Role of Medical Gas Manifolds in healthcare industry.

What is a Medical Gas Manifold? Unlike Medical Air Compressors and Vacuum Pumps that generate gas on-site, many gases used in healthcare settings are delivered to the facility in different types of containers and use manifolds to distribute into the rooms.

Gases that can be delivered:

Oxygen – delivery pressure of 50psi Nitrous Oxide – delivery pressure of 50psi Medical Air – delivery pressure of 50psi Carbon Dioxide – delivery pressure of 50-100psi HeliOX blends – delivery pressure of 50psi Nitrogen – delivery pressure of 180psi Instrument Air – delivery pressure of 180psi The 2021 edition of the NFPA99 has the most recent developments in medical equipment and processes as well as new methods to reduce fire, explosion, and electrical hazards.

What Containers are used with Manifolds?

Bulk tanks and micro-bulk tanks are gas containers that get refilled on-site. These are used for large applications and require additional equipment. Sometimes, these are collectively called a tank farm and the pad – which allows access for a truck with cryogenic gas to pull in and fill the tanks. Liquid Dewars and high-pressure cylinders are the types of gas containers that are delivered and replaced when empty. For example, there is an “H-type” high pressure cylinder, which is primarily hooked up to a high-pressure manifold in the healthcare setting. These are very common for ambulatory surgery centers and small outpatient facilities, most of the gases listed above outside of oxygen, still use this type.

High Pressure and Liquid Medical Gas Manifold Installation

Discussing high pressure and liquid medical gas manifolds located indoors, the number one aspect is that it has to be a separate secured room with one hour fire rating used for no other purpose. Your manifold room can only have the manifolds and the container that is being replaced. You can store and keep connected what you’re actually using.

For example, if you have Dewars, you are only able to store Dewars, and then your high-pressure cylinders (H tanks) can go in there. Sometimes people put the vacuum pump and the oxygen manifold in the same room – that is not allowed and very expensive change order. Remember, your manifolds must be in a room all by themselves and be properly labeled.

How do Medical Gas Manifolds Work? With medical gas manifolds, you will have two banks; the primary and the secondary, and they are required to be equal. In regards to space, the primary bank is the one currently supplying the gas, and then the secondary bank will be ready when the primary is depleted. The manifold is required to be fully automatic. Referring to the NFPA applications, the switchover must occur within the manifold, semi-automatic.

What’s Inside a HP Manifold? The manifold is going to come equipped with a three-quarter inch shutoff valve, which makes up a manifold for high pressure. At the bottom of the diagram, is the pressure transducers that are telling you what pressure is happening in each side, your left and right bank, and your primary and secondary. Then, we go into the left and right bank dome regulators. The important part about using the dome biased regulators is that it’s what holds the pressure to allow the whole thing to work off pressure differential.

Heaters

CO2 and nitrous are two gases that can potentially freeze up a manifold. This is caused by a pressure drop and flow across the regulators in the orifice in the manifold. If you’re going to use a manifold with a shuttle valve, you must have a heater for CO2 and nitrous oxide because they leak. Then, you will be left with a slow flow the eventually freezes, so you’ll need to use a heater. We have a high flow dome bias regulator in our manifold, our specification sheets do not specify a heater with a Pattons Medical manifold. It isn’t needed because Pattons Medical picked a regulator that would give us high flow. Pattons Medical also wanted to make it so that heaters weren’t needed because they add to the room which causes another fail point. The heaters basically work by switching on when the room temperature drops below 75 degrees.

Liquid x Liquid Manifold In larger facilities, the number of high-pressure cylinders required to meet the demand can become very high resulting in a huge space requirement and a very labor-intensive change out. In those instances, cryogenic containers become advantageous. If using cryogenic containers, there are options pertaining to the primary and secondary banks. If using a liquid manifold, a HP reserve manifold is required as back-up.

IntelliSwitch Manifold The IntelliSwitch manifold is the product we will need to use if you are using a liquid-by-liquid application or high pressure. One of the unique features of the IntelliSwitch manifold is the flexibility.

When you push the button on the front, it allows you to identify what is being connected to this manifold. What this manifold's able to do is when you tell it what is connecting to it, it will understand what pressure is supposed to see based on the containers being attached.

Alarms

For the manifold, there are local and master alarms. The local alarms are physically on the cabinet and are going to have either green or red lights. These lights will be next to a few phrases; ready, in-use, and replace.

For reference, you should have two green lights for ready, which means you now have a demand. For this example, let’s say this is your primary bank. When it’s depleted, the red light will be next to “replace” and the green light will be next to “ready” and “in-use.”

since it's currently flooding where i live, i'm gonna request firefighter!marauders or emt!marauders (whatever works) saving reader who is trapped in her house with the flood being past the chest or something

andddddd reader has asthma, if ur okay with that? (i have terrible asthma and it's so so annoying honestly)

anyway, thank you for writing all of these fics of yours! they are all so amazing!!!

