Sato barely had a chance to examine the blaster Vandal had lent her when yet another stranger arrived. With disgust, she noted his words, his readiness and his intentions. Ignoring the pain of her injuries as best she could, she shifted against her better leg and dipped her head downward. "I am serving something higher than myself. Unlike you, outsider." She knew she was in no condition for anything fancy, so she played it straight, drawing and firing before Mr. Mohawk could have the chance to. "Send House Shador my regards."

Vandal and Sigurd hear the blaster fire and see Gammer spin backwards his shoulder struck by the Mandalorin's fire. Gammer curses himself for getting distracted by a pretty facemask. The old scouts pistols are up and return fire. He is triumphant striking with both blasters set on stun. (9 strain and 9 strain, minus soak so 6 strain added to previous 11 strain) his fire scatters her senses (critical average Scattered senses). "Don't mess with the old man." Gammer states standing over the downed Mandalorian.
Down the hall Sigurd and Vandal see the dead mandalorian warrior they moved to find was laying on the ceiling with a gaping wound to his midsection by a steel bar that has pierced his body and pinned him to the wall.

Vandal stared rather blankly at Gammer. This was the first time she was seen and the first time she had been seen completely livid. It became increasingly apparent when she raised her carbine. "I told you that I had this. I thought that implies that you don't follow me, and you don't say things that make me want to shoot you! You two, stand down and rendezvous with the rest of the team." She said through a clenched jaw, it was quite clear even with the modulation. "Blast, you just... just... Both of you, out. Now. Meet up with the rest of the team. I've got a rack of rockets on my back, so before I lose my temper and a firefight breaks out... let's just... let's just listen to the spoken order since it's quite clear you two won't follow implied ones." She snapped. "That means now. Both of you, out. Now! Last thing I need is you idiots stunning the sole survivor into last week. That means no touring the wreck. That means no recovering bodies. That means no helping me. If you can call this debacle help."
She removed her helmet and angled it so it highlighted Sato as she started to asses the state. "I swear. This is.... UNBELIEVABLE!" She roared, purple in the face with a bunch of veins running across the good side of her face, framed in shadow due to how she was positioned.

Stev quickly interjects "Woah there! Everybody, let's just calm down. Nobody has to fight anybody here, okay?" He turns to Ned'Ix, and in the calmest voice possible says "Your personal weapons aren't what I'm worried about. Whatever heat you're packing mounted to the ship is what I want to avoid. So, let's make a deal that helps everyone. I will allow you to recharge you ship, but only AFTER we investigate the underground city. We'll have the generator with us to power up other systems, so you know our deal's good. On your part, since it looks like you've managed to stay unaffected by the planet, I want you working with us to scour the city for information that will lead to the artifacts lying within as well as how to shut them down. When all's said and done, since the planet won't be causing any more problems, we'll look through your ship, disable your weapons, and let you go on your merry way. I'm sure the Veild-Danol have more than enough resources to fix them up when you report back. Would that make everybody happy?"
OOC: Everybody includes the rest of our team, so if anybody has another idea for how to deal with Ned'Ix, feel free to jump in. I just couldn't see a good way to have our team discuss the possibilities before talking to him, especially with the tension passing between us right now.

Gammer looks to vandel and replies,"Yes sir." He shakes his head and climbs back down the stairs. Sigurd?

Vandal regained her composure rather quickly, assessing the area and putting her helmet back on. After a brief pause, she grabbed the Mandalorian and her pistol, shouldering the sooner, and keeping the latter pointed forward. She began to search the ship for a sickbay. If anything of the sort existed, it likely had the equipment she'd need to help her condition. She wasn't remotely happy, and it showed in her stance.
((Sato incapped or just in shock?))

She is stunned a stimpack should bring her out. Sigurd is a doctor with a full medical kit. He could treat the temporary lame crit.

