[OOC] With much discussion over in the chat, this is what I believed we agreed on... Part 1: [/OOC]
Enroute to the USS Enterprise, the LJ-65 and its passengers experience little turbulance along its flight. The interior though was experiencing its own turbulance...
[OOC #2] The [beep!] denotes a Roger Beep that some 2way radios have. it signals to the listner(s) that the transmitter has stopped transmitting, and the listener(s) have a chance to send a reply, which is optional. [/OOC]
Jeanette takes the radio given to her by Fernando, and calls for Dr. Aiesha, turning it one.
Jeanette: Dr. Aiesha, are you there? Over? [beep!]
For a while, no answer. Jeanette tries again.
Jeanette: Dr. Aiesha, are you there? Over? [beep!]
Dr. Aiesha: This is Aiesha. Hows the patient's doing? [beep!]
Jeanette: Not good I'm afraid. Vital signs are slowly declining. Blood pressure is at minimum, heart rate is 42bpm. [beep!]
Dr. Aiesha: Listen closely. go get your medical bag, and pull out the following: #5 Hypodermic, as many Epinephrine pens as you got, and the largest syringe in the bag. Also get a lot of gouze and tape.[beep!]
Jeanette rushes over to her bag and pulls out the items mentioned, gathering them on the guerney where Anglica laid. She finds 12 Epi-pens, 4 belonging to Fernando incase his death allergy kicks in.
Jeanette: Got them. [beep!]
Dr. Aiesha: Now, take each epi-pen and empty them into the syringe. Then place the #5 needle onto it, make sure it does not leak or have air bubbles in the chamber. [beep!]
Jeanette works hard to go fast without messing up, filling the syringe with the contents of the epi-pens. She manages to fill the syringe 1/2way, before screwing on the #5 needle. She then holds it to the light, checking for air bubbles in the chamber, tapping the side of the syringe to force the air bubbles by the needle entry point and pushes the plunger slightly and slowly let the air out and just a tiny bit of needle's tip.
Jeanette: Done. [beep!]
Dr. Aiesha: Good. Now open her blouse or what ever she has on. You're going to do a cardioinfusion of the epinephrine. Find where the Clavical meets the breast bone on the left side and feel for a gap between the ribs. Once you have that, slowly insert the needle into her chest at a 45 degree angle to her heart. If you feel the needle pulsating, push it through, and inject 5cc's of the epinephrine into her. [beep!]
Jeanette: Understood. [beep!]
Jeanette did as she was told, undoing Angelica's top and undershirt until she was bare chested, and began feeling for the ribs and the gap Dr. Aiesha told her to find. Once she thinks she finds the spot, the slowly inserts the needle into Angelica's chest at the prescribed angle until she felt the heart betting against the needle. Then she pushed the final few millimeters before giving Angelica a dosage of the medicine. Anglica gasps for air, the first sign of life she has shown in a while.
Dr. Aiesha: When you're done, wrap the syringe with the gauze and tape it down. [beep!]
Jeanette continues with the proceedure, taping down the syringe before taking the radio.
Jeanette: I think its working... Blood pressure's rising, heart beat now at 60bpm. [beep!]
Dr. Aiesha: Good. Now keep an eye on her, and juice her 5 cc's if her vitals start to fall again. [beep!]
Jeanette: Got It...
Dr. Aiesha: Let me know if there are sudden changes. I'll be waiting on the flight deck waiting for you. [beep!]
Jeanette: See you there... [beep!]
The girls overheard everything, Bink being the first one to unbuckle her seatbeat and walk over to where Jeanette was as she further secured the life montoring equipment. The others surround them.
Bink: Miss... Is she going to be OK?
Jeanette looks down at Bink.
Jeanette: She'll be fine.
Bink: Promise?
Cleas: Bink, stop that.
Bink: I'm Sorry.
Jeanette: Dont be. Understand that Anglica is not alright, and that we all here are working hard not to let her die, but sometimes some promises can not be made. I will do my best for her though.
Bink: I can accept that.
Triela: told you she would be OK.
Jeanette: I have to go talk to the pilots for a second. I would like for you to all sit down, but if you must, you can be with her for a while, but no more.
