the Cheron as it departed and jumped to warp. He slipped a small ear bud and
stuck it into his ear and activated its play list function. He took a deep
breath as the sound of a guitar began to play in his ear. This was the beginning
of his prelanding ritual that he had done for every medical evacuation that he
had performed and in his old job he had done more then he could count. This was
a bit different the medical team was sometimes bigger or could just be him as
part of an assessment team but most of the time it was shuttle work with
transport beacons as part of the equipment that they would bring. He focused on
the female voice and then heavy drum beat sing about zombies. He was not sure where
in earths history it had come from, but it was about peoples continuing violence
to each other. His medivac buddy had played it to him, and it had resonated
with him. He had played it on every drop as way to focus his mind on the task
ahead as well as what he was there for. Treating people who were injured to the
best of his ability.</span></p>
