"And find life jackets, if there are any!" She grabs seat cushions from empty seats, baggage, and whatever else is handy to shield the victim from a forward impact. She also tries to slide him against a bulkhead, or against a row of seat legs to help hold him in place. As the boat gets closer to landing, Zaki calls out "BRACE FOR IMPACT!" She lays over her patient to protect him during the landing.Eris wrote:Zaki moves back to the guard with the shrapnel wound. Bracing herself as best she can, Zaki checks his carotid and radial pulses. The pulse is weak. She cuts away the clothing from around the wound. It looks like there is air getting into the man's chest cavity. Toward the back of the cabin Zaki hears a loud groan from one of the marines that was back there and looking that direction she see him holding his bloodstained shoulder.

The silence is broken by the sounds of sirens as the firetruck and ambulance surge forward toward the boat sitting right in the middle of the runway directly across from the tower.