All the girls in unison: OK.

[OOC} Now after reviewing the entire series, I can truly go by them and not by fanfict or internet conjecture, thus having a fuller understanding... Thus with the conversation held in the chat room the other days, things should go smoothly; provided that others do their part on this. Preferably, I do not want to finish on my own. On to Part 2:[/OOC]
Fernando works hard cracking into various computer systems, even a few back home for as much information as possible. What he finds locally is most intriguing.
Code:
SWA is divided up into 2 sections:
Section 1 is the agency head, promoting free medical services to the members of Section and administrative logistics/ mission planning for Section 2, and investigatory arm of the SWA. It is the goverment's hand of the operation.
Section 2 is divided up into 3 sections: Medical Cyborg Research & Care, Logistics (coordinated with Section 1), and Fratello Teams- 10 in all...
Fernando thinks to himself: 10?!! We only got 5, and with Elsa and her Fratello being killed in a previous mission before our intervention, that leave with 4 more units to deal with.
Fernando continues to work on the computer, and decides on the next course of action- talk with the UN Investigators and their prisoners. But before that, there was some he has to do.

The following morning, posted on every news paper's page 6 as a minor story, the capture of various government agents and corrupt politicians, who are going to be tried in NYC UN building for war crimes and human rights violations. Details with Plane Registry number, date and time of departure, the news goes unnoticed, expect to a few attentitive individuals...

Hondo I. Sackett

Hondo replenished the vans NOS system and threw in a few other items that might come in handy. It was gettin later on in the evenin' when Hondo came back upstairs just to find Fernando still at the computer.
"I'll see if there is any grub left in the place." Hondo says in passin' to Fernando.
"Mmhhm." was all the answer he got, as fernando was deep into his readin' and oblivious to what Hondo said or was doin'.Hondo found some hamburger, frozen bread dough, tater chips, Beans, plus a few condiments. He got it all out, baked the dough into hamburg buns, heated the beans and fried the burgers. after the buns came out he threw in some frozen cookie dough to bake off.
*they keep some of the weirdest supplies in a hideout. you'd figure they have more grab and go and MRE's, but they have more of this stuff that takes time to fix! oh well.* Hondo thought. *we have a lot to do still, and who knows when we'll be able to stop and eat again.*
"That smells good." Fernando said as his nose brought him out of the computer room and into the kitchen.
"Almost ready. nothin' fancy. Just a little of this and that that were layin' 'round." Hondo said.
"Pretty good for left over supplies. We had pretty well pick everything over earlier on the mission." Fernando said.
"yap, but this stuff took time. the other stuff was fast to eat." Hondo said. "While you load your plate and fix your Burger, why don't yah fill me in on your findin's and lay out your master plan."
"let's eat first, then I'll tell you my plan." Fernando said as he grabbed his food and went to sit in the livin' room lazyboy to eat.
"Your the boss." Hondo said as he grabbed his food and sat on the couch to eat. They finished eatin' quickly, but Fernando refused to talk 'bout his plan until Hondo had passed out the cookies. Hondo rolled his eyes and mumbled somethin' incoherent. Fernando grinned slightly, and waited for his cookies. Hondo brought them over to the livin' room.
"Ok, now, what are we goin' to do?" Hondo asked.
"Well, this is what I found out. . . "

Alex II Was looking at one of the girls then Looking out the window seeing all of France as they head out to the Atlantict Ocean while he was thinking too if he want to addopted one of the girls into his family

Fernando

[OOC] Remember these girls are cyborgs who were programmed and trained assassins. It will take a lot to undo this dirty work. Furthermore Bink's handler was killed within her vicinity, as she is suppposed to protect him, failed in that task, and is falling into a depression. Its more that 'It takes a village to raise a child'- its more like in this case, 'it take government agencies to raise a child.' [/OOC]
Fernando: First, I'm going to need the 2 doctors (Dr. Gilliani and Dr. Bianchi) and one of the handlers (Jean) from the UN Investigators. We also need to find and capture the other handler who was not caught (Marco).
