Holly came running into the room, breathing heavily and shaking from adrenaline.
"I, I did it. I hit it. I hit the cockpit twice with the turret I found..."
Holly looked out the window to see the hovercraft losing altitude. She smiled as the hovercraft dipped further and out of of her view.
A large booming sound shook the building as the hovercraft fell and an orange glow washed over them from the windows. Holly laughed breathlessly.

Wren took a good look at Gwen. She looked thinner, too, although he'd been paying more attention to Cal.
"Gwen, I think that once we get this hovercraft taken care of, you and Cal would be the best to split between food and morphling, unless there's anyone else here in your shoes then we'd need to talk it out more. But, before solidifying any decisions, I think we should make sure we've finished off the hovercraft first. If we can't take that thing down, the food and morphling won't even matter. Well...at least for some of us. I think you and Cal are in the worst shape. I'm not sure about Val or Syd...maybe you've kept track? Sounds like Holly and I will be fine as long as we're not hit..."
He looked towards Holly and Thomas with a look of determination. "Just let me know who's making progress, who's using what, and when I need to step up. I'm ready and up for anything."
He heard a loud CRASH! "Wait, was that it?! Is it over?" Wren picked up Holly, who was just a bit taller so it was difficult, and spun her around. "Holly you're a BEAST!"

Cal's expression softens at Gwen's words, feeling a bit validated for having saved the morphling. He walked to her, sympathetic to her needs.
"I could go either way at this point, but if I'm being entirely honest, I've always been a bit stingy around needles."
He looks to Wren and everyone else, considering possible actions before turning back to Gwen.
"I'd like you to have the morphling shot. If it'll last you through the day, you can take it now and you won't have to stress over yourself. As long as everyone else can last through the day, I'm confident I can grab that last bit of bread. I trust everyone here with my life and that loaf is looking like paradise to me at this point..."
He holds the shot gingerly in his hand, taking in the full weight of the situation. EDIT: With all this commotion going on around him, Cal rolls his hand around the shot, waiting for responses and for the dust to settle before passing it along.

Gwen reached her hand out to take the morphling, but stopped herself. She gives a hard look to Cal.
"Just to be sure, I'm at 3 health. I only need one to get through today. Knowing you and your self-sacrificing ways, I want to be sure you don't need this shot more than I do." Gwen looks around. "I'm only going to take it if no one else needs it. We could probably split the shot." (OOC: Unsure about this. Can anyone confirm?) "I'll wait for Val and Syd to speak up about the matter."

OOC: I don't know if we can really split one, we should reach out to Vester.
Cal nods his head, drawing the morphling back to his side.
"It sounds like we're in the same shape. I'm at 3 health and will take 3 from starvation today, so I only need 1 as well. I think waiting is our best option."
As the loud explosion of the downed hovercraft rocks the hospital, Cal freezes. It's so early in the morning, its almost impossible to process what they had just done. He beams at Wren who's lifted Holly up off her feet, adding further to his amazement.

"Oh fuck yes!" Syd yelled as she went over to Holly and gave her a giant hug. "Fuck yes, we'll see tomorrow!"

Thomas looked up as the hovercraft imploded and crashed to the ground in the distance. "What the.... Wow! Nice work, Ladies! I feel pretty useless! There's really nothing I need to do. We're all on the same side, so there is no point in hacking or spying, but I could hack just for kicks. What does everyone think?"

The airship crashing to the ground should have made Val happy even with what tomorrow might bring for her. But Gwen and Cal's discussion was making her nervous.
"We need to make sure everyone has a chance of making it through this so no one fight over that bread yet. If Gwen gets hurt any more I'm pretty sure she won't make it to tomorrow," she implored.
"Furthermore," she added, "we can't have you signing your own death sentence Cal. What do each of you need to do today to live?"

OOC: Checked with Vester, can confirm Wren's statement. Can't split morphling effect. As for me and Gwen, I believe we're both at 3/8 hp with 6 food level. We'll each take 3 to starvation, bringing us to exactly 0.
Cal looks to Val and Gwen. He'd give anything to make sure they got out of this okay, but he realizes that isn't enough anymore. He needed to make sure everyone lived through today, including himself. Cal gave the two of them a warm smile.
"Val, you don't have to worry about me. From what everyone's describing, I think we have the means to reach the end of this day alive, as long as we plan. Gwen and I each will take a third day of starvation, eliminating exactly that much from our remaining health. We each need just the smallest boost, so either the morphling or the food. I'd like Gwen to have the morphling while I go scavenge for food, but I wanted to make sure everyone else was going to last the day."
He looks to Val and Sydney.
"We just needs to hear from you two. Now that the hovercraft is down, can you two last until the end of the Day?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine," she replied, "I'm out of food but this is only my second day going hungry so as long as I don't take any other damage I'll stay alive just fine."
OOC: I have four health and seven food

Thomas considered Val's words. "Oh man. I didn't even think about any other obstacles. That's probably a good idea - we can never be too sure!"

Realizing the card game was likely on hold, Wren approached Holly Edison and sat next to her. "Hey. I overheard some of what you and Val were saying...I know it's not my place, but do you wanna talk about it? I'd like to help in any way, if I can. What happened at the tower?" He gave her a long, sympathetic look. Maybe being so strong is hard. I tried to be strong like her, and Reese hated me for it...can't please everyone.
