. Will you permit me to do this?"

Conoger watches as they continue to help Jacy. As she stirs he keeps his weapon in hand, ready for anything. As Chloe starts to mention that she is asking to give her blood. " She is barely alive, I am sure she say...yeah ." he is with little words, he is tired and he take a seat on the couch for now.

"Doctor Jameson?" Jacy looks and sounds disorientated. She's searching out Chloe's voice, looking in that direction, barely seeing anyone else in the room. She tries to sit up, but the motion brings a spasm of pain to her eyes and she flops back, exhausted. "Where am I?"

Rolend shakes his head, "I can't see with that thing on." He readies the kit, and swabs Jacy's hand with the alcohol wipe. He pauses waiting for a moment as Chloe asks the question before trying to find a vein.

Chloe murmurs softly, "Someplace safe, you were injured in combat and a good Samaritan brought you here and called for help." She braces a hand on JAcy's shoulder, "Please lay still, I have tended to your wounds as best as can be had in circumstance. I will give you something for the discomfort after I see how your system tolerates the transfusion."

Well it seems that Jacy is coming too and recognizes voices, that is no good , at least in his mind. Now he takes in a deep breath and he says normally. " Can she be transported?" since he really has no idea on her condition.

Rolend carefully guides the catheter into Jacky's hand, just like he was taught. He smoothes a piece of tape over the spot, and nods once to Chloe, before lowering Jacy's hand to her side. He looks back to Conoger, "Easy Boss... To early to tell.. Let the Doc work. Think slow for a minute."

Heather Jacy tries to lie still. She's in the care of Chloe, that much is clear, even if she doesn't recognize the other voices. But she must know that something is wrong - she's not staring at the stark utilitarian metal bulkheads of the Destiny's med bay, and nor can she hear the clatter of wheels and beep of machines that go ping if she were in the Derrial Book Memorial hospital. She blinks, staring over at Chloe, and with her non-IV'd hand reaches for Chloe's hand on her shoulder. "Doc? Is everything shiny?" she mutters hoarsely.

Chloe smiles wryly, "Yes, yes, everything's fine, Commander. Your Samaritan was requires a word with you, he has concerns with being seen with a wounded Alliance Officer." She smiles wryly, "I did warn the dangerous of fear as a tactic for nullification?" she squeezes Jacy's shoulder, "Everything's well enough, you will be back where you belong soon enough. simply relax and let my student here run an IV." She watches Joe and nods approvingly, "Very good, thank you." she looks to Conoger, "No. She will need to remain here and a proper medevac to come for her." she smiles to Jacy reassuringly, "You are very fortunate someone thought to pull you to safety."

Rolend watches the transfusion as they speak. Falling silent, he starts to clean up the small amount of trash from the wrapped instruments.

"The battle..." Jacy swallows, razors in her throat, trying to moisten her lips and the dry inside of her mouth. "D-did we win? What hap...happened? Dinger Bell?" She's forcing the words out, stumbling over the syllables, and her fingers pluck weakly at Chloe's wrist. "What happened to you?"

Chloe smiles in chagrined, "A misunderstanding with a man who is VERY frightened of the Alliance but who, inspite being wounded himself, took great pains to see you safe and made stable until I could arrive. You understand I've had my hands full. Yes, I believe it was deemed an operational success and Mr. Bell lives. He will require a prosthetic but I see no reason he can't eventually return to duty." she smiles, "I'm very glad to see you."

Chloe looks over, "Would you get a glass of water and a straw for our Commander here?" She looks to Jacy, "The transfusion should help some with the thirst."

Conoger has been sitting all this time, watching as they take care of Jacy, he has done nothing but listen to their conversation as they seem to be conversing. After a bit of time he hears Chloe mention something about a confused man, who is scared of the Alliance and Conoger speaks then. " She has been procured to keep you alive Jacy. Seems she ahs done a good job and I am grateful you have lived, would have been a joy to others and a sadness to others." he stands up then. How he is doing it, been so tired and exhausted but he is doing it and he limps forwards to stand at the foot of the bed. " When you are well and maybe of better mind or at least condition to think and talk, we shall speak you and I." he says, not challenging but speaking like she really has no choice in this.

