    Bathed in the cold glow of advanced LED panels, the room is a sanctuary where the best technology
    Starhaven has to offer resides. Gleaming metallic surfaces house a symphony of cabinets. A couple
    robotic arms and several diagnostic devices silently wait to someday attend to the diverse medical needs
    of interstellar travelers. A hum of unseen machinery permeates the air as the room stands ready for
    emergencies, its pragmatic design juxtaposed against the looming uncertainty of deep space. Here, a
    priest and former combat medic will be expected to protect his crew while on the frontier of medical
    science meets the cosmic unknown.


    As they travelled Adamn had been paying close attention to working the consoles on the bridge as well
    and interfacing with all the devices and equipment in the medbay. Between that and learning to use the
    new equipment they had picked up as loot, the priest was learning the basics of programming.
    His accuracy was getting better at the range and in simulations and all the running around and practice
    honed his dexterity.


    Stronger, fitter, and learning new skills…Adamn feels like he is in a good spot. It had been too long since
    he’d been on an adventure.


    And there was something else. Something he couldn’t quite put his mental finger on. Something natural,
    but different. Something that was…well, it’s probably nothing.
