[It's probably a good thing Barnaby's vision isn't one hundred percent, because for a moment Kotetsu's expression is one of unrestrained panic. With as long as they've worked together he's seen his partner get hurt his fair share of times, but never like this--completely immobilized from pain and suffering from internal damage Kotetsu can only guess at. His hands hover above Barnaby's shoulders, just short of touching for fear of jostling him further.]

Don't try to talk! It's gonna be okay, just--just give me a minute to get you some help, alright?

[To Samus he shakes his head, yelling over the sound cannon fire.]

I can't move him! You're gonna have to lead that thing away from here!

[It's a big request to make of a total stranger, but right now it's really their only choice. Deep down he understands there's a chance Barnaby wouldn't survive a trip all the way back to the Hold, and that's a risk he just can't take. Tapping on his PDA, Kotetsu records a quick message before focusing his attention back on Barnaby.]
