Oh yes, because I’ve really had time to take care of myself while fighting for people’s lives, Mina grumbled to herself, though she had to admit he was right. She dragged herself out of her sleep roll and staggered off in search of disinfectant, gauze and clean bandages, then locked herself in a bathroom stall in lieu of anywhere more private.
Too tired to stand, she sat herself on the floor before she started peeling away the old dressings. The bandages had a thin edge of discoloration where the grime was getting through: probably best she was doing this now after all. She found the lunatic had been right about the wound to her ribs too; there was a fresh red blotch going through to her clothes and it bled sluggishly when the dressings came away.
Drat it. That meant she was down to one wearable, non-bloody shirt. Though at least this one was red; hopefully with some stain remover she could get the worst of it out and no one would notice. Her vest might have had some fresh blood on it too, but as that was black and dry to the touch she couldn’t say for sure.
The disinfectant hurt out of all proportion to the injuries themselves; Mina’s jaws parted in a soundless scream while the stuff fizzed and bubbled and went to work. It was almost painful enough to wake her all the way up, if only for a moment or two. Applying the gauze and bandages afterwards was not nearly so painful, just awkward thanks to the angle and exhaustion-born clumsiness.
She slipped shirt and vest back on and reflected she should probably have brought her pajamas with her, as they were cleaner. Too bad. She had no intention of leaving her sleep roll once she went back to it; the bandages would have to suffice.
After a ferocious battle of internal will, Mina finally convinced herself against just sleeping on the bathroom floor (the tipping argument being her Pokemon was still in that ward) and staggered back to her bedroll. Hopefully, finally—to sleep, at least for a while.

Christian:
You hand the Bandra Report to Elren, who reads through it and passes it on to his lieutenants in turn. Lijan scans it with his usual faraway gaze and without comment; the other two are more verbal in their reactions.
“This…this is wonderful!” Dien exclaims upon scanning it briefly.
“Odd that it doesn’t seem to be ciphered…” Sesh remarks.
“The last base in the north is in pieces, Hillsbreak has been reclaimed—”
“We read the same thing you did, Dien,” the red-eyed lieutenant reminds him.
“And they’re sending Hannah out of Keida. We can launch an attack within the week!”
“With what? Our forces are in shambles!”
“Maybe after we regroup in Ternai Town.” Elren suggests before the pair can start quarreling.
"Secondly I have started making a map of the Brandra base. I would like to make a copy of it to take with me back if you want to keep it."
“That would be very useful,” Elren tells you. ((And it gives you an in-game excuse to stick around and chat.  ))
"I know it ain't much, but it is something. By the way, do you know where the Brandra HQ is? I guess you do, but dad did not inform me of it before sending me off to Helnith. If not then I got that too...obviously.”
“We knew it was in Moontear. But this…” Elren indicates the map warmly “…this is more than we hoped for. You’ve done well.”
“Thirdly, do you know anything about some sabotaged choppers? During the Ternai raid the occupation team that was suppose to come with the Helicopters never arrived because of some 'accidents' with the chopper. I assume it was you guys.”
This time Sesh answers you. “That wouldn’t have been one of our people. Most of our agents are under strict orders not to break their cover, and most definitely not in so obvious a fashion. ((I did drop a hint or two of who DID, but I suppose it was a little oblique.  )) We aren’t in any position to take advantage of that level of interference and wouldn’t be even without this setback.” He makes a sweeping gesture that takes in the Pokemon Center, its occupants, and the whole long struggle to get there. “By the time we are, Bandra will have repaired the damages and increased their security. If anything, it works against us—and none of our people have the bad sense to compromise our cause so badly on purpose.”
“And it would probably get them killed,” Lijan adds.
“That as well.”
“Also, the leader of team brandra is apperantly just a puppet, or at the very least she does not control the whole thing completly. If it was up to her, I would never have been made part of the organization, but there is this big black bird guy who told her to 'hire' me. His servant also where the one to recruited me, talked about making me immortal and fulfilling my wildest dreams if I served well. Mina might remember what the bird's name was, we met him in the Spectral Dimension after all."
“That would be Aidrelas,” Elren tells you, looking grave again. “We’ve heard rumors he was involved, but nothing concrete.”
"And that's about it. Mind you the plan was NOT to meet you guys. I was suppose to hook up with some Brandra patrol, but I have not found one yet...Anyway which path do you guys suppose I should take back to the Brandra base?"
“Sesh’s earlier suggestions were correct: the best way would probably be to go back the way you came, or, since you were planning on meeting up with a patrol here anyway, make sure there’s a more obvious gap between when we leave and when you let that patrol find you to avoid suspicion. In the mean time you might as well wait here.” Sesh looks like he’s about to argue but Elren quiets him with a gesture. “We need a copy of the map anyway and anyone who might recognize you probably already did.” Elren shifts his leg a little and seems to have realized he’s run out of things that need addressing. “Is there anything else you need to tell us?”