Hondo: I might understand why you might want the docs, but why the scum sucking handlers?
Fernando: In Marco's case, being Angelica's Fratello, he knows at what point Angelica's inplant and condictioning started to fail. In Jean's case, I need him to compare notes about the girls; especailly with Rico, Bink and Angelica- Rico being his Fratello and Bink belonging to his (recently killed) brother- Jose. We can also extract other information on the missing 4 Fratello teams from him since he was second in command of the SWA Section 2.
Hondo: I see. Which one we should do, hunt down the runaway or go to the UN people?
Fernando: Go to the UN Investigators... I'm giving them the 737BBJ as a trade for the doctors and Jean.
Hondo: Hmmmm?
Fernando: They can do me the favor of returning the jet back to the states, and if anyone still within the Italian government decides to targt the plane, we wont be in it.
Hondo: You know, you're down right dispicable.
Fernando: Dispicable? Evil maybe...
Hondo: Hmph...
Fernando: Lets move after lunch.
Hondo: Alright Boss...

Jeanette Isabelle
- - - - -
Anne knocks on the door to a hotel room. Franco stands beside her, holding a suitcase. Anne and Franco are let in by a gentleman and are greeted by two others. Not much in the way of words are exchanged. Franco lays the suitcase on the bed and opens it, revealing a bomb to the gentleman seated at the desk. The man seated nods to Franco; Franco closes the case.
Anne offers her hand to the gentleman seated. "As always, it's a pleasure doing business." The gentleman stands to shake Anne's hand.
Walking down the hall, to the elevators, Franco breaks his silence to Anne. "You do realize we just made a deal with the devil."
"We can atone for our sins later." Anne replies. "This has to be done. The sooner we can close the book on the SWA, the better."
--------------------------------------------------
Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -
Hondo and Fernando finish their lunch and head out to the van.
"So we are still goin' to drive this thing, then?" Hondo says as he points at the van.
"yes, for now. I did hear you reloading the NOS system, right?" Fernando asked.
"Got that right, Boss squirrel man." Hondo said as he moved his rifle to easy grabbin' distance from the drivers seat, and put the pistole that is usually holstered at his back, on his lap.
"Ready?" Hondo asked.
"Let us get this done."Fernando said with a affirmative shake of his head.
Fernando gives Hondo the directions of which he punches in the vans inferior GPS computer.
"Liked the Ambulances system better." Hondo said as he fought with the stubborn computer.
"well, I ordered the best for it. this is just standard issue." Fernando said.
"standard junk, if you ask me!' Hondo growled under his breath.
"I didn't." Fernando said.
Hondo looked up from the computer, over his glasses at him and rolled his eyes.
"hmph!" Hondo said.
Fernando grinned slightly.
Hondo finally got the directions set and hit the gas. they took off and made it to the site in less than an hour. They parked a ways off to discuss. what was goin' to happen.
Fernando seemed to want to go in alone and leave Hondo for backup outside in the van, but Hondo was skeptical and asked what he was plannin' first.
--------------------------------------------------
Fernando
- - - - -
Before getting into the van, Fernando changes out of his EMT clothing and into something more comfortable; a $2000 Hugo Boss suit with a right sided pancake shoulder holster and his .32NAA Guardian, with 3 modified 10 rounds extended magazines to 12. A 4th modified magazine was already in the gun. He also puts on the BBL Mini .22 belt buckle hoslter modified to contain a .22 Blackwidow with Magum mods. Dark glasses and a white oak tap-cane complete Fernando's looks. He tells Hondo to 'dress upfor the occassion', but Hondo goes for his more relaxed dreesed up cowboy look; as per his personality.
Heading to the van, Fernando drops a small case in the back of the van, containing 5 .25NAA Guardians, with 5 modified 12-round magazine clips each. Fernando opens the case, and counts the contents. Hondo looks at the small arms and wonders why is Fernando using small calibers.
Hondo: Why the snake shot ammo?
Fernando pulls out one of the bullets, and shows it to Hondo; a .25 bullet head with a .32 cartidge shell.
