Description
The Medical Specialists of NEV "Northern Light" are the main support staff for Aegis. You provide both medical and forensic services. You are neither a grunt nor an operative, you are a nerd with a gun.[br] Specialists play two roles, Medic and Forensics. They do not focus on one of these professions, they commit to both while helping the Inspector with his investigations if asked. To assist with this, here are some important points to remember:
- You are not a doctor. Your job as a medic is to stabilize those under your care, and if needed, ensure they can be transferred to proper medical facilities. You can treat most injuries that Aegis personnel are likely to see in their day-to-day work, including basic surgery to remove bullet shrapnel or to fix broken bones, but you are not trained in advanced medicine, and should transfer those patients to a proper medical bay for treatment. Some specialists may have more advanced medical training from other careers, or simple experience in the field, such care is beyond the scope of your duties, and the provided facilities in the Security Department are not equipped for those operations. Furthermore, while Aegis does not discourage personnel from going above the call of duty, doing so in a medical capacity may open you up to personal liability for any grievance your extra care may cause, whether from patients who did not receive adequate care, or from other Medical staff who may feel your actions impinged upon their duties prescribed by your ship’s Agreement.
- Your duty is to provide care for Aegis personnel, and prisoners under their care, in that order. While you may offer or be asked to provide care for those outside of Aegis, especially during emergencies, it is not a part of your duties, and Aegis does not expect you to assist non-company personnel unless you have been directly ordered to do so by your Gunnery Sergeant, Commander, or the Captain of your vessel.
- While officially the duties of Medic and Forensic Tech are treated equally in regards to importance while on shift, and you must be prepared to do either job. The simple reality is that, due to the emergency nature of medical calls, you must always be ready to drop whatever you are doing to attend to one at a moment’s notice.
Guide
Medical Specialists (MedSpec) play two roles, Doctoring and Forensics. MedSpecs do not focus on one of these professions, they commit to both while helping the Inspector with his investigations if asked.
Doctoring
- The forensics lab has fully equipped surgery table and scanner along with Medical Kits, spare blood bags and Anesthetics. You will mostly do autopsies there, but do not hesitate to perform life saving surgeries if need be (though medbay is always preferable).
- You should always have a Medical Kit on your person along with a Medical Scanner.
- Always use the scanner in the surgery room to check for internal damage of the wounded, and check for implants on suspected Excelsior stowaways.
Forensics There are few important machines in your laboratory office:
- High Powered Electron Microscope - it's used for a lot of things, like inspecting fiber clues and fingerprints.
- DNA Analyzer: Used to determine DNA of the blood samples
- Database computer: It lists records of all the ship's personnel, including their job, blood type, DNA and fingerprints.
- Forensics kit, this is your primary tool of the trade. Your office lab has few more in the lockers.
The Forensics kit includes the following:
- Swab kits: You can use them on items to collect blood samples and on hands of possible perpetrators to collect GSR (Gunshot Residue) samples. Running blood sample through DNA Analyzer in your office, will give you the DNA string of the person that misplaced their blood. You can find person by DNA using your database computer. Inspecting GSR Sample under the microscope, will tell you whether or not the tested person fired a firearm.
- Fingerprint cards: They're used to collect fingerprints from people, for various reasons. Their head might be missing, and you can use collected fingerprints to ID them (using database computer). Or maybe there's a person who is not in the records at all, you can then create record and add the fingerprint to it.
- Luminol bottle + UV light: Detect washed away blood
- Fiber collection kit: Use it to collect fibers from items, doors and such. Collected evidence will appear in a fiber bag, check the bag under your microscope, to get more precise results.
- Fingerprint collection kit: Like one above, but for fingerprints. Use on objects or items, then put the card under the microscope to get the fingerprint string. Run it through database. You got your perp.
Tips
- You are not an Operative. You are not meant to engage criminals unless it's really necessary. Your weapons are for self defense, and you are not armored either; you gonna die quickly in a firefight.
- You have expanded access to medbay (except Surgery). You should still ask permission to enter, but if there is no Medical staff on, you can help people in a pinch.
- It's beneficial to obtain a tablet computer, you can download crew monitoring software, and keep an eye on Aegis staff (and civilians I guess).
- You are a competent surgeon, if there's no REAL doctor, you will do just fine.
