 ===== 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.
