Having come down after some others, and intent on helping H'isll down so the machine would remain intact, he looked over his shoulder towards Sai. "It's in the nature of older folks to be overprotective of youth. Even Klingons occasionally tend to be hesitant to let people make their own decisions, even with our cultural focus on seeking out hardships to overcome. It's not a reflection of yourself. You did a brave thing, coming in here first without further hesitation." He could appreciate the bold and the brave, as a warrior himself.

"Starfleet appreciates initiative, and I love impulsiveness, but that won't mean much if that possibly blows our cover... just think carefully next time. Chaos is at our side now."

The machine loomed ominously above; both helpless and all powerful at once. It could kill them if he wanted to. It could rip their limbs off. But what fun would that be? It wasn't a god. It was a machine. Khanwi, naturally, was the target. Twisting around his limbs, sharp points digging barely into his chest, pressing him into the ground. All the rest of the wires tightened. "You think you are above me. That digging into wires and circuitry will save you." ... "How pitiful."

It definitely wasn't the worst pain he's ever felt in his life, being stabbed multiple times still took the crown, but boy did it sting. Still, he was conscious and alert - his head turning sharply in the direction of Sai's yelp and the clatter of her phaser. "Nuh-- fucker," he blurted, picking up the phaser and also reaching out to the cadet by some instinct, maybe in attempt to help or soothe or both. "You're alright, you're alright--" His finger curled around the phaser's handle, and he aimed it at the mass of wires - time to do some damage while he can.

They had learned in their tactical classes that if they were to be in a situation with a wounded ally, It'd be best to assuage them of worry. Four never had an opportunity to do this until now. "Do not worry. Pain is irrelevant. Your wound and all negative symptoms stemming from it will subside in time." Four said in their monotone voice. The attempt was there at least.

"Plug it IN, PLUG IT IN!" Five shouted over the noise, severing the wire currently kabobing Verza from the computer. Fuck. Fuck!! "We need to get Eventide and get him and Evoras into surgery!"

Brave. But stupid. Khanwi hoped the young man would be okay. "Being trained on war, but never learning that there are no true winners. There are always losses on all sides, and nobody comes out better for it. Let's make this a teaching moment." He watched Maya retrieve the box, and decided to create some chaos. He broke the console open, and analysed it, trying to find some fun things to break while not inhibiting their ability to put the dude in the box.

“PLUG THE DAMN THING IN AND STOP IT!” She said as she pulled at her wires, still biting them. The wires digging into her skin leaving deep red gashes on the grey scales.

Oh, if only he was present to witness his chief officer's and friend's distress - the Romulan would probably do everything in his power to help her, be it shooting the wires more, or staunching the bleeding, or offering a shoulder to lean on. Unfortunately, they got attacked at the same time, and Saren barely had enough time to react to being lifted, eyes going wide and lips curling for either a scream or a curse or both, before everything suddenly became a blur. There was the sensation of impact, crushing, followed by the second hit not too long after that, as his body fell to the ground, limp.

Fun things to break. Cameras. Microphones. Voice box. Taking away everything until there was just an eye on a screen, frantically bouncing around like it was SAYING something, SCREAMING, pleading for mercy, maybe, but— Nothing came out. AZRAEL's screen went dark. In its place, a violet loading bar. The wires went limp as the lights flickered and died. UPLOADING... 50% COMPLETE 67% COMPLETE 74% COMPLETE

Evoras looked to where her hand used to be and very quickly decided that was logically speaking currently not the best place to look if she wanted to stay conscious. "The sentiment is appreciated, but you are not helping. Also 'in time' is really an awful way to say this." Her voice sounded strange in her own ears. "I have had serious injuries before." Oh... she was angry. She shouldn't be angry. Why would she be angry?

"ITS PLUGGED IN! WE PLUGGED THE FUCKER IN!" Maya declared as she raised her arms, victorious. That is before she quickly shoved her face right into the black screen, pressing it hard against it. "I'm going to be betting my latinum AGAINST you in basketball buddyyyyyyy!"

