Jan 19th; baby Trilk

[juniberries]

[The interception of the wounded baby Trilk was...honestly, by accident. Allura had gone scouting a few miles south of the Trilk's cavern exit following a scavenging group's return when she came across the poor thing. Poor thing, of course, being a relative term, because despite its size being that of something obviously young, and its plaintive cries that of pain, but despite the wound (dozens of painful spikes dug deep into its skin) and it lying on its side, the moment Allura attempted to go near and sooth it, the creature began to act as aggressively as it could out of self defense, scrambling in the dirt and kicking up dust.

She will send out a message to the others over their private channel, keeping crouched and just out of reach.]

Hello, Gamma team? This is Princess Allura. I need some assistance; I have found what I believe to be an injured adolescent Trilk. [There's a pause.] It appears to have tripped a land mine.

I can try to subdue it but...I will need help.

[legendary_hands]

[When he receives the message, he frowns. Instantly he checks all of his supplies medically before heading straight in that direction while answering her.] On my way.

[Using the device, he moves through the terrain to her location and stops as he stares at the... adolescent. God damn it, but it looks as big as a horse. It doesn't bother him too much, though. Mainly from growing up in Georgia and around horses. Without a thought, he pulls out his tricorder and starts dialing in the information he does have about the alien species before trying to get a scan.

He's not going to be able to get a good scan unless he gets close.] If you think you can get close, I might be able to calibrate the hypospray with the right amount of sedative. Can't do nothin' with it thrashin' around and gettin' one of us hurt with it.

[Allura waits patiently a few feet away from the youngling, crouching and still trying to calm it with a soothing voice even though her efforts don't seem to be doing much. The tension in her body seems to loosen up a little when McCoy finally does arrive, thankful that it's the doctor of the group who arrives first.

She has her own abilities, but she knows they will need to get those spikes out before she even tries tapping into her quintessence to help heal the poor creature.]

I would want to wait for someone else to arrive before actually trying to sedate it but- [She pauses, and while remaining still, eyes closed, her body begins to shift, physique and build shifting until she appears to be nearly 9 feet in height. It's honestly a good thing she's wearing her own flightsuit and not the Eluvio's, as the suit is crafted with Altean shifting physiology in mind and adjusts in time to her shifting ability. Her dark skin is now tinted a dusty teal, almost reminiscent of the Trilk's own hide colour.] I believe I can manage holding it down.

[winscenario]

[ Elsewhere, Jim gets the same message, and rushes back to Allura's pinpointed location. He spots Bones even from a few feet away, knowing the doctor's likely trying to scan the Trilk from a distance, but it's Allura's shifting that catches his attention as he steps closer.

Surprise and awe and any questions he might have will have to wait, though. One of the Trilk's noises has Jim glancing over, his steps slowing down as he reaches Bones and Allura, ducking just a little but not crouching. Not that he can do as much as if he were 9 feet tall, but he's still going to try anyway. ]

Managed to get any readings on it yet? [ He asks Bones, resting a hand on his shoulder. ]

[legendary_hands]

[Frowning sharply at the readings that were rather inconsistent for the time bein', he looks up at Jim's voice.] Not as good as I'd like. Need to get closer, but I may have to guess the right dose based on the body mass readin's I'm gettin'.

[Not that he was any sort of expert on creating doses on the fly like that. He prefers to do this in a way that is as close to accurate as possible. Glancing over at Allura, he goes on.]

I don't know what Jim can do to help, but I don't feel right coming up with a dose till I have an accurate reading on the mass and other vitals. I don't want to hurt it.
