Triage

Lex watched Anna take the swabs from Jacoby, his eyes rolling back in his head before they fully left his grasp. Blood was already bubbling out of his nose, more weightless globs of it floating freely in the air from the wound on the back of his head. Poole’s form wavered a little in the air, his features still morphing without rhyme or reason.

She watched him intensely, waiting, hoping to see something familiar, perhaps even just a bit of Ayo to come to the surface. She needed confirmation…no, affirmation that her former pilot and object of affection was in there and she hadn’t simply seen what she wanted.

“Don’t you let him die, Poole.”

“I am doing everything I can, Red,” he said, more than a little ice clipping his voice. “But there is only so much I can do now, as Anna currently holds what little influence I previously possessed. With that said, the majority of the injury appears to be to his brain, which sounds pretty bad—and trust me it is, that collision really messed things around in here. But as the rest of him is relatively undamaged, and as his head is where I currently reside, it should be possible for me to at least keep him stable, while alternately working medical miracles in both Lana and Emiko’s bodies. Now come along, let’s be quick about our business before those precious little helpers die of old age.”

Anna nodded without word and hesitantly extended a hand, as Lex noted, towards her and not Soraya.

“Just place them anywhere in the nose or mouth. I will do the rest,” Poole said, now hovering over Lana. The technician looked paler than before, a sickly, dark pallor creeping around her eyes, nose, and mouth.

Lex reached out and accepted the second swab, Soraya bristling in response.

“I don’t feel right about this. Not one bit. Doesn’t anyone else feel like they should have the right to choose if this happens to them or not,” she said, as Lex turned and moved towards Lana.

“Did any of us really have the choice? Did any of us really know what happened?” Anna said quietly.

“Yes, we chose to be with Jacoby. Although we didn’t know about him,” Soraya argued, gesturing towards Poole with her head. “But, come on! What gives us the right? Just because it happened to us, it doesn’t make it okay to decide for them.”

“The right? What does that have to do with anything? They’re hurt, we have the ability to heal them…right here in our hands,” Anna argued, holding the cotton swab up in the light. “What is worse, that we have the ability to help them when they cannot speak, or that we have the ability to heal them and let them suffer or die?”

“It is more than just helping or healing them, and you know that, Anna. It will extend beyond whatever injuries they sustained and will be with them forever. Like we said before, he is an alien STD.”

“Ladies, I would normally scoff at the slander, but now is hardly the time.
