Flesh Wounds

Chapter Thirty "Lackadaisical workers"

Nick Pov

"-and over there is the bed that I spent three days on!-" The Yellow one continues and I sigh to myself. This was my decision. God damn it.

"Hey! How's it goin' in here?!" 34 peaks his head around the corridor and then asks loudly.

I mouth a 'Please, save me'.

All he does is nod. But then disappears around the corner.

I let out another sigh, "Damn it..."

"Okay, now what supplies do we have here?" I ask looking back at them reluctantly.

"Well I've made an whole entire inventory list for such an occasion." The Blue one announces, then clears her throat, "So as I've listed the following: 101.12 fluid ounces of Biomedical Foam, 81.04 fluid ounces of pure alcohol, 13 nonperishable tablets of the strongest pain numbing stuff they've got on the market, well at least on the legal market, 23.5 inches of gauze, and, your loyal medical staff of five." She finally finishes, after ranting for about thirty seconds.

Barely understanding, but slowly trying to, I answer a little dumbfounded, "Okay."

"Soooooo, how shall we begin huh?" This time, the Purple one questioningly asks in another feminine but deeper voice.

"Move the gurneys to the whole left side, then-"

34 Pov

"Okay, listen. You'll stay here and help, well try to help, get some soldiers set up."

"Sure. I think," 5000 says turning off and walks away and into the Barracks where Yang is also located.

"Okaaay. Alone at last," I tell myself and turn around continuing down the corridor to the main HQ.

After some time of strolling I make it to the middle of the whole base. There's a huge hangar door that opens up to let soldiers and other different units in, and let them out. There's stairs that's on both sides that lead to the roof, and that lead to a room hanging from the top of the ceiling.

Climbing up the stairs I take a turn and into the space of the room. There's holograms floating around everywhere in here, there's a table full of holograms that's covered in papers, and a cool looking chair for a leader or a Commander.

So, on instinct I sit down and rest myself. Then the holograms intensify, some beep and flash red.

I tap one of the flashy red holograms and it zooms into a camera's view of the, Barracks I believe.

I lean in and watch...

"One- One second," 5000 says looking down at his phone and types a few things in. Then putting his phone away he asks, "What do yah need?"

"Freakin.. Help me pick up the big crate of weapons. And move it to the unboxer thing they've got over there," Yang tries to explain to 5000 while she sounds utterly annoyed and agitated.

"Ehh, what's in it for me?" 5000 asks leaning against the large crate.

"I-will-punch-you-if-you-don't-help-me-move-it-right-now," Yang threatens so fast that even I'm still trying to decipher what she said.

"Geez okay. You could've asked politely though," 5000 comments while picking up the box, with incredible ease because of some of the suit modifications I made for his armor.

I yawn and switch cameras. It switches to the Garage cam.

"-but why is there six pedals if there is only four directions?" One of the ODSTs ask while they sit in the cockpit of a Scorpion with the top open.

"See. A tank is complex because, it can drive in any direction, the pedal on the far left is the accelerate, the one on the far right is the the brake and reverse. Now the D-pad of pedals in the middle work as the direction of the acceleration," Sparky is on the side of the cockpit looking down at the soldier.

He's trying to explain how to successfully pilot a tank.

I switch to the next camera.

Oh hey its me! I look around. But. I don't see a camera?

I lift my arm into the air: Nothing happens.

I change the camera again. Same viewwwww.

I lift up my arm once again. Okay now its tracking. Must've been lagged or something like that. Or?

I change back one. The screen shows the same room, now no ones in the chair- then the screen flashes and shows me in the chair.

I move my shoulders a little uneasy but I can see my action on the camera so I guess that's good.

"Hm. And I'm gunna be stuck here a week too."

I switch the camera one more time.

The Medical Bay. Kinda what I expected though. Oh well.

Now I can just watch Nick suffer with the other doctors. Heh, sucks to suck.