Fernando: Its a little something I discovered; the smaller the bullet, the higher the volocity, the deeper the penetration into a bullet proof vest. To say the least, I dont aim to the center of mass, but above it.
Hondo: Hmmm... bullet proof vest penetration with head shots. I'm going to have to study up on that.
Fernando: Do so, you'll be surprized like I was.
They drive back into town, finding the UN Investigators holed up in one of their international mini-bases where they run their relief operations world wide, holding the prisoners in the basement. Security guards with metal detectors line the entrance way, making Fernando think that this is going to be difficult to do.
Fernando walks over to the one who looks like the head of security, tapping his cane in front of him, with Hondo behind, showing off his CIA ID to the guard.
Fernando: We're here for a prisonner pick up.
Head Security Guard: I did not heard about a prisonner pick up being done today.
Fernando (hooking his cane on his arm, showing off a mellina folder to the guard, but holding it hard enough not to take it away): You would not have, this is an internal issue here. We also have a Jet at the airport to accomidate the prisonner transfer to New York City. Excuse me but thats for the UN Investigator.
The guard stares at Fernando for more than a length of time that would make somebody uncomfortable.
Head of Security: You can go.
Fernando feels for the velet rope and undoes it.
Fernando: Lets go, Hondo.
Security gaurd stands in Fernando's way.
Head of Security: Only you can go.
Fernando unhooks the cane off his arm and puts it under the guard's chin.
Fernando: Are you stupid? I have limited vision and he's my body guard. We'retaking prisoners with us. He goes with me or we leave. If we leave, phone calls will be made, and you and your rent-a-cop monkey boys will be on the unemployment line before the sun sets.
Fernando now stares at the guard through his dark glasses. After a while Fernando steps around the guard and starts walking.
Fernando: Lets go Hondo.
Hondo walks past the guard, giving him a long hard stare as he walks by.
Within minutes, they find the UN Investigator doing his job: flying a desk, and juggling paperwork. Fernando walks into his office and takes a seat in front of his desk, despite what others had to say. Before the Investigator could say anything, Fernando shows off his CIA ID.
Fernando: I'm here for two things. One- there is a Jet waiting for you at the airport. You'll need to fly it yourselves. I'll give you its access codes when you provide me with number two.
UN Investigator: And what would number 2 be?
Fernando: We have two of their child assassins in our custody, but they are in bad shape and we might loose them. Normal medical treatments are not working and these individuals are the key to getting them well again.
UN Investigator: Who are these individuals?
Fernando: 1 cyborg handler: Jean, and the 2 doctors: Dr. Bianchi and Dr. Gilliani.
UN Investigator: They are the key to the case.
Fernando: I'll personally deliver them to the UN in New York City myself, after the child assassins are well enough to continue without their care.
UN Investigator: You know what they look like?
Fernando coughs noticably, then drops a mellina folder on the investor's desk.
UN Invesigator (as he picks up the folder): Sorry about that.
The UN Investigator looks into the folder and finds the te Dosiers of the 3 in question.
UN Investigator: Follow me.
They walk down the basement, with two other guards following them. At the holding pens of the basement, The three suspects in question are found, taken out of their cells, and handcuffed. They are escorted out of the van outside and secured to the rear seats of the vehicle. Hondo, Fernando and their captives drive away.
Fernando: That was easy... perhaps too easy.
Hondo was about to reply, but Jean beats him to it.
Jean: Where are you terrorists taking us to now?
Fernando: Terrorists... eh... Look sir, had it my way, you're dead caracus would be found hanging off the top level of the leaning tower of Pisa. But there are a couple of little girls that need your help in order to stay alive.
Jean: They're not girls, they're tools, made to do a specific job that needs to be done.
Fernando: We'll talk about such opinions later.
--------------------------------------------------
Fernando
- - - - -
Once at the hideout, Hondo takes the doctors in and 'makes them comfortable' in the living room. Fernando walks to the back of the van and takes out Jean; where he uncuffs Jean. As he does so, Fernando whispers into Jean's ear.
Fernando: Try anything stupid, and you'll find me faster than 'your tool': Rico.
Jean (whispers back): I highly doubt it.
Fernando: Care to try it?