"Anything else?" Christian repeated "Not as I can remember, no. Only that I caught this nifty little shadow pokémon who I will tame, but that is not really all too important. Anyway I'll go and make a copy of that map now, so see ya some other time, right?"
------------------
after leaving the room(whenever that will be)
Christian made his way around through the center until he found a copy machine. He tried to be as quiet as possible seeing as many people had gone to sleep, but the copy-machine had decided to disagree with him so it made a point out of being as noisy as possible.
"Damn it you bloody rustbox, work quietly God damn it!" Christian said under his breath in almost whisper-like fashion.
((point is that someone hears the copy machine and/or Christian and seeing as at the very least Mina is suspicious, the person(s) come and check up on what's going on))

Zelgius had never been anything but a light sleeper. When he asked them, the recruiters had told him that this was a good quality.
Those lying little ***holes.
The copy machine woke up a few other people besides him, but Zelgius doubted that it was as immediately nerve racking and painful to their heads as it was to his. Most of them just rolled over and covered their ears as best they could. Zelgius, meanwhile, stood, slightly off balance for am moment of exhaustion before his field conditioning kicked in, and he advanced on the sound, right eye twitching from the pain of his headache and his annoyance at the person using this machine at such a god-awful hour.
Quietly he closed the door to the room, so as not to make more noise for the people that were still sleeping, and, straining to keep himself from breaking the copy machine and murdering the boy, walked over to Christian whispering in his ear, "Do you have ANY idea what time it is?"

"About 7PM" Christian answered without looking at Zelgius, concentrating on the copy-machine that appeared defect or something, at the very least, no paper had gotten out "Ohh COME ON! Don't go dieing on my now you can of tin!" Christian said annoyed and crouched down to check if there was paper in it "Great!" He grumbled "No paper! Now I got to go and find paper! God DAMN IT, I need to be on my way before daybreak!" Christian grumbled as he went looking for either paper or someone who knew where there was paper.

"There we go!" I said to myself as I head back to the copy-machine "Now excuse me a moment and the noise will stopp!" Christian tells Zelgius right before copying the map.
"There we go! One copy for me, and one for boss. Mehmeh!" Christian smiled to himself as he turned to Zelgius "Right, now you may go back to sleep. To bad you guys can't stay awake thou, I would love to talk with Mina, Misty and the rest of their group before I leave." Christian half said to himself and half said to Zelgius.

You print out the map and go look for your boss to give him the copy, only to find the room he was in vacated. A quick questioning of a passing Starlight Squad member reveals that Elren and the others are holding a meeting soon and everyone is requested to meet in the lobby.
----------------
Main Group:
At about 7:30 PM most of the group is awakened and directed into the main lobby. Here the majority of the Starlight Squad is gathered: Elren has been set up as best as his subordinates can manage, cleanly bandaged leg propped up on a cushion and seated as comfortably as possible, while his trio of lieutenants stand around him watching everyone enter. People file in slowly, and everywhere you look you see people bandaged or yawning—a handful of non-Squad volunteers have even showed up to the meeting, some still bloody from their earlier work although these at least have taken the time to change clothes. Some considerate soul did think to make coffee, and pots of the stuff are making the rounds.

Christian grumbled as he went looking for either paper or someone who knew where there was paper.
Zelgius watched Christian, yes, that was the boys name, walk out mumbling something about paper and Zelgius took a look at what could be so godawfully important that the boy would have to wake everyone up at 7 to print.
It looked like a map.
Zelgius remebered that he had forgoten to buy one before he came down here, and (not having any idea what Helnith looks like) decided that this must be a map of the continent. (OK, people, he was really tired, grumpy, exhausted and generally not having a good week. Give him a break, yeash.) He found a slip of paper that Christian hadn't noticed and, using this, quickly printed a copy of the map. On the top he wrote, "Maps of Helnith."
He put his copy away before Christian came back in. When Christian had finished making his copy, Zelgius unplugged the machine and stormed back to his sleeping spot.
---------------------------------
7:30 PM ((Shouldn't it be AM if it is the morning?))
Zelgius took his spot, really just wanting to get back to sleep. The trainer next to him felt Zelgius's annoyance and decided to scoot over a little bit to get out of the blast zone.

Sarah:
((1-2 hours sleep max. Probably 2 for your character, since you went to bed earlier.))
You are awakened when somebody literally trips over you, and a stack of empty buckets falls over you in the process.
“Ack! What are you doing in here?” asks the tripper. “Trying to get out of the lobby meeting? I guess I can’t really blame you, but I need to put these buckets away, so if you’ll please move…”
----------------
Zelgius:
((Quote:
7:30 PM ((Shouldn't it be AM if it is the morning?))
No, because it isn’t morning. Also, no camera app on the Pokedex. How about this instead?))
You look around discretely and find a single stray sheet of paper wedged behind the copy machine. You put it in the tray and make a quick copy, stowing it out of sight before Christian comes back.

