[The device comes on, but the picture is shaky for a moment just a blur of darkness, red, blond. The voice that speaks sounds nearly panicked, but there was some lingering control there.]

Jesus Christ you're heavy.

[The device finally settles on Alex's face. There is blood splattered across half of it, and on a great deal of his visible clothing. He's down to just his undershirt, and from the angle of the device, the peek of another forehead and chestnut hair can be seen leaning against his arm, the rest of the unconscious person completely out of frame.

Alex, to his credit, is doing his best to keep his shit together, despite the gravity of the situation.]

I need medical personnel to my location. I'm-- [He muttered shit under his breath, his eyes going over the device for a moment.]

I'm not sure where I am. I think on level three--fuck I'm all turned around. These devices have pinging abilities, right?

[He leans his head back on the dark of the bulkhead. He's got to hope for that. The maze is complicated and he's lost track in his attempts to get out.]

Erik Lehn--Magneto has been severely injured. I've done what I can to stop the bleeding. I don't--

[Alex looks off frame and blanches slightly.]

He's missing a hand, and I don't--don't know if you can save the rest. Idiot got ambushed by something. I didn't get a good look at it.

[If Alex hadn't been a creepy stalker, and followed Erik around, he probably wouldn't even be alive.

He closes his eyes, focusing on his breathing, and Erik's head is more apparent on camera as Alex shifts him, bringing him in closer.]

Just--I would really appreciate some help here.

[the_infiltrator]

I'm on my way. [Trying to track his location, looking for visual cues, lala...] You need to apply arterial pressure to stop the bleeding. Can you do that?

[redhotsummers]

I'm not sure which one to--

[Alex shakes his head, trying to focus himself.]

I got a makeshift tourniquet tight around his upper arm--the rest of it's too mangled to do much to.

[theyalldieforme]

I'll try and ping his communicator's location.

[culver]

alex are you okay what happened is he alive

[redhotsummers]

I'm fine, I'm fine.

He's alive--and he's going to stay that way.

[Passed out. Alex keeps watching his chest move up and down, making sure he stays alive.]

[goldshirt]

Medical's on it's way.

What the hell happened?

[see erik this is why we can't have nice things!!!!]

voice;

[redhotsummers]

I'm not sure--

[Alex snorts]

I'd been following him today, but not really close.

[Didn't want Erik to detect him.]

He'd decided to go into the bowels of the ship for some reason.


There was a scuffle, and by the time I found him, most of the damage was done.

[ not here!! ]

[psychometry]

[ Well, this is one dismemberment that definitely wasn't Quin's fault! Also Quinlan will be keeping an eye on this because he feels like he owes you an apology, Alex... ]

[ not here!! ]

[redhotsummers]

[;-; they need bro time yo]

[angerissues]

You've gotta be fucking kidding me. [ THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULDN'T GO RUNNING AROUND GOD WHY IS EVERYONE ON BOARD STUPID? ] Do you need help? [ He's not medical, but if there's something he can do... ]

video;

[redhotsummers]

Oh yeah cause this is such a laugh riot.

[Alex snorts, shifting Erik a bit closer to him again.]

Cameron's coming--I'd appreciate if you could grab some clothing and meet me in the medical area though? I don't want to put on scrubs, and I'm covered in blood.

[gothchicklit]

[ October's not usually one that's sensitive to blood but considering what happened back home (Phin's blood all over her, pooling all over the road, his lifeless body and how ghostly white he looked in contrast to the red) and the nightmares she's been having when she's been able to sleep for short time frames, this video makes her feel legitimately sick. Part of that, of course, might be because Alex is involved and even if he's an asshole, she is fond of him.

Since she's not medical and can't really do much to help - and also assumes medical's on their way already - she'll focus on something else. ] Are you okay?

video;

[redhotsummers]

Yeah--

--not my blood.

[He's freaked out, and really really hates to see this much gore (he'll have nightmares for days, again), but he's going to focus on his physical being, now. He didn't fail, Erik is still alive. It's a start and that's what he has to focus on.]

[voice]

[doc_pompous]

We have medical personnel en route. Do you know what caused the injury?

[voice]

[redhotsummers]

I think it was one of those beasts.

[Alex lets out a breath, sounding frustrated.]

I did my best to stop the bleeding but it's--

--it's a mess.

[voice]

[theyalldieforme]

Just get space in the medbay ready.

[not here]

[onsilksheets]

[Jesus, Alex. Be careful. Bela doesn't want you to be mangled or dead.]

audio;

[target]

Ever the fucking genius.

[back a couple of weeks and already he causing shit. good job, lehnsherr.]

You got this covered?

audio;

[redhotsummers]

Fuck you, I'm sure he had a reason.

[Erik had reasons for most of what he did, even if Alex didn't agree with them.]

Got others helping me do that, yeah.

video;

[lacksgrace]

[ Is he seeing this right? The reply is actually a little later than when this has taken place, but-- He still doesn't want to believe it. ]

Alex? What the fuck. [ Frustrated? More than. ] Did you get some help?

video;

[redhotsummers]

What the fuck indeed.

[Alex rolls his eyes. He's walking, now, the blood drying on his face.]

Yeah I got some help.

audio.

[helpmeguideit]

What the hell happened?

[ He's still annoyed but - he can't justifiably ignore this. ]

And I assume you've already gotten help.

audio.

[redhotsummers]

No I'm just sitting here with my dick in my hands.

[It's rude, angry, but Alex is stressed, pulled too thin. He's going to snap.]

Yes, people are helping. And I said--Erik got attacked.

[darkholme]

[ tiiiny bit in shock here like she's can't put together what she's seeing with what she's hearing ]

Where are you?

video;

[darkholme]

[ more insistant, like the first time didn't count because it was too quiet ]

Where are you?!

[ er oops we can also say this was after they got help and stuff, but she doesn't know if they're in the medbay or if medical came to them ]

video;

[ringbearer]

Alex?

video;

[redhotsummers]

[Alex gives a tight little smile.]

Hey Frodo.

video;

[stimulations]

[He's working, doesn't see the post until a good while after it's been made, and maybe that's for the best. He's no real use to the immediate situation, to the injured man or the potential threat left behind. But he also can't keep away from the whole thing, not when it's Alex involved.]

Are you still at the medbay?

[Simple and direct; he'll come to see him wherever he is, see that he's alright. Questions can be asked after that.]

video;

[redhotsummers]

Yeah. I'm going back to my room in a bit, though.

[Alex is in new clothing, at least. He looks tired, and really, if it's not one thing it's another lately.]

Swear I didn't come out to play hero this time.

Thanks.

Gimme a few days.
