[In a battle like this, it seems like there are almost as many injured to tend to as there are invaders to fight off. For the minor stuff, what to do is a simple decision--get them to the nearest barriered area and let basic first aid do the job until things are less hectic. For the seriously hurt, however, there's no choice but to add to the workload of the resident healers.
Al sends a quick telepathic message that he's on his way with two more in need of help, but when he arrives he's seemingly empty-handed. The only safe way to transport wounded through what's ostensibly a war zone is to put them where they can't be reached. Luckily, Al comes equipped with built in storage space.]

This is abrupt, weird, and not at all how he would have chosen to reveal himself, but protecting people always comes before protecting secrets. Without further preamble he unfastens the chest plate of his armor, revealing two injured Palai curled up in the otherwise empty space inside. One's unconscious and the other's clutching a deep, nasty looking wound running downward from their shoulder.]
