[ It's impossible to read Emily behind her visor, but her hand tightens a little on Kyna's shoulder before she leads the other woman into the ICU, the doors opening for them automatically. The guard escorting them stays two steps behind, politely giving them space but still doing his job.

The area is an open floor plan, beds set up along both walls separated by curtain dividers. The staff here isn't in armor, and their glances at Kyna and her escort are curious but no one approaches. Not yet, at least. Emily pulls back the curtain on the bed closest to the nurse's station on the left -- obviously they're keeping a very close eye on Wash.

He's unconscious, just as Kyna was told. Whether it's sleep, a coma, or just the sedation is impossible to tell at a glance, but at least whatever it is, he's peaceful. Emily wasn't wrong about it looking scary, either. There are wires running from leads on his chest for the monitors, an IV in his arm and heavy bandaging around his neck, besides the intubation tube down his throat. He's pale and there are dark smudges under his eyes, though at least from what she can see exposed by his gown's short sleeves there aren't any other injuries. Emily glances over her shoulder towards the nurse's station and calls for a report on Wash, while Kyna takes the sight in. ]
