For all the resources at his disposal at BLU Regional Headquarters, the Medic can't get one very small thing: a place to read undisturbed. Milliways strikes him as preferable to the base.

The Medic glances up from a section on things to do with pancreases (it's probably best not to get more specific than that) and lifts an eyebrow. "Is there a problem, mein Herr?"

"It's a medical... pop-up book."

What.

The.

Fuck.

His left eye is twitching. Just a bit.

"That's a cool book," said another man from behind a pile of his own books, papers, and artifacts.
