Commander Tangent

"Got it " Icarus said with a nod. He walked over to Blizzard, who seemed to be engaged in conversation with Tyra. He walked up behind him and checked his medical bag and equipment. Everything was mostly still there, so he should be good. He was also feeling strong, so that meant he should be able to use some of his protective spells, if Blizzard could keep him defended in a bad situation. This would be one hell of a story to tell if they got out o this place.

@@Chip Circuit, Icarus approached the group. He had been silent a long time, caught in his own thoughts and his own dreams. But the events that had transpired were crazy, and had been all too similar to the Sieges of Stalliongrad. "So, what shall I do Radiant ?" ICarus asked, speaking up for the first time in awhile.

"thank you " ICarus said, " It is custom made by bone shapers of Stalliongrad. they are expert craftsmen" Icarus explained as he continued to follow radiant. He listened to what the stallion had to say. IT was an odd situation, but he was sure this group was capable of handling the many possibilities that could arise from the current situation.

"One last Bolt" Icarus said, before aiming at the pony. He carefully made calculations in his head and fired at the dummy. As the bolt arched in the air, Icarus gave another big grin. The bolt impaled the dummy's other hoof, another good disarming shot. Icarus may not be the best fighter, but he could definitely defend himself from range if needed. He walked over and plucked the two bolts out of the dummy. He went back over to were Radiant was.

Icarus decided to get some training in himself. With a shot walk, he went over to a far corner, and positioned some dummies in a row. After backing up several hundred hooves, he levitated out his crossbow and loaded a bolt. Checking no one was around him, he aimed at the dummies top left hoof, a good place to fire to disarm someone. With a quick THWACK the bolt shot across the field and landed just above were the hoof ended. Icarus smiled and loaded another bolt, this time no winding up the crossbow as much so he would have to arc it.

ICarus watched as the two ponies had some fun with the Foals. He watched from a distance, as to not scare them. Most northerners saw the Plague gear as a sign of an expert doctor, but others from southern areas feared them, usually associating them with evil and horror stores. But at least his comrades trusted hi, and that is all he really needed. they were a nice bunch, and Icarus actually found himself enjoying being around them

Icarus nodded at the two. " Quite a good duel you had there. Either one could have one. And luckily I wasnt needed in it" ICarus said, giving off his attempt at a joke. IT had been interesting to watch, as both of them had unique fighting styles. Tyra used one found in a lot of northern cultures, while it seemed Radiant was a bit more of a defensive player. After hearing Radiants statement, he nodded again in acknowledgement.

276*** I haven been able to talk to evveryone cause I have been busy XD

276*** Greetings

Soon Icarus emerged from his tent. His mask and Cloak once again donned for another day of work and saving ponies lives. Looking aroundd, he saw a small crowd gathered around two ponies. Of course, it was Tyra and Radiant having a duel to themselves. He cracked a small smile and decided to have a little watch before he moved on too the medical tent. They were both very good fighters, so it would be a tough calll on who would win.

Icarus awoke. It was another day to start working agian. Hopefully the wounded refugees had survived the night. According to before he left, they all should have been fine. For a bit, he sat up and stretched out, before pulling over his journal, plotting down his thoughts of the night before. We also pulled a small ration out of the corner of the tent, and snacked on it as he went about his morning.

I love it ! X3 Gave me a nice giggle before the day got started

Icarus kept working with the sick and wounded. He was tired, but luckily everyone seemed like they were in stable condition. After talking to the other doctors for a few minutes, Icarus walked over to the amputee to check on him before exiting the infirmary tent. Trotting over to his tent, he sat down and derobed. Reaching into his bag, he pulled out his journal and began scratching down his thoughts of the day.

@@Chip Circuit, "Yes you may. And thank you as well, you will have to teach me how to do that choke hold. It would be nice when we have nothing to ease a ponies pain" Icarus said, grabbing a roll of bandages and walking over to Radiant. He looked Radian over and saw a good amount of his bandages had been removed. Using his horn and magic, he quickly and efficintly applied the new bandages to all of his exposed wounds, making sure they were all put on right and sturdy. " There you go. You probably wont need the bandages by the time you wake up tomorrow" Icarus said.

