[FTL RP, WE'RE BACK, REBOOTED!] The Rogue Cadets

[BrenTenkage]

Lux shrugged "I wouldn't know too much about the Engi condition. Your people have been closer allies to them than us Humans."
She flopped down on a nearby bunk and sighed, removing her boots and lying back. "Jake however concerns me more. We've all been hit hard by loss but the way he's acting... it's like he's a father demanding that the doctors save his son over everyone else in the medical ward..."
Her smile broke yet again "But I guess I'm thinking out loud. Mother would tell me all these stories about her residency and the people she had to put up with..."
And yet it wasn't one of her patients that killed her...

She thought back to that incident. She was pulled aside from the mail call to receive a personal message from Federation Fleet Command. She had expected her father, Captain Douglas Jensen to let her know he was coming home soon and it was going to be a momentous occasion. But instead it wasn't him at all, but Admiral Tully in person who was waiting in the Communications Booth. Tully had informed Lux that her mother was serving onboard a medivac cruiser when the Rebels ambushed it and overloaded the engines. No survivors were reported and no prisoners were taken by the Rebels.

"Your father was escorting that cruiser when it happened. Normally in these circumstances, we'd send him home to help you with your loss but we need him and his skills as a Captain on the front lines" Tully explained.
And that was that, Luxanna Jensen was alone...

She looked to Bren again, resuming her cheery attitude "I wonder if there's still some time to bring one of those horses onboard?"

I'm assuming at the start of the war, Admiral Tully is just a low-ranking Admiral who soon becomes Fleet Admiral after the Rebels eliminate all the others.
And considering how Admiral Tully visited the Academy in person to talk to Lux, word probably got around fast that the news wasn't good...

"How would you feed it?" he asked

"And would you clean up after it and give it all its shots?" he asked in a joking tone, clearly not trying to be mean but lighten the mood.

"Really I think I would be more concerned about getting supplies, we only have enough food to last us 4 days, water 2, and while I would suggest we might try harvesting them, no idea if they are edible, or if they wouldn't just fight back. Plus I doubt you'd want to do that, so that plan is out" he said

"This is Captain Jake Collins, to all hands," Jake said into the PA, in an almost bored fasion. "Crewman WOL is preforming a nanite transplant..." Jake looked at the screen in front of him. He had searched the Robin's Species Index Database for 'Engi Nanite Transplant Procedure.' The data was accompanied by images and diagrams, which Jake found quite disturbing. "We will give them privacy. Please do not enter the medbay until further notice. According to my research, our new guest should stabilize within the hour, and we will inquire the information he knows about my father and WOL."

Then Jake notice Kyrie, and that she was asking for any info on the Engi. Jake sighed. "All I know is that the guy mentioned he had a message from my father. There was now mistake, he said my full name. Hell, it could mean that my father is alive somewhere out there. I must know what that message is, wether he's living or dead. And if it has some relation to WOL and the Research Station. I'm sorry if I flipped out, I just need some answers."

Once WOL and Bren returned to the medbay, Lux said to Jake, trying to stay positive and happy "My mother said that the process Engies use to heal each other is... very personal. She and the Academy never did tell me the proper procedures for a nanite transplant. I'd be violating the Hippocratic Oath if I did excessive harm; I'm a doctor not a surgeon."

It's not the ancient Hippocratic Oath she follows, but a more "Space Hippocratic Oath" where you're allowed do some harm but nothing like major operations. As in "Don't kill or permanently cripple the patient in order to save them" kind of oath.

She removed a datapad from her bag "Before you tell me that I've technically violated my oath to the Federation, I will be studying up on Engi anatomy so I know I'll be going against my beliefs for the right reasons."
She looked to WOL "You're a better expert on this than I would be."
She went to follow Bren to the crew quarters.

Remember the Engi mating event on how no one knew what it was and only the Engi would... well try to avoid telling you what it was all about? I'm assuming the Engies really didn't tell the Federation about how they all work.