Rolend stills, and looks up at Conoger as he moves. He listens for a moment before glancing of to Chloe and Jacy keeping quiet for the moment.

"You're the viking," Jacy mutters thickly. Her attention slides from Chloe to Conoger. "What do you want to talk about?" she mumbles. "And where's my clothes?" Being naked under a sheet has its psychological disadvantages. She feels up around her neck, and her eyes widen in sudden panic. "My ring!"

Chloe exhales and looks to Jacy, "Do not even think you can argue. Wait until you are where you belong before you even dream of having a say." She murmurs softly, unhappily, "He is strange but he has gone through great pains and personal risk to see you properly tended. I was not procured, I came of my own free will. simply rest, I'll give you something for the pain. I know you are having difficulty breathing and I apologize-this should a bait in time." She rolls her eyes and pats, "Your personal effects will be returned. He stripped you to tend to your wounds, I've examined you thoroughly and you've my word nothing untoward has happened. I have been here with you and I will get you some clothes..." She looks up to Joe, "Would you take a peek in the closets, see if you can find some clothes that might fit her please?" she looks to Jacy, "No hospital gowns here and it is impossible to tend a clothed patient, forgive me."

Rolend nods once, and stands up moving past Conoger. He glances around, and heads for the nearest closet to see if there is anything useful in there.

Conoger look at Jacy for a long time, specially when she says 'Your the Viking'. He was about to say something and like always Chloe steps in and speaks, once again without asking, once again frustrating him. Though now he does not have the strength to argue with her but he does look at her. " You have no clue about her affects, you have no clue why she is naked to begin with." his will to maintain talking and not doing is very close. " Your affects were removed to make sure you had no tracer bugs on you, so you would not be tracked to this place. Second, I know where they are and can be easily attained, unless they have found it and are keeping it safe themselves. Though I did tend to your wounds as well." Now he takes in a deep breath. " Tell me exactly what you think of this war, what exactly you think of the Alliance and of the rebels. Have you seen the corruption in the system and ignored it or have you been planning to fix them?" then he looks to Chloe and frowns. " Do not say anything else and stay quiet while she speaks and do not go on about you do not have to answer this insane mans questions. This insane man saved your commander, she would have been killed."

A shadow drops behind Jacy's eyes at Conoger's words, and now she focuses on him. One hand is still in Rolend's care; the other has fingers wrapped weakly about Chloe's wrist, almost desperately trying to find the doctor's own fingers to interlace them. "Good samaritan?" Her mangled chest rises and falls raggedly, and she's fighting for breath. She rasps, "Everything I've done is for a better 'verse. I put my life and career on the line when the Reaverites rose up." She has to pause for breath. Then, "I've been trying to bring Legion to justice. And now good men and women are being killed and injured here on Persephone...assuming I'm still on Persephone...because of that lunatic Kilbride." She has to pause for a few more seconds after that marathon, her eyes etched with pain at the effort of talking. "Now find your comm unit, wave the local Alliance Federal station to come pick me up." Hey, anything's worth a shot, right?

Chloe looks to Conoger, "The ring is a gift from her wife. Post it to the Destiny care of Comm-.." She murmurs reasonably, "Remember to remain still." She lifts the transfusion rig. She laces her fingers with Jacy and smiles reassuringly. she looks like shit, and frustrated as hell but rather notably she does NOT look afraid. She looks at Conoger and STARES at him as Jacy struggles to breath. As Chloe has said-Jacy needs a proper medbay. For now she moves to put a nasal oxygen rid back on her, "I know it is a little uncomfortable but it will help."

Rolend pauses on his path back to the bed, with an arm load of mismatched clothing. His eyes widen a little stopped in his tracks, his eyes moving to each of them as they speak.

