    Great, Seth will get needed training.
    With what Capt. Hrrn’tn is saying,
    I would think hip boots are needed. Ha.
    Capt. Caorda and crew did a good job though.

    I don’t blame you Seth, after what you and Diana went through,
    no one would blame you if you never did it again. However, as
    Teresa said, there are way to hide it and still help, as Teresa
    said.

    Wait what’s that smell! EEEWW….. Capt. Hrrn’tn I said spin! NOT
    flush! heheh… He is using it as I had thought, as a strong teaching
    experience. Praising a student is good, but not too much praise.
    You don’t want newbies thinking they got it covered and discover
    they don’t at the worst possible moment! Always analyze your
    mistakes, and rethink about what worked and what didn’t. Careful
    Cassie, that’s a VERY bad habit you need to break. Always think
    there’s something out there, there could be at any moment!
    After all, they are on at least “Yellow Alert” which was, if I remember
    right, meant “Shields up, all scans active, all crew at stations” 0_0
    not join in on a conversation and ignore your board.

    It occurs to me that a healer’s ability would be useful even without
    them actively healing. A.healer should be able to diagnose illness
    even if they do not heal the problem. Think about how useful
    someone like Seth or Theresa could be doing triage. They could
    definitively tell who could wait and who needed help STAT! In
    an everyday clinic they could diagnose illness quickly and definitively
    without x-rays and expensive, time consuming lab tests. Imagine
    Seth working in a clinic in a poor part of Jericho. No one except
    a very few staff would even need to know of Seth’ ability as a
    healer. In the course of a seemingly normal intake exam
    Seth could develop a very good sense of the person’s prob-
    lem. That in itself would be invaluable!

      He could act as the doc for the Legion as well, not as a
      field medic, but as a base doctor. Like just lightly fixing a
      crippling injury to an annoying one. But I agree, and
      there would be ways he could help someone like Teresa
      did in: http://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-052/ No one
      picked up on the fact it was the “handshake” that she
      gave Sheriff Lamm that cured his cancer, or what she
      did for the Legion troops after the attack in tgw-335, or
      the now Imperial Knight Ronny, and so on. There are
      ways of helping someone without showing it, but only
      in extreme situations. Being a traveling doctor in the
      areas you’re talking about are much safer for many
      reasons, and would explain the need for security. Plus
      having complete privacy in a room with someone would
      make it easier if he did have to do a bit of healing.

        Seth doesn’t have the training to be a real Doctor. Perhaps one day he
        could go to med school. I think a healer’s talent should only be used
        in extreme situations to preserve life. Since a healer can never heal every
        patient, he/she should only heal those who otherwise have no chance
        and even then should only heal to the extent necessary to make sure
        the injured/sick person can make it to a hospital. It would be like how
        a field medic stabilizes a patient for transport. But a healer’s gift ought
        never to be used for frivolous things. It seems to me that the core of
        a healer’s gift is to manipulate living tissue. Imagine a healer practic-
        ing as a psychic surgeon. I think a healer’s gift could be used to
        sculpt living tissue like a reconstructive/cosmetic surgeon. But
        I think that would be a misuse/abuse of a precious gift. I can see
        Seth reacting to what was done to him by becoming a highly
        paid psychic surgeon doing mainly cosmetic procedures. It
        would make an interesting story of cynicism and ultimately
        redemption. Unfortunately I am not enough of a storyteller
        to be able to pull it off.

    >the shuttle left without us

    Was that an un-truth? Should not be saying
    something that could be contrary to any logs :{

    Perhaps there was a shuttle that left on a normal schedule?
    Whether they ever intended to be on it at all is something
    that might be … adjustable.

      The idea of the Simulation was to “leave” the ship and observe how
      they dealt with the events the computer came up with while they hid
      in his office. Capt. Hrrn’tn didn’t know it was real until LT T’chagen
      told him when he ordered the computer to end the sim.

        I thought it was the computer that told him.
        The LT was as in the dark as the captain was.

          Yeah, I should have picked a different color for the word balloons.
          Balloons with rounded corners are people there talking, ones with
          square corners are electronic – either commo or computer. In this
          case, it’s the ship’s computer. It’s not AI, it’s “dumb”, so to speak.
          I think from now on, all computer voices will be pink.”

          PC said this. I misread it. My bad.

    I’m really surprised that no one has mentioned Flea’s loss of face.
    Facelift?

      I was wondering if that was a foreshadow of a future story. I, for one
      would like to see it.

      I figure that was setting up a flashback, but not too distant of one.
      With the line of work they have, an injury like that is expected,
      but unwanted.