"Right, of course, whatever I can do to help." responded WOL before Lux left the room. WOL received a good education. Although he was technically home schooled, living in a research vessel was nearly the same as living in school all day, every day. One of the things he was taught was his cultural heritage, the history of his species, and one their many private customs.

The engi's had many traditions unbeknownst to other species, the ability to heal each other was one of them. WOL took some time to prepare himself before preforming the process, he had read about it often and in detail, but had never had any practical experience.

WOL was finally prepared, and placed his hands on the wounded engi's chest. After a few moments of nothing happening, the silvery flesh of the wounded engi assumed a Semi-liquid form and began trickling up WOL's arms. Once it completely enveloped both of his arms, the process truly began.

It was described in text as being incredibly strenuous to both parties, WOL thought that he could be prepared to handle it. He was wrong. It felt as if his soul was being torn apart by two opposing forces, the texts said that during this process, you musn't resist the pain, you must instead give yourself up to it, or else it could severely damage both engis.

So he did, he let the process carry itself out, and just when he thought that he was close to death, his arms were freed, and WOL collapsed on the floor. WOL was on the verge of passing out, but he forced himself to stay awake. He checked on the patient, he was passed out, presumably because his body was currently in shock after experiencing such severe changes, but his wounds we're now completely healed.

WOL let out a deep sigh, and shuffled towards the nearest bed to rest. He sat on the edge and waited for someone to come check on them.

"Just as I said to the Captain, it's every little girl's dream to have a pony... only to have that dream then crushed as you get older and realise that you can't have ponies onboard starships" Lux said to Bren. She gave out a laugh and went to her studies... it was some time later when WOL came walking in at a slow pace, probably seeking rest or a charging port. "You alright there? I guess whatever you did back there really tires you out" she said with a smile "I appreciate your help. I am not well-versed in the physical health of the Engi platform. A lot of complicated machinery and organic materials; how does a doctor manage to learn all this?"

WOL turned to Lux "It's no problem, really, what matters is that you tried your best to help the patient, it's a matter of luck that a engi just so happened to be on board, isn't it?

After a few hours, it was time. Jake proceeded into the medbay, where the Engi lay, conscious. He signaled the others to come join him.

"I am Captain Jake..." Jake started, but the Engi cut him off.

"Collins. I know. You're Jake Collins. Thank you for saving my life... er... Captain." (The Engi had undoubtedly noticed Jakes age, and his lack of any Federation mission patches or insignia.) "I would've died in that crash if it wasn't for your... youthful crew. Now tell me, how did you become a Federation Captain so young."

"If you must know, we stole this ship from the Federation Memorial Center," Jake replied, looking down at his toes.

"You stole... The memorial center?" The Engi replied, in disbelief. "Is this the Robin A???"

"Yes sir, it is,"

"How... but... what... the... how???" The Engi stammered. "You children got the Robin flying? Incredible..."

"Sir, what is you name?" Jake asked, internally marveling at how impressive their theft was.

"Duston Hooves," He replied.

"You said you had a message from my father? He is dead,"

"No Jake. Your father is very much alive."

What do you guys think: Should we enlist someone to play Duston?

I personally believe that he Duston should be an NPC. Wouldn't be very rp friendly if someone had to play a character that needs to follow a set path in the storyline.

Maybe one of the four or five "guests" that the forum says have been browsing this want to.

Bren sighed as he rested on the bed, 'So when we get some spending cash, think we could improve our weapons. These old lasers aren't gonna do much in a real fight, just 1 laser shot each, not asking for a Glaive Beam or something...but I'd kill for something to burn out a pirate" he said to no one in paticular in the crew bay

When it comes to money in this RP/world, I see two forms of currency, Federation Credits, which can be spent on Federation stations or planets, or plain ol scrap for every where else, some places prefer one or the other. Thats how I see it.
