Hey, everyone- for those who haven't met me, I'm Dr. Keller, medical officer on the Wonderduck. And even if we have spoken in the past, I've got a favor to ask- specifically, of anyone who has any sort of medical training or healing magic or the like. See, Dr. McCoy made the suggestion of having a list of people with such abilities handy in case of an emergency, and I agree wholeheartedly.

I've created a document- here on the network- and I'd appreciate it if anyone who is a healer of some sort could fill it out. It's just the basics- your name, what ship you're on, and what your abilities are. Even if you've just been taking first aid lessons from me, it's still valuable to know.

I know it can be hard to think about, but we never know what Atroma might be cooking up for us next. So it's important to have an idea of who can be directed where, if it ever comes to the point where we have a mass casualty event. A few minutes can make all the difference.

Thank you.

All very useful things. I'd actually like to hear some of your herb knowledge in return- that's one of my weak points. I have technology similar to the Fleet's back home, so I'm still learning how to use plants and herbs to supplement the tech.

I'm not certain if this place has herbs that are similar to the ones I know at home, but I could teach you what I do know. Salves are especially useful.

[She nodded.]

There's also a garden on the Iskaulit, and some of us are growing medicinal plants. I have a list that was being kept by Simon, who's since left the Fleet, of some of the plants we're growing and their effects, as well.

[goodandtrue]

There is? Could I take a look and see if there are any that I recognize?

[forsometimenow]

Absolutely. And even if not, well, we can always experiment with stuff, right? [Jennifer attaches a text file. There's nothing fancy, just plants that do basic things like help soothe a burn, settle an upset stomach, or relive a fever.]

[goodandtrue]

So long as we don't attempt those experiments on ill or injured crew members.

[forsometimenow]

Absolutely. I'm more than willing to try on myself if I'm ever sick, though.

[goodandtrue]

I'll bear that in mind. So long as it doesn't lead to you becoming ill.