(also, can i be 🌼 anon?)

Hi lovely, thanks for letting me do just James for this! And ofc you can be that anon <3

cw: water rescue, asthma attack, I did do research but I feel like this can’t be accurate so sorry about that

firefighter!James x fem!reader ♡ 589 words

You wait until you hear the boat motors getting close again before you start to crawl out the window. 

“There!” you hear someone shout, and you nearly collapse with the relief of not having to use your air to call out. The boat rumbles closer, and then a fireman with sweetheart eyes and a mop of curly hair crushing out from beneath his helmet is reaching for you with both hands. 

“Hi, there,” he says, grabbing you around the waist and lifting you the rest of the way out. You brace yourself by putting your hands on his shoulders (his very impressive shoulders, you can’t help but notice, which make you remember how your own clothes are stuck damply to your skin from the chest down). Your lungs burn beneath his hands, no better or worse for his touch. “Is it just you in there?” 

“Yeah,” you wheeze. Another firefighter settles one of those aluminum blankets you’re always seeing on TV around your shoulders. “Just me.” 

“Alright,” he says, dark eyes growing troubled as he processes your onerous breaths. “Are you okay?” 

The pain in your chest worsens as you forcibly expel another breath, dragging in a hasty inhale. “My inhaler got ruined.” 

The man’s expression clears just before his brow creases. “You’re having an asthma attack?”

You nod urgently. 

“Alright, okay. Come here, let’s sit down.” 

He pulls you to the back of the boat, guiding you down onto the rubbery floor while someone else passes him a medical bag. Your knees fold towards your chest automatically, some useless instinct to protect the part of you that’s hurting. It does nothing. 

“Have you had asthma attacks before?” he asks you, digging through the bag. Someone starts driving the boat forward. You start to relax when you see him pull out a mask attached to an air compressor, your salvation.

“Yes.” 

“Compared to the other attacks you’ve had before, how badly would you rate this one on a scale of one to ten?” 

“Six.” You answer without hesitating, familiar with this line of questioning. 

“Alright, lovely.” He finishes affixing the hose to the nebulizer, setting the mask to your face and turning on the air compressor. “Just breathe in for me.” 

You do. The relief isn’t instant, but it may as well be. You feel heaps better just knowing the medicine is working. 

You must look visibly calmer, because the man across from you smiles. It looks at home on his face, and the little crinkles which appear at the corners of his eyes suggest he does it often. 

“There we go,” he encourages. You hope your expression conveys the appropriate gratitude as you take the mask from him, holding it to your own face. “I’m James. You were trapped in there for a while, huh?” 

You nod, and he laughs at your weary look. 

“I’m sorry.” James gives your shoulder a friendly squeeze. His face is remarkably cheery for someone who’s been tasked with boating around and rescuing people all day; then again, as a rescuee, you can see the value of a bright spot in the murk left behind by the floor. As soon as you get this mask off, you think you owe him about a million thanks. “I’m sure it’s been really difficult, but we’ve got food here you can have in a bit, and that thermal blanket should help warm you up quickly enough. Just keep breathing into that thing for another few minutes, love, and then we’ll get you all fixed up.”

[rowiewritesstuff]

Hi! May I request a GN!Human Aircraft maintenance technician X Yandere TFP!Starscream, maybe they find him and fix him up and he decides to take them with him to be his own personal medic?

Yandere Starscream X Aircraft Maintenance Technician

I have 0 clue about jets other than hehe go fast, so the terminology will be pretty rough. Also I was fucking HYPE to write this one y’all.

You worked on aircrafts- and you were damn good at it. Not only were you good at it, but it was your passion. Everyday you get excited to get to your job. You had been doing this for three years as a civilian contractor, so you had ties to the military but weren’t technically part of it. 

The aircraft you were currently working on was a F-16. It was a gorgeous jet, one you’d love to have gone on a ride in. You gently checked around the jet for the problem, seeing that the pre ignition wasn’t firing off correctly. You got up on a tall ladder to fix the issue. You never noticed a huge robot making its way into the base.

Starscream was looking for anything to repair himself after a fight with M.E.C.H.. The organization was extremely pesky and annoying, and they had actually managed to injure him this time. He froze when he saw a tiny human repairing a jet. He looked curious at what the human was doing and stood directly behind them. 

You never noticed the huge bot standing behind you as you worked. When you made your way down the ladder you noticed the pole that wasn’t there before. You slowly looked up to see a huge robot smirking down at you. In an attempt to run away you stumbled over an air compressor and tumbled to the ground with a yelp. 

The robot clicked his tongue at you and laughed. “Well, I never knew you insects were capable of repairing something such as this. I suppose it’s only natural for you to accomplish minor sciences such as this.”

