Object
Sickbay Emergency Bandage
A length of coarse white gauze, roughly unrolled from an emergency kit and hand‑tied with hurried, uneven knots. Frayed edges and faint blood streaks mark recent use. Clinicians wind it tightly around a forearm to secure a makeshift wooden splint; Pulaski grabs and directs the wrapping, the patient flinching as the bandage cinches immobility into place.

Purpose
To bind dressings and secure a splint, immobilizing a broken arm during low‑tech triage.
Significance
Functions as a tactile emblem of the shift from failing automation to human care: Pulaski’s insistence on this crude bandage underscores resource scarcity, pragmatic command, and the immediacy of physical harm that technology can no longer hide.