Jean: With you having the gun, it would be unfair.
Fernando reaches into his jacket and pulls out the .32NAA Guardian, and hands it over to Jean, then places it to his forehead.
Fernando: Fair enough now?
Jean: More than fair...
Upon completing the last word, Jean starts to pull on the trigger. All of the sudden he has difficulty in pulling on it, as Fernando has his left arm on his wrist, pressing tightly against his carpal tendons. Just as quickly, Jean finds the tiny muzzle of the BlackWidow shoved 1/2way into his nostril, already cocked and ready to fire. Fernando squeezes down upon his wrist a bit more, just under breaking pressure, forcing Jean to drop the gun. Fernando manages to capture the gun before it passes their belt line, and draws it up to Jean's eye.
Just as sudden, he puts away the weaponary- the 32NAA Guardian into the shoulder holster and the .22 Blackwidow into the belt buckle, as he takes a step back from Jean.
Fernando: You lose.
Jean: You're a cyborg?
Fernando: One create by Nature herself.
Jean: Huh?
Fernando: I have a flipped gene for a hi-speed nervous system. It means that my nerve impluses travel 10 times faster than yours, but at the same time- it means shorten lifespan for me. The exact same thing your doctors created in those girls. Nothing more.
Jean (as he leans against the van): Hmmm...
Fernando: Now, lets get one thing straight. I came here with my friends to bring Bink back with her older sister. What happened to her handler and her kidnapping, happened not through our fault. But we took advantage of it and rescued her and another cyborg ourselves.
Jean: How can I be so sure you're telling the truth?
Fernando: The incident at the Westlin Hotel, was me rescueing one of my own from the RF. I would not have to had rescue her if you did not put a reward on our heads for some idiot to collect on it. Furthermore- just now, If I wanted you dead, you would be dead. But I dont kill except in self defense. And right now, Jean- you're worth nothing to me right now, but to a couple of dying little girls, you're the world that they need to continue to be alive. I hope you can understand that, because if you dont, I can simply put you back with the others and I can choose another Handler.
Jean: I see. Now what would you want me to do?
Fernando: Marco. Where is he...
Jean: I'm not a rat...
Fernando: You look like a rat. You smell like a rat. I really dont care about the ratty tatty (bleep) you rats live in, I'm doing this for a dying girl... Either help me find him or I'll wreck the rest of Italy to find him, and do so with the Pope's blessing.
Jean: You would not dare.
Fernando: Try me. Now where's Marco.
Jean spills out what he knows to Fernando, before being escorted to the hide out. Fernando signals to Jean to sit down. Fernando turns to the doctors.
Fernando: Lets have a talk gentlemen... You give me what I want and you will left in peace to live out your lives.
Dr. Gilliani: And if we dont cooperate?
Fernando: You leave here in pieces. Now tell me everything that you have done to the girls... Hondo, get the Medivac ready for a long haul. We're going back to the Enterprise. Men, if you dont mind, talk along the way.
--------------------------------------------------
Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -
Hondo grinned an evil grin, not the type of evil that says' destroy everyone, slowly', but one that said mad scientist/inventor.
"I have it almost ready, did a modification on it last time I holed up here with the girls." Hondo said as he left Fernando to prepare everything upstairs while he prepared the copter. Hondo had put a hydrogen from water generator the in creased the fuel time. for every gallon of water burnt 5 gallons of fuel would be needed to replace it. he had installed the customary long rang tanks, but all tanks held water.
*this bird would make it past the Enterprise now. . .* Hondo thought. *wait a minute! he said we that means me! Man I hate water travel.*
Hondo also, as an after thought hooked up the nos system from the van and triple nos gas to the copter.
*can use it for long intervals because of heat build up, but can for short spurts.* He thought.
As Hondo pushed the copter out of the storage bay on a copter dolly Fernando came out with the others at his heals.
"Ready to take off?" He asked.
"yup. you find out 'bout Marco from ratbag here?" Hondo asked.
Jean growled and started forward but was meet by a .50 cal colt dragoon in the nose, which was cocked on the way up.
"settle down!" Hondo barked. "I'm not as fast as Fernando, but I don't play fair either! So you won't get a chance with me."