Conoger at the moment is listening to Jacy, obviously listening intently. " Rodney Killbride, I do not understand why so many follow a crazed loon like him. Sure the Alliance sucks the big one and sometimes I wonder myself about them but that does not make me want to go against them, hell no." there is anger there, more frustration than anything right now. " Both the Alliance and them rebels led men and women to their deaths in this battle. For what...to prove a point, to show who is right, it's disgusting. By all right I should have left you out there for Kilbride to take your head, that is what he wants, your head." he and getting more and more agitated and then licks his lips. " I gave you a choice out there and you refused. You had no clue you were already surrounded, they were going to take you and god knows what they would have done and eventually Rodney would have done what ever he wanted with you." he stops as he grabs his side, and then looks back to Jacy, ignoring Chloe and ignoring Jacy's command for him to call the Alliance.

"I am angry, I hurt you to save you, sure it sounds dumb in so many ways but at that moment, it was the only way to keep you alive. I got shot at by both sides of the battle, though I believe it was your snipers that gave me these little holes, good on them." his hand is shaking. " Now, answer my bloody questions, did you know of the corruption, did you know of everything that was been planned and what has been happening. Once again, were you planning to do something about...answer and I will leave you for now."

The young officer stares back at Conoger with a pain-filled gaze, and a glistening droplet of a tear forms in the corner of one eye, trickling down her cheek. She reddens, but has no arms free to wipe it away. "It was you. I remember. You hit me with a gorram axe." She wheezes for breath, her eyes gleaming feverishly. "I don't know everything the Alliance does. We work on a need to know basis, we're /professionals/." Sweat is darkening her hair, beading on her temples. "And everything I do is for a better 'verse." Were she fully healthy, perhaps, she might be able to pull it off, ride roughshod with confidence over the lack of answers. But now, injured and weak, her protestations are feeble to say the least. She seems to realize she's in a bad position, for she tongue flickers out over her parched lips and she mutters hoarsely, staring at him defiantly, "My name is Heather Ann Jacy. My rank is Lieutenant Commander and my Alliance ID is 01705479246."

Chloe 's jaw sets. She doesn't argue but she shifts a bit to make it clear she is about to intervene, "Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough! Can't you see she needs a medical facility? She's struggling to breath, she's recovering and you insist on this!" She sighs and looks to Jacy, "He's not listening." she squeezes Jacy's hand and wiggles fingers loose, apparently anticipating needing that hand.

Rolend drops the pile of clothing by the bed, and nods over Conoger, "Easy now. Everyone just breath easy for a bit." He looks over to Chloe, "Doc?"

Helena is watching the scene before her, clearly conflicted with what is going on. Her gaze flickers to Chloe for a moment and she rises to move between Conoger and the Doc. "Come now, easy now. I know we need answers..." She says as she places a hand on Conoger's chest and looks up at him. "Let us all take a deep breath, because all this yelling is surely going to attract attention." She looks over to Roland. Indeed it seems they are the only cool heads in the room, even if Helena's hand shakes a little. She looks back to Chloe, "What blood type do you need and do you have the supplies to do it here?" Focus on the medicine and what they can do.

Conoger has had his mind set, he needed answers and the one person that he thought could answer them does not. He is angry, upset and now he understand fully what is happening, she too is a victim of been a soldier. So who truly is responsible for all the decisions, who truly needs to answer his questions. All this can be easily read on this mans face. As Jacy gives out her Alliance id, something you do when you are within enemy hands. Conoger's hands are clenched, he is still angry but now he knows and understand alot more than he had in a long time. " A storm is coming and I am trying to decide what side, so far Jacy, you have not helped the Alliance cause, you too are blinded." then he looks at Chloe and his fists unclench and then he looks to Rolend and licks his lips. " Prepare to leave, all of you. Id Jacy can be moved, we will take her with us, if not, we leave her behind and this is my final word, no arguing, no shouting at me, it will be done. Understand, I am the villain here Jacy, all others do my bidding because I will do what ever I need to do to my ends." then he starts to get ready. He looks to Storn then. " Soon, once we are prepared we can go."

