Rose sat there, tense. Hell, she never let the Doctor get away his crap without stating her mind, she wasn't about to back down for Daniel Jackson.

She stood up. "Anyone think to ask us about this? The ones who were here, bein' held down, injected with stuff, tortured... they damn near raped Daisy. If the new girl's suggestion would work, I'm all for keepin' 'em in stasis or somethin' forever if we 'ave to."

Rose looked around for support. She wished the Doctor wasn't in the medical lab right now.

Or did he do that on purpose. He was tacitly backing Daniel as leader from the start. If he disagreed with Dr. Jackson, he wasn't going to argue it out in a big meeting. No, that wasn't like him. He'd argue with anyone and to hell with anyone who disagreed. Maybe he agreed with Daniel and didn't want to argue with her about it. Damn it. That she could see him doing.

Ami shuddered at Rose's outburst, and wished that she felt her friend's conviction. She squeezed Scott's hand and said in a tremolous voice, "I don't really care what happens to them. Throw them out, keep them, but ... as long as I don't have to ever see them again, I'm good with that."

"So, then we keep them in stasis, then, yeah?" Rose asked.

Ami shrugged. "As long as I don't have to ever see them, I don't really care one way or another what happens to them." Truthfully, the further away from the bunker they were, the happier she would be. She already slept easier knowing a good mile separated her from Ethan and Sakai.

Re: [Aiden] I wish I didn't understand det_aiden_burn October 18 2006, 00:00:17 UTC

Aiden look to Rose and Ami. She felt suddenly guily. So filled with anger her focus had been on punishing the bad guys, not healing the wounded. Doctors could only heal physical wounds she knew. She wish she didn't.

"They won't hurt you again. I promise you that."

[Rose] purplerhino October 19 2006, 11:37:14 UTC

Rose knew she wasn't going to get anywhere. Not really. It was obvious that minds were made up. And if the Doctor had absented himself... he had to agree with the descision. He was backing Daniel but bowing out for her sake. He was the bravest man she ever met, but a coward when emotional stuff got a bit tricky ( ... )

((OOC: Cut short because I need to get moving. Feel free to pick up.))

Okay, something was up here, May was sure of it. Useless or not, just letting the prisoners walk away (as opposed to dropping them off elsewhere in the jungle or tracking them) just didn't make sense, and Dr. Jackson had to realize that. But if he did, he wasn't telling, and the bickering was getting annoying.

She turned her attention to the others in the room as Rose sat down in a nearby chair with a huff, holding a hand to the bridge of her nose. May looked at her with sympathy, thinking the arguing was probably giving her a headache too.

But then Rose suddenly doubled over, squeezing her eyes shut and toppling to one side. May jumped up, barely managing to catch her before she hit the floor.

[Ami] fikgirl October 19 2006, 15:03:20 UTC

As the bickering grew, Ami focused her full attention on Daniel. Normally the man was hard to read, his shields were stronger than most and when she focused on him, she received an image of glittering water or a bright white aura. Not so today. Today his emotions and thoughts blared brightly and loudly, and when she focused on him, it was hard not to pick up on what he was thinking and feeling.

He had a plan. After all this time under his leadership, one would think that her fellow castaways would realize that - but they didn't. Apparently a few did, like Jack Harkness and Jon Murphy, but everyone else wanted to argue and debate. Even Megabyte recognized that Daniel hadn't gone off the deep end.

Normally in her state, Ami wouldn't have skimmed the surface, allowing the thoughts to roll off of her, but Daniel was broadcasting so much that all she had to do was focus on him and she knew what the plan was. He was planning to use DHARMA's own arrogance against them ( ... )

[Scott] starborn_scribe October 19 2006, 16:02:25 UTC

Scott had deliberately kept quiet during the debate. Most of it was pointless. Despite how wrong it seemed to let the "staff" go, it made sense. Ripley could follow them if she wanted. The bunker would be attacked no matter what was decided here. Too many of the DHARMA people had escaped. Strategy wasn't Scott's forte, and he was too emotionally invested in the prisoners because of what the bastards had done to the women to trust his own conclusions. So he simply listened and kept an eye on Ami's physical well-being ( ... )

[House] lost_mckay October 19 2006, 14:16:48 UTC

"Yes, and if you read the study with modern day application, you'd know that college students were more than happy to be the sadistic bastards as guards. A two week experiment had to stop after only six... count 'em, six days. Detective." The good doctor looked around the room, that unamused smile still painting his unshaved visage. "Kangaroo court, anyone? Or how about right to the firing squad ( ... )

[Mayday] Medic? weirdweb October 19 2006, 17:50:32 UTC

((OOC: Don't know if Rose is still conscious - I'm assuming it's a Bad Wolf attack too - but I'm keeping it vague. Hence, no mention of standard first aid procedures, which May would know but it depends on how Rose is reacting.))

