He didn't let go of her but  he did stop shaking her. Taking in a deep breath he closed his eyes and let it out slowly. Opening his eyes again they were back to the burnt orange they normally where. He understood that she was following Iona's orders to push the sled to escape. Letting go of her shoulders her cupped her face in his strong hands, partly to comfort her, partly to rest a finger on either side of her neck to check her pulse. Tilting her head up he looked her straight in the eyes, he could see that some of the blood vessels had popped with the force and she would have bloodshot eyes for a day or so but nothing to bad. "I am not blaming you Ris. I am worried about you both. Iona grew up in near zero gravity her entire life. Her body doesn't take heavy gees like that to well." His voice was still gruff and held his normal gravelly rasp but the tone was softer, full of concern. "Tell me, who attacked you two, why did they attack you two? I need to know so I can help protect you all."<br/><br/>Letting go of Thomyris's face he brushed her hair aside to examine the brush on her forehead. "Sonakshi, give Ris a looking over too. Iona is probably suffering from G-LOC and should be alright. I've seen it happen before with her. If there is no signs of injury we can only wait for her to wake to test for a concussion. Ris has a nasty bruise on her head, and her pulse is way high." Stepping away from the girl he turned to look at his captain on the floor breathing steadily. "When you calm down, I want a full debriefing Ris, as I said, until Iona wakes, I am the commanding officer on board and I need to know what other shit we have gotten ourselves into." He turned and gave her a mischievous grin. "You are not the only two that stirred up some trouble on the station.<br/><br/><i>"St. Anne, this is the Annie on final approach, we are In the groove and I am reading Landing Deck as Deck Clear. Say again I read Deck clear and we have begun final approach and we are in the groove. We are RTB in response to Emergency Recall Order."</i>Jin-Lai's voice sounded in Donovan's head causing him to stiffen and snap his head to the side. "Annie this is the St. Anne, Landing deck is clear and you have permission to land. Repeat, landing deck is clean and you have permission to land." Turning back to the three women in the bay he gave them all a looking over. "Jin-Lai is back with the Annie. Ris, help Sonakshi get Iona to the med-bay." His voice was clipped and the tone strong, almost daring them to question his orders.<br/><br/>With a though he opened his comm to Jin-Lai. "Jin-Lai, This is First Mate Donovan, acting HMFIC (head motherfucker in charge). I am with Dr. Sonakshi, Thomyris, and an unconscious Iona, we are in the loading bay, report to me immediately." He paused for a moment calming the swelling anger in his core. "How many souls did you have aboard the Annie?" He inquired hoping she was able to bring the rest of the crew home safely with her, but doubting it. Serena would have been the one hailing the St. Anne if she was aboard seeing as she was the one that usually piloted the small craft. Whipping his body around he slammed his fist into one of the heavy metal containers with such a force that it slid and inch with the impact and left the faintest of dents. "Damn it." He growled to himself under his breath. This was becoming a fucked up cycle.
