 ====== MEDICAL STATION OF NEW KOUROU (BETA AGE) ======
+{{:medical_station_of_new_kourou_pharmacy_of_new_kourou_scenic2d.png?direct&400|}}
 ===== Overview =====
   * **Location:** Public Services Ring, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]
-  * **Address:** NE Thoreau Road 4
+  * **Address:** NE Public Services Ring Road 2
-  * **Surroundings:** Flanked by the [[Hospital of New Kourou|Hospital of New Kourou]] on one side and the [[Pharmacy of New Kourou |Pharmacy of New Kourou]] on the other, forming a compact medical cluster in the ring’s eastern quadrant.
+  * **Surroundings:** Nearby the [[Hospital of New Kourou|Hospital of New Kourou]] and adjacent to [[Pharmacy of New Kourou |Pharmacy of New Kourou]] on the other, forming a compact medical cluster in the ring’s eastern quadrant.
 Established in 2626 under the [[human_settlement_plan_hsp|Human Settlement Plan]], the Medical Station of New Kourou became the settlement’s principal general-care facility. Except for a single Chief Physician, all diagnostics, emergency response, and routine treatment are carried out by [[medical_bots|Medical Bots]] — a workflow settlers already accept without hesitation, having relied on automated care aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]].

 ===== Architectural Significance =====
-  * **Construction Material:** Recycled hull composites and bio-plastic panels salvaged from the spaceship [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]].
+  * **Construction Material:** Three cargo containers from the Last Frontier, welded side-by-side; patched with mismatched hull panels, scrap plating, and improvised support frames.
   * **Floors:** 2
-  * **Design Aesthetic:** Improvised starship salvage—corridor walls of mismatched bulkhead plates, exposed conduit runs, and repurposed shuttle seats; function-first, with only minimal paint strips and recycled skylight panels to soften the austere interior.
+  * **Design Aesthetic:** Salvage-clinic minimalism — exposed conduits, floor tape to guide patients, shuttle seats bolted into the metal flooring, and a few translucent skylight panels recycled from cabin viewports.
-  * **Ventilation:** Medical-grade air-circulation ensures sterile surgical and diagnostic environments.
+  * **Ventilation:** Retrofitted ship blowers running at low constant power, enough to keep air sterile in treatment pods but never fully eliminating metallic or coolant smells.
 ===== Building Structure =====
-**Ground Floor**
+**Ground Floor – Reception & Triage**
-  * **Reception & Triage Desk:** Managed by a [[butler_bots|Butler Bot]] that registers arrivals and performs preliminary scans.
+  * **Reception Window:** A [[butler_bots|Butler Bot]] registers patients and performs preliminary scans through a counter window cut into the hull.
-  * **Emergency Room:** Six-bed trauma bay with surgical stabilisation pods, auto-sterile field projectors, and crash-cart Medical Bots.
+  * **Triage Alcove:** Two beds for vital checks and nano-assist screening.
-  * **General Medicine Offices (3):** For routine consultations, vaccinations, and minor procedures.
+  * **Waiting Niche:** Four threadbare shuttle seats bolted to the deck.
-  * **Public W.C.:** Two unisex restroom stalls off the main corridor for waiting relatives or discharged patients, featuring the [[AuroraSan System|AuroraSan System]].
+  * **Trauma Pod (4 beds):** Each equipped with auto-sterile field projectors, basic surgical arms, and crash-carts operated by Medical Bots.
+  * **Stabilisation Rack:** Used for fracture resets, bleeding control, and emergency nano-flush preparation.
+  * **Supply Wall:** Racks of med-packs, nano-vials, and wound-closure spray.
-**Second Floor**
+**Upper Floor – Diagnostics & Nano Lab**
-  * **Preparation / Diagnostics Rooms (2):** Full-body bioscanner suites and nano-prep stations for pre-surgical work-ups.

-  * **Nanotechnology Lab:** Secure lab where medical nanites are calibrated, sterilised, and stored.
+  * **Nano-Calibration Bench:** Where a dedicated Medical Bot prepares sterile nanite cartridges.
-  * **Administrative Office:** Workspace of the Chief Physician and support staff.
+  * **Chief Physician’s Desk:** A narrow workspace wedged between supply lockers.
-  * **Break Room & Staff W.C (AuroraSan System).:** Rest area for night-shift personnel.

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-Inside the Medical Station, improvised practicality overshadowed polish. Salvaged bulkheads and mismatched floor panels from the Last Frontier formed narrow corridors; many still bore faded hazard stencils and serial plates in their original Star-Navy grey. Overhead, fluorescent strips scavenged from cargo bays flickered unevenly, while coolant lines and cable bundles ran exposed along the ceiling—patched with whatever gaffer tape or scrap plating the construction crew could find in 2626.
+Inside the Medical Station, everything felt improvised and overworked. Narrow corridors were simply the bare interiors of welded cargo containers, the metal walls still stamped with faded serial numbers from the Last Frontier. Patches of mismatched hull plating revealed where med-tech crews had repaired breaches with whatever scrap they could salvage.
-Every diagnostic console and autoclave looked visibly older than the building itself, their casings dented and paint-scratched from the crash. Yet indicator LEDs glowed a reassuring green: ship-grade machinery, repurposed but still precise. Some Medical Bots rolled on repainted chassis that once belonged to maintenance droids; their vocalizers occasionally crackled with clipped shipboard code words. The scent was a blend of antiseptic, recycled air, and the faint metallic tang of coolant—an unmistakable reminder that high-tech care here was powered by jury-rigged life-support parts rather than purpose-built hospital infrastructure.
+Overhead, salvaged cargo-bay fluorescents flickered with a tired hum; coolant lines and cable bundles ran exposed along the ceiling, wrapped in tape or not wrapped at all. The air carried a blend of antiseptic, recycled oxygen, and the metallic tang of ageing machinery.
-Patients waiting for triage sat on bolted-down shuttle seats, upholstery threadbare yet sturdy. Wall screens — salvaged cabin viewports refitted with improvised frames — looped public-health advisories atop static-flecked backgrounds, occasionally glitching to a long-gone navigation overlay. The result was a space that felt both cutting-edge and makeshift: a stopgap clinic keeping settlers alive until something better could be built — though “better” never quite arrived in the [[beta_age|Beta Age]].
+Medical Bots rolled through the cramped space on chassis repainted from old maintenance droids, their vocalizers occasionally stuttering with leftover shipboard codewords. Diagnostic consoles showed scratches, dents, and chipped paint — relics of the crash — but their indicator lights flickered in reliable green.
+Patients waiting for triage sat on threadbare shuttle seats, the fabric worn to the foam. A repurposed cabin viewport mounted over Reception displayed health advisories, often glitching into starship navigation overlays before snapping back. It was a clinic in the truest frontier sense: part starship wreckage, part emergency shelter, part lifeline — a place that kept settlers alive with technology far more advanced than its surroundings suggested.

   * **Operating Days:** 24 / 7 service.
+===== Available Treatments and Prices  =====
+Unlike the [[hospital_of_new_kourou|Hospital of New Kourou]], which includes full in-patient wards and surgical recovery units, the Medical Stations across the Free State are strictly outpatient facilities. Treatments are designed for stabilization, diagnostics, and short-term recovery. Even overnight emergency care is limited to temporary trauma bays, and patients are either discharged or transferred to the Hospital for extended observation or post-op care.
