**Kai:** [[Takes this as a backhanded compliment]] …Thanks.

**X:** So… they'd have to leave to get reinforcements? X: Então… eles teriam que sair para conseguir reforços? That's good. But there are still… what, twelve Caldwell Enterprises employees we have to worry about, not counting our group and the Fixer?

**Chen:** Sounds about right.

**Kai:** Turn here.

**X:** Okay. [[Pauses]] Heh. I'm kind of nervous we'll run into Security.

**Kai:** [[Drily]] We are Security.

**X:** ...Right.

[[SFX: Footsteps, elevator door, etc.]]

**X:** So, who's all left?

**Kai:** Uh… Bae, the pilot. Two Councillors. Their assistant. Ms. Moretti. And the Science and Engineering teams.

**Dani:** [[Lists them on her fingers]] Doctors Benitez, Skarsgaard, Adrisi, Pham, Ahmad-Miller, and Nakamura. Oh, and Dr. Keane, though I couldn't find her anywhere.

**Kai:** Mutiny protocol has them shut away in their chambers, so they shouldn't be a problem.

[[SFX: Ding, elevator opens. They step out.]]

**Dani:** Here -- turn left.

[[SFX: Footsteps; Chen groans in pain]]

**Kai:** Stand by.

[[SFX: Card swipe; negative beep. Another card swipe; another negative beep.]]

**Kai:** [[Grimly]] Uhhh. Thor's card isn't working. They must be on to her.

**Dani:** Here. [[She swipes her card]]

[[SFX: Door to infirmary beeps (positive), opens]]

**Chen:** [[Weakly, to Dani]] Thank you.

**X:** [[To Dani]] Yes... thank you.

**Kai:** Let's get him over to that --

**Dani:** Wait. That one's occupied -- looks like Dr. Nakamura. (He got welded, somehow…?) Try the one across from it.

**Kai:** X, help me with his feet --

**X:** Oof. There. Okay. We need a whole bunch of sterilized bandages, hemostatic sponges, an IV for fluids, something for the pain…

**Dani:** I'm on it.

[[Dani moves, rifles through some nearby drawers.]]

**Dani:** Here are the sponges. [[Throws some packets to X]]

**X:** [[Catches them]] Thanks.

[[SFX: Tears open the packets of hemostatic sponge]]

**Kai:** [[Alarmed]] He's unconscious.

**X:** [[Frustrated]] ...Ugh, I don't even know what some of this equipment does.

**Kai:** That's okay. We'll figure it out. Is there just a first aid kit we can --

**Dani:** [[Stage right]] Dr. Keane? !

**X:** [[Turns]] What?

**Dani:** [[To X and Kai]] She's over here, in this bed. She's unresponsive.

**X:** [[Turns]] Oh my gosh. What happened to her?

**Kai:** [[Sharply]] X, focus. We need to stop Chen from bleeding out.

**X:** Right. Okay. Dani, can you please hand me those --

[[SFX: Bulky thunk, background noises grind to a halt]]

**X:** Oh, __crap__.

**Kai:** They shut off the power to the infirmary!

**Dani:** But Dr. Keane is in here! And Dr. Nakamura!

**Kai:** [[Grimly]] Apparently, stopping the mutiny is a higher priority.

**X:** [[Deep breath]] Okay. We can still help Chen without power. Kai, put pressure there and pack the wound with the foam, please. After that, seal him up the best you can. Dani --

[[SFX: Intercom crackle as they bandage Chen]]

**Council Member 1:** [[Static-y, over intercom]] This is Councillor Van Gaal. According to the the Caldwell Enterprises Handbook of Branding and Conduct, section three hundred and twenty-four, article G-seven, mutiny is a corporate felony. Any Caldwell Enterprises employee attempting to mutiny will be swiftly subdued, imprisoned, and court-martialed.

**X:** [[To intercom]] Great, thanks! [[To Kai]] Okay. The seal looks solid.

**Kai:** I'm somewhat concerned about the Councillor's use of the word “subdued”.

**X:** Well, we're the security on the Enforcer One, right?

[[SFX: Squeaking of IV stand approaching]] |grincement||||

**X:** ...Right?? ?

**Dani:** [[Out of breath]] Here's the IV.

**X:** [[To Dani]] Good. Do you know how to...?

[[SFX: Intercom crackle]]

**Dani:** I can hook him up. Just make sure he's still breathing.

**Council Member 1:** [[Static-y, over intercom]] Of course, you already know this, but in times of corporate warfare, all felonies are punishable by -- |||||||||||||||||||délits|||

[[SFX: Gun charging interrupts]]

[[SFX: Gun blast. Intercom gives a final burst of static, wires hiss, and parts of the speaker clatter to the ground.]]

**X:** Punishable by __what__, Kai?

**Kai:** It doesn't matter right now. We need to get Chen stabilized, and then make our way back onto the Cavatica.

**X:** I feel like, once again, there is something you are neglecting to tell me.

**Dani:** The IV's good to go. Now what?

**X:** [[To Dani:]] Grab any antibiotics you can find, just in case. And is there a gurney we can use? [[To Kai, sharply:]] And Kai, what are they going to “subdue” us with? ||||||||||soumettre||

**Kai:** Remember what I said earlier about those sixteen A.I. fighters?

[[SFX: A sudden thud at the door. The vents along the ceiling begin to hiss.]]

**Kai:** [[Looks up]] Oh. Or gas will work, too. On you, at least.

**X:** [[Pulls the neckline of her shirt up over her nose and mouth.]] Dani, cover your nose and mouth, or better yet -- hold your breath!... Any way we can redirect those vents, Kai? Or are there oxygen masks anywhere?

**Kai:** On it.

[[SFX: Clattering of tiny glass vials]]

**Dani:** Here's a bunch of ceftriaxone -- I'm pretty sure it's an antibiotic. And there's a gurney under this bunk. And --

**Kai:** Oxygen masks. Here.

[[SFX: Kai tosses them the masks. They take them and put them on, and breathe.]]

**X:** [[Muffled behind mask]] Okay. We're going to be okay.

**Kai:** We just need to get back to the Cavatica. Stand back, and start transferring Chen onto that gurney.

**X:** [[Muffled behind mask]] What are you going to --

[[SFX: Gun fires at the shut door.]]

**X:** [[Muffled behind mask]] Ah. Okay. Good thing this mystery gas isn't __unexpectedly flammable__ or anything…

[[SFX: They set up the gurney, and load Chen onto it.]]

[[SFX: Sparking wires as Kai hotwires the door.]]

**Kai:** Get ready to hightail it back to the Cavatica.

**Dani:** [[Muffled behind mask]] Chen's strapped in.

**X:** We're ready.

[[SFX: Metal door screeches open manually.]]

**Dani:** [[Startled]] Oh!

**X:** [[Sounds relieved]] Hey! Chance! Good. I was worried -- [[Gasps]]

**Chance:** [[Shaking, nervous]] Sorry, guys.

**Kai:** Wait -- !

[[SFX: Gun fires; Sound of a heavy body falls to the ground. Sound of circuits shorting out.]]

**X:** Kai!

**Dani:** [[Simultaneously]] Kai!

[[SFX: Gun charging]]

**X:** [[Holds out hands]] Chance, wait -- !

**Chance:** [[Apologetically, as if trying to reassure]] Don't worry. It's set for stun.

[[SFX: Stinger]]

[[SFX: OUTRO MUSIC]]