Heather Jacy is crying. The tears are rolling down her cheeks - there's precious few of them, she's dehydrated - and she reaches for, plucks at, Chloe's fingers even as Chloe twists her hand away. Her breathing is increasingly ragged. "Where are we going?" The question could be directed at anyone.

Chloe's tears water, "It is bad enough..." She swallows, "She requires PROPER treatment. Please." She swallows and looks to Jacy, "She is not well enough to be moved." She looks to Jacy, "I must go, but your location will be sent to the Destiny." She takes Jacy's hand and her bottom lip quivers, "I am sorry I cannot keep my promise to stay with you, but help will come for you, so you WAIT for them, yes? I can help you get dressed before we leave but you WAIT HERE for a medevac to come get you." She sniffles, "You're going back to the Destiny." She looks to Conoger, "Please. Let me stay. She's not well enough to be left alone and she's certainly not well enough to be moved!" She exhales, "commander...deep breaths." she inhales slowly, "You must conserve your breath. Inhale....exhale...everything will be fine. You are going to go back to the Destiny and I'm sure your wife will be pleased indeed to see you." she wipes tears from her eyes, "But you must remain calm, and you MUST stay in bed."

Rolend moves toward Chloe, lowering his voice, "Easy Doc... Ain't no good to fight here..." He stops in front of her, "She can't move can she?.. What does she need for the next couple of hours or so?"

Helena remains in front of Conoger just now but looks back to Chloe, "Book Memorial is just around the corner. Do we know if any faction is controlling it or still neutral? I have spent more than a few times there and they have adequate facilities and decent doctors. If you need more blood you can have some of mine." Helena comments before looking back to Conoger as he moves away from her and starts to get ready. She really is caught between a pillar and post at the moment. Her hands clench at her sides, but finally she goes into the kitchen and starts packing as much food and supplies as they can carry.

Conoger has pretty much said all he is going to say, he starts to get ready, he starts to make sure his weapons are fully loaded and ready. There is something about Conoger now, there is something brewing in his mind at the moment but the focus to get where they are heading is set in his mind. As he gathers all his items and weapons he looks to Chloe, Rolend, Storn and Helena. " Wait here, I will return, do not leave." he looks at Storn then, he knows the man will listen, no arguing there, after all it is his plan. Soon Conoger is out the door, which gives Chloe enough time to get the blood transfer done and over with.

Heather Jacy stares helplessly at Chloe. "I'm not going anywhere without you, Doc," she mutters hoarsely, trying to keep her voice low. Of course, it's a small apartment, people can hear her. But she's not bellowing. "I'm not going anywhere without you." Even after the transfusion IV is removed, she probably means. "Who are these people?"

Chloe frowns and lifts her chin, "Hurt me. IF you will give me no choice then YOU shall have to do something you find uncomfortable." She looks to Jacy and frowns, "No...that'll upset you and then we would have a situation..." she looks at Joe and looks torn, "She goes back to the SHIP! Why can we not just call a medevac and I remain with her?" she sniffles, "We have to go. The sooner we leave, the sooner you'll be home." She sniffles, "Recall mr...recall him. We'll leave, the sooner the medevac the ALLIANCE medevac is called the better." she looks to Jacy, "I'm not a prisoner, I'm defecting. Do not come to find me. I am sorry. I will see your ring to you so you do not get in trouble with your wife. Mr...ah..." She looks up at Joe, "Would you please disconnect the commander from the catheter and follow the proper biozard protocols?" she sniffles, "You must. I know this is confusing, and I am sorry. I will be fine. You just stay put until medevac comes from you, and remain calm." she siiighs, "It is a long story but inspite of this madness they are NO threat to the Alliance."

Rolend holds up both his hands, "Easy Doc....umm Commander. Easy now." He nods to Chloe, and moves to the bedside, and carefully peels the tape from Jacy's hand, and pressing some gauze to it when he removes the needle from it. He moves to clean up, and glances over to Chloe, "I need to talk to the Doc now. Maybe we can get him to let me sit with her. What does she need for the next couple of hours?"

