A Very Short SOS: text; 5/22

[notglitching]

Data request. Repair: mental functions (users).

[Is somebody taking the time to be comprehensible? Not today! A second later, one word appends itself to the end of the mass text.]

Urgent.

You want to know how to... know how to repair someone's- what happened?

[Telling is definitely not Rinzler's specialty. The camera turns on to the familiar background rumbling of Rinzler's sound. And...]

[ The slumped form of someone Luke may recognize leans against the wall in frame as Rinzler turns the camera on. Wash is probably in a better state than before the program dragged him back through the Alter-Ingress, but that's not to say he's remotely okay.

Head rolled to one side, leaning toward his shoulder, he's still fully armoured with the exception of his helmet. His body doesn't shift once the camera is on him, rather he sits there in silence, staring off in a very out-of-focus way. The only movement he gives is slight, all in his lips, just occasionally murmuring to himself. For the moment, it's too quiet to make much sense of.

The answer out there, the camera shuts off again. ]

[The video feed turns off. Rinzler's summary isn't long in replacing it.]

Glitched.

[t65]

That's not what- humans- we'll talk about that later. Rinzler, get him to medical. Urgent.

Voice

[BB sees this and there are likely dozens of various responses and questions that can be said and used to this, but most wouldn't make sense to someone who is of code and structure than can be fixed and removed easily.]

There's nothing simplistic or a quick fix in regards to the mental stability of a user. Being there, and keeping them safe are important steps until the problem can be diagnosed and a regime of therapy and moral support can be set up. Drugs may also be needed if the mental imbalance is a chemical problem.

Stay with them and keep them talking to you until help arrives. If they can remain focused on you they may calm down and be reasonable if they are panicking or too emotional to think clearly.

[Being there? Success. Keeping safe? Very thoroughly attempted. From Rinzler's vague understanding, drugs qualify as minor edits and, whether warranted or not, are definitely not his domain. It takes a beat to push back the surprising flare of bitterness at talking (because he couldn't and he'd tried and...) ]

Not responsive. Clarify: 'help'?

[Who is he supposed to be waiting for?]

Is the user physically compromised in anyway that would take away your ability to move them safely? If not then moving them to medical aide would also be advisable if you are in a place that could become dangerous or if you are not certain that any aid that may respond to this message could easily find you.

If no one medically trained responds to this message then you may have to take the patient to help instead of waiting for help to come to you.

The very fact you are remaining with them even if they did not respond positively to your presence is good. Even subconsciously it could be aiding them, despite no outward sign of such. Just keep an eye on their health and note any sudden changes that way an informed report can be given to the medic that will oversee the user you are with.

What's happened? What's going on with them?

[whoami]

[ If it wasn't an S.O.S. Sam might not have tried to reply at all. But if this is serious enough for Rinzler to just toss out there... ]

I'm no expert, but head for med bay as fast as you can? Assuming you mean someone on the planet.

In transit.

[whoami]

You know that that users are different, right? They aren't downloaded, or written. "Repair" might not go how you think it's gonna go.

[ventifact]

repair how?

[notglitching]

Not working.

[ventifact]

yes that's generally why things need to be repaired
but what exactly isn't working?

[sickbays]

God, could you be any more cryptic?

If something happened, get who or whatever it is down to medbay.

[notglitching]

Trying.

[To get there, not... to be cryptic. Not that Rinzler's really just proving anyone's point there. The dig at his communication stings more than a little, but it's not what matters now.

The flight deck looms ahead out the transporter's forward window. Rinzler will be at the medbay in minutes.]

[sickbays]

[ McCoy'll be waiting for him there, hovering as close to the entrance as he could without making it seem too obvious he was expecting someone. It's an agonizing experience standing around like this, playing out every worst case scenario in his head.

Maybe he should have asked the man for his location. Nothing could have happened to him or the patient along the way, could it? The doctor frowns down at the scanner he has in his hand, eyeing the doorway. ]

TEXT

[squadgoals]

[Troubling. Mental functions (users)... probably something psychological, not physiological.]

Take them to the med bay first.
Where are you?
Do you need assistance?
Did it accompany physical trauma?

[It's worth taking a chance with a question dump, if the questions are straightforward enough.]

text;

[notglitching]

[Straightforward works. There being only so much speed one can get from a transporter, Rinzler even has the time to answer.]

In transit to Moira, medbay.
Assistance required for repair. None for transport.
No observed physical damage.

[squadgoals]

[Lord. Now's not really the time to explain that brains can't really be patched up like that.]

Is the user in a safe place? Prevented from doing injury to themselves? No seizures or spasms?

If it's a yes to all of those, you're doing about as much repair as any of us could do. Getting them to the med bay is your best course of action. Do you know who you're helping?

[Glitch it, it's not like his duplicate to ask for help. This has to be serious.]

I can't help with... repairing a User, but I may be able to assist you otherwise. What do you need?

[notglitching]

Repair (user).

[Sorry, Tron. The current problem's pretty specific.]
