My name is Dr. Jean Brill, chief of medicine and head of operations aboard the independent hospital ship Panacea. As our communications officer explained to your colleagues, Misters Hopf and Hollywood, yesterday, we are employed by the Pentshire Foundation, a humanitarian non-governmental organization, whose main goal it is to provide medical and other humanitarian aid to those in need, regardless of affiliation.

As such, when requested for assistance by Misters Hopf and Hollywood yesterday at your Pacifica Station in Bering, we of course gladly obliged. I am both happy and slightly concerned to report that our ship's staff and facilities are a not insignificant improvement over the ones available on the station. I would highly recommend investing in more modern, more expansive medical facilities aboard Pacifica.

Regardless, I had our staff put operations aboard the Panacea on hold to instead concentrate on treating those in need aboard your station. Initial suspicions of your comrades were quickly dispelled and treatments administered rapidly and effectively.

I took the liberty of quartering eight volunteering doctors and nurses aboard Pacifica, to continue the treatment of your comrades during the Panacea's absence - as we are needed elsewhere, too. These staff members of mine will, if you do not object, remain aboard the station until the Panacea next returns to Pacifica. I expect my staff to be treated with respect and dignity during their stay - should I receive complaints from them, our operation aboard the station will be aborted immediately.

I look forward to continuing our assistance of the men and women aboard Pacifica Station and elsewhere, should you so request. This channel will remain open for future communications.

I appreciate your offer of protection, however, the Pentshire Foundation tries to maintain absolute neutrality. Should we run into trouble, we will do our utmost to deal with it ourselves.

As for expanding your station's medical infrastructure, that may be a bit of an undertaking. If you are interested, I could put together a rough estimate of required goods, supplies, and resources and where to obtain them for that purpose. Until then, I would recommend obtaining and installing a number of mobile medical units. While not as comprehensive as full medical suites, they are quite effective and easy to use and maintain.

If you have further need for assistance by the doctors of the Pentshire Foundation in the future, feel free to contact us.

The following list should cover the supplies needed to equip a medical facility suitable for the size of Pacifica Station, providing sufficient equipment and materials to operate for several months (assuming an average rate of injury and disease among the population of the station).

• 1,000x Bio-Stability Monitors
  
• 5,000x Med-Stasis Bands
  
• 5,000x Oxygen
  
• 10,000x Pharmaceuticals
  
• 5,000x Water
  
• 100x HazMat Canisters
  
• 500x Lasers
  
• 1,000x Nano-capacitors
  
• 2,000x Nanomembrane Filters
  
• 1,000x Nanotubes
  
• 1x Research Corps
  

Whether Pacifica has a space capable of being repurposed as a medical facility, I do not know, as I did not take the time during my visit to inspect the station. If not, one will have to either be cleared or a module will need to be constructed and joined to the rest of the station. As for who may obtain and deliver these supplies, I'm afraid the Foundation won't be able to offer much assistance in that regard. The Panacea is not a transport vessel. You will have to reach out to other partners or contractors for that purpose.

Further, I noticed that the medical staff already aboard Pacifica was rather lacking in training and expertise. I recommend either hiring additional practitioners or allowing the members of my staff currently on the station to train yours.