Helena finishes with her packing, glancing over to the door as Conoger leaves for the moment. She takes a breath and moves to the bed where Chloe and Jacy are. She looks down to the commander, "I know none of this makes sense right now, but he means well, however crazy it seems right now. It is clear you care for Chloe. Know that we do as well...we fear for her and all she has been put through." Her words are quiet and there is some strain to her voice, though her words are clearly sincere. "If you care for her, just tell the truth...we took her and unwillingly. Perhaps this will be better for Chloe in the long term with the Alliance and they will treat her with better respect. We have watched her being treated like a prisoner over the last month and it has been hard. I have nothing against the Alliance, this is purely a matter of..family."

Eventually Conoger comes back, he has a bundle of stuff in hand. He has a duffle bag full of crap or something. His armor removed, he wears no helm, everything that had made him look like a viking is gone. His hair is gone, his beard is gone. As he comes in, he has a hood over his head, he keeps on looking down and then he speaks. " Alright, we are leaving now. I will be the last to leave, I will notify them as soon as I know you all are safe. Storn will lead you and I will follow behind. Do not stray, do not think you can run, I will find you, all of you. Now, go, to much time is wasted." now he is demanding, commanding and really he intends this to be done now.

Heather Jacy stands, slowly, clambering to her knees and then her feet, leaning against the wall for support. The sheets slip off her naked form, but she doesn't seem to care. "I'm. Not. Leaving. Chloe." she mutters, unwilling to relinquish the support of the wall. With the sheet off, her chest is seen to be a mess of bruising, purple and yellow and all the other colors of the rainbow, sewn with ragged lines of stitches....a real mess. She briefly closes her eyes, trying to summon up the strength to move to Chloe's side.

Chloe lifts a finger rot Joe, "Ooooh, no. they don't care of you intentions. the commander herself will be on her feet interrogating you most...ah..avidly in no time, Absolutely not." she looks chagrined to Commander, "I cannot let you have any of them or them have you. This is a complex matter-do NOT assemble the cavalry..." she gapes at Helena and looks like she's about to protest and then with an unhappy sigh, "Yes, of course. All of that which she has just said. I am AWOL to be with my family." She points to Joe, "Except him, hr is merely a medical student he was here at the wrong time, as is evidence by his lack of saying anything positively insane." She exhales and mumbles miserably, "forgive me, commander. And STAY." she rises, "I understand if you have to report my willing abandonment of my duties." She looks to Jacy, "You are not leaving me, I am leaving you. I'm leaving the alliance. I can do this NO more." She looks to Joe she doesn't say his name but there's a look of 'HELP'! as she goes to support Jacy, "Your wife. think of your wife. She's got to be worried SICK."

Rolend darts to the other side of Jacy, and tries to ease her back towards the bed, "How'd I land in the room full of the hardest heads in the verse?", he mutters. He looks over to Jacy, "It'll be alright. Nothing is gonna 'appen to her. Sides if you busy any stitches she'll me put 'em back.. You don't want that."

Helena goes back to gathering up her supplies and packing them into a duffel bag herself. As she hears the declaration from Jacy, she looks up to see the woman standing and naked. There is the faintest nod as she looks over the woman and heads to one of the closets and removes a linen button up shirt and pants. Well made and fine. "Well you will attract attention as you are and from the looks of you we wear the same size. Do I have permission to help you get dressed?" She asks calmly and looks over to Chloe, "We can get her some more help, but Storn was right...we can't leave her here. This apartment will get traced back to me and all our of our families. All of them." She says pointedly to Chloe.

Storn speaks up from where he has been leaning against the wall. "I tell you what the frak is going to happen. We aren't leaving anyone behind. Viking you are a bonehead. If you leave her here and she dies before they get here you are wanted for murder. Kinda fucking hard to raise a family that way." He points his finger to the others, "If you had all been listening, in just a short walk through the dark I have a ship with Dumont Medical available to help heal everyone. No deaths, no gorram muder chargers. I didn't rescue your big ass from slavers and risk getting my own head blown off to see you do something else this colossally stupid."