A lump was heavy in your throat. You were stumped at what to say, staring in fear and awe at the sight of him. “W-h-,” you gulped, “What are you?”

The robot laughed again, amused by your stupor. “I am a Cybertronian, from the planet Cybertron- go on, you may bow at your superior.”

Instantly, you felt irritation flood your body. While you didn’t know much about him other than he was a giant alien robot, you knew that he was an arrogant prick. You couldn’t stop your eyes from rolling. 

“How dare you roll your optics at me, fleshling?!” 

“Fleshling? Oh, if we’re slinging insults- why are you shaped like a long toaster?”

An offended sneer grew on his face. “I don’t know what a toaster is, but I am NOT one! I should squash you right where you stand!” He went to slam a hand onto you, but he grunted and grabbed his side in pain. 

You felt slightly bad for it. “Are you…okay?”

His face twisted into a snarl, but then he paused. He looked from you to the jet and then to the tool in your hand. “You are… a medic?”

You blinked. “Uh, I’m an aircraft maintenance technician.” You backed up slightly at the grin that covered his face. His sharp talons descended on you and snatched you off of the ground.

Screams filled the air as you were lifted by your hoodie. “Silence, human!” You shook with fear but grew quiet as the robot’s tone calmed down. “You will repair me, and perhaps I will spare your pathetic life.”

“A-and if I don’t?” The robot tightened its grip on you and you nodded quickly, getting the picture. He could use one finger and turn you into a puddle.

As he put you down and you got your tools, you wondered if you could even repair him. He sat down with a loud clang that startled you. When you began repairs, you noticed the symbol on his chest.

“So… got a name? And what’s that symbol?” You asked as you inspected the damage- it looked simple enough to repair.

The large robot huffed and puffed out his chest. “My name is Lord Starscream, a powerful Decepticon. This is the symbol of our great Decepticon race.” 

“... I see.” You thought that it was weird that he called himself ‘Lord’. It must be a weird power thing. It was clear to you that he wasn’t friendly, though. You just wanted to finish this repair and get out of here.

After welding one area shut gently, you finished. You backed away. “Okay, all done.” 

Starscream stood up, moving his body. He nodded slightly in approval, before glancing at you again. “For a fleshy you did… a decent job. Though not as good as I would have.”

Your eye twitched slightly. “Then why didn’t you do it yourself, if you’re so good at it?” 

He stammered for a moment before huffing in anger. “It was a weird angle! I could have done it myself, but why would I waste my time when I can make someone else do it?!” A threatening step was made towards you, crashing into the ground loudly. Your body fell to the ground. Fear consumed you. 

“O-okay, I get it!” You gulped. “I did what you asked, so let me go!”

Starscream looked thoughtful for a moment. A wicked look spread across his face as he laughed loudly with his raspy voice. “Ah, but perhaps you can still be of use!” 

When he reached out, you jumped up to run away. If you just got further in the hangar, you were sure he couldn’t reach in there or follow you. Ducking under his hand, you slid into the doorway. He waved his hand in the door as far as it could go - it almost reminded you of when someone tried to grab a pickle from a jar.

As you ran through, he shouted at you in a language you knew wasn’t from Earth. You ran to the otherside of the hangar to get out and to your car- you saw the missiles on him, and you wouldn’t stand a chance if you stayed there. 

Fumbling the phone out of your pocket, you dialed a number- your handler, Agent Louis. He picked up after the fourth ring. “What the hell do you want, this better be good seeing that it’s five in the mo-” 

“LOUIS! I’m being fucking chased, I need backup NOW! It’s some kind of robot thing- it’s heavily armed!” You turned the keys, changing the gear. You slammed on the clutch, accelerating at such a fast pace your head spun.

You could hear shuffling. “Where are you? Coordinates!” 

“I don’t know!” you sobbed, “I’m near the base somewhere, going towards the woods- I think if I can get there I can ditch the car and hide!”

“Okay, I’m going to hang up now-”

“No! Don’t ditch me you asshole!” 

“I have to call reinforcements! Just get to the woods and hide!” 

With that, you were alone to your racing thoughts. You heard loud slamming behind you and you looked in your mirror.-Starscream was destroying the base to look for you. He then noticed your Jeep driving away as fast as it would go and did something that shocked you to your core- he changed into a harrier jet to pursue you. 

Your foot lifted slightly on the clutch for a moment in shock, until you snapped out of your stupor and slammed on it again, driving to the woods. You were so close- but you knew deep down you couldn’t outrun a jet. 

The high-pitched sound of a jet echoed in your ears as Starscream pulled ahead of your Jeep. You slammed on the brakes as he transformed before your very eyes. The Jeep was going to flip, but Starscream caught it in his claws. 

