So focused was she, Dasha didn’t even register her name being called. A hand had reached to seize the sword at her side, and surely she would have swung it too had the Rapidash not full body knocked into Giselle sending all three crashing to the side. Toppling several meters to the ground right as the explosion detonated, Dasha was blasted back once again. Her body collided with one of the processing servers on one of the walls, her head slamming back hard seconds after. Slipping down it, she collapsed on the ground sideways. Her Arcanine had rolled a meter in another direction and seemed completely unresponsive.
Suddenly everything was distant, far reaching, far gone. Dasha blinked a couple of times, but her vision would not clear. She was aware she was now lying on her stomach, but which ways her limbs lay didn’t quite reach her. There was a ringing in her ears, but whether it was from an alarm or something else, she didn’t know. Her chosen uniform would save her from the fire of the explosion, but she had blood dripping down from a gash on her head. A piece of debris nearby was steeped red as well.
Snowflake was screaming. Even as she had dodged bulk of the debris using a powerful Detect, she ran not to the Protosect but over to Dasha. Dasha? DASHA?? Stomping the ground, she was making all types of efforts to get her to respond.

Sable managed to absorb quiet a bit of the blast-- falling to a mangled bloody heap on the floor for her efforts and struggling to breathe-- but her small size could only deflect so much.
Kaimana and Sparkler still went crashing to the ground, although the prior didn't get nearly as much force as everyone else in the room. That being a relative statement, he still crashed against a wall pretty hard and blacked out for about ten seconds.
When consciousness returned, his vision was a blurry spinning mess even as he fought to get some kind of upright. He caught a glimpse of a black mass in a pool of blood and quietly growled, "Fucking mutt, she's gonna kill me."
But where was-- Dasha! He scrambled to his feet only for his bad leg to instantly give out beneath him. Fuck... Fuck fuck, he--
He looked around the room in flames. Ted was nervously rushing to his side from the other room. All right. They had a mission here, but it wasn't the priority anymore. Ted's Pain Split could potentially help some of the fallen Pokemon a bit but... Beam and Navi were released again instead. "Ted, Navi, see if you can retrieve the Drives. Beam, get the rest of us back to my office then help them."
Each Pokemon nodded and got to it, Navi going to investigate the remains of the Genesect while Ted retrieved the briefcase with the keys to see what he could do with those. Beam transported Kaimana back to HQ, and he immediately swapped his sixth Pokemon out for his or rather Evelyn's Blissey. The vaguely dog-shaped mass that was Sable was brought next, and Kai immediately had Ariana begin Heal Pulsing her for all she was worth, knowing the damage was likely far too extensive but hoping it would at least stabilize her.
Finally, Beam would grab the fire mounts, Dasha, and Snowflake from their clustered area. Ariana would get to the Pokemon when she could, so Kai hurried to check on "Laska, wake up! Dasha!" Oh, that gash looked bad, this wasn't good.

As the two pokemon search the room, it's fairly limited what they could do. The remains of the genesect yielded a very clear drive that took very little effort to remove from the Genesect's cannon. It was faintly singed, but when analyzed back at HQ it would be deemed to be entirely usable. As for Ted and the keys, sadly he would find very little use for them. Through a sense of diligence and a need to get out of here, making sure he turned over every stone to make sure they didn't have to come back here ever again. In the rubble of the central tube of the server room, he would find a lock mechanism matching one of the keys, but whatever was inside was clearly destroyed beyond repair. There was a half-destroyed drive similar to the Douse drive, but it was questionable if it was worth salvaging. Nevertheless, he found no instant use for the keys, though it was very likely Team A could find a use for the case, given only one lock had been accounted for. TEAM B HAS RETRIEVED
--1 Douse Drive-- --1 Half Destroyed Drive-- --A briefcase of 2 Keys to hand to Team A if they deem it worth the risk-- The half destroyed drive allows for a new mission to be performed to gain the information to re-build the drive from what remains.

Snowflake’s voice had given out at some point. All she was making now was distressed tones that even then sounded hoarse and pained. She wouldn’t let the Blissey help her unless he physically pried her form the spot Dasha lay. The Mega Evolution had worn off, and she was very rough for wear but couldn’t bring herself to care.
Dasha, meanwhile, wasn’t even vaguely sure of what was happening. Some part of her recognized the room change, but the other part couldn’t figure out why. “Nmmmmm” she’d tried for words but failed to form them. Blue eyes did open and fixate on Kai very briefly before falling to the corners of her eyes. Best to get her to a hospital, probably.

