Federation Medical Dispensary

A compact, utilitarian dispensary pressed into a civilian precinct: low counters ringed with crates stamped by the Federation, sealed instrument trays, and rows of rationed vials. The air tastes of antiseptic and polymer wrap, threaded with dust from hurried transport. Narrow shelves sag under labeled boxes and portable diagnostic kits; a battered intake desk bears a delivery manifest dated that morning. Functioning as a small provisioning outpost for medical supplies and emergency care, the dispensary serves as narrative provenance for the stolen instruments—its mundane logistics colliding with political urgency and forcing medical authority into an ethical battlefield.