Jean looked like he'd just wet his pants. Hondo re-holstered the pistol and Jean stepped back and behind one of the Doctors. Fernando grinned slightly, "yes, he spilled enough to save his life from my wrath, for now."
"So we're goin' after him?" Hondo asked.
"I planned on it, but we have the 'tools' here that are needed to save a couple girls lives. we deliver them first." Fernando said.
"Of coarse! so let jump in and get the whirly-bird express a movin'!" Hondo said as he jumped into the cockpit and started the engine. She fired to life as the others boarded. Fernando reminded them of his quick reflexes and of both of their bad tempers to those who crossed them. with that they took to the skies. Hondo fired a burst of NOS to give them a good start and with that they were off.

[OOC]This maybe my last posts. Going back to med-school this weekend.[/OOC]
DARYL and I (Dr. Aiesha) waited on the deck of the ship, waiting for the LJ-65 to land with our patient Angelica. Angelica has been stabilized with Epinephrine shots to her heart by our resident EMT JeanetteIsabelle.
A couple of hours ago, we recieved a call from Fernando, stating that he has retrieved the doctors responsible for the autrosities dont to the girls. The records also sent states that the cyborb implantation of the girls may not be reversable. In the case of Rico- removing her implants would put her back in the hospital bed which she spent most of her life in. It would also do the same to Angelica, who suffered massive injuries from her incident.
Angelica's medical problems are 2-fold: 1) Psycological and 2) Physical. We have decided that it is her mental well-being must be rescued first, for a patient who has lost the will to live, has no hope in living.
The LJ-65 land on the deck of the Enterprise, with the crew's Emergency Medical Team rushing in to get Angelica out first. They get the gurney onto the deck, and run it towards us. I do a quick scan of the attached medical equipment before taking her into the ship's infirmary to work on known injuries. Behind us, the other 4 girls follow us until they are stopped at the door by the guards.
We work hard against time, checking over the injuries Angelica had sustained from her last battle. Her cybernetic implants stopped the bullets from causing tear damage of her organs, but they did not account for impact and contussional damage. She's been bleeding internally since the shoot out. I get DARYL to do a quick Blood type matching while I and the rest of the ship's medical staff prepare for surgery to stop the bleeding.
Daryl comes in with the matching results with some bad news; Angelica is Blood Type AB-, a very rare type. There is no AB- blood in storage, as there is no one in the crew with that bloodtype. I start to take off the gloves and surgetical mask, and head to the radio room. DARYL runs with me, and together we go past the captain and his first officer.
Once in the radio room, DARYL makes a call to the ships of the fleet for AB- Blood. As inventories are checked, I make a radio call to Fernando, who was on his way to the Enterprise by helicopter.
Dr. Aiesha: Father, we have a problem.
Fernando: Explain what's going on, girl.
Dr. Aiesha: Angelica has a rare blood type, and is beleeding internally.
Fernando: What about cross referencing her type?
Dr. Aiesha: Not possible.
Fernando: What Blood Type is she?
Dr. Aiesha: AB Negative.
Fernando: What about Hemoglobin incompatibility?
Dr. Aiesha: Minimal Risk, father. We need you to get here as fast as possible.
Fernando: I see. Do what you can with what you got. My ETA will be 3 hours.
We disconnect our communications line.
Dr. Aiesha: Anything from the other ships, DARYL?
DARYL: They are searching their inventories. Maybe in the next 1/2 hour we'll know.
Back on the helicopter.
Fernando: Hondo, can we speed this trip up?
Hondo: I can try. What's the problem?
Fernando: Our patient has a rare blood type, and I'm the only match so far.
Hondo releases a sigh before answering, and sends the helicopter to a high velocity.
Hondo: Alright Boss, I'll see what I can do.