You didn’t realize you were screaming until he yelled at you to shut up. His claws scratched along the car, making a horrible noise. Your hands raised up to cover your ears. 

When you looked up, Starscream had a smug look on his face. “Truly, you flesh creatures are such ignorant creatures. Did you really think you could escape me, a superior being?” His claw reached out and trailed against your cheek. “You’re lucky you’re of use to me, or I would have crushed you into paste.”

You shook with fear as he cut the seatbelt with his claw, pulling you out of the car. He transformed and threw you into the air. You landed in the seat of his jet-form and he flew off into the early morning.

Next Chapter:

“I think I found it!” Wrecker grinned, elbow deep in metal from the scrapyard with Omega and Shiani. “This is the compressor Tech was talking about, right?”

Shiani looked up from inspecting a couple pieces of scrap and nodded. “That’s it.” 

Omega grinned, hands full of stuff she’d found. “This is cool. Tech’s going to love it.” 

Shiani inspected the scrap in her friend's palms and chuckled. Tech was going to tell them most of this should have stayed here in the scrapyard, but he knew sending the three of them to find something involved a certain level of distraction. “This is interesting.” She plucked a sort of flat disk from Omega’s hands. “Wonder what this is.” 

“Tech might know.” Wrecker grinned, holding out the box they were putting every interesting thing they’d found in. 

Shiani traced her claw over the edges of it, eyes bright. It was a little adventure, finding things like this. It reminded her of when she first started digging through the scrap settled at the bottom of the ocean, when everything was new and mysterious. No wonder she’d ended up with a shrine of droid heads… AZI probably would have been even more terrified of her if he’d known. As it was, the little medical droid avoided her as much as possible around the bar. “We can go check with Tech, then.” 

“If he doesn’t know, maybe Phee will.” Omega grinned. The pirate was back on Ord Mantell, and Omega loved the stories she told. Even if Shiani thought they were mostly fantasy and embellishment, the siren had to admit she enjoyed the tales. She’d gotten over her jealousy about Phee, since Tech had very bluntly told the woman that they were married after another “Brown Eyes” incident. Phee was nice about it, apologized to Shiani, and gave her the mechanic’s overalls she now wore as a gift. Shiani wasn’t sure they were really friends yet, but she liked Phee more than Cid. And becoming friends with Phee seemed like a worthy endeavor. She was a fun, engaging kind of person who didn’t seem to get too bogged down in things like the guys had a habit of doing. They needed that breath of fresh air in their lives. 

“We can go ask.” Shiani nodded, watching Omega laugh with delight when Wrecker scooped her up onto his shoulders. The tough soldiers were so sweet with the little girl, and if Shiani hadn’t already adored all of the clones she would have fallen in love with the family dynamics here. She happily led the way back to the bar with the box of trinkets and the things Tech had actually asked for. “We’re back!”

Tech was seated at the bar, looking over his datapad and half listening to Phee wow Bolo and Ketch with a story about fighting an octomorph. He wasn’t totally sure what kind of creature it was, unable to find any data on it, but he imagined it looked a little like Shiani. He looked up when she walked over with the parts. “I am glad to see you safe. Did you find the compressor?”

She nodded, setting the box down in front of him. “We ound other cool things too.” 

He picked up the compressor and gave her an affectionate look. “The rest of this could have remained in the junkyard.” 

“I knew you were gonna say that.” She giggled, leaning in to lightly boop her forehead to his. “But this thing is pretty. Baby Mega found it.” She handed him the disk. “What is it?”

He brought it closer to his face curiously, scanning it as he did. “I am unsure. I have never seen anything like it.”

Phee walked over. “Hey, Shiani. What’d you find?”

“I have no idea.” The siren handed it to her with an excited look. “Not knowing is the adventure. Do you know what it is?” 

“Ooh. This is old. Look, these markings here are coordinates.” Phee pointed to a set of engravings as she managed to work the thing open. “It’s a compass.”

Shiani’s eyes sparkled. “Coordinates? Coordinates where?” 

“Looks like the Keldar Trinary system.” Phee said after letting her round little navigation droid scan the compass.

“I have no data on such a system.” Tech frowned, typing at his datapad curiously. “Nor have I ever heard of it.” 

“The best treasures are off grid.” Phee smiled, pulling Shiani by the hand forward. “What do you say? Let’s go on a treasure hunt. If we find anything, we’ll split it. 50/50.” 

Echo scowled. “Our last treasure hunt didn’t go so well.” 

“You didn’t have a professional like me.” Phee spun Shiani around as if she were dancing, then turned her to face the group of brothers. “Give ‘em the big eyes.” 

Shiani blinked and smiled at Hunter, waving for Omega to join her. “We can go? Treasure would be nice, since the War Chest was too dangerous. No Empire this time.” 

