Surgery

Some Health Cards, as well as Cybernetic installation, require Surgery.

Surgery is intended to be an intense roleplay scene with the outcome determined by a card draw. As you perform your roleplay, you add the Medicine and Equipment used to a deck, then shuffle and draw a card at the end.

The card will match one of these colours:

Green	Success
Yellow	Complication. The Health card is resolved, but the patient has a side-effect.
Red	Failure. The Health card is not resolved, and the patient has a side-effect.
Blue	Custom result; explained on the Medicine card.

Performing Surgery

Patient Side

Medscan Side

The Health Card will outline several symptoms and a Rating number. This Rating is the maximum number of cards that you can add to your deck during the procedure.

You create your deck by using Medicines. Each Medicine card will be green, yellow, or blue, and is added directly to the deck when used. You can only use Medicine cards that match at least one symptom, and cannot add any more for a particular symptom after the number after it has been reached.

• 
  Green Medicine grants a perfect success.
• 
  Yellow Medicine grants a success with a side effect.
• 
  Blue Medicine grants a success and has a special, usually positive and long lasting effect.

Some Equipment will add its own card to the deck to help with the surgery or resolve a specific symptom.

As you complete the surgery roleplay, if your Medicine has not met each symptom number, add a red card for each missed amount (this can bring the total number of cards in the deck to above the Rating number).

Then, draw a card to find out your result!

Red Cards

For every symptom rank you don’t meet, add a random Red card to your deck. For example, if the Health card states Infection 3 and you only use one Infection 1 medicine, you would add 2 Red cards to the deck.

• 
  A Red card that causes bleeding.

Standard Medicine

Medicine is represented by brightly coloured Lammies. These will be blue, green, or yellow. Ignore their colours unless you are using them to perform Surgery.

The Ardent provides a number of basic medicines for use on missions. These are freely available to anyone on the ship, in a comparable way to Mattock’s supply of basic ammunition for all combatants (even though OC you are expected to provide most of your own darts, IC it is provided by the ship).

Kenolab’s supplies are tracked and will dwindle. If too many medicines are withdrawn, Work Orders will be released to resupply the ship’s stock. As the Ardent continues deeper into the galaxy it will become increasingly important to use these resources carefully.

Individuals withdrawing large amounts of medicine may be subject to investigation for proper usage. Those acting for personal gain, against the interest of the ship, will face consequences.
