Guppy's heart is going pretty fast too. He gives Autor a supportive nod.

Autor rubs his arms, shivering in place. "What the hell is that thing?"

"I don't know." Guppy says.

He may not be doing his 'What was the worst that could happen' homework today.

"We need to know where it came from too."

"I can't imagine how we're going to figure that out," Autor says, pacing in frenetic circles. "If anyone comes in horribly burned, I'm going to be useless like this."

Guppy shakes his head.

"No you won't." He says. "The adrenaline will get you through. We'll panic and get drunk together after."

Autor nods a few times, rapidly, blinking. He draws a deep, cleansing breath through his nose. "All right. All right. I can handle this. Thanks, Guppy."

Autor heads to the sink to scrub his hands pink and don gloves.

"A little help?" A masked man in red calls out.

Barry enters the infirmary with Daniel; the two of them supporting an injured Wraith between them.

Autor has already scrubbed his hands pink and donned gloves. "Bring him to the table, please, and we'll see what needs done."

The ex-soldier is already opening kolto patches.

Guppy washes his hands and comes over to give them a hand, but he'll let Autor lead for the moment, see how he gets on.

Daniel helps to move the Wraith onto a table, he's not exactly awake due to some terrible injuries. These are trying to heal, but for the most part they are failing to do so very well, bone can be seen in the sword slash on his arm, and under solidified lava on his shoulder. Blood is seeping from somewhere, a little darker red then that of humans, and it's soaking his all ready dark sleeveless shirt.

"He's going to need to feed at some point," says Daniel, "If no one else has been inoculated, I'll do it."

Beat, "Also, you might need restraints... these guys are really strong, even when they are injured."

Barry helps in getting the Wraith onto the table, stepping back to give the two from the infirmary team room to work.

"Restraints? I don't think he's likely to freak out. He was fine when I picked him up." And Barry did so quite suddenly and without warning.

Looking at Guppy, Barry says, "He's an alien." Obviously. "I don't know if it'll help any, but there's one of his ships downstairs in the garage. The guy told me before that he was living on it, and that it was alive, so it might have information on how to help him."

"You can go down there if you want, but at the moment you'll probably be better served helping save people from the monster," Autor says to the masked man, looking over the alien's injuries. "We should be fine here, once the wounds have been debrided and he's been fed."

Guppy gets the restraints out, just in case, because Daniel seems to know what he's talking about.

"Okay, I'm putting these on if you actually think we're going to get hurt." He says, applying only the minimum. "But they come off the second we know he's not going to freak out and we're not doing anything to this guy beyond immediate life saving care without him calming down enough to give consent. If he panics, we stop. If he attacks, we get Security."

He gets the scanner out and does a provisional scan.

Daniel sighs, "Well, the version of him I know is MUCH older and well, less likely to attack strangers. I wouldn't hold my breath that he's not going to freak out."

"You know," he says, "I'm going to go help that guy with the injured, let me know when he's awake."

Cause he's going to be hungry and super grumpy.

Barry frowns slightly, but these guys seem to know what they're doing, and Guppy's explanations do make sense. Barry just hopes Guide doesn't decide to freak out when he wakes up.

"Right now I'm just looking for people in trouble out there. If I find anymore injured, I'll bring them back here."

"Good plan," Autor says, nodding towards the suited hero. "Thanks for your assistance. We need all the help we can get to survive that monster."

He glances to Guppy, following his lead on the Guide situation. "What does the scanner say?"

"Thanks Barry, Daniel." Guppy says "I promise I'll take these off as soon as we know we're not about to get eaten."

He looks at the scan. "There's nothing life threatening, it's probably the pain that's knocked him out." he taps a few buttons. "We have a bit of data on his normal physiology, let's give him a hypospray of pain relief and see if it brings him round."

Before Daniel heads out he stops, "Is there a first aid kit I can use for those not very badly hurt?"

He might as well do what he can, after 15 years or so of working in the SGC he's become a pretty good medic.

Barry gives Autor a smile and nod. "There are a lot of people out there taking care of that thing. Pretty sure Milliways is gonna be fine."

That smile turns into a slightly startled expression, then a bit of a pout when Guppy says his name. "Dude."

He gestures at his mask and suit, "It's 'The Streak'."

