WC:Movie, Medics

[Happy]

Anyone else notice that the medics in the movie take a rediculous amount of time to repond to accendents. Even at the end, when Taggart radioed ahead for medics to meet him on the flight deck, he still had to go get them.
Lazzy bastards

Even in the future, some things never change . Then again, the local hospital's pretty lousy

 

[Kamikaze]

The budget for ships has drained the economy of the Confederation. They had to deal with space HMOs now

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Yeah, well, Dr. Khalsa isn't as young as he used to be...?

 

[Happy]

i found this to be odd, as in most other sci-fi's, the medics are everywhere!!!

 

[Meson]

Well, Wing Commander isn't like other sci fi. WC medics come when it pleases them.

 

[LeHah]

You watched the WC Movie and thats what you noticed when you walked away? Might want to cut back on the meds, man.

 

[Happy]

I noticed other things from the movie, but they had already been coverd my this board.
there is no use kicking a dead horse.
though at times it does sound fun.

Yes I noticed that

Yes I noticed that. Why the heck are they so dang slow??? Prolly on a coffee break or something. L-A-Z!

The Claw had just been through a pretty rough fight. The medics were probably busy elsewhere.

 

[Soma]

Nahhh, the medics probably didn't want to be around no Pilgrims (might get infected)

Or they could be dead too. The ship was badly beaten.

 

[Happy]

how could they be dead when they showed up in the last scene?
u know, the guys with big red crosses on their vests?

 

[Meson]

They obviously weren't all dead, but the one that were alive were few and isolated throughout the ship trying to do the work that a normal compliment of medics could barely handle. THen you have the calculate the damage to the ship too. If something was blocking the paths to the flight deck, they would be delayed as well.

 

[Happy]

Well, the medic's had 2 hours to work on everyone else on the claw. Taggart instructed the claw to make the jump to sol if he was not back in 2 hours. Since the claw was already in Sol, it could have been as many as 3 hours time difference.

 

[LeHah]

That's a safe assumption. But it's still an asumption.

Still, you're probably right and I'm too lazy to go in my room to get my WC Movie novel to confirm/shoot that down.

 

[Happy]

all i have to go on is an assumption.
but it sounds good.

The last scene in the movie is around 1515 hours... it's not stated in the novel, though