((OOC post:
Alright. Yes, that would work.
Query. Why wouldn't our pokedex have a camera? It does take pictures of pokemon to ID them, right? Or is this something that doesn't exist in Helnith?
To complete the rant,
So wait, your telling me that you can make a train, steel ships, computers that can send physical objects through a pipe system to other computers, medical devices that heal a creature by just applying a thin spay on the skin and a machine the size of my fist that is just a little airtight ball which somehow can hold a creature the size of Godzilla... But the idea of a camera eludes you.
(Sorry for any words not spelled correctly, but there is no spell check on this computer.)))

“Hey.”
Mina awoke this time to someone shaking her gently; the voice was a lot more polite than the lunatic’s though not one she recognized. Her eyes protested the light of the ward and she suppressed a groan.
It can’t be morning.
“Mmm?” she managed instead.
“You’re one of those Starlight Squad people aren’t you? Your boss is holding a meeting in the lobby. You should go.”
Mina didn’t bother to correct him, just thanked him with a few mumbled syllables and dragged herself off to the lobby after making sure her Pokeballs were secure. The proper seating was all taken when she got there; she found a seat on the floor instead where she could lean up against a couch and settled down.

"Meh I was just sleeping here!" Sarah complained.
"Can't you at least watch where you're going before you start hurling a bombardment of buckets all over me?"
She tried to get up but it wasn't easy since she both was tired and had all of the buckets over herself. While on her feet she asked:
"Wait a second, did you say something about a meeting?"
But the before the tripper had any chance to answer Sarah was gone to look for the meeting.
She was way too curious to let something like this remain unattended.

Zelgius had barely seen Mina slump over to the couch from the corner of his eye. The couch he was sitting on. He was almost surprised that she had chosen to sit so close to him, but then again, both of them were past simple exhaustion, and he had barely noticed her because he had looked up.
*Sigh* Well, there goes my relative comfort He thought to himself. Sliding off of the couch, he shuffled over to the side she was sitting on and tells Mina, "Take the spot." before he sits down next to hers and tries to keep himself from falling asleep. "You are actually in the Starlight squad. I'm not. This is your meeting." With that, his head hit his knees and Zelgius was sleeping, lightly, but sleeping.

After a while Sarah stopped searching for the meeting and returned to the janitor closet.
She forgotten her sleeping bag. When she returned the tripper was still there and was placing the empty buckets into a nice stack. She quickly grabbed the sleeping bag and started rolling it and then stuffed it into her bag.
This time she actually stayed long enough to find out that the meeting was being held in the main lobby.
With this new information she was finally on her way to see what was going on.

Brona hadn't slept really well, he had bad dreams and hadn't really been comfortable. When he finally woke up he were still tired, and to add a bit of discomfort to it he was sore and his body ached. But at least he wasn't seriously hurt! That was something at least. He accepted the coffee with a nod and waited for whatever was going on to start, he wanted to know what the plans were now.

"Take the spot."
Mina looked up, a little surprised.
"You are actually in the Starlight squad. I'm not. This is your meeting."
She blinked, wondering privately why does everyone think that??? First Brona, then this guy, then the trainer who woke her up for this. “Actually, I’m not.”

“Actually, I’m not.”
Zelgius had almost gone completely to sleep when Mina told him this. Noting that she was talking to him, he forced his mind to wake up, and then the meaning of what she had said set in.
"Then, if you aren't in the Starlight Squad, why are you here? Why did you get dragged into this war?" He asked, genuine interest waking him up moderately.

Trying to awaken Stacey was no easy matter. Small nudges and light words did nothing to disturb her sleep. A few more times, a few bits harder each time, and nothing. One final attempt was made, causing her to roll over to compensate for comfort. Though, the end result was of no comfort at all. She fell from the bed, smashing her face, or rather, her nose, into the floor. She turned over, and sat up, vision blurry, and totally unaware of the resulting nose bleed.
"What's going on? Where's the fire?"
The trainer ran off, apologizing to her, set on getting some bandages. She only heard mumbling from the person though. Not long after, the return, and attempt to place them upon her nose.
"What are you doing!?"
She fought off the trainer a little, but soon became aware of the injury. She hit her nose in the struggle, and was now awake enough to feel the pain.
"Ouch! Ouch! Fine! Fine! Be careful!"
The bandages were placed, the trainer apologizing even more to her in the process. Stacey was feeling very grumpy from the recent events that had just happened, not looking one bit pleased.
"Now, why did you feel the need to knock me from my bed? Did you want it that bad?"
The trainer explained that there was a meeting to start, and her presence was requested. She slowly pushed herself from the floor, the trainer too cautious to attempt to help her, and sluggishly walked to the meeting. The seating was all taken by the time she arrived. She chose to stand around the corner of the room. She would have sat down, but she figured her face had had enough run-ins with the floor, for now.

“I got a letter inviting me to the region. Got attacked by a guy named Altros not long after I got here.” If he was a Bandra spy, that wasn’t anything they didn’t already know. If he wasn’t, the mess proceeding the letter was still none of his business. “What are you doing here? You don’t act like a trainer out for badges.” She’d also noted the blood on his clothes earlier and wondered suddenly if that was where the shift in attitude had come from. Maybe now he realizes I was serious about the wounded!
