(OOC: Bit of a short one, I'm traveling so I wasn't really able to devote the attention to it that it deserves ...)


Thankfully, Kansz had understood Jania’s code and reacted quickly. Jania’s fear that they would have to fight their way out through a number of guards had also been unfounded, as it seemed like the guards were as distrusting of Kush’in’ik as she was. 


Kush’in’ik: Just move aside so I can give her the injection she needs. It’s to keep us -all- safe. 


Nis: You stay -away- from us. 


Most of the guards were glancing at their leader looking for advice, but he seemed unsure … until he finally raised his phaser at the doctor. 


Lead Guard: I suggest you back off, Doctor. Now.


Kush’in’ik: This woman is about to go into a fugue state and attack us all. Put your phaser down. You’re being absurd. 


But the other guards followed their leader, and soon all three were pointing at Kush’in’ik. Jania took a deep breath. She didn’t entirely feel relief, because she knew she could still be overcome by the drug at any moment … but at least Kush’in’ik seemed like less of a threat for the moment. 


Nis: That syringe has a chemical designed to induce cardiac arrest.


As soon as she said it, Kush’in’ik’s attitude changed from confident and nasty to panicked -- a dangerous place to be for someone like him. Suddenly, he grabbed Nurse Lawton and dragged her close, pressing her against his body. The needle came up and the tip pressed against her throat. She screamed but dared not thrash as he dragged her back to the doorway behind him. 


Kush’in’ik: You are violating quarantine protocol. I need to get out of here before the alien enters the rage stage. You are all putting this entire hospital in danger!


Nis: We can stay in quarantine all week, but not if you’re here. Let her go!


Lawton/JoNz: Response


Jania stood from the table, but lurched forward, feeling dizzy. She sat back down, watching as the chaos unfolded around her. Kush’in’ik took one more big step backward, dragging Lawton to the steel door he’d first entered at. With his foot, he kicked the door open and stepped backwards. 


Lawton/JoNz: Response
