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.

[She nodded.]

I've heard from another gentleman who can brew potions, as well- do you all have the supplies you need to make them? I know we're growing some plants on the Iskaulit, and of course people have picked things up whenever we're planetside. But you're right, anything we can do to speed things up or counteract sicknesses would be a boon.

[He nods as well.]

There's a small garden on the Three Twins that is mostly being used for medicinal herbs as well as our Captain's flowers, but Hermione and I have made a greenhouse on the Iskaulit stricktly for potion-making materials. Anyone's welcome to it and welcome to grow stuff there as long as it's functional.

[He gave a small smile.]

We figured having that kind of space might free up room in the garden for food or flowers or whatever else anyone wants to grow.

[forsometimenow]

Oh, that's pretty handy, and I'm glad the two of you are on top of that. I'd like to take a look at it some time, if that's okay. I might not know much about brewing potions, but some of the ingredients may still come in handy by themselves, too.

[apurrstate]

Of course! You're welcome to come whenever and one of us could introduce you to any plants you don't know but might find useful, like elfroot.

[forsometimenow]

OK, I'm intrigued by that name- what does elfroot do?

[apurrstate]

[He chuckled.]

Well, it got it's name because ancient elves used it first. It's a powerful healing herb that's used as the base of most restorative potions back home. Thankfully, the stuff grows like a weed, so it's easy to come by and grow.

[forsometimenow]

Well, that's a relief. I'd definitely like to expand my plant knowledge in general, since that's an area I'm sorely lacking in. Back home, I took it for granted that I'd just have all the drugs I needed available and never had to worry about making anything.
