Corliss watches, still shaky, powerless to stop Temrash from injecting Terenia with a syringe.

He struggles to his feet, turning on the Controller.

"What the bloody hell was that?" he demands, glaring knives at Temrash.  "Do you have any idea what you've just done?"

The sound of Terenia's body seizing draws his attention back to her.

"Oh, Jesus," one of them mutters, kneeling to try and turn Terenia onto her side. Temrash scoops her up before he can do so.   He strains to maneuver her thrashing body.  

"You...****ing idiot!" he snarls at Temrash, helping him coaxing Terenia sidelong.  "Get something for her to bite down!"

[Chad32]

"I just gave her a stimulant in the correct dosage for someone of her approximate body weight. I'm not sure you're supposed to put something in someone's mouth when they're having a seizure. Don't call me an idiot. Do you have a doctor's degree?"

[Terenia]

<<I'm trying you idiot!>> Terenia screams in response to Temrah, though he cannot hear. Their body continues to thrash, struggling against the restraining hands. A violent lurch throws them from the table and they hit the ground with a loud thumping noise, pulling the wires Temrash attached to them down as well. An animalistic groan escapes their clenched jaw followed by a series of gagging coughs as they vomit, the bile caking their throat and dribbling down their jawline as they begin to choke.

[Chad32]

Temrash tries to keep her from throwing herself off the table, but the violent murch surprised him. He went around and got her up again, and cleaned the puke off of her. He patted her back to try to help her catch her breath.

[Myitt]

"Fat lot of ****ing good it's going to do her, now!" Corliss rages.  He steps around the table and moves Terenia onto her side again, trying to make sure her airway isn't blocked.  

"Christ, Terenia, don't do this," he whispers.

Temrash starts slapping Terenia on the back, and Corliss rounds on him, grabbing his own Dracon from the table he had been lying on and aiming it at Temrash's big Hork-Bajir body.

"Stop trying to help," he snaps.  "You have no bloody clue what you're doing, and I will shoot you if you kill her."

[Chad32]

Temrash reaches to wrench the dracon away from Corliss. "Don't start that crap again. I will throw you out of my ship. I don't know why she's seizing, but if you think I'm going to let you kill me you have another think coming. I'm doing the best I can here, and I'd like more appreciation and fewer threatenings."

[Gaz]

Asda jumped up. "The Captain was hurt?! Show me where they are."

Asda picked up her medical bag and waited to be shown to the injured.

[Chad32]

<They're right over here.> Claxter said, and walked to their table. <I'm afraid that with the Vampire still at large, it may be dangerous for anyone to go out alone anymore.>

[Myitt]

Corliss takes a step back, out of Temrash's grasp.

"If you throw me off this ship," Corliss says lowly, "I reckon you'll try and counteract what I presume was a stimulant with an immunodepressant, and end up giving her a ****ing aneurysm!"

[RAFrukh]

<Fine, yes. Unscathed no,> Dyvinia turned back to the counter, <You are not a nominal Terran specimen.>

[Terenia]

Efaen's seizure finally seems to be winding down; their jaw unclenches and the remaining vomit spews freely from their open mouth in Temrash's direction. Their body then falls to the side and comes to rest, only the slightest tremors interrupting their unconsciousness. Their eyes are closed once more.

<<Efaen!>> Terenia cries, but her host has remained oblivious throughout the entire ordeal.

[Chad32]

"I'm not giving her anything else. I know well enough that giving her anything right after giving her the stimulants will likely make things worse. As long as she's still breathing, and not going to have a heart attack, we should just be able to wait it out. Now give me that dracon! You are not going to fire a weapon in a dapsen medbay!"

The noise of Terenia's shaking quieted down, and he turned to see her settling. Some of her puke got on his tail, though.

[Myitt]

Corliss' gaze flickers to Terenia, then back to Temrash.  He lowers his weapon, glaring.

"This is your bloody fault, you dapsen fool," he says, smoldering.  "If you'd left her well enough alone..."

He notices Terenia is no longer seizing, and with a rush of fear he hurries to her side. 

"Still breathing," he says in relief, sitting back on his haunches.  "No thanks to you."

[Chad32]

"Well you seem to be well enough if you're running around throwing insults." Temrash said as he came behind Corliss and made another grab for his dracon, as well as the back of his shirt. "Get out. Terenia can join you when she's ready to demorph."

[Terenia]

Terenia frantically tries to slow Efaen's heart rate, which is still disconcertingly rapid. At the same time, she attempts to coax Efaen back to consciousness. Neither seems to be working - without a conscious host, Terenia is fairly helpless. She cannot see anything, she can only hear muffled impressions of Temrash and Corliss arguing. Terenia can't even shift their body, despite the fact that it it lying in a rather awkward position with her torso splayed awkwardly over her legs.

<<Efaen, you need to wake up you dapsen Andalite,>> Terenia hisses, her fear turning into frustration. <<Get up!>>
