“Sir, the Captain has made a deal with the aliens. They’re going to help heal the wounded. Personally, I can’t wait to see what happens, but I don’t know my way around the civilians yet. Do they all have masks? Do we just get them out here and see what happens? I could use some help.”

"I see, Dr Lambert," Jack replied, an irritated look flashing across his face but never reaching his voice. He glanced back at the other department heads. "I was unaware they'd progressed so far in their studies of human anatomy. Did the captain say how soon she'd want this?"

On the one hand, they'd have wounded people returning to duty quickly, less work for the medical department. On the other hand, once the locals knew how to fix humans, they'd also know how to injure and kill them, as well. But humanity had been doing it for millennia, why expect any advantages here?

His cool gaze shifted to the doctor and he gave him a slight nod.
