course I’m happy!” Poppy said without hesitation.

Work came with its share of drama, but she knew how to handle it now. Sometimes, she even found it entertaining.

The job was demanding, but it gave her something to work toward.

Having all the food and water she needed was wonderful, but doing nothing all day left her restless/and- unfulfilled. She was busier and more tired now, yet she felt better about herself than ever.

“Nicole, I really like our life here.”

People still looked out for themselves, but they were also working toward something together. They believed their lives would get better, and they were helping make it happen.

Nicole smiled. Maybe she was ready for a change, too.

That evening, Zeph found her sorting through her belongings. “What did you think of the hospital?”

There wasn’t much to say. They needed more doctors and medicine, desperately. With Mitchell there, though, they finally had a chance to turn things around.

Learning that Mitchell was at Yorwick brought back memories of their time at the research institute. “What about Dr. Dixon?”

Nicole’s face fell. “He was getting older. He got sick after reaching the military base and never recovered.”

Wesley was one of the most respected experts in his field. The antiviral formula he developed during the smog disaster saved countless lives. His death was a terrible loss.

With his knowledge, they could have restored access to herbal treatments much sooner.

Zeph was glad Nicole decided to join the hospital.

They had no way of knowing whether the disasters were over, but they still needed to live their lives. Work gave them a purpose and a little stability.

“Good. We can go to work together now.”

Nicole sighed. After promising herself she would never work again, she somehow ended up with another job.

Unfortunately, sleeping in was a habit she wasn’t ready to break. Getting up early was miserable.

The next morning, Zeph practically hauled her out of bed while she sagged against him, still half asleep. He put toothpaste on her toothbrush and handed it over.

“Come on. You can’t be late on your first day.”

That got her moving, and she hurried to get ready.

They caught the ferry with barely a moment to spare. As soon as they sat down, Nicole rested her head on Zeph’s shoulder and fell asleep.

They reached Platform A early enough for him to walk her to the hospital.

“I’ll meet you here after work,” Zeph said before leaving.

The hospital had two directors. One handled administration, while the other oversaw patient care and research.

Nicole would work under Mitchell again. It almost felt like being back at the research institute in Grayport.

Mitchell stayed late the night before, reviewing the hospital’s operations and available supplies. By morning, he knew where he needed her.

His expertise was in herbal medicine, with limited experience in conventional treatments. Nicole, however spent time training under Howard. Complex operations were beyond what she could manage alone, but she could handle more straightforward surgical emergencies.

Construction was moving quickly across the base, and injured workers kept arriving at the hospital. Herbal remedies could only do so much for them.

They needed to make the best use of both approaches to save as many lives as possible.

Nicole checked the inventory the day before. Surgical equipment and emergency drugs were scarce, but with careful use, their supplies could last at least another six months.

They divided the work accordingly. Mitchell would oversee herbal treatments, and Nicole would run general

surgery.

Alongside treating patients, they would focus on developing treatments that combined their areas of expertise.