Omega gave her best big-eyed baby tooka expression. “Please, Hunter?”

Hunter sighed. “Tech. Your wife is using Omega against me.”

“She is very clever.” Tech sighed, looking at Shiani. She grinned, bouncing on her heels energetically. “She is using herself against him, and it is very effective. Should I begin getting the ship ready?” 

“Please?” Omega’s eyes got big with excitement, and Hunter had no defense against it. 

Wrecker grinned. “It’s not like we have a mission for Cid or anything.”

Hunter groaned. “Alright, fine.” 

Shiani sat comfortably on the floor by Tech’s feet, watching Hunter as he watched Phee tell Omega a story. The sergeant was twirling his knife, eyes narrowed. “He doesn't like Phee.” She murmured, putting her head lightly against Tech’s knee. 

“You did not like her when you met her.”

“She was flirting with my husband. Hunter’s not married.” Shiani smiled as he rested his hand on one of her head tentacles. Squeeze squeeze squeeze. 

“No, but he is very protective of Omega. Of the five of us, he has become the most parental towards her.” 

“Hunter is her dad.” Shiani smiled up at him. “Makes sense, he’s the leader and oldest brother, right?” 

“Yes… I am the second oldest. Then Wrecker, then Crosshair. I believe Echo is older than all of us, but he was not originally part of this squad.” His voice trailed off in a way she recognized, a way that only happened when Crosshair came up. 

She put her head on his knee. “You miss him. Crosshair.”

“I do.” He admitted. “We were… very opposite. But in a way, we understood each other better than the others did. We… filled in places for the other. Other than you, I do not believe I have ever been so understood.” 

Shiani looked up at him, listening in silent but complete attention. Tech knew he could tell her anything and she’d accept every word with the same open expression she always did. He gently ran his fingers against the roundness of her cheek and sighed, debating over what to say to convey what he thought. Shiani gently nuzzled into his hand. “You can tell me.” She murmured. “I don’t know Crosshair, other than your words. Tell me about your brother, so I can miss him with you.” 

“He is quiet. And observant.” Tech said softly. “He used to tell me I talked too much, but he would still sit in the cockpit during my turn on deck and listen to whatever I said. He was the first to notice I required glasses when we were cadets, because I was often squinting and his vision was immaculate… He would keep me from walking into walls when I was on my datapad while moving, or remind me to eat when he noticed I hadn’t. Before you, he was the one who scolded me for falling asleep over my work… he’d take my glasses and bundle me in blankets so I couldn’t move until I fell asleep. He could be abrasive and confrontational, but when he cared for something it was obvious if you knew where to look. He… loved quietly.” 

Shiani wrapped herself around his leg gently, nuzzling against him. “He still loves quietly. No Empire has come after us since Kamino.”

Tech frowned. “I do not see the correlation between avoiding the Imperial radar and Crosshair-” 

“If Crosshair didn’t love you, he would have told the Empire we were still alive. He didn’t.” She looked up. “And all he kept asking, on Kamino, was for you all to join him. He ordered someone to put Omega in a shuttle off world, not hurt her. I think… he just wanted to be a family again, too. He was misguided, but I don’t think he really wanted to hurt any of us after what happened on Bracca. Maybe that was when the chip stopped working so much.” 

Tech frowned, brow furrowed behind his glasses. “He was burned by the ion engine on Bracca. It is… plausible. But he still made the decision to remain with the Empire.”

“You said he is observant.” She pointed out. “Observant nature is usually a cautious person. Maybe he thought we were destined to die, so he took the safe route. Even if it hurt.” 

“I hope you are right.” Tech murmured after a few moments. “I would like to think the Crosshair I know is still there, instead of replaced by an Imperial drone.” 

Shiani smiled up at him as the tension in his shoulders slowly relaxed, and she took his free hand to kiss his palm. “I believe he is. He’ll figure out he loves his family more than he’s afraid of leaving the Empire, and he’ll come back.”

Tech smiled, squishing her cheek lightly in a trio of pinches. “I think it will be entertaining, watching him adjust to you and Omega. You both are vivacious. You will drive him insane.” 

Shiani giggled. “Challenge accepted.” 

Tech glanced up at the instruments and sighed. “We are approaching the coordinates Phee provided. Are you ready for this?”

She nodded. “Always ready to adventure with you, Tech.” 

He smiled, bringing them out of hyperspace and starting the landing procedures on the planet that came into view. As they entered the atmosphere, Shiani got up from the floor with an uncomfortable feeling in her chest. The dust flew up when the landing gear made contact with the ground, obscuring the majority of her vision. Tech got up and waved for her to follow him once the ground security was prepped. “Come along, cyar’ika.” 

“There’s a weird feeling on this planet, Tech.” She got into the middle of their usual formation, next to Omega, as Phee led them out. 

