MED TECH #5
Roy set his container down gingerly, and gestured for the others to hand theirs off to him at the doorway, to limit the number of people who came into the room and saw where the vials were stashed. As he ferried containers from the doorway to the counter next to the cabinet, he explained, "Well, apparently word got to him after Vaka was dropped off that supplies were dwindling. And since we pretty much had control of the ship at that point, with the dropship troopers coming in as reinforcements, Shadow suggested we see if we could find our way to a MedTech area. The Angels weren't going to be needing it anymore, and the dropship troopers probably have no idea what it is, so it would likely have just sat there."
He set down the last container and looked Stefi in the eye. "If he hadn't said something, I would never have thought to go looking for it. We cleaned out that med bay, so there may be more somewhere else on the ship...but with as many vials as it is, and how sparingly it gets used, I figured this would last us a while. And if anyone else in the fleet needed it, you'd know better than I who that would be and how to get it to them."
He shrugged, summing it up by saying, "Thanks to the LC, we should be set for a while. And now we know where to look for it in future engagements. Might want to see about setting up some additional storage...maybe a cooler in the Black Hangar? We can pass word through the fleet that we discovered something on that ship, and any recovered salvage should be checked for medical facilities. If there's more medical sections still intact, we could build up a stock, or send it on to the hospital ships...probably best to NOT let the salvage crews know what we want to recover...maybe let them think there's some kind of infectious agent that we're searching for. I know most of 'em are just doing an honest job...but we've been screwed over too many times by should-be-honest people. What they don't know won't hurt us."
