~AT THE SETTLEMENT~
"Clamp; has Ronon succeeded in locating those missing kids and that herd of livestock yet? Suture." Bri had her hands wrist deep in the intestines of a twelve-year-old girl.
Lorne and John were searching for more survivors in the wreckage of what was left of the settlement. Lilah was aloft in the jumper, searching for any life signs in the area that didn't belong. Rodney knelt next to Bri, handing her what she asked for.
Rodney handed her a suture from the portable med kit, then tapped his radio with his wrist to avoid desterilizing his hands. "Any luck yet Ronon?"
"No…wait, I found them. They sheltered in a cave about a mile from the village."
"Stay with them Ronon," Bri called loud enough for Rodney's radio to pick up. "Lilah will come and pick you all up."
"Got it, most of the cattle stampeded anyway, so I think we can let that herd go. I'll be here." Ronon then disappeared from the radio.
On the other side of the village John paused in his digging through the remnants of houses and looked over at the knots of survivors doing what they could to help the team. "How's it going Bri?" He asked. Almost a minute passed before he got a response.
"I've done as much for her as I can here," John heard Bri removing the latex gloves as she spoke. "Anything else requires equipment that I don't have. We have to find that city quick John, it'll have the equipment necessary for us to help them."
"Okay," John said. "I'll ask the people we've found and see if anyone knows anything."
"Thanks John." Bri said wearily.
Suddenly Lilah's voice broke into the radio chatter. "I just flew over the gate, it's active and a troop of Genii are coming through and guarding the gate."
"Shit. Thanks Lil." Bri sighed and began packing all her equipment away quickly and efficiently. "John, you heard?"
"Yeah, get that girl back here as soon as you can and we'll see what we can do to protect these people."
"Got it." Bri sighed, "Rodney, help me carry her."
