[ The banging on the wall does help - Ben at least knows which direction he should be heading in, although it takes a couple tries to find the correct turns to take. He is close when Ben hears Pratt cry out. The noise is so clearly one of distress that Ben breaks into a run, turning a corner to see his friend just as he is hitting the ground. ]
Pratt!
[ He rushes over, head whipping around as he searches for any sign of an attacker - but there is no one. Nobody here in this place but him and Pratt. There are no signs of any external injuries, no hint that anything has happened to him. Ben grabs his shoulder, shaking him hard. ]
Can you hear me? Oh, shit -
[ Ben's heart is racing and he doesn't know what he's going to do. He doesn't think he's strong enough to pick Pratt up and carry him. Could he? If he had to? What if he is dying and needs the med-bay and Ben is killing him by hesitating, by not trying. Voice tight he says: ]
