IC - 4 - Medical Emergency - Kiara, Sam & Jojo

By the waning years of the 22nd century, humanity has expanded beyond Earth, establishing colonies on Mars, Ceres, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn; the latter of these being largely penal or mining colonies, taking advantage of the isolation and mineral wealth of these moons. One such colony, known as Benedict’s Rest, was established on the shores of the north polar sea of Ligeia Mare on the moon Titan, in the year 2169. Originally a penal colony that used convict labor to harvest liquid methane, Benedict’s Rest was bought out by a German energy conglomerate, Richter Dynamics, and expanded; now, in 2189, contract, or “free” miners outnumber convicts 5 to 1—158 free miners to 31 convicts.

The colony’s productivity, formerly the highest of any Richter colony site, has dropped 19% in the last month with no reasonable explanation provided. In the same period, the colony medic, Dr. Henry Holzer, has died; the administration has been vague regarding cause, though it has been intimated that he committed suicide. Over the objections of colony administrator James Kingsley, Richter Dynamics has sent a team of corporate troubleshooters to investigate these two issues and make recommendations to revive productivity.

Jojo looks up from his work going through the 300+ medical files as Kiara rushes in.

"He needs whiskey?" He echoes Kiara. "Of course we can use some sedatives. Perhaps he is having nightmares such as the Doctor reported and we can just offer to give him something to quiet his thoughts."

Jojo,You're about a dozen records in, so far it is just reports of minor injuries except for one more significant injury where a convict broke his leg during some construction work. Regarding use of sedatives, a successful Medicine roll would allow you to estimate the dose of oral sedative you would need to add to whiskey to incapacitate someone. You'd need to tell me how much whiskey you expect him to drink e.g. one shot or the whole bottle before it takes effect. Alternatively you could just offer a sedative without concealing it. No need for a roll, just say what you want the dose to achieve, e.g.relax, sleep, knock out

“Uh-huh, well quick as you can please Doctor; he’s armed and there’s no telling what he’s going to do,” Kiara urges, fidgeting as she waits for Jojo to come up with the goods.

Jojo will get the sedative and add enough into the whiskey bottle so that four shots would put him to sleep. He will then put enough pills in a medicine cup to knock out Sergeant Montrose.

"Okay, lead me to him. I'm going to offer him the pills to help him relax. If that doesn't work, you give him the whiskey."

“Thanks,” says Kiara, receiving the sedatives. “Um, I wouldn’t offer him pills though, that’d put make him even more suspicious and erratic.”

Her piece said, she hurries back to the others, clutching the container tightly.
