 ===== Look and Feel =====
-The Hospital mirrors the Medical Station’s salvage aesthetic: mismatched deck-plates underfoot, flickering cargo-bay fluorescents overhead, and data-panels that still show faint shipboard schematics beneath new interface skins. Hallways hum with respirator pumps and low Bot chatter in clipped shipboard dialects.
+The hospital shares the salvage aesthetic of the Public Services Ring: mismatched deck-plates, flickering shuttle fluorescents, and interior walls showing faint starship schematics beneath patched-on medical icons.
-Despite the rough finish, patients witness cutting-edge care—robot arms gliding with inhuman precision and nano-drones stitching tissue faster than eyes can follow. The juxtaposition of futuristic medicine and scrap-metal decor underscores the settlers’ resourceful survival.
+Bots chatter in clipped shipboard dialects, respirator pumps hum through exposed ducts, and surgical arms glide with unnerving calm.  Patients are met by the contrast of frontier grime at the entrance and cutting-edge nano-surgery inside — a duality defining life in early New Kourou.

   * During an epidemic surge, beds overflow — players must triage who gets the last nano-dose.
   * A Medical Bot’s core is hacked, threatening lethal “mis-surgeries.” Can the party trace the saboteur?
-  * A VIP patient’s vitals show a stealth toxin undetectable by standard scans—play detective under surgical pressure.
