Triage Area

Triage is the main receiving area for the Medical Department. You may enter it through the double doors that open onto the ramp coming up from the well-deck. You may also reach it by elevator directly from the flight deck.

Either way, patients are stabilized, treated and moved either to the hospital area or to one of the Operating Rooms.

Notice the yellow Battle Lanterns overhead. Battery-powered, these will automatically come on and provide light for many hours, should your main power supply fail.
