She's currently hand cuffed to her bed until command can figure out what to do with her." the medic answers. "Anyway, how's that feel?" he asks, tightening the Gauze around your arm as he neatly finishes up.
You wince in pain, but smile. "In a bit of pain, but I'm just glad it wasn't anything worse.. for all of us. Well.. most of us, at least.." You say, thinking of your sergeant. You drift off to sleep soon after as the pain medication courses through your veins and lull you asleep, any trace of adrenaline keeping you active gone from your body as you finally relax.
Your sleep is eventually interrupted as a Federation soldier shakes you awake. "Excuse me, Jag Rommel?" he asks.
"Huh... what..?" you ask groggily.
"Sorry sir, but you're wanted up in The Sydney." the soldier responds.
"The Sydney..?" You repeat with a drowsy confusion.. "Oh, right.. that's what they renamed the Big Tray into, right? What do they want?"
"I wasn't told, sir. But Major Barre wishes to speak with you."
"The Major!?" you say, jolted awake by the surprise.
"Yes sir. Some of your squad mates are on their way there already. I was ordered to escort you there as well once the doctors gave the all clear."
"Right.. okay, sure. Let's go." you say, taking the medical equipment off your body and buttoning your Federation uniform back up. It's still a dirty and tattered mess of a uniform now, but.. it's something, at least.
You're driven from the medical center to the Big Tray via military jeep, and you walk across the maze that is the Big Tray's internals until you reach the major's quarters. Inside, Yunnus, Gaspa and Stefan are already there to greet you. In front of them and across the table sits a tall, imposing man with the manliest 'stache you've ever seen.
You salute, and the mustached man nods and returns your salute. "Come, you must be Private Jag Rommel, I've.. heard some interesting things about you." he says, motioning for you to come in. "The rest of you may wait in the other room until further notice. Dismissed."
"Sir!" you say, entering the room as Yunnus, Gaspa and Stefan now conscious (though still looking like shit) are leaving. They all look at you and give you a nod as they leave. Once you're seated across from the major and the room is empty, he begins.