Midnight Man
- - - - -
Midnight sits on a beach near Propriano, Corsica. He tries to figure out how to stay in contact with USS Enterprise during the day. Right now, he can't afford spending any time at the airfield while Didier is there. The plain gray cat in the late 30s is the exact opposite of the easy-going Border Collie named Marcel. Under no circumstances is Didier to find out about the silver Mustang stashed away in the hangar and the explosives hidden all over the aircraft. So he always sits in a hiding near the airfield, watches who is the first to enter it, and tries to tell who will be the last on duty that day. Usually, the airfield officially closes down at 10 pm, and Midnight takes his chance, gets into the hangar, and turns on the Mustang's radio to listen if he is being called back. On the other hand, he tries not to stay up for too long and lose too much sleep.
He considers getting himself a short-wave radio and modifying it so that he can read the Enterprise all day without access to the plane. However, he'd still have to sneak onto the airfield at night to actually take off if necessary.

[OOC]Blood types:
There is a slight mix up that Dr.Aiesha created:
There are 4 Blood types and 2 RH Factors in each type.
The 4 Blood types are:
A, B, AB, & O
(there are other extreme rare types of K, L, M, etc... but they are not counted here)
The 2 RH Factors are + and -.
This makes 8 possible blood types in the general population:
A+/A-, B+/B-, AB+/AB-, O+/O-.
Lets forget about RH Factors for a second.
When mixing blood types for transfusions, its best to keep the same blood types used to minimize complications. But you can mix them if you must. The mixing depends on the reciepant (reciever) of the blood.
A type can only receive from A, and O
B type can only receive from B and O
AB type can only recieve from A, B, AB and O (Universal Reciepant)
O type can only reciece from O only. (Universal donor)
Now AB can recieve any blood type, but if it recieves A or B type, then it must continue to receive that type or else mixing a 3rd different blood type will cause clumping of the blood cells- which is an antigen reaction.
The same happens with RH Factors- putting in the wrong RH factor like AB+ into AB- will cause a blood cell clumping reaction.
Of all the combinations, AB- is the rarest of the 8. In RL, I have it. No one else in my family has it. In the community work that I have done in my life, no one I worked with, taught, or interacted with has it... this includes the 'Almighty Red Cross'. AB- is the hardest one for them to get. They calculate, that out of the 8,000,000 in this city, there are about 1000 AB- typed people. Of that 30 or so donate. I used too. Now I dont unless its an extreme emergency.
So, to have the least amount of complications for Angelica... I need to donate to her what I have.
Thank You Aiesha For The Plot Complication!
I was not expecting it...

Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -
Hondo had a few tricks up his sleave, but all of them were slightly dangerous. He had attached a liquid fuel rocket booster to the underside of the copter, for emergencies early on, durin' the first time he reworked the fuel system. The problem with that was control, or loss of. they had been flyin' close to the ground and then ocean to gain updraft but the extra thrust would require extra lift and a bigger error margin.
"Hang on and I'll see what this bird is made of!" Hondo yelled to the others. He closed the NOS valve slightly to decrease amount of NOS injected at a time. he 110%ed the throttle and hit the NOS and ignited the booster at the same time. the result was much faster speed, but very poor handlein'.
The copter shook with the effort and the engine temp. gauge rose rapidly.
"we can only hold this for maybe 30 min. before I have to ease back and let 'er cool." Hondo said to Fernando.
"give me 40 minutes and we will be there at this speed." Fernando said. Hondo looked at the gauges and grimaced slightly.
"Might be able to hold it, but it will be heck to the engine. probably still work but, she'll burn oil." Hondo said.
"it's not mine, I am not worried." Fernando said.
"ok, then." Hondo said. "but I still think we got away too easy. somethin' has got to be up."
"Yes. but what?" Fernando said.
about 35 minutes later the copter came in smoking as it hovered over the Enterprise. it had blown an oil seal, but was still functioning even though the temp gauge was well into the red. Thy landed and Fernando and Hondo escorted their 'guests' off the copter.

Fernando

Fernando signals to various members on the deck of the Enterpise to various tasks. To the maintenence crews, to repair the helicopter. To security, to round up the guests who Hondo was attending. While all that was going on, Fernando was making his way to the ship's tower entry where Dr. Aiesha was waiting for him, taking off his suit jacket along the way.
