Chapter 5 The Medic Arrives
Triton looked towards the rising sun. It was dawn and a beautiful day but yet the day was stained with blood. That evening's battle was a bloody one. 6 Space marines were killed out of the 100. 200 guardsmen were killed in the trenches and another 640 wounded.
Suddenly he could feel the prickling heat of the jet wash of a landing vehicle. It was an apothecary ship. Two space marine apothecaries walked down the ramp. They were here for the blessed gene seed inside the fallen battle brothers.
Following the marine medics was a young woman. She was about 5'6, 120lbs and beautiful. She was a guard medic seeking training/advice from the specialized marines. Triton had never seen such beauty in all his 300 years of service and roaming the universe.
She had a grace to her that caught the attention of all guardsmen present. She approached Triton, and with a crisp salute requested access to the nearest hospital tent. He escorted her there and she immediately grabbed some tools and started patching wounds.
Some of the guardsmen were motivated by her willingness to work and some were healed just by looking at her.
Triton approached her and asked her, her name.
"Sabbatine Koth Chief Medic, Sir" replied the medic
Within 3 hours she had saved the lives of 50 men.