“Tell me about it.” Hunter frowned, looking around. The entire planet seemed scorched and desolate, as if it had never recovered from some long-forgotten battle. 

Echo frowned. “How do you even tell if-” He jolted when the compass he’d been holding buzzed against his palm. “Well shit. Uh… “

“Turn in circle.” Shiani giggled. “Maybe the vibrations are stronger in the right direction?”

Echo rolled his eyes, but did a sort of exaggerated pirouette and gave her a disgruntled look. “You… are correct. It’s stronger this way, towards the mountain.” 

Shiani grinned. “My brain’s not full of bubbles, Echo.” 

“Yeah, yeah.” He led them the direction the compass led, still somewhat skeptical while Omega was delighted that this seemed to be panning out. She loved the thrill of adventure, and held onto Shiani’s hand as they made their way along. 

“What kind of treasure do you think we’ll find, Shiani?” She peeped.

“Dunno that there is any treasure on a planet like this.” The siren shook her head and gestured at the barren and scorched forest of dead trees. “Everything’s burned here.”

Omega scrunched her nose. “Well, I think there’s treasure.”

“I hope you’re right.” 

They reached a dead end at the foot of the mountain, and everyone looked up. “Do we go around it?” Omega frowned. 

“I think we’re supposed to go inside.” Phee sounded excited, and her little droid Mel booped at them as she inspected a seam in the mountainside. The pirate drew her cutlass and wedged it between two stones. When she wiggled it, they moved as if hinged but stuck, instead of as if they held the weight of the mountain on top of them. “Big guy, help me here.”

Wrecker, agreeable as ever, walked over and got his hands between the rocks. He shoved, pulling them apart like a doorway. Shiani and Hunter both wrinkled their noses at the smell of stale air coming from inside. “I don’t like this.” The sergeant muttered. 

“Nonsense. Follow me.” Phee stepped inside, and begrudgingly the little group followed her lead and walked inside as well. Her hands pressed to the cavern walls, where inscriptions had been carved. “I don’t believe it. It’s Skara Nal! There could be relics here from the time of the ancients?”

Shiani leaned over to look curiously. “Ancients? What ancients?”

Wrecker cocked his head to the side. “Like the Jedi?”

“Older.” Phee shook her head. “If this is Skara Nal, the treasure is known as the Heart of the Mountain.” 

Shiani poked at the wall. “Oh. This moves.”

“It’s a puzzle.” Phee nodded. “We have to align the symbols. Here, start turning them.”

Tech nodded, following her lead from the other side to try to align his symbols with Shiani’s. It seemed to be working until a massive boulder fell from the roof, trapping them and nearly squishing Wrecker to death on its descent. 

Hunter growled. “Great. We’re trapped.”

“Easy. There’s always a way out, tough guy.” Phee smirked. 

“Just gotta figure it out.” Shiani nodded, fingers brushing the stone walls again. “... The Temple in Acopit had runes like this. When sirens sang, hidden symbols would light up.” 

Omega looked thoughtfully at where the siren was touching. “Hey, Echo? Can I see the compass?”

He handed it over with a nod. “It’s not buzzing anymore.” 

Omega nodded back, putting it up to her eye curiously. It had a purplish sort of lens inside, and when she turned to look through it she saw markings that hadn’t been visible before. “Hey! We’re aligning the wrong symbols!”

Phee peeked over at the lens and grinned, flipping her lanturn over. “Put it over the light.” 

Once the cavern was bathed in purple light, Shiani had to resist the urge to scoot closer like a moth but they could see to property align the symbols. A doorway formed once it was done, and Shiani bounced on her heels and clapped her hands. “It worked!”

Omega squealed with delight. “We’re gonna find the Heart of the Mountain!”

Phee laughed. “It’s supposed to be a crystalline structure worth more than you can possibly imagine.”

Hunter sighed. “It better be worth it.” 

Phee patted Mel’s head. “Log everything and wait for me to get back.” 

They proceeded into the doorway, with most of them carrying renewed vigor for the adventure. Tech was scanning the walls, hanging near the back of the pack with Shiani. “Look at this, cyar’ika. My preliminary scans of the wall stones indicate this structure predates the Galactic Republic. Phee may be on to something.” 

Shiani leaned over to look at the datapad, bursting with followup questions about the age of the Republic versus the history she knew of Kamino. Before she could ask them, though, her ear fins flattened and head jerked up. Hunter was spinning around on his heel at the same time, both of them sensing danger. A huge reptile dropped from the ceiling with a growl and latched onto Wrecker, who was spared serious injury only by his armor and the split second warning they’d given him so he could grab it by the neck. 

