Mendez, as expected, took his place beside Atrix, drawing his own pistol for the first time. Rosalind's words did not bode well. Two injured? Ashi was to be expected; when they left, she was about to begin her beat in. But there was another? They were also wanting to make a quick getaway, leading him to believe that something attacked.

With Ashi and Shaldag each situated on their cots, Magali was beside herself with what to do. She was going through towel after towel in an attempt to stop the blood. She had no idea what to do about his jaw, but in other areas, the main priority as far as she could tell, was stopping the bleeding. He had to make it to an actual medic, and if she could help it, he was going to. She gave a quick nod, not turning to him as she did so, focusing on her task at hand. “Had to learn the basics in case anything happened to one of my masters. The thinking was that if something happened, I would be the one thing standing between them and something bad happening. This though? I never thought I'd have to treat anything like this...”

Fikri put a hand on Nokra's shoulder to stop his pacing and looked him in the eye, “You've got this. I know a bit of it, so I can help you with what I know—but for now, I think it's best to watch the best at work.” He nudged him in the direction of the cockpit and stood back, following Nokra into the cockpit.

Rosalind nodded in his direction, “To start,” she said in an obvious acceptance of his proposal, “I want ye t'watch an' see 'ow I move. Ye'll learn the name of parts an' the like later, but now I jes' want ye to watch.” As she spoke, her hands deftly flew over controls, her body's tension seeming to melt as the ship lifted from the ground, then flew up, a razor slicing through the sky like silk. She'd already set coordinates to Onsion, camo already set to on the moment she heard the others were on board. “Fikri, would you get me some coffee, please?”

Fikri looked to Nokra, offering a reassuring smile before leaving to do as he was asked. Rosalind was one of those that needed the human drink to function, especially given the amount of sleep she'd had. True, Fikri didn't like Nokra in the slightest, but a second pilot for Rosalind was necessary given their situation. Even with autopilot, Rosalind had needed to be ready, and now more than ever. This was going to be a good thing, for both of them. And who was he to say no to an easier life for his best friend?

Magali glanced up at the terskix nervously, then back down immediately to Shaldag. She'd only seen Hyun in passing, but at those times she wasn't seen as someone with a heart. On the contrary, as a matter of fact. But perhaps she did have those she cared about. Magali certainly did. She didn't know what she'd do without Nokra. She hoped things were going well for him in the cockpit.

“Parent,” Ashi corrected equally as casually, “My mother was executed. And father wants me dead after we duped him out of a few million qanta.” The drugs that were in her system were slowly wearing down and she was struggled to keep a straight face. “My wounds were from...before the attack. I'm on my way to officially becoming a part of the gang...Hyun and Shaldag saved me..”

Ashi looked up at Hyun, eyes wide, “But...the thing in the tunnels...He claimed to be after me. We can't lay this on Riola. Besides, he's with the pilot.”
