StarChaser Medical Stretcher
A compact antigravity medical stretcher used to transport injured crew members into sickbay. Its padded surface conforms to the Doctor's broken body as Vishinsky, Sarah, De Haan, and Salamar lift him from the corridor debris. Yellow diagnostic indicators along the sides pulse weakly, mirroring the fading life signs the crew strain to preserve. The stretcher's reinforced frame absorbs the ship's constant vibrations while the antigrav emitters ensure smooth transit despite the deck's unstable artificial gravity.

Purpose
Medical transport and stabilization device designed to move critically injured personnel to medical facilities while minimizing further trauma.
Significance
Becomes the centerpiece of both medical hope and moral crisis as the stretcher carries the Doctor—a living artifact of alien intelligence—into battle against both physical death and the antimatter hybrid's encroaching threat. The stretcher represents the crew's fragile grip on civilization's values when survival instincts demand ruthless pragmatism.