And yes, it's a terrible name, Barry is working on it but, secret identity, man.

Barry let's it go rather quickly, though, in favor of the much more importantly pressing; namely, giant fire monster.

"Thank you guys for taking care of people. Daniel, if I run across anyone who needs basic first aid I'll come find you."

With that, Barry pops off a salute and leaves the infirmary in a red blurred whoosh.

"There are emergency med kits by the door," Autor says to Daniel, pointing to them.

The ex-soldier retrieves the hypospray painkillers and administers a dose to Guide, spraying down his lava-embedded shoulder. "We can't treat him until he comes around, right?"

"The streak?" Guppy raises an eyebrow. They are going to HAVE to have words about that later.

"Okay, he didn't tell me it was secret, or if he did, I forgot, so just forget that and don't write it in your database." he says to Autor, turning back to the job in hand. "And no, we can't do anything else until he comes around, unless he deteriorates."

Daniel, who had been doing his best not to show his geekieness at Barry's name.

"Yeah, you might want to rethink that," says Daniel washing his hands before he grabs a medkit and heads out the door. Good thing he was in his off world uniform.

Guide starts to come around, the voices in the room echoing in his ears. The medicine dulling his mind for a moment he wonders where he is. Then the memory of the battle and the injury flood back and the confusion and injury of his fight. His eyes fly open and with a roar his tries to sit up and manages to break one of the restraints. Thankfully, it's just a leg.

Autor's eyes widen at the primal display of power. He lifts his hands, palms towards Guide. "You're safe now. We're medics, trying to treat your wounds. If you attack us, you'll end up in the cells."

"Guide, we've met, we won't hurt you." Guppy says. "But Autor's right. Calm down or we'll call Security, and you can wait in the cells until you're calm enough to treat."

Guide stops struggling but continues to growl in his throat. The shock of waking up after such a traumatic fight and surrounded by humans is not good.

He searches for any mind to connect to, a comfort in this confusion.

Autor's mind is wide open; he has no defenses against telepathy. The flavor of his mind is wary, but determined. He hopes he can treat Guide, and debride the lava from his shoulder in a efficient and professional manner. "Will you allow us to treat your injuries?"

Guppy has no defences either. But he's got nothing to hide, other than nervousness.

He lets Autor lead, for the moment.

Guide would rather not be awake for this, but whatever. He knows he needs treatment. He does his best to nod his consent.

Autor doses him with more hypospray painkillers, and then uses a metal tool to measure the depth of the shoulder wound. The student then starts cutting away at the flesh around the lava, setting the burnt pieces into a tray.

"Good." Guppy says, assisting him. "We can use the skin fuser to cover these larger areas."

"Guide, you're doing really well too. Nice and still."

Guide growls at Guppy's comment, of course he's being cooperative, he needs their help and he's tied down.

"Guide, if you remain calm, we can remove the restraints," Autor says, continuing to debride the wound.

Guppy nods.

"We won't hurt you. But we have to put our safety first, or we can't help anyone."

Guide nods.

"Guppy, would you mind taking those off?" Autor says, wiping blood away from.the wound.

Guppy removes the restraints, more than ready to take Guide down with his stun gun if he tries anything.

Guide lays back to let them do their work diving into the secret places of his mind. There he paces the halls of his hive.

There's a lot of cooled lava to remove, curled around Guide's shoulder in tendrils and large chunks. Autor doesn't know how Guide will be able to move his arm after this. The ex-soldier hopes that he and Guppy don't have to remove it.

The work takes hours, even with Guppy's assistance, and by the time Autor saws out the last chunk with the scalpel, he's exhausted. He starts applying kolto patches and gets out the skin fuser, turning to Guppy for instructions.

"Let me." Guppy says. "Good job."

Autor's arms must be getting tired by now. Guppy shows him how to use the fuser.

"All done. Feel free to rest here as long as you need."

Guide opens his golden cat-like eyes.

"I must feed," he says bluntly.

Autor glances to the door. "There's a volunteer. He's out with the monster, helping the injured. I'll go get him."

With a nod to Guppy, Autor strips of his gloves and goes to find Daniel.

"Be careful." Guppy says to Autor, admiring his bravery for going out there.

He cleans up. "Do you need any more pain relief Guide?"