Conoger stops as he looks to Jacy as she stands up, almost falling over and naked. He sighs, frustrated and then it seems they are all pretty much agreeing to take her along, specially Storn. "Fine, I will carry her, Storn leads the way. Rolend watch our backs. Helena and Chloe close by just encase." he looks to everyone. He expects answers and agreements as well. " Make sure she is blinded before we leave." Conoger pulls out night vision goggles, he is ready for this part at least. " Storn, I know and thank ya, will let ya come along when I find my ship."

Jacy resists. Which is to say that a 50 lb schoolgirl could knock her down flat with the flick of a finger, she's that weak. But she does resist just enough to make it embarrassing for her.

Chloe exhales, "Very well." She looks to Jacy, "Sit and we will get you decent." she searches Jacy's gaze, "You are simply going to have to trust me, Commander." she moves to get Jacy dressed and Storn is given a look of PROFOUND gratitude. She looks to Joe and can't help it, she hiccups, "You're a remarkable man." is all she can say. She looks irritated, "In case of WHAT?" She frowns and surrenders Jacy to Conoger reluctantly, "Be CAREFUL with her!" She reaches out, "It's alright, you'll be home soon."

Rolend pauses to retrieve his gear from the floor. and looks over to Chloe, "Shhhh.. Not so loud.." He glances around the group as it gets ready to leave, "Might be better if'n we're quiet from here on out."

Helena looks over to Storn with a look of gratitude as he gives his offer. Some of her tension does ebb away though she is clearly a bit strained but is keeping herself in control at the moment. She helps Chloe with dressing Jacy. Given her occupation a naked body is hardly a thing that bothers her. She grabs a scarf from her side table and gives an apologetic smile, "I am sorry about this." And blindfolded she is. "Conoger has tried to help her so far, he will not hurt her. HE will have to deal with me if he does." She says and reaches for Chloe's hand, "Take a deep breath Chloe, we will all get through this." She says softly and rises to her feet and moves to grab her backpack, sliding it on before grabbing up her rifle. In her current state of dress it suits her, but for those that know her, well it is not how they expect to see her.

Storn grabs a mint from his pocket of the jumpsuit and plops it in his mouth followed by a chomp as he munches on the peppermint. "I'm gonna have to find my stash of whiskey at the shipyard. Everyone might wanna cover thair ears." Storn says while picking up his Icomm.

Conoger makes sure that all is done, everyone is ready and he lifts Jacy into his arms, he grunts a bit but he does it. Speaking to Rolend. " Close the door behind us, please." then he looks to Storn and nods, his goggles on already. As soon as things start to blow and it goes dark. " Go now!" he hopes all an get to where they are heading.

Heather Jacy comes along quietly. Really, she has no choice. Weak as a kitten, she's dressed without issue, leaning against Chloe whenever she can, allowing Helena to assist really because she has no strength left to resist. She flinches as the material touches her chest, letting out a whimper. And then she's being carried...

After the IComm is used there is a thunderously loud explosion in the distance, and the lights from the already over taxed grid from the battle flicker and go out.

Chloe issues a startled yelp and gabs Joe's arm, eyes wide and she looks TERRIFIED! She her continued silence suggests she's truly frightened as she's actually shut up save for the occasional sound of alarm and distracted murmured apology if she bumps into someone.

Rolend nods once to Conoger, and follows them out, and closes the door behind them.

Helena moves into the line of people between Chloe and Conoger. At the warning hands are pressed to her ears but still ears are ringing a bit. She reaches back to grab Chloe's free hand. "Its ok." She whispers as her other hand goes to Conoger's arm for a moment before she releases both to lift up her rifle.

Conoger ears ring but at least he can see Storn and the others very well. So there they go and he does hope all goes well for them.

Storn leads the motley crew of people into the shipyards from a way only a select few know about. Luckily on a generator there is emergency lighting in the yard. "Hey Boss.. you got a stretcher we can put her on? I am sure it would be more comfortable to be carried rest of the way to the doctors on it." Jacob inquires when he spots Sink.

