She went to the pilot and offered to help her around.<span style="color: navy">"You need to take is easy and since we both are a bit battle damaged, I figure we can stick together.  How's the wound in your side doing?  Feeling more pain than you think you can handle?  We can follow the Ell-Tee out."</span>She gathered magazines from the dead as she continued to talk to the pilot.<span style="color: navy">"I think I am going insane.  Or else I am the only normal person in an insane universe.</span>Sydney giggled.<span style="color: navy">"But that's insanity talking isn't it.  I sort of wished I hadn't gotten mad at my parents now.  I feel so stupid and useless here.  You at least can fly us out if there's a pod that will fly.  Me?

I'll take her also, but I still want to make sure she gets blood as soon as possible."</span>As Marines moved by she handed out stim tabs to any who wanted them then took up the pilot and struggled to the hatchway once more.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
