Velah had limited resources to say the least without a ship Sick Bay to back her up, a few replicators to get supplied on a limited basis, the 'synthetic' meds are very effective but she would need more. Getting some Biological Base would help with some of the Hybred medicines; those adapted from old world Herbology to basis to a new formula with better properties.
A fancy way of mixing ingredients without the old fashion Chemical bowel and beakers. Though she will need a tent or another more solid structure for a "Medical Lab' with this being an alien environment she may well have to someday play with the Medical theories and some Witchy Doctor style remedies.
With a larger of the Landing Craft as the Sterile environment for surgery she could get the worst cases taken care of on a small scale. The temporary structure ; a really fancy Tent will do for the main SIck Bay and with the present need low it is difficult to get the Command Structure to build a second Hospital on a 'what if' type of reasoning.
Her Orion Temper had nearly flaired a couple of times, managing to keep it under wraps, the other nature had her taking multiple bathing to scrub herself clean, the Excretion of that damned Pheromone that causes women migraines and draws unwanted attention from the Male Population. Not easy to be a doctor while beating off men with a perverbal stick should she lose concentration in a long work day and let that slip.
Still, the amount of work she had took up a good portion of her time, one of the Male Nurses did not take a hint; using the old line of 'We could be here for the rest of our lives, For the good of keeping the population up' in order to get a night with her.
Please Spare me that one. Velah had thought while fighting the gag urge.
Still; she looked at her teenage daughter and had reluctantly 'Borrowed a Biobed' to run a check; she knew it in her body but the Mind needed confirmation, he still had what it took to carry another baby. Just should the need truly arise?
Velah admitted to a certain Marine that had caught her eye and he was an older more mature Marine that held confidence in himself and no need to further prove his Alpha type of rating. Closer to her age with a couple of years in the lead she found him to be fine company and a couple of moonlight swims and even a selective bathing had not dulled her opinion.
But she kept her medicine up and not about to get pregnant with a man that on a ship would not be her usual taste. SHe kept to off ship rmances to not have the 'relationship card stop her from doing her job. The flings had been fewer and more Far between since the Divorce from her former. SHe managed to keep a healthy life despite no one regular.
She did miss the good times of being married; even the make up in the early days berfore her Marriage went sour. Velah loved the results of that bad marriage; her daughter, but also as that child grew Velah knew she would be truly 'alone' after that.
Still, while on this planet she had her daughter and if it is long term stranded the need for male companionship is a choice still.
BUt her wondering mond could go elsewhere as she had supplied to replicate and build up medical stock should the need arise."
