| |
| * **Construction Material:** Salvaged bulkheads and shelving from the Last Frontier infirmary; the dispensing counter is the original starship pharmacy desk. | * **Construction Material:** Single repurposed cargo container from the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], reinforced and cut open on one long side to form a dispensing window. |
| * **Floors:** 1 | * **Floors:** 1 |
| * **Design Aesthetic:** Spartan and utilitarian — exposed alloy ribs, wall racks of recycled med-crates, and a single tinted viewport used as a customer display screen. | * **Design Aesthetic:** Pure salvage minimalism – a lone container with exposed alloy ribs, external shelves bolted to the inner wall, and a single tinted viewport above the counter used as a display screen. There is no interior customer area; all transactions happen through the counter window opening onto the Public Services Ring. |

| ===== Building Structure ===== | ===== Building Structure ===== |
| |
| * **Single-Storey Layout** | * **Street-Facing Counter Window:** The only public interface. A wide rectangular cut-out in the container wall, fitted with a sliding metal shutter. The Butler Bot validates prescriptions, takes [[kourou|Kourou]] payments, and dispenses medication directly through this window. Two bolted-down shuttle seats stand in front of the container as a makeshift waiting niche. |
| * **Dispensing Counter & Waiting Niche:** Front-of-house zone where the Butler Bot verifies prescriptions, takes [[kourou|Kourou]] payments, and issues meds. Two bolted shuttle seats serve as the waiting niche. | * **Rear Stock Compartment (inside the container):** Climate-controlled racks and drawer towers for nano-vials, blister strips, and infusion packs. A short internal conveyor or simple rail system allows the Butler Bot to quickly move medication from storage to the counter window. Access to the rear is through a narrow service door on the opposite side of the container, used only by maintenance personnel and Guarding Bots. |
| * **Stock Warehouse (rear):** Climate-controlled room with coded drawer towers for nano-vials, blister strips, and infusion packs. A short conveyor links shelves to the front counter for rapid fulfilment. | |

| ===== Look and Feel ===== | ===== Look and Feel ===== |
| |
| Entering the Pharmacy feels like stepping into a section of the Last Frontier frozen in time: dull-grey panels, green emergency strip-lights, and the faint odour of disinfectant mixed with polymer. A single Butler Bot glides behind the ancient counter, servo-arms flicking open metal drawers with practiced precision. | All interaction happened at the counter window cut into the side of a single cargo container. Standing outside, patients faced a dimly lit interior that looked like a small fragment of the Last Frontier preserved behind metal shutters: dull-grey paneling, green emergency strip-lights running along the ceiling, and the faint sterile scent of polymer, antiseptic, and recycled air drifting outward. |
| | |
| | Behind the counter, the Butler Bot moved with quiet precision, its servo-arms sliding open coded drawers and retrieving blister packs or nano-vials from orderly metal racks. The interior shelves were tightly packed with colour-banded canisters from[[schreder_pharma_inc| Schreder Pharma Inc.]], each illuminated by the soft glow of emergency lighting. A small viewport screen inside the container cycled dosage diagrams and safety symbols, its image occasionally flickering with ship-era static. |
| |
| Shelves carry colour-coded canisters bearing Schreder Pharma’s minimalist logo, while a wall screen loops dosage tutorials and price charts. The ambience is efficient, almost impersonal — healthcare distilled to a quiet transaction. | The atmosphere was efficient, transactional, and impersonal — healthcare reduced to a brief exchange between a patient standing in the ring’s dust and a machine operating inside a salvaged med-container. Despite the improvised construction, the Pharmacy projected a sense of reliability: ship-grade machinery still doing exactly what it was designed to do. |