Vandal quietly sets Sato down and rifles through her straps to find the injector. She doses the Mandalorian while she's on her shoulder and then sets her down on the nearest available flat surface, resting the pistol down beside her. She removed some plating, only taking off enough to treat the most obvious injury. As one girl to another, she made it a point to preserve modesty. Her impromptu surgery made judicious use of Sato's knife, blind luck and for some reason, the same insane reason, the ridiculous amounts of adrenaline flooding her system that came through when in her 'Clutch' state. ((Poor Sato. Vandal's too livid to think straight.))Mechanics (Medicine)1 Triumph, 1 Success, 1 Advantage, 3 Threats (Actual); 1 Triumph, 1 Success, 2 Threats; (1P, 1A, 4D)Somewhere during Lydia's amateur surgery, she managed to patch up Sato's leg and stumbled upon the Burkomic Scalpel, which more resembled a hammer; but it was, in fact, much blunter. Smashing the swelling down was a terrible idea, but she missed her mark and smashed her own hand at any rate (3 strain inflicted on self), but at the very least, Sato would more than likely be walking soon, albeit in a great amount of pain. Nothing a liberal application of stimulants wouldn't fix. She applied bacta patches to the injury and briefly slipped another over Sato's heart, redressing the Mandalorian, putting her armor back on and eventually applying stimulants. For an amateur surgeon, Vandal seemed to have a good grasp of what went where. "...I'm sure she'll live." She murmured in all of her modulated glory. "Good timing, too. I was at that for--" She looked to her wrist, where her watch was, on the few occasions she went without armor. "I have enormous wrists." She noted.

Sato was awake a full minute before she bothered to lift her head. It was time spent staring at the ceiling in disbelief at the sheer revolutionary medical 'genius' that had just aided her. Finally, she sat upward and nodded to Vandal. "That's two I owe you." With a general shake of her head at the overall situation she found herself in, Sato glanced around, then back toward the trooper. "The others. Have you found them? Are they...?"

"You owe me nothing." Vandal couldn't bear to look at her. "You're the only one I arrived in time to save. Four lifesigns. Two flatlined as I got into the ship, the other as I pried you free." She murmured, her modulation lowered to mask little more than her voice, seeming to have some genuine compassion for a moment. "I brought you out of shock with another dose of stimulants, though the superficial damage is rectified, there was the possibility of some temporary loss of coordination from your armor's native conductivity and the stun blast Gammer used on you. Gammer being the creepy scout. Your systems were probably fried in the crash, if the lack of holograms from weapons were an indication. Take my sidearm and watch the exit while I go find your friends. You're going to probably end up wanting to get to a loo first, though. From experience, ending shock with stimulants tends to cause nausea once you reach an equilibrium." She tilted her head.
She turned away, establishing a link for comms. "This is Vandal to all Republic forces in the area. I've secured a Mandalorian survivor but I have to conduct a sweep of the ship per SOP, they have been instructed to secure the exit and keep any fauna and scavengers out while I secure the bodies of the rest of the crew for identification and... well... we'll need to send them home. That's just the way it is. At any rate, the Mandalorian is both responsive and armed. I don't feel like committing to any more amateur surgery, nor do I feel like shooting anything that isn't mission relevant. Do not attempt to approach the ship, I repeat do not attempt to approach the ship." She said over comms.

The words settled in. No expression was visible behind the helmet, yet none was necessary. All that needed to be conveyed was the smallest downward tip of a nod and an open hand to accept the blaster. She lingered only long enough to overhear the last of what Vandal said, then made her way to the exit. She positioned herself to one side, using her knee to steady her aim and the hull itself as a degree of cover.

Over the course of the next few minutes, Vandal slowly but surely began to use her lights to trace blood, and blood to trace bodies. She made it a point to start from the nose of the ship and work her way out from there. It was grim work, but she had to do it.
Well, someone had to do it.

Vandal and Aren find one crewman after another that where thrown or crushed in the vessels crash. They treat each with the care and honor due a warrior. This was not a way for warriors to die. Falling from the sky helpless.
Ned'Ix and Stev's group turn as Gammer and Sigurd return from the crashed ship.
"Sergeant found a survivor and wants a little alone time with her," Gammer states, "Just to have a full report the sergeant gave the unknown alien a weapon and the unknown alien promptly shot me with it. So she seems like the average recruit we get on this ship. If you need me I'll be drinking off my pain on that rock over there."
Ned'Ix looks at Stev,"Your crew shoot at each other? I'm glad I did not join."
Seeing no one is resisting Brophar brings the Muvon down between the two ships. The entry ramp lowers and Gorak and Unda are standing on the ramp with weapons ready.
Blu contacts Stev over his comm,"I have the turret ready for anyone who acts out of mission objectives."

There was something clinical and detached about how she dealt with the duty, and yet oddly respectful. Each body she carried was sat down outside the ship, but not posed, wrapping the wrists and ankles together with bits of wire found inside to keep the bodies from breaking apart after rigor mortis set in. That she bound them so expertly had a few grim implications about her own history with dealing with the dead. At any rate she made it a point to keep a running count, detached as she was, she was determined to offer the Mandalorian a semblance of closure, and at the very least prevent her friends from being picked apart by scavengers.
