Doctor Raphael Vitella headed deeper into the colony ship with the rest of the refugees who had already exited the boarding tunnel, amazed by what he saw. He had never been aboard a colony ship and never seen the inside of one. "Get comfortable, people. This is gonna be our home until we reach our destination." Doctor Vitella heard one of the refugees say to the others, stopping and turning around to face them. "I ain't gonna lie to y'all. The trip to humanity's new home is gonna be a long one. A lot of you will be placed in statis by the colony ship's crew to conserve resources." Raphael Vitella said to the others before continuing to follow the female Kiellar deeper into the colony ship. 

"I would like to thank you for escortin' me to the Medical Bay. The sooner I can get settled in, the sooner I can begin treatin' the wounded. The Chief Medical Officer will need all the help he can get with all the injured refugees who will be coming aboard." Doctor Raphael Vitella said to the female Kiellar. He heard two pairs of footsteps in the distance.

Vitiafa listened to the man as they moved through the metal corridors within the colony ship. Their footsteps were audable, especially as the kiellar had a way of marching while under stress despite the difficulty brought about by her leg. Her expression remained serious, even if she found the optimism presented by the man as endearing. Hopefully, he could maintain it, but Vitiafa feared that he too would crack once given time to process the events that had played out around them.

"Chief Medical Officer?" Vitiafa cocked an eyebrow as she gestured to the door, perhaps more adequately described as an airlock, into the medical bay. Waiting inside was a well ordered, well stocked, and pretty much untouched medical bay. One large enough to serve as a hospital for early colonial efforts, but the lack of extra hands was a stark reminder of the reality against the image of an optimistic future.

"I pray that we should lucky," the Kiellar sighed, "but specialist hands are rare. Gods willing, one should be evacuating here, but you are all we have right now. So familiarize yourself with the space, and brace for whatever trouble might come. I do have medical training if you need assistance, but I am trying to coordinate our efforts."