May noticed Ami's distress, but only peripherally; she was too focused on Rose and keeping the other woman from hitting her head on the floor. Since Rose had been more than halfway out of the chair by the time May had caught her, she opted to ease Rose down to the floor, running through the immediate first aid steps she knew. "Rose? Can you hear me?"

"Move, people!"

She looked up as House approached, suddenly all business. He'd switched from snark to serious in under a second. Well, he was a doctor, and if he knew what he was doing it didn't matter if he was a jerk.

[House] The doctor is in lost_mckay October 19 2006, 18:13:31 UTC

Know your ABCs. Kindergarten teachers sang the song in their classroom, and the medical profession easily and happily co-opted it. Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Take care of those, and the rest, well, was up to the professionals... in the best case scenario.

"Move.. let me through..." House had read this one's file, most definately. There was stuff going on in there that he'd only read about in the random sheets coming from K. Erik Drexler's office out in Washington in the late '90s. 'Unbounding the future', he'd written. Nanotechnology is on the horizon, he'd said. No one could have dreamed this up ( ... )

[Blaise] Right here! sinanju October 19 2006, 19:09:48 UTC

Blaise moved in beside Dr. House, none too gently pushing his way through some of the gawkers. He knelt and slid his arms beneath Rose, surprised at the heat he could feel coming off her skin. He gathered himself and picked her up.

"Make way, people!" he called. "Your lab, I assume?" he said over his shoulder to House, and already ignoring whatever snarky retort House was certain to make.

"Somebody get the doors for me," he added, heading for the nearest one.

[Mayday] Right here! weirdweb October 19 2006, 19:26:46 UTC

Grateful for Blaise's intervention, May was up like a shot, nimbly ducking the crowd to get to the door and hold it open for Blaise and House to get Rose safely to the infirmary.

"Where's the Doctor?" she asked Blaise as he carried Rose out into the hallway. "I can go get him."

[House] Coming through lost_mckay October 19 2006, 19:44:05 UTC

Nooo... in this case, snark was not high on the list of House's things to do. Let Rose get comfortable, get her restabilized, then talk snark. Until then... "Yes. On the bed, shoes and socks off, shirt loosened." Nothing constricting.

House rose slowly and painfully, making sure that the sergeant had the young woman completely, putting what was probably an ineffectual arm under in the attempt to support just in case. It was more a 'just in case', and one that he knew wasn't really necessary. Still, it was what it was.

With a violent shake of his own head in the aftermath of his burst of speed in a vain attempt to get a grip, the medico on call began the slow path from the room, his hand rising in a dismissive wave, his voice called out as he left the meeting. "Carry on, carry on... don't mind us."

[Jack] purplerhino October 19 2006, 23:33:59 UTC

Jack had gone through military training, and the four years of academy required for the Time Agency. He knew tactics, and he knew about crowds and group mentality. Ripley was right, this was war. Daniel was making a sound military decision. He rather hoped the man had a way of implanting tracking devices. It would make the idea all the better. Besides, he wasn't advocating letting the real monsters go ( ... )

[Scott] starborn_scribe October 20 2006, 02:53:34 UTC

Ami was shaking off whatever shock she'd gotten from Rose, so Scott guided her out of House, Blaise, and Jack's way. He'd caught some of River's ramblings, as well. Those and the gold motes swimming across Rose's eyes chilled him to the bone. The Doctor needed to know right away.

/Damon!/ Scott 'shouted,' shielding the thought from Ami. The redhead didn't react, so Scott poked him telekinetically. Damon scowled and looked around who'd prodded him. Scott caught his eye and tried again. /DAMON!/

/What?/

/The nanites are active again. Find the Doctor and tell him. There's not much House can do for Rose./

OOC: In case anyone's wondering, Scott's not sure who knows about the nanites, so he's playing it safe.

[Damon] Getting the Doctor fikgirl October 20 2006, 17:10:55 UTC

Scott's words about Rose dismissed any annoyance Damon might have felt from the telepathic shouting and telekinetic prodding. He gave the other man a nod, and hurried from the cafeteria on the heels of House, Blaise and Jack. Realizing that he could make progress a lot faster if he didn't follow behind them, he ducked into the first room they passed.

After a moment of concentration, he fixed on The Doctor's location and teleported directly into the lab.

"Doctor!" Damon announced his presence without any preamble. "The nanites are active again. Rose needs you." All right, so the last probably went without saying, but he wanted to cover all bases.
