he leans against the railgun, starts to push it towards the entrance forgetting about cassie. he binds two wires and starts to power up. it starts glowing a bit from the inside, when he looks up and remembers cassie was there, "you might wanna get out of the way you know." he says calmly, not that worried for her. he steps back a bit, but then it goes off way too early and causes a minor explosion.

Cassandra slowly backed away from the weapon at Raydon's suggestion. Suddenly, something exploded.
She let out a short, startled scream and fell back on her left hand, feeling a streak of pain in her wrist when she landed.
Pulling it back instantly, she called out to the inventor, with a hint of pain in her voice, "Hey, Raydon, are you okay?"

"um… yeah i should be fine. or i'll die in 5 minutes or less." he said limping over to her dragging his left foot, he had a long cut on his forehead, ignoring most of the pain. "hey are you alright? you look like you had a tough fall." he said wincing only a bit when he accidentally steps on his bad leg.

"Oh my gosh," she gasped, hurrying over to him. "Well yeah, compared to you." She tried to sling his right arm over her shoulder, without using her left hand.
"There, where should I set you down and do you have a first aid kit somewhere?" Cassie asked, a bit worried for him.

"no i'll probably be fin-" * COUGH!* "im fine, i just landed… i think a knife, or something. but are you alright?"

"What? You landed on a knife?" She looked around carefully, "Should- should I put you on the floor? And yeah, I'm fine. Probably just sprained my wrist, its not a big deal."

'we might die now, just so you know. so you might want to do something' 3 said "yeah, i need help. i have a first-aid kit on the other side of the garage, it needs a refill but there should be enough."

"Alright," she nodded and headed towards the other side of the garage. She suddenly stopped and looked at her clothes, "By the way, do you have some scissors I can borrow?"

he wipes some blood from his face "not scissors, but i do have knives back over where i fell" he says getting up and going back to the railgun remains to inspect them.

"Okay," she answered out loud, How the heck am I gonna use a knife, though?

"Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?" she said, noticing Raydon getting up, "Sit down, you're gonna bleed out if you get up," she warned, then cautiously walked to where Ray said the knives were.

he waves her away, and keeps searching through for intact parts "im bleeding anyways, so it doesn't matter if i move." and at that moment he gets light headed and falls over. "oww. that hurts, but i don't think your engine is broken."

"See, what did I tell you," she said, reaching her right hand out to help him get up. "Now sit down where I put you and stay there… please? We'll talk about my engine later, first we'll focus on your health."

inside the first-aid was just a bunch of band-aids and a half filled bottle of antiseptic "hey do you think i could build an actual robot and implant my consciousnesses? well other than 4 of course."

After helping Ray, Cassandra just grabbed the antiseptic and tried to get a decent knife, "What do you mean? Hey, do you have any clean clothes that you don't wear anymore?"

"ummm clothes? yeah i think i should have some in a drawer. and 4 isn't exactly one of us. he wants to be in control, he wants to be a person. but 1, 2, 3 are perfectly fine doing this my whole life. i also need a job."

"Okay, which one? Oh… okay that makes sense. I guess?"

"yeah… i actually need to eat soon if i survive. oh and it's the third drawer to your left." he says casually "OH! wait can't i just go to the hospital?"

She froze in her steps, "Oh, right." You numbskull, you literally forgot about calling the hospital? "Well, we still need to control your bleeding," she said quickly grabbing two long sleeved shirts.

She pressed one folded shirt onto his bleeding wound without any problem, but once she tried to tie the other shirt around his head, she cried out. "Here, can- are you able to tie that tightly around your head for me?" Cassandra asked, holding the wrist that was starting to bruise.

With her unharmed hand she carefully pulled her phone from her purse and tried her best to dial 911.

"yeah… ok, be careful with your hand." ray says, and holds the cloth to his head, "911 what's your emergency?" the operator says as they pick up.

"Yeah, hi." Cassie spoke a bit nervously through the phone, "So, my friend's head is bleeding out and I'm pretty sure he hurt his leg too. I haven't checked it yet though."

She was mildly surprised she had called the dude "friend" but paid more attention to helping him. "He also feels very lightheaded, and I think he might pass out anytime soon. I already tried applying pressure to the wound. Oh, and also, I sprained my wrist, but it doesn't look too bad."

ray holds the cloth to his head "are you… calling them? i thought we had to walk." he says confused. "could you tell me where you are and what happened?" the operator says with a bit more urgently, talking to people in the background.

Cassia muted herself on the phone call and turned to Ray, "Well, yes. You're not going to be able to walk like that, you're literally bleeding out." She un-muted herself and talked to the operator over the phone, "Well- well we're in a garage a bit ahead of Willow Leaf Park. Um…"

She paused, trying to figure out whether to tell them what really happened or just make up an excuse, "so my friend was fixing my car and something malfunctioned, I think. I couldn't see exactly what happened though."