When everyone else was pulling a blaster, Shiani just dove on the lizard and sank her teeth into its tail viciously, claws raking its back and legs. It let go of Wrecker and slammed her into the wall to dislodge her, skittering back into the ceiling it had come from. Rocks and debris rained down on them, everyone bailing one way or the other to avoid being crushed. Hunter, Omega, and Phee ended up on one side of the cave in, with Shiani and the other three clones on the other. 

Tech was already by Shiani’s side to check her over as Echo tried to communicate with the others through the new stone wall. When yelling didn’t work, he commed Omega. “You guys okay?”

“We’re okay, but the rocks are stuck pretty good. We can’t get back to you.”

Tech glanced at his datapad. “My scanners indicate a series of side tunnels. We will have to use them to rendezvous with them.” He looked back at Shiani. “Are you alright?”

“I’m okay. Think that lizard thing is in tunnels?” She wiped the reptile blood from her mouth and smiled. “It would make a good snack.” 

“You cannot attempt to eat everything that attacks us.” He smiled, relieved she was her usual self, and helped her to her feet. 

“If it tries to eat my family, I can.” She huffed. 

Echo chuckled. “You good, Wrecker?”

“Yeah, it didn’t get me. Thanks, Shiani.” He followed Tech as the genius started trying to find a tunnel to get them back to the rest of the party. He and Echo kept their blasters out, in case the lizard came back. Shiani just kept her eyes sharp, claws tapping lightly against her hips as she walked. 

“How’d you know that thing was coming?” Echo finally asked as they took another turn. “Hunter’s got those senses, but you keep predicting things coming at us. Like the nexu on Salucemi, or the Ordo Moon Dragon.”

“Everything has a feeling.” She explained. “An… energy. Sometimes you can hide your own, if you know how. Sentient beings can. Animals can’t, they don’t know how. But sirens can feel it when they come, especially when they have strong emotions inside, like hunger.” 

Echo glanced at Tech. “Sounds a lot like something my old general told me. Jedi stuff.”

Shiani shrugged. “Dunno anything about Jedi. Only heard about them from the Temple Tidedreamers.” 

Before Echo could respond, they approached a corner. “Keep alert for that creature.”

Shiani gently pushed his blaster down towards the floor. “Can feel Hunter, Phee, and Omega. No lizard this time.”

Tech nodded and they came around the corner, finding the other three standing in front of a circular door. His eyes lit up at it, and he stepped up to it. “What sort of puzzle is this?”

“Sometimes a door is just a door.” Phee snickered, looking at Shiani. The siren was smiling fondly at her clone, hands behind her back and bouncing her heels. “Ready to see the vault?” She asked, pulling a hidden lever into view.

Shiani nodded, eyes bright as Phee pulled the lever and the door opened. As they stepped through, she found herself looking at the walls of the vault curiously. “It looks like a machine, Tech.”

“No machine I’ve ever seen.” He agreed with a nod. “If this is older than the Republic, imagine what we could learn here.” 

Shiani booped his nose and giggled. “Imagine what I could build if I could get a look inside these walls.” 

“Hey, nerd lovebirds.” Phee snickered, pointing. “There’s what we really came for. The Heart of the Mountain.” In front of them sat a faintly glowing rectangle of glimmering crystal, inset with carvings and pulsing purple light from inside. 

“Pretty.” Shiani smiled, still looking at the wall for some kind of access panel. She wanted desperately to see the guts of this vault and find out what made it tick. If she could build something that lasted thousands of years, it would be strong enough to keep them all safe. A stronghold of durasteel and wiring, like a castle to keep out the Empire or selfish hearts like Cid.

Phee simply popped the crystal from its stone placeholder, grinning. “You two are made for each other. Looking at literal treasure and-”

No sooner was the crystal in her hands than every door sealed shut and the walls lit up with more symbols. Omega  took a nervous step backwards. “What's going on?”

The vault shifted at a crack of white-blue light and shot upwards, standing on four legs. Everyone went sliding, realizing in sick horror they were in the head of a dormant war machine that had come awake. 

Far more terribly, as it walked it let out a deafening noise and a blast that scorched the earth ahead of it.  

Shiani grabbed Tech and Omega as they went sliding. “Phee, put the Heart back!” She squeaked.

Tech nodded, dangling from her tentacle and working at his datapad. “It should theoretically disable the machine.”

“Do you have any idea what this is worth?!” Phee gasped. 

Shiani bared her teeth, startling the pirate who’d never seen her fact contort. “The whole planet looks like ash and you're worried about credits?!” Shiani growled at her. “What about your friends?!”

“If this thing destroys the Marauder we'll be trapped here.” Hunter snapped.

“Fine. But you owe me!” Phee groaned. 

Hunter looked like he wanted to punch Phee, but held his tongue. Shiani was considering giving her a smack with a tentacle when the loud  screeching wail from the lizard attack earlier rang out. She looked at Tech. “Help Phee. I'll deal with the creature!”

