"Can you move?" Bassena asked Ron. The scout wasn't as badly injured as before--nothing was melting away--but still...bad. He was drenched in blood and pale from mana deficiency.
"No," the man replied after finishing cursing the experience of getting scattered twice by fragments. "Can someone get me the box in my breast pocket?"
"I--I'll do it," the outpost defender, who was feeling bad for barely doing anything, helped the scout light up a golden needle Radia supplied him as a thanks for that first fragment attack.
"Haa...let me have this a bit and I'll get up again," the man said while inhaling mana deep inside, filling his empty system again.
After giving the defender a set of regenerative serums to be given to the scout, Bassena quickly swept his gaze around. Thankfully, no one was in danger of eruption yet; Ron and Helios were in the red, but it was a low one, and they should be able to manage until they got to the Borderland.
