as the First Responders as part of an Emergency Response Unit deployment. A
civil war had developed on Naskia Prime and its moon Endra. It had begone as a
small clan skirmish which was not unusual in that part of the border regions. What
had been made it explode out of control was the intervention of non-planetary forces
falling on the side of the Endra. With the Naskia Prime orbital sensors and defences
going offline and the Endrain forces making planet fall the whole system went
into vicious all out war. The fighting had been horrific, and the Albatross organisation
had been called into help dealing with the unimaginable amount of wounded and injured
throughout the system. They had moved two whole sectors of resources to help which
was almost unheard of in the organisations history. Ewan and his team had been
the closet medical asset and he had been sent ahead to start with the triage
and surgery. It had taken six months before he and his team had been released
and rotavated. Six months of nonstop surgeries, evacuating patients for surgery
catching sleep here and there while chipping away at the tidal wave of wounded
and broken people. It had taken its toll and the level of burn out among the
teams had been atrocious. For the ones who had been deployed it was an experience
that they would never forget and a benchmark that they would hold other
deployments next to.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"></span></p>