Kai did what he could to prevent further blood loss but...
Mother... fucker where was that Alakazam. Ariana had done about all she could for Sable, and moved on to Sparkler and Giselle given Snowflake at least had the strength to stand. Kai knew an ambulance could still take a while, but still grabbed at his phone debating, fidgeting.
Finally, Beam returned with Navi and Ted. Ted quickly started trying to fill Kai in, and was able to squeeze in a tiny bit more than if he'd been trying to verbally convey the info, but was still cut off before he could finish. "Figure it out. Beam, ER, now." Some... really petty part of Beam recalled that he'd specifically wanted to avoid being a teleport taxi but... yeah this whole day was.. a continuous emergency, yeah. Shit.
The nurses in the ER jumped as an Alakazam, an Absol, and two bloody humans appeared a brief ways from the reception desk. "Fix her," he spat, and the nurses began rushing over.

The sound of running nurses and doctors were distant to the barely conscious Dasha. She would not remember them loading her up onto a hospital bed nor would she remember how many wires and stickers they stuck to her. She would, however, remember the sharp pain in her head as they tried to deal with her still bleeding head injury.
The gash was deep. The wound itself had opened weirdly, and after a couple of minutes of trying to stop the bleeding themselves, the nurses called in a surgeon. They were going to have to cut in and sew up before stitching the surface wound.
Kaimana and the Pokemon had since been ushered into the waiting room. As much as she hated it, even Snowflake was forced out to reduce the exposures. The Absol paced back and forth in front of double doors and occasionally made low, frustrated noises.

Back at HQ, Ted had been scurrying about trying to figure out what to do with the recovered goods or if there was anything to be done to help the agents back in the field or what he could do for their injured comrades here. Ariana was starting to exhaust herself Heal Pulsing, but thankfully at long last, Beam showed up again. Once Dasha was being properly tended, he'd been sent back to see to it everything else got taken care of as efficiently as possible. (Beam was demanding a vacation after this, incidentally, but he digressed.)
Sable, Sparkler, Giselle, and even Ariana were dropped off at the nearest Center; while Beam, Navi, and Ted headed cautiously back to the compound to look for Josh and Thomas.
In the waiting room of the ER, Kai sat equal parts in pain, mentally cursing, and fighting sleep. His shoulder was still torn open from Protosect's first attack, and his prosthetic was skewed enough by the force of the blast he couldn't really walk on it, in addition to his splitting headache and thoroughly shot nerves. The ER seemed short-staffed, and he was functioning and conscious, so he assured the staff he didn't need immediate attention. He just needed an extra-strength naproxen, some clean gauze to hold against his shoulder, a crutch to borrow temporarily, and... pretty much an entire box of breath mints from the nearest vending machine. He knew he couldn't smoke in most buildings, let alone a hospital, but damn he was fidgety and having something in his mouth helped.
Watching Snowflake pace, he felt vaguely envious. "She'll be okay..." he mumbled at one point. She had to be.

As Kaiama spoke, Snowflake looked back to him about ready to cry. She hesitated a couple of times before trotting over to his seat. There was another pause before she shoved her head in his lap and whimpered a little quieter. Dasha was… Dasha was special. Dasha was precious. Dasha needed to be safe and protected and why couldn’t she do at least that? She had that “future sight” of hers, but what use was it when she couldn’t even keep her favorite person safe?
It would be almost an hour before the surgeon walked out looking about as tired and irritable as every surgeon did. “Sir, Ms. Laska is stable. You and her Pokemon ca—“ Snowflake had jerked up almost immediately after hearing Dasha’s surname. She stared for a moment athe surgeon who blinked slowly back. “You can go see her, but she’s not conscious at the moment. We had to put her un-“ The surgeon turned as the Absol made a bee line through the emergency room doors. Well.

A load of tension melted out with Kai's next exhale as the surgeon said 'stable'. "Thank you." He.. really did not want to lose anyone or be giving any families bad news especially this early on. He briefly exchanged words with the surgeon before following Snowflake in to check on her, wincing when he saw her wound. She was lucky it wasn't worse, though... Laska, what were you thinking...
While she slept, now that he knew for sure it was 'your loved one is injured by stable' and not 'your loved one may or may not make it', he checked the online database for her next of kin numbers and made a few calls, then left Snowflake to watch her as he finally got someone to stitch up his shoulder.
...Fuck he hoped the boys were okay. If he'd had more time, he'd have given Ted some kind of phone or device he could text on, but as quick as everything happened... Ugh, he had to focus on what was in front of him and trust... well, two of three Pokemon were pretty fresh blood, but Ted was certainly bright, Beam's teleportation was vital, and Navi was well-trained for this sort of thing. Hopefully they could handle it.
He finally hobbled back into Dasha's room shortly before she woke, unsure what he even wanted to say when she did.

