Two of the soldiers, Harris and Griff, seemed to share a look and their shoulders shook in silent chuckling before they both peeled out of the room to scope the place out.  Ash was right that the four were tired, but it wasn't a physical exhaustion that plagued them.  They had long since lost any knowable reason to keep going and were probably just operating on drilled discipline, the deep routed knowledge that the mission had to go on.<br/><br/>That left Sgt Fallon and the medic, Stiner, with Ashley and Toby.  Stiner sat his own pack on a clear bit of space on one of the work benches, while Stiner approached to watch the woman work.  "I need to brief you on the injection you received last night.  And we have one for you as well, ma'am."<br/><br/>Stiner produced the armoured case holding the injections of Panacea, and in the light of day it was obvious the case had very few doses left, and seemed to have started with thirty judging by both the empty spaces in the padded interior.
