[ Honestly, Haibara would have vastly preferred to do this as text, but that wasn't really an option on these things, unfortunately. In either case, both voice and video can't hide her age, so she doesn't bother.

The video feeds turns on to show a girl of about seven, looking fairly somber and serious. Once she begins talking, it's at least obvious that she's very mature for her age. ]


Hello, passengers. My name is Ai Haibara, and I had something to discuss with everyone.

I've been talking about the state of pharmaceuticals aboard the train with some knowledgeable individuals. The bottom line is that the train is not prepared for a large number of medical emergencies, incidents, or patients. I realize that some people have healing "powers" or "magic" [ you can HEAR the air quotes around those words ] but there's no guarantee those individuals will always be available, or effective.

I've compiled a list, arranged in terms of importance, of drugs I'd like to get stocked in the medical carriage. I'd like to ask for two things; first, if you have a medical condition that requires a drug, respond so it can be added to the list and-or prioritized. Second, if you have spare points, please purchase some of these drugs from the store. We're due, I believe, to be stopping soon, so we can stock up before then.

This list is posted in the medical carriage itself, by the way, if you need it for future reference.

[ Haibara simply holds up a list here. It's written in neat handwriting because she doesn't have a computer and printer, let's work on that too,,, ]

ANTIBIOTICS: Amoxicillin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid, Ceftriaxone
PLASMA SUBSTITUTE: Dextran 70
ANTIDOTES/ANTI-POISONING: Activated Charcoal Powder (most important), Acetylcysteine, Atropine
ANTICOAGULANTS: Warfarin, Enoxaparin
IMMUNOMODULATORS: Cyclosporine
BETA-BLOCKER: Enalapril, Propranolol
ANTIULCERS/ANTACIDS: Ranitidine
DIABETES REGULATION: Insulin Injectors
ANTIHYPERTENSION: Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril
ANTICONVULSANTS: Carbamazepine, Diazepam
ANTIDEPRESSANTS: Fluoxetine, Amitriptyline
ANTI-ANXIETY: Diazepam
HORMONE CONTROL/BIRTH CONTROL: Ethinylestradiol/Levonorgestrel
DIURETICS: Furosemide
ANTI-INFECTANTS: Albendazole, Potassium Permanganate
MIOTICS/MULTI-PURPOSE: Acetazolamide
CHEMO THERAPY: Carboplatin, Fluorouracil
RESERVE ANTIBIOTICS: Ceftazidime/Avibactam


[ That list is left up for, uh, a while, before Haibara speaks, the page still being displayed. ] The antibiotics are probably most important to get a stock on. Dextran 70 will be important in order to save lives from blood loss, which knowing how missions are, will come up sooner rather than later. Activated charcoal powder can treat overdosing and certain poisons. Those are the top priority.

Not listed, but we could also use supplies for drawing, storing, and giving blood. We would need a cooler to store the blood first, though.

[ Now the page gets pulled down. ]

It's something to think about. Thanks for your time.

[A biochemist? I thought she was seven!

Seriously, though, to Glorfindel, healing salve IS modern medicine where he's from. But he's been reading and...in books, doctors scoff at Traditional Cures. So he nods and looks quite interested in what she has to say.]

I see. I have been reading some 'modern' books and they tend to treat plants like they are a joke, so I apologize for reacting as I have. I come from a world where my Lord Elrond has spent the better part of three centuries working on a Healing Salve that is quite effective on all races: Elven, Human, Dwarf, Hobbit, Eagle, and even Ent.

In fact, I am almost ready to harvest to make up a triple batch of it. This should be sufficient to give a little to everyone who goes on the missions. It isn't magic. But for minor injuries, scratches, and bruises, it will speed healing, so that a person will recover overnight. For major injuries it will stave off infection and speed recovery time, which will hopefully help conserve our resources.

I would be happy to supply you with a sample if you wish to use your science on it, once I am done. If anyone is interested in helping, they are also welcome. It does require cooking at a high heat and stirring for the better part of two days, per batch.
