Amalthea + Takshaka

You have been instructed to leave the front foyer and enter one of the rooms down the center hallway. Room 136's door has an anatomical illustration of a goat crushing a snake under its hoof. A cat looks on, curious.

[INSPECTING THE WORK-- wow it sure is a good thing we totally used that kitty collar as a tourniquet.]

It looks adequate from what parts I can see--does anything else appear to be necrotic like the rest of the flesh was?

I don't see it. But you are the doctor here, Belt.

Perhaps, but I cannot angle to see the back of my leg. [Ugghh...]

Did you follow the same procedure on that portion as on the front? If so, it shall have to do.

Yeah. I did what you told me to. Cutting things--I can do that much.

Then it is fine. Dispose of the necrotic tissue somewhere no one will touch them and bandage the wound. Then please clean off my fan.

[Going to bandage the wound, then go toss the strips of hacked-off flesh into a toilet!]

I'm not sure your fan will be clean for a while, Belt.

Wash all of the blood and viscera off with water, then use the heat of the tool to sterilize the cutting surface.

[Carefully poking at the bandages.]

Ah, all right. Burning it away--yeah. That works.

[Going to do that!]

[You're alright, Swan.]

Aoko provided me with painkillers... how are the others, any idea?

Rook keeps having stomach pains and throwing up. The blond guy--ah, Technic. He can't breathe, Wren's trying to help him. Aoko is feverish and shaking, and something's wrong with her hand.

[Just kind of rattling it off!]

Keep an eye on Technic. If Wren has trouble locating where to cut to enter the tube should things go wrong with intubation, get creative in making an entry and assisting.

Keep the others hydrated as best as we can.

We've only got one pitcher of water. Two if you count the one labeled "radon."

Tap water should suffice for this. It need not be sterile, merely potable.

How do you know Sepsis's tap water is drinkable?

I guess it's better than the alternative.

If it is not, we are dead either way.

You could ask if you need to.

Should I start now?

[ holding the... idk cauterizing-thing (whatever it is) tightly in her hands ]

[llets assume this was before the bandage went on.] Yes. As well as you are able--you know the technique I assume.

[ ...frankly no, she just cauterized Swan's wrist-stub with a blowtorch before ]

I hope so.

[ going to start cauterizing the wound, careful but quick as she can go ]

A-Aoko is keeping an eye on the others. She wanted to help somehow.

She is an incredible woman.

[Digging her nails into her arms, but not looking away.]

Her symptoms, what are they?

Um, fever, coughing and maybe nausea. I gave her an icepack to keep on her head, and some painkillers.

[ her hands are shaking but she's still going. ]

What else should we do for her?

Antivirals, and keep her hydrated.

Did we get antivirals? I didn't recognize the pills we got except for the painkillers.

[Looking at the medicines again...]

There are two different types of antibacterial here, and I did take both of them...

...[Sigh]

The anti-flu medication is our only shot at having an antiviral among what is currently available. Provide that and keep your fingers crossed.

Alright. What about Rook? Should we give him anything in particular?

[ pauses for a moment to wipe some of the blood off on her skirt; it would end badly if the tool slipped out of her hands. ]

[yes that would be v bad.]

Vomiting and an upset stomach...

It could be a stomach bug, but theraflu will not assist with that...

Try the antibacterials. It is better than nothing. Also, any over the counter things we have similar to pepto bismol or another stomach calming agent.

[Gritting her teeth still, but geez I'mma lie down now.]
