A man sitting to the right of the person that just turned over a card let a smile cross his face. Not that the others would be able to see this. He extended a hand that was clad in a white glove he extended his index finger and middle finger sliding the card back towards himself keeping it's face down.
Opening her eyes she looked around at the battle scene, dead were everywhere and even more injured.
"Medic." A voice called somewhere to her far right. She responded immediately running to the two soldiers who were sheltering in a bomb crater. She looked over the soldier that was laying on the ground his eyes were already beginning to pale. She was able to feel his life force failing him and she looked to his partner who held a defensive position over the dying man. "Can you do anything for him?" He asked his voice was panicked as he shot a few more rounds from his gun, large white balls of plasma flying towards their targets and burying deep with in the enemies and then exploding.
"I can only try." She replied as she looked back to the dying man and extended a hand with a half glove on. The bottom of the black glove was removed to allow her to focus her energy to heal. She healed the minor wounds she could find with ease before placing her hands over the center of his chest and focusing with all her mind. The light green glow that emanated from her palms increased to encase the whole of her forearms.
"Thank you." The soldier said in a quiet voice looking to the medic who had obviously used a lot of strength to heal him.
"I shall be fine." She said wandering around looking for others that were injured.
She wandered the battle field her strength depleting as she worked tirelessly to heal all the wounded. It didn't matter to her what side they were on, if they were injured it was her job to heal them. She came across a young alien laying on the ground his life force slowly failing him. She squatted down beside it extending her hands over his chest to heal him. She felt the cool grasp of it's hand around her wrist and looked to it's human like eyes. What she saw there she has never forgotten. She saw true terror in the aliens eyes as it shook it's head.
"I'll help you." she said into the universal translator she carried.
"No. Help need. Dying, No want alone." The alien struggled out. She smiled to the creature squatting still beside it and offering it her water canister which was more then three quarts empty. The alien accepted the water drinking little before smiling to her. "On the day that the three moons rise as one may the gods bless your kind soul" His voice seemed to be released from what ever bound him to the world and his eyes closed as he died.
The battle left her near dead on the battlefield unable to retreat she passed out behind enemy lines. Her vision failed as a soldier was standing over her, She couldn't be sure whether it was a human or an alien nor was she able to find the mental capacity to care. The battle had taken far to much from her, her first time in the field and nothing in her training could've prepared her for such torment. If hell had a place on earth this would be the place.
She awoke to find herself resting in a temporary hospital the other medics had set up. Her sense of duty almost compelling her to run back to the battle had a Nurse not stopped her from moving.
"You've not the energy for that at the moment." The nurse said she was obviously tired her self, this battle seemed to be taking a great toll on every one.
"I must.. The men.. They need me.." She said coughing roughly from exhaustion.
The nurse rounded on her "Your men need someone capable not incapacitated. You've drained yourself to far, We've sent another of our Field medics out, Consider yourself lucky to be alive, It took three soldiers to get you here.." the nurse said walking away leaving her to think.
The card had in the center of it printed precisely:
Field Medic: First Betallion
