Object
Federation Dispensary Medical Kit (stolen/removed)
A compact Federation dispensary medical kit — a hard‑sided polymer crate with organized trays of sterile packets, labeled vials and ampules, prefilled syringes, adhesive dressings and compact diagnostic tools. The crate shows signs of handling: scuffs and a faint, partially rubbed Federation insignia, and carries the antiseptic tang of freshly stored supplies. In the scene Finn produces the kit in a makeshift cavern infirmary; Beverly Crane (Crusher) inspects the instruments while patients writhe nearby. The kit appears recently removed from a local dispensary (and in narrative context is presented as having been taken without authorization), making its possession politically charged.

Purpose
To store and transport clinical medical supplies and portable diagnostic instruments intended for immediate use in diagnosing and treating acute patients in a field or small dispensary setting.
Significance
The box functions as the plot catalyst: its contents can arrest the patients' lethal decline, forcing Beverly to choose between her medical duty and the political consequences of using Federation resources to aid an insurgency. Possession of the crate transforms an ethical dilemma into concrete stakes and exposes tensions between Starfleet neutrality and local survival.
