Shield General

Rough Layout of Shield and adjacent Reproductive Clinic

Formally named Escutcheon General, but by now is known as Shield General, or Shield. The first hospital on Escutcheon. Located at Forecourt, in Firilith.

"Its ambulance volunteers called themselves the Shield Carriers. The jay they’d appropriated to reach areas without a Pad had a motto scrawled on its side: “Putting them on their shields AND coming back with them."

The hospital issues its own telegems, a gold and white cloisonné shaped like a caduceus.

Layout

Inner Courtyard/Cafe

Did you know it had a small fountain in it? You do now! Also: "The hospital had a canopy it could erect over the courtyard for poor weather, but as it was a projection, it wasn’t often used so as to reduce the load on Shield’s generator."

Reproductive Clinic

The adjacent clinic is considered part of the hospital.

Patient Rooms

The patient rooms have halo-arches, and the ceilings are filmed with a reproduction of the sky outside (as long as it's nice out).

Personnel

• Mellie Grant, a black Seersa who drives the ambulance
• Falden; I don't know who this person is but they can do surgery prep
• Aura, a Tam-illee surgical healer-assist
• Arjda, a Harat-Shariin receptionist at the reproductive clinic. Male, clouded pard, likes pastries.
