<strong>Susan Cochrane<br/>In the cockpit with Emily<br/>Cautiously Optimistic</strong><br/><br/>"No no no, don't pass out, C'mon sugar, stay with me, don't pass out"  A quick snap of an ammonia capsule under her nose, Emily jerked, her eyes open... staring blankly but open.  "Don't make me give you adrenaline, sugar, don't do that, stay awake, zone out sure, but listen to my voice!"<br/><br/>In the zone, nothing else mattered or existed, the wound, a through and through shot, exit was neat and clean the slug hadn't tumbled.<br/><br/>Sirens. Sirens, oh no the COPS!  She had to secure the boat, just had to but Emily was oh God... stabilizing.  Susan bolted for the wheel, the engine was still running.... and just stared.  She could figure it out, she was used to smaller bass boats, zodiacs, this was a lot bigger, sure.  A moment of frantic fumbling didn't make things worse, but that was all.  The hell with that, back to Emily.<br/><br/>"Don't lose it, don't give up, don't pass out, don't pass out."  A litany of anguish, a prayer crooned to the bleeding woman over and over as Susan pulled away blood soaked bandages, checked the wound one more time, a clean penetrating shot, no arterial spurting of blood.  Quick clot, lots of it, then closing the wound, taping her up, and oh God, Oh God, she bent close to Emily's ear whispering "Stay with me, beautiful, stay with me, don't go anywhere, you're not hurt that bad, just stay with me.  I gotta go for a second, I gotta get this damn boat under control."  And then Susan kissed her, very lightly on the corner of her mouth, almost on the cheek.  "I'll be right back, I promise.  you be here, right here."<br/><br/>Another dash to the wheel, a colder thoughtful look, she made herself calm, made herself ice.  And tried again, heart hammering, half an eye out for cops as she tried to look like a common citizen fleeing from gunfire.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">tenacity roll to get herself under control:<br/><br/>41134   Noone or Anyone   2012-09-18 16:35:24   At 2012-09-18 16:35:24, Healergirl (uid: 25515) rolls: 3d6e6 Result: 10 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=41134)<br/><br/>Full Result: Healergirl rolled: 3d6, extra dice at 6<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 2, 4, 4, one four bumped to six,<strong> 1 </strong>success<br/><br/>Understanding:  Boating roll to get the craft under control.<br/><br/>Roll Result: Healergirl rolled: 4d6, extra dice at 6<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 3, 4, 4, 2, <br/><br/>Skill one, no success.  If I have any Fortune left after getting out of the estate and getting on the boat, I'll use one to get control of the boat if not...
