*Roland sits at the grave, Oy sits next him.*

*Billy looks embarrassed but does as she says*

I miss it too...

*Amelia is sobbing in Yarricks chest*

*Billy finishes his plate and sits there waiting for Jordan to eat hers*

*Smiles*

I'm not hungry. Don't worry.

*Looks at the plate and smiles*

Come to think of it, I usually only eat for the flavour and to fit in. I don't have to eat...

*Sees look*

Yeah...I went a full three months without eating because I was stuck in the Deserted Island.

*Marla walks by*

Sorry... I thought it was more dignified that soup and a straw...
And ... Well I'm sure Jordan would want to help...
*pretty nurse winks and walks past disappointed *

*doing rounds checking on everyone in the med bays*
*goes into office to rest*

Wake me if there's more casualties...

*Billy looks concerned*
Billy: That's... that's not normal...
*Remembers something*
Billy: When you were sleeping... I saw something. *Explains about glowing eye*

*Ra yells to Marla*
Ra: HERE'S ONE! *Carrying Horus over his good shoulder and staggering slightly*

*Tilts head*

The feth? How was I glowing...

*Opens eyes wide*

They glowin now?

*Faint text box is visible*

*Billy stares*
Billy: No, but there's... it's like a text box... it's in your eye...

*Looks confused*

*Picks up a mirror and looks at it*

Oh my gog...You're not joking...

Billy: Why would I joke about this? *Looks worried*

I don;t know...

*Places mirror down and looks confused*

It's...Probably nothing...Maybe it's just the light?...

*Closes eyes and re-opens them*

*Text box is still visible*

*Billy sits up and swings his legs over the side of the bed*
Billy: No, it's still there. *Looks increasingly worried*

*Marla*

Not even 5 minutes guys....
Please....

*checks Horus our and begins work*
He,s a right mess...
Nurse... Bandages, iv, pain relief and some coffee...

*keeps working*
I'm gonna be pretty burned out if we have 3 days straight combat operations and surgery, and you guys are a right mess.

Your not even healed from last battle.
Our defence lines are a wreck, my artillery needs new barrels and breach's, there ruined, bored smooth and all need replacing.

Our mega bolter needs reloading and that's days work.
Gates wrecked, multiple breaches in the walls and the moats full of bodies. Clearing and repair. Few days min.


*outside cranes and crews and working on replacing the guns, and working fast as possible to begin the long job*
Ooc npc as needed.

*Pushes Billy back down*

No. You need to rest. It's probably nothing.

Ra: I know... *Smiles weakly* Sorry we couldn't follow your orders.


*Billy tries to struggle but doesn't know ho to do so with one arm*
Billy: I'm fine! It's you I'm worried about! Not needing to eat and having things in your eyes isn't normal!

*Roland and Oy hold a vigil over Jakes grave.*

Roland: Time flies, knells call, life passes, so hear my prayer. Death is speechless so hear my speech.. This is Jake, who served his ka and his tet. Say true.
May the forgiving glance of S'mama heal his heart. Say please.
May the arms of Gan raise him from the darkness of this earth. Say please.
Surround him, Gan, with light.
Fill him Chloe with strength.
If he is thirsty, give him water in the clearing.
If he is hungry,give him food in the clearing..
May his life on this earth and the pain of his passing become as a dream to his waking soul, and let his eyes fall upon every lovely sight.. let him find the friends that were lost to him, and every one whose name he calls call his in return... This is Jake, who lived well, loved his own, and died as ka would have it. Each man owes a death. This is Jake. Give him peace.

*Roland slowly rises*

Roland: Goodbye Jake. I love you.

*Roland gets up, and walks a few paces from the grave, before collapsing from his wounds. Oy runs over and nudges roland with his snout and begins to whine.*

I know, but you can worry about it later. When you have two arms.

*Holds Billy down easily*

You don't have much choice...

*Scatty looks over from where she was calming Morrgan down*
Scatty: Oh no... ROLAND! *She and Morrigan run over and Morrigan lifts him to take him back to the room*



*Billy doesn't look happy about it but accepts none the less*
Billy: I know... but you should still get yourself checked out by a doc or something

I will...Just stay here...

*Stands up and looks around*

You think Cal is awake?

Billy: Maybe, I wouldn't bet on it though

*Nods*

I'll check.

*Goes off to see if Cal is awake*

*orkmart staff, skitari, PDF and others are all working together to repair the rooms defence lines, remount guns, rebuilt walls and clear moats *

*Marla is still working o. Finaishing up on Horus and the engineers are busy with dozens of trucks, cranes, dunp trucks and diggers working away with new battlements bodges with dragon bone and wrecked tank hull sections*

*marla*
Ok. Not much longer, but this time you need to rest. Your both barely standing right now. ..

*Horus nods weakly and limps off to his room. Ra follows suit*

*Jordan finds Cal looking exhausted and treating Roland while Scatty and Morrigan watch close by*
Morrigan: Jordan, how's Billy?

*Marla goes to crash in her office*