The lizard smashed its way into the vault, headed straight for Omega like she was a prized meal. Wrecker was clinging to its tail to keep it off her while the little girl tried to stand her ground with her bow. Shiani dove on the lizard's back, teeth sinking into its neck and claws hanging on when it started screaming and bucking.

“Omega, the window!” Wrecker yelled, and the perceptive little blonde fired off a couple shots to break the war machine’s eye out. As soon as it was clear, Shiani dismounted her shrieking opponent and let Wrecker hurl it out the window. 

“Bye snack.” She muttered, getting to her feet and skidding over to Tech, who was trying to interface with the machine and turn it away from the ship. 

“Nothing is working. It operates on no system I've ever seen.” He said tensely. “I cannot control it.”

“Shiani, catch!” Hunter yelled, and the siren turned and grabbed the flying Heart from midair. She all but slammed it into the spot it had come from, shielding her eyes when it flared bright and melted. 

The lights went out immediately, the beam of destruction petering out before it could destroy their ship. There was an eerie silence but for their overlapping breathing. “Is it… over?” Wrecker whispered. 

Under their feet, the machine lurched. Out of power, it couldn't keep itself upright and started listing over for a sharp collapse to the dirt. “Hold onto something!” Hunter yelled.

Shiani wrapped a tentacle around a piece of jutting stone, securing herself. “Baby Mega, grab Hunter!” 

The sergeant wrapped his arms around Omega, and Shiani caught him with another tentacle around the waist. She grabbed Wrecker and Echo similarly, then caught Tech with her legs and Phee with her arms, clinging for dear life as they crashed to the ground. The strain and jar was painful, but everyone bounced like a yo-yo instead of splattering into the ash of the desolate planet. The head they were in destroyed the better part of a hillside in the collapse.

When everything stopped moving, they were all dangling like marionettes. Shiani winced and slowly set them to the ground before kind of flopping down herself. “Everybody okay?” She mumbled. 

“We're alright.” Echo nodded. 

Hunter checked Omega and sighed. “No more treasure hunting, guys.”

“Agreed. Our track record is 0 for 2, even with a professional.” Tech glanced at Phee before he knelt by Shiani, checking her over.

“We proved it was real, even if it melted.” Omega looked undeterred. 

“At least no one can use that… whatever kind of weapon it was, again.” Hunter took his helmet off and looked at the desolation around them again. Sometimes he wondered how this kind of shit kept happening to him. All he wanted was to earn enough credits to look after his squads without something trying to shoot them, eat them, or blackmail them.

“So it's a good thing we came.” Phee, like Omega, was never one to be put down by a near death experience. She looked at Shiani. “You okay?”

“Pulled muscles in all my tentacles. And shoulder.” Shiani groaned, turning her limbs to display the already spreading greenish bruises at the base of all four tentacles. The muscles had torn from the sheer force of the fall and everyone's weight coming to a sudden stop.  

Tech scooped her up onto his arms. “We'll get bacta on that when we get to the ship. I have a couple e-bacta shots for subcutaneous injury.”

“Why didn't you tell me we had those when you broke your leg?” Shiani grumbled, but put her good arm around his neck. 

“I forgot about them. My apologies, cyar'ika.”

Omega snickered from behind them, walking with Phee. She knew good and well Tech never forgot anything. He just didn’t want to use the precious few e-bacta shots on himself when there was a chance anyone else might need them. The pirate body looked amused. “I'm sorry about Mel, Phee.”

“It's okay. I have his memory data backed up on my ship. He'll be back up and running by the time we get to Vadnay. I've got a lead on an ancient chalice-” Phee went right into her newest story as they loaded into the Marauder. 

Shiani let Tech give her a couple pinpointed bacta shots in her torn muscles and assure her shoulder wasn't dislocated before he put her arm in a sling. “You probably saved all our lives.” He kissed her forehead. “Though I do wish you would stop getting hurt.”

“Things happen.” She snuggled closer. “I'd do anything for the family. And follow you anywhere you go.” 

“I know that you would. You are the bravest siren in the galaxy. I do not believe that to be an exaggeration.”Tech wrapped his arms around her waist.

Squeeze squeeze squeeze.

I don't understand myself sometimes. I make a nice breakfast - biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs. I get everyone up to eat it and they do. And now they're all awake and wandering around doing stuff and trying to talk to me and I wish they weren't here.

I'm so dumb.

Anyway, I'm leaving to gather eggs. Let them do the laundry, consult about medication, 'where's the cat's toy?', 'hey have you seen this video?', and 'Liverpool isn't doing so well in the standings this week!' on their own. Even my work was calling me: 'I bought an air compressor housing back in 2022 and I'm standing in warehouse 2 not able to find it.' WTF, dude? Anyway, I hooked him up with a better guy to help him and I'm off to see the chickens.
