- Chapter 517 - 06.0512: ‘Suspicious Imperial merchant ship’
“Please give way.” Sister Arabella picked up the seriously injured court official, her voice trembling.
She was looking for a place where she could have surgery.
However, the entire pilgrim ship was contaminated with flesh and blood everywhere, and even the infirmary was not spared. The blood of these Kroot people contained trace amounts of neurotoxins, and rash surgery would probably lead to the death of the court official.
“Sister Arabella!” Just when she was at a loss, Horatio’s reassuring voice came from behind.
“captain.”
“Take her to the Epic for surgery, quickly!”
After Sister Arabella’s entry, the Epic undocked the pilgrim ship.
The armored docking door slowly closed, announcing that the Kroot threat facing the pilgrim ship had been completely eliminated. The Epic will next work with two other attack ships to escort the “White Mayflower” pilgrim ship to friendly-controlled areas.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the area controlled by the Imperial Navy. As long as it can survive the two-day voyage, a vanguard light cruiser sent by Lieutenant General Samuel Hood will be able to reach the frontline theater to respond.
Inside the Epic, the tired crew members, wearing armor that had not yet been recovered, started cleaning the cabins carelessly, washing the deck with mops and torpedo maintenance fluid.
Dirty water flows along the drainage channels on both sides of the deck into a central treatment tank, where it is purified and then put into recycling.
The Epic is not big, but it is well-equipped. There are three medical cabins on the ship, one of which is near the officer’s lounge.
Although not far away was the large hole shot by the railgun in the previous battle, fortunately, the aftermath of the artillery fire did not affect this infirmary.
Without exception, every medical bay was filled with injured sailors and wounded. Horatio allowed sailors injured in the battle to receive treatment in the officer’s medical bay nearby.
Even the captain’s office was emptied, and all the tables were moved to make room for the injured battle sisters.
In the officer’s infirmary, seeing the head injury of the female court officer, the ship’s doctors discussed it for a while, but no one dared to step forward and take charge of the craniotomy. It would be absolutely infamous for the emperor’s daughter to die by his own hands.
Sister Arabella decided to take matters into her own hands;
“Sister Arabella, we have seized some Tau medical supplies that should be effective on humans.”
Horatio guided the servants and came over with a complete set of captured nano medical kits and precision medical instruments.
Sister Arabella studied it for a while, and combined it with the Gothic usage above, she quickly figured out the usage.
“Thank you, Captain.” She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a hopeful smile finally appeared on her worried face: “With these equipment, the probability of Diana’s survival will be greatly improved.”
“The Emperor bless those who devote themselves to preaching.” Horatio looked at the unconscious female court official, nodded and said to Arabella: “I will make arrangements for you. If you need anything, you can always follow me. I said, I’m on the navigation bridge at the top.”
“Thank you very much, the Emperor bless you.”
After the brief exchange necessary for human connection, Sister Arabella hurriedly plunged into the operation.
With the help of the ship’s medical assistants, she first shaved her hair and prepared her skin to stop the bleeding.
Then use the equipment and surgical tools in the nano medical box to perform craniotomy.
Many of the equipment inside may also have something to do with the “Short Man”, and are an extended version of the advanced medical equipment of the Human Empire.
Although it is not only rare in the empire but also involves the crime of “alien creation”, it is not impossible for professional medical nuns to use it.
Won’t use it.
Diana’s cranial cartilage was hit so hard that it fell off and squeezed her brain.
A craniotomy must be performed before the blood clot blocks the area, the fragments must be removed, and then sterile sutures must be performed.
As for the subsequent recovery, it can only depend on the fate of the court official.
Horatio took off the Hellspike power armor and replaced it with an Imperial Navy sleeveless vest and white shirt.
“Captain.” As he was changing his clothes, the planning officer Yin Shuyao walked in.
When she saw him changing clothes, she let out a small exclamation and turned around immediately.
“I’m sorry, Captain, I’m here to return your coat. Thank you very much for taking care of me!”
The girl stood up slightly and hung the neatly ironed coat on the coat rack.
“That was a good shot.”
“Thank you? Thank you for your compliment.”
Horatio buttoned up the gold-encrusted buttons of his shirt, walked up to her, and patted her shoulder: “If you want to better protect yourself or the people you value, you can always improve yourself.”
“I will! I will continue to study swordsmanship and marksmanship with you seriously in the future.” The girl said excitedly, not escaping at all because she was a civil official.
He picked up his captain’s coat from the coat rack, took off his straight white captain’s long-brimmed hat, and smiled at the female planner.
“In this case, I will dedicate an hour every day to teach you how to fight.”
Then, he nodded, bowed his head and left quickly.
The girl returned the favor to the captain more solemnly.
Horatio stood on the elevator and soon arrived at the bridge of the Epic.
Collingwood was not nearby, so Horatio looked at Harvey.
“Harvey, report the situation.”
“Everything is normal at the moment. Our ship is in the fuzzy boundary area of the enemy’s and ours’ airspace. There are many messy signals around it, coming from both the enemy’s and ours’ fleets.”
“Very good, continue to maintain radiation control. Sometimes a little chaos can help us stay hidden.”
“Captain!” David Betty, who worked in the navigation department, came over, and the first mate Archie walked behind him.
David Betty held the parchment scroll in his hand and said, “I found an imperial merchant ship with a strange route, which is worth paying attention to.”
“Strange?” Horatio took the parchment from his hand.
“Although the probability is not high, there are indeed imperial merchant ships that will take risks on the front line, but this one is a single ship cruise. Single ship cruise is fine, according to the registered information identified, this is a ship belonging to the Charter Fleet; at 15:27 Terra time, it turned its route and actively deviated from the established route to Tarentus (an agricultural world) Horatio looked at the trade route network of the Imperial Charter Fleet and the activity area of the civilian fleet on the parchment, thinking.
“Archie, are you sure?”
“Yes, Captain, I have just calculated the route on the route map, and the ship’s track is indeed suspicious.” Archie paused for a while and said, “It’s like a fishing hook. “
“Let the other attack ships maintain escort, and we will go check this merchant ship.”
Horatio narrowed his eyes dangerously: “If she really lured the ‘Pure White Mayflower’ to the ambush point, we will never let her go.”