Helena is in the train of people walking behind Conoger who is carrying Jacy in some of Helena's nicer clothes. As they get to the ship that Storn had arranged to meet with, she lowers the rifle she was carrying and looks back to the others in the group to make sure everyone made it this far before moving next to Conoger to help him with Jacy if needed.

Conoger is not to far behind, he is carrying Jacy in his arms. He lets Sink speak to Storn but does look for a stretcher and hopes it is soon, he is almost done himself. His side aching and his leg throbbing and that stupid night goggle on his face makes him look...weird. Before he puts Jacy down, he does hand within her hand a ring and the necklace that it was hanging with. "Live for a long time, I shall open your eyes to the truth." his last words to her, before he steps away and then leans against something, anything.

Jacy is lowered down to the stretcher, her fingers closing around the fine chain with its delicate ring. Her eyes are red, and she looks from it to Chloe, searching for the doctor's form. "Doc..." she croaks. "Chloe."

Rolend follows the last of them up, and glances one more time back behind them before he lets out the breath he didn't realize he was holding.

Chloe exhales and kisses Jacy's forehead, "conserve their breath, They will take good care of you." She exhales, "There's nothing to say except I will..." she purses her lips, "I am in no danger. Mend well....and forgive me."

Helena steps closer to Conoger and slips an arm around his waist to try and support him as best as she can. He really should be boarding the ship with Jacy and getting himself fixed up further. "She got caught in the battle, Connie rescued her from worse injury. Don't let the rebels know she is here Sink." Well at least her voice is familiar even if her appearance has changed. "She just had a transfusion and Chloe patched her up as best she could."

Conoger is barely standing but he is still injured, even after Chloe's medical help. Lifting Jacy here his side throbs, his leg hurts. he is getting to old for this, plus lack of sleep, makes for a grumpy and tired looking Conoger. "She just needs to be taken care of more, something about some internal stuff...Sink, keep her safe. I can't no more but I ask you help us all by getting us out of this planet. I need to find a ship, one no one uses, don't want the Aces of Jia involved in this." he nearly drops then. He hangs on to Helena a bit and then shakes his head. " I need to rest."

Sink looks up from Jacy to Helena and he nods quickly, "Of course not. No one will know she was here. Once she is stable, I'll take her to an Alliance medical ship." His words seem to be more true then usual, as even the ever present guards along the catwalks are no where to be seen. He starts to hook a wireless medical monitor to Jacy and turns on the instruments in the hover stretcher, and begins to float her towards the Passage. "So, you folks were out there?" Sink's voice is weary, he's about to go on when Conoger speaks up, "Wait, you want to go with her? Who else is coming? It's one thing to take an Alliance officer to a medical facility, but if any of you are wanted...", Sink then sighs, "we'll discuss this later, lets get the Lieutenant Commander comfortable first."

Helena nods to Sink's words as she works to keep Conoger on her feet, though finally finds a cargo container and guides Conoger to sit down. "He was injured as well. Chloe patched him up, but he needs somewhere to rest and recover." She looks worriedly at Conoger and there is love in that gaze as well. "He was and Jacy...best I can tell if he had not grabbed her, she would have been picked up by someone else who would not have cared quite so much for her welfare." Helena shakes her head at Sink's question, "Not with Jacy...something else, some way to get off planet or at least out of the city. We don't want to drag any more into this if we can help it."

Conoger watches as Sink takes Jacy on a hover stretcher and towards the Passage. When Sink asks about where they wanted to go, he was about to say something but he is slowly fading. He breaths a bit shallower as he hears Helena and he nods. " Yes, get them out of here, no one knows about Helena and Chloe or Rolend as well as Storn....get them out of here and away, no one should stop you or them...I'm the one they want, both Rodney and the Alliance for taking Jacy." he is tired, his eyes are drooping. " I will owe you, get them out...I'll be the villain...I'll take the blame." that it pretty much all he says, his body slumps as he just sleep or something.