@@Unicorncob, "Tyra!" Icarus walked over too the mare," Thank you once again for helping me. Luckily this pony will be alive and well. I should be able to fashion him a prosthetic leg. One of my advance designs as well, it is almost indistinguishable from a normal leg" Icarus said, smiling beneath his mask. " Oh, and your clothing should be mostly repaired b now, but there may be a small remaining mark. Hopefully they will be too your liking. Just drop by my tent and pick them up" He said, before walking away to attend to the many other ponies in the tent, helping them all as much as he could. "I should learn that sleeper hold" Icarus mumbled to himself. It seemed a lot easier then holding the pony down and forcing them through such pain. He always hated seeing people hurt. And the times when a patient died, he always tried to give them the funeral that they preferred. He felt it was thee least he could do for the ponies he had failed....including his family.

@, Icarus looked over at Blizzard, slightly annoyed."The other medical personell should have taken him in and are probably treating his wounds. I am busy with a patient right now" ICarus said as he sealed up the ponies leg with a cauterizing spell, and wrapped a bandage around the stump before applying a healing spell.

@@Unicorncob, "Hold him down, comfort him as needed " ICarus said."Are you ready?" He asked the pony, who returned a nod. He waited for Tyra to hold the pony down before he pulled out the saw. He planned to be as quick as possible. He quickly cut into the ponies leg, using the magically sharp leg to cut throught the ponies leg within 30 seconds. Luckily due to Radiant, he was out. Icarus looked up at Tyra. " I think that is it for now. Hopefully I can seal his stump up now." ICarus said. " Thank you Radiant. You saved him a lot of pain" ICarus offered his thanks.

"A pony here is in need of an amputation. their leg is fully corrupted with dark magic, and it is slowly spreading to the other parts of the body. IF we dont remove it soon, if may be too late for the poor soul" Icarus said, leading her to the medical tent. " Sadly, we have no anesthetic, so he will feel everything. I need someone to hold him down." Icarus informed her. LAying in the corner of the medical tent was a pony sprawled out on a cot. Their bottom left leg was covered in dark red crystals and they would moan in pain every moment or so.

@@Unicorncob, "Did you expect any different from him ? " Icarus said, thinking about Radiant's actions. they really did not surprise him. " While you may not be able to help Radiant, I am sure he will be fine. Perhaps you could be useful here ? The people of this outpost need help, and the medical team could use a strong mare such as yourself for an operation we are about to preform if you wish to join us" Icarus said,extending an offer to Tyra.

It had been hardd work, but now several more ponies were in stable condition. their dark magic wounds healing, and the effects disspeled. With a full medical team at his disposal within the medical tent, things were running very smooth as the team worked to nurse all the wounded ponies back to health. @@Unicorncob, Walking outside for a small break in the cool breeze, he saw a quite angry looking Tyra storm into her tent. He walked over too the tent, and stood just outside of it. "You don't seem to be in the best of moods" Icarus said.

After awhile, Icarus got up from his rest and dawned his cloak and mask. IT was time to check on the refugees.As he walked around into the deeper parts of the outpost, many of the ponies just looked at him. Some didnt seem comfortable around him, while others seemed relieved there was a doctor, and one of the Plague Doctors of Stalliongrad at that ! "You're the medic from the city are you not ?" An earth pony asked him. "Yes, that would be me" Icarus replied with a nod. "Good, some of the ponies here need medical attention ! Can you help them ?" The pony seemed slightly worried, but Icarus agreed with a nod. He followed the pony to one of the larger tents that seemed like it was being used as an infirmary. It was time to get to work fixing up these poor souls.

"You are welcome, hopefully you both feel better soon" Icarus said, laying down on his back and slowly eating a ration. These ponies were very strong, but like anyone, they did get hurt. Luckily Icarus was used to traveling with such a group, but hopefully these ponies would be less dependent on him. And hopefully no one would become a fatality like many have before. Icarus may be good, but ponies were still mortal.

Icarus worked on Radian. He applied an ointment to the burns, and used another healing spell on them. Soon after that, he put a bandage on and gave it a good pat to make sure it was on. " Remove the bandage in 24 hours, OK ?" Icarus said. HE moved on to Tyra, doing the same thing. " There, you both seem pretty good now, be sure to to not remove the bandages or apply pressure, magic burns can be very sensitive. " Icarus informed them.
