Time seemed to be collapsing in on Aron.
He knew that he'd been hurt, but not how or why or what it had felt like. He knew that he was sleeping and waking regularly, but again, not how or why. He thought he should stay awake. Hadn't he known that once? Someone had told him, Del or Saveron or someone. But he couldn't help it. He slept, and woke, and slept, and woke.
He sometimes heard voices, but were they from before, or after? Was he remembering the shouts before it happened, or were they shouting now?
Alieth: Officer down!
He wasn't sure. He thought it was Alieth's voice, but maybe not. Maybe it was Roshanara. Or Alora? Alora was here, wasn't she?
Alieth: ... can you hear me?
Kells: Hm?
No, too late, he was asleep again. He felt thirty, ragingly thirsty, and then he was asleep again. He felt so hot, as if his entire body was on first, and then he was asleep again.
Something brought him back to wakefulness again, something that seemed like it happened much later. He knew the sound. A comm badge's chirp. His badge. He tried to reach for it, but he couldn't move his arm. Strange.
Kells: Alieth. Alieth. Comm.
Alieth / Dar: Responses
He heard another voice, a different voice, and more commotion. He was asleep again. He dreamed of nothing. Then a great noise, and bright lights, and he was as awake as he'd been since before.
Kells: Thunderstorm?
Alieth / Dar: Responses
Again the comm badge. He heard a garbled nothing, and then someone asking something.
Rouiancet: =/\= ... Do you copy? =/\=
Copy. Did he copy? Had he copied? He didn't understand. Or was that what she was asking? Did he understand?
Kells: No.
Alieth / Dar: Responses
He slept again.