Since entering, Snowflake had curled at the foot of the bed resting her head on her paws and staring forward at Dasha. Some deep seeded fear drummed inside that if she blinked for even a moment, Dasha would vanish only to reappear in a dangerous situation was a very real fear to her right then. Occasionally she’d glance at the humans that came in. A nurse tried to be reassuring and even pat her on the head but… for as much as she wished it were relaxing, it wasn’t. She was worried, and that was that.
As Kaimana came back in, her head raised briefly to him, and she stared worriedly yet gaain before looking sideways at Dasha and then back at him again. She knew very well he could do nothing but… but? Please do something? She wouldn’t have a chance to even figure out what because a groan slowly reverberated in the air drawing her attention back to Dasha.
The world was slowly coming back into focus again for Dasha. Even with the pain killers, she was aware of how her head throbbed and how her body ached. Opening her eyes was strangely difficult and…. it was strangely bright in the room or at elast it felt that way. A hand with a heart monitor clasped to her index finger was lifted and brought slowly to her face. “M… Snow…” The Absol had shifted climbing up and around her to lay right up next to her head. A soft trill escaped from her in response.

Kaimana was... relieved and concerned and furious, but sighed slowly. ...Snow was... a very good dog, heh. It was kind of relaxing just watching her love her human so deeply.
He'd just.. give them a few minutes before he finally spoke up. "Glad to see you're still with us..." That tone was almost light and almost bitter, just sort of nebulously floating in the air. He debated from there, but eventually settled on something.. just... tired...
"Any chance you're awake enough to explain what the hell you were thinking?" Sure, probably along the lines of 'stop the bug' but... ugh. "Our job was to obtain their research, but its destruction was hardly the worst alternative. And damn sure not worth risking your life."

The softness of Snowflake’s coat weirdly made her hand tingle— or maybe it was the numerous monitors on her arm. Dasha couldn’t tell. The Absol simply kept trilling now and again just breathing her in for the most part. It was only when Kai spoke that Dasha even registered someone else was in the room. Her gaze flickered over and focused on Kai for a few seconds, bt the look in her gaze seemed rather distant.
The series of questions had her shaking her head a little. “I could have stopped it.. it’s Steel/Bug, and with a Flare Blitz it could have at least ….” At least what, Dasha was having trouble thinking. A small shake of head was given.
Snowflake looked form Kaimana to Dasha and back again. A soft noise escaped from her before she rested her head down close to Dasha again without a word. That was her question too, after all.

Kai waited for her to finish, but when nothing else came, he sighed slowly and ran a hand down his face. "Laska, at that point, it was a bomb. Do you really thing high impact fire was going to..." He shook his head. "We don't even know for certain if it was Steel and Bug. Our reports said as much about Genesect but they could have been wrong, or the prototype could have been different, or..." All the possible 'what-ifs' were just semantics here honestly.
"None of that matters though because you are a more valuable asset than any object we might be pursuing. I don't want to see any agent of mine facing death that head-on unless other lives are immediately and directly on the line." He frowned deeply. "It's bad enough wondering if my Furfrou's gonna pull through. Can you imagine if you'd gotten yourself blown up? Exactly as much damage to the Drives with the addition of delivering that kind of news to your family?"

It was becoming hard to listen to Kaimana, in the physical sense of things, though Dasha wasn’t sure if it was just his words or some weird reaction with the medication she was having. The emphasis on herself earned a low noise and a shake of head. It’s not like most of the family hadn’t moved on passed her missingness for years before anyways. She hadn’t even seen Mom in person in years, so it wasn’t like she had much to miss anyways. Ilya hated her. Dad would have been hurt, but he could have made it passed it. Nik… had moved passed a lot of things, and she felt he could have perservered here in Veria at least.
Snowflake trilled again disapprovingly. Dasha blinked slowly letting her eyes flicker away. “Sorry to be a burden on your situation then,” she answered after a long moment. If he was concerned with his Furfrou he should go make sure it was ok.

"A burden to--" Was that... all she got from that? Was he missing something, or... Was there anything else? .... No? He groaned lightly.
"Your value isn't measured in how much trouble it saves me." He felt an urge to add... something to that sentence, but didn't know what. 'Dumbass'? 'Sweetie', either condescending or sincere? Who knew. So he cut it short.
"I was... worried about YOU..." He sighed. It felt... pointless talking to her right now but... Dammit Dasha.
About that time, a nurse peeked in. "Ah, you're awake. There's a Feliks Laska here to see you if you feel up to the company?"