Heading to the medical bay, Dr. Aiesha informs Fernando of what was going on with Angelica. Much of what was said he already knows or had guessed, and thus does not pays too much attention to her. He would prefer to check the life monitors and recorded notes before paying any doctor some attention.
For the past couple of hours, the girls have been by the door of the imfirmary. As Fernando and Dr. Aiesha steps towards the imfirmary, Bink reaches out and grabs Fernando by the arm. Cleas was annoyed by Bink's actions, but because she beaten her to grabbing his attention. Fernando turns to Bink, and the others.
Fernando: Yes?
Bink: Is she going to be alright?
Fernando: Come on in... all of yous.
Dr. Aiesha: Father... this is not a...
Fernando (interrupting her): Good Idea? No but at best it is better then leaving them in the dark about what is going on. These girls were in the agency always had access to each other- even when they were hospitalized.
Dr. Aiesha does not answer, as Fernando allows the girls in; even though the guards momentarily stopped them from passing bay. One good stare from Fernando made them change their minds quickly.
Once inside, the girls gathered around Angelica's bed,where she was sleeping, or at least at rest. Another bed was set next to hers. Fernando starts rolling up his right sleeve as he sat on the bed, asking for Angelica's recorded vital sign charts. Claes takes the chart off Angelica's bed and gives it to Fernando. He takes it with his left and starts reading it. He hands his arm over Dr. Aiesha, who begins to apply a tourniquet to his biscept, to build up blood pressure within his veins. Fernando puts down the clipboard and points to a spot in his inner elbow joint.
Fernando: Aiesha- try this spot. I doubt you'll be able to draw anything out of anyplace you would stick me with.
Dr. Aiesha: Who's the doctor here?
Fernando: I was premed before you were concieved girl... Who knows this body better than me?
Dr. Aiesha: OK, I get your point.
Dr. Aiesha sticks the needle into Fernando's arm, letting the lilac coloured fluid drain into the transfer tube. She tapes down the needle andpart of the tube against his forearm.
Bink sits on on the bed next to Fernando.
Bink: What are you going to do?
Fernando: Angelica needs blood, and I'm going to give her mine.
Bink: She can have....
Claes: When we need blood, they give us this synthetic one.
Fernando: we dont have the synthetic stuff here. and I'm the only one who matches her type.
Bink: Are you going to be alright?
Fernando: I'll be fine... I need to lay down to get this done, OK.
DARYL lowers Angelica's bed to a lower point than Fernando's bed, to allow gravity to feed her his life fluid. Bink gets off the bed and regroups with the other girls. Fernando lays down.
Dr. Aeisha: Girls, they need to be left alone.
Fernando: Dont chase them out.
Dr. Aiesha: They dont belong here.
Fernando: If there can be any tiny sign of hope, it is here with them. They stay, end of arguement.
Dr. Aiesha: Father...
Fernando: Dont force me to pull rank on you.
DARYL: Sir...
Fernando: Dont you start with me either. You know better than most what these girls are going through.
Dr. Aiesha stands there, with little to say.
Fernando: This is going to take a couple of hours. Go get Jeanette, Tammy, Hondo and our guests here when we're 1/2 way done here. Until then, I would like to be left alone with the girls, to discuss many things with them.
DARYL and Dr. Aiesha stood there, perhaps insulted, or otherwise mift.
Fernando: Leave us.
Dr. Aiesha storms out of the room, DARYL follows. Fernando hands clipboard to Claes.
Fernando: Rico, close the door and lock it. Dont let no one in here during the next hour unless I tell you. Claes, record Angelica's heart rate and blood pressure every 5 minutes. Triela, Bink, {as he points at it} get me that machine and bring it to my bed. Turn it on, and hook up the finger clip to me and check my vital signs. If my blood pressure drops below 30/85 or heart rate below 25, go get Dr. Aiesha. Rico, turn off the lights. You girls understand my orders?
All: Yes.
Fernando: Good. Now we wait. And hope.
The girls complies to his orders. Fernando takes off his glasses, Claes takes them from him and holds on to them. He puts his left arm over his eyes, and lets out a sigh.
Fernando says to himself: 2 hours... God, you owe me, and I'm demanding payment from you now.