From the loud frantic scene suddenly interrupted by an eary calm, Jidol's eyes darted to the dark screen. Could this finally be it? Crashing from all the adrenaline, Jidol just sank to the ground not sure whether he wanted to laugh cry or cheer.

As the wires went limp, Maxson fell to the floor in a heap. He coughed and wheezed, clutching at his neck and making sure that he could breathe. He blinked away the water in his eyes and gently raised himself up to his feet, “Good…koff…work, Umali…someone…check comms…”

Kya fell to the ground in a heap, her skin blemished and cut up by the wires, her mouth bleeding from trying to bite her way free. “Keep the damn thing in.” She stood and looked to the machine. “You were a cruel god, raised by war, and yet now you suffer the final blow of any would be tyrant. Living with the humiliation of being a damn failure.”

Sgl. Khanwi Hetix | ENG BOT 13/10/2024 19:42
Khanwi did not know what that meant. He just let out a loud yell, a victorious war cry to celebrate their ability to get out of here. "Call the Eventide, I want to leave this planet," he said, leaving Maya to gather up the box while he gathered up the Trill dude, breaking off the wire going through him so he wouldn't remove it.

Four looked down to Evoras as they carried her. Silently attempting to approach the nearest medical officer. They heard the commanders reply and tilted their head. "We have found that we are not all too helpful outside of our existing function. We apologize for any uncomfortability regarding our social acumen. We currently are working on improving our algorithms for better responses. We would be very appreciative for any further feedback as it servers to increase efficiency and effectiveness of communications with all those around us. We were unaware of your previous injury record. This shall be noted, Commander. Is there anything else we may be able to do to accommodate you?" Four heard everyone calling on comms and attempted to do the same. "This is Four of Ten. We are holding one injured Commander by the name of Evoras. She requires surgery after she lost her hand. Eventide do you copy?"

Evoras had two people on her. H'isll and Five were with Verza. Ekhesai dashed over to Saren, untangling the wires from around him. "'sokay, you're okay," she mumbled out loud. Everything was too loud. There was blood on the ground. Her ears were ringing. At the same time, she couldn't hear over the sound of her own heartbeat. They— did it? It was over? (edited)

Vara'l rushed over to Four and the Commander. Once close enough to the stump he grabbed for whatever he had on him. He then ripped for enough fabric for a rough and ready attempt at first aid to slow the bleed. Then, he started on the attempt, a transport was forthcoming but first aid needed to start now he reckoned. "Hello Commander, we'll soon have you safe and sound on a med bed."

If he were to be totally honest, it’s times like these that made Maxson wonder what a desk job would be like. He grimaced at the sight of his own blood, lip curling. Just another day in Starfleet…

She slowly got to her feet with a breath, she kneeled and offered a quiet prayer to the prophets. “Please, offer all those who died here under that machine peace in death.”

Maya, very violently, pulled the box out of the box and raised it over her head. "Got it! things in the box now! let's go home! Is everyone alright?"

Holding Verza up, he was probably going to be beamed up as one of the first, and he was already surrounded by wounded and hurt people, so like, he wouldn't cackle about it, but he wanted to laugh. In trying to hold it in, his face turned into a contained grimace, unpleasant to look at but clear in the feeling it represented; glee.

She blinked that Four. "I did not say you were unhelpful. I said what you said was unhelpful." Oh... She was angry at herself. How illogical. She was most definitely emotionally compromised... and otherwise compromised as well. "I'm certain you will." There was a strange noise coming from her. She should logically most definitely not be laughing right now.

As he sat there on the ground, looking at the carnage in front of him. Everything flashed before him once again, he was going to need so much therapy after that. As he was on of the few uninjured one, he was probably going to get transported last, so he got up , leaned against a wall, closed his eyes and just tried to forget everything that happened.
