Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

Planet Leeds, Leeds System

To blend in, he left his well known attire on ship. Rather, a pair of jeans, plain shirt and a brown, leather coat seemed more fitting. He kept his shoulder holster under his coat and tucked the other pistol in his pant line. His medical bag was carried in his left hand and his hair ran over his shoulders slightly un-kept to not look to foreighner like. His escorts dressed much the same and kept their heads on a swivel as they traveled.

Leeds was a mess. For now, he saw no resistance or oppressed citizens. Together they decided to head into the ghettos where they knew people in need would be. His quest was for children, women and older folk who couldn't help themselves and needed to get out. The Resistance would be fine as would the Royal military. Each fought each other to the death as evidenced by a rotting corpse, presumably a member of the Resistance, left to just rot. Doc took what ID he could find and moved on. "So this is what it's come to here," he commented to himself.

Entering a ghetto area, he remembered it before the occupation, before the Kusari war. It was once a thriving place of working people. Now people worked only to survive day to day. The Royals check point knew what was going on as they sort of snickered when Doc passed through. "Don't get yourself killed," they quipped.
It was hard to tell if the body against a wall was sleeping or dead. Did he want to check them for fear that it might be a trap by a thief? Instinct made him check with his escort behind him. In one case, he gave a drink of water, another man was dying and all that could be done was to make him comfortable and yes, one person lay dying. The more Doc saw, the more angry he became.

He remembered how the Royals wanted to make people pay for the sins of generations ago. This wasn't revenge. It wasn't pay back, it was just plain cruelty. He made sure that pictures were taken for his files. He continued his search for the children caught in the mess.
