The passage of time in this place is not easily tracked, not without a clock of some sort, anyway. The days may even begin to blend together, only occasionally interrupted by confrontations with the robot spiders or discussion with whoever is on the other end of that terminal.
It seems like things won't change any time soon. But something is off today, and some of you may notice it sooner than others.
The mind-numbing drone of the nearby builder going about its work has been with you from the very start. Located behind the terminal and far down below, it was the first sound you heard upon arriving here. It has been arranging walkways in increasingly complicated and baffling designs, extending them ever outwards into space. This much has not changed at all during your time here; the drone of the machinery moving and metal being slotted into place may even have become somewhat comforting background noise.
It is completely silent today.
The skittering of spider robots through the vents or patrolling the area is not heard either, and though the atmosphere remains as gloomy as ever, the lack of sound will undoubtedly be noticeable to some of you. Thankfully, you can still hear; it's simply that the machines have stopped their usual tasks, for whatever reason.
[There's the tap-tapping of light feet on metal, and arriving fashionably late is-]
-!
What happened...?
[Though apparently she at least came prepared - she has with her a bundle of extra clothing, which she quickly disassembles and begins tearing apart for makeshift bandages.]
Ah, good of you to be late to the series of unfortunate events.
[ No pun intended. :) ]
There was a trap lying in wait for us - in the form of 3 mechanical entities. The last of which self-destructed, causing a heavy amount of damage to our number.
[ A quick, succinct explanation for the new arrival. At least she sort of came prepared. Ish? ]
[ They offer the comment coldly, but truthfully. ]
I'm sure that they would most certainly like your assistance. So, go ahead.
[ Wolfwood's got some healing ability, but they imagine given the limitation of their powers it will not necessarily cover everything. Therefore, it's painfully clear that all those injured will need all the assistance they can get. ]
I'll give you a hand. [ Paw. Whatever. Claws come in handy for tasks such as these - and it's better than wasting his energy cursing the fact that he doesn't have access to healing magics like he does back home. ]
Don't thank me. [ It's the right thing to do, after all. Exactly what Hune would do.
(Especially the "focusing on others while injured yourself" bit, but in his defense! Outside of the initial attacks from the builder, he's doing pretty okay! He's sore, definitely gonna be feeling some aches and pains later, but it's nothing compared to what some of the others are dealing with.) ]

I can prepare wraps for the wounded at least.

[And she's adept enough to tear up the clothing into fairly neat strips, no less.]

Good!
We'll make a good team like this!
no subject
Yeah. Think so, too.

[his arm hurts a little but fuck it. other people actually need it.]
The most grievously injured should be apparent, so you should tend to them with those bandages.
no subject
We'll see what's needed after the healers work on them. If needed, I'm sure we can spare supplies for you, too.

[infection will be more of a worry at this point...]

I see... If only it was easier to transport water and things here.
At least we have access to the showers to wash it out and keep it clean.
