What would you put in a "Nonhuman First Aid" crate?

I'm thinking about putting this together as a crate that Medical can order if people think it's a good idea.

Because CENTCOM is RACIST, this would be a general kit with the bare minimums for solving health problems specific to those races. It could come in one or two medkit-sized boxes, a medical satchel, or a medical duffel bag, depending on how many of each thing the kit has.

Current prospective kit is...
  • Epinephrine medipen(s) for preserving any expired bodies while you figure out what the hell you're doing
  • Bottle of Hot Sauce (Warm that lizard right up in the cheapest way possible)
  • Regenerative Mesh (for Lizards, Plasmamen, podpeople)
  • Sutures (for Plasmamen, Flyswatted Moths, Ethereals)
  • Plasma Internals tank (for Plasmamen)
  • Oculine (for moth eye damage)
  • Pentetic Acid (for moth poison from pest sprays, ethereal charge problems, weedkilled podpeople)
  • Toxin Cocktail: Slime Jelly with a small mix of Plasma, Toxin, and Amatoxin (for restoring the blood of slimepeople who get killed by antitoxin effects)
  • Human Ears, and a human tongue if Felinids have a specific Felinid Tongue organ, I can't remember (for turning Felinids into Humans)
  • A preformatted paper note, detailing when and how each of these need to be used.
Thoughts on if this is a good idea, anything that should be added or removed, how much of each of these things, pricing, etc.?

An IED

Edit: And actually a Miniature Fire Extinguisher

That would unironically be really funny

Body Bag and Mini Fire Extinguisher could be pretty entertaining options, and god knows you need them when plasmamen somehow get stripped...

Coffee / Space Cola in syringe form, for lizard temperature regulation.
Space Cola might be a bit out of theme since licensing is Expensive™, but I'm not sure what else you could really use (I don't think water works for temperature regulation.)

Apparently, several chems, actually - Modafinil from the "real" chems, plus Coffee, Chocolate (liquid), Cafe Latte, Soy Latte, Toxins Special (drink), and if you wanna get a little dangerous with things that warm you past safe temperatures, capsaicin/hot sauce.

So what I'm saying is, a bottle of hot sauce. Just feed the lizard hot sauce.

No, no, coffee is the one that heats you up; cola cools you down, at least when served from the cola vendors.
I think hot sauce is much funnier than coffee regardless though, so that should definitely be there instead

Lizards have high body temperature tolerance; the ones that cool you down are plasmamen and podpeople mainly. That can be done with all the sodas, tonic water, and several drinks made with ice. Also, straight ice cools without the "only if overheated" restriction.

Could all of this be done with leporazine? Yes. Is it funnier if Nanotrasen has a corporate partnership to provide Space Cola instead of real medicine? Also yes.

A first aid scanner.
No, not a health scanner.
The shitty first aid scanner that comes in the first aid kits and doesn't actually help with anything.

idk if this is too high effort but lizards have unique blood, same with ethereals

(moths should have unique blood)

How hard is Ethereal blood to get, normally? Asking for chef reasons.

Chef reasons aside, I do want to add some of each of those unless it's supposed to be actually Difficult To Get... though, if it IS supposed to be difficult, I can't think of anywhere better for it to be provided than here.

maybe it should just contain a pair of shoes so that they can walk it off

A spray bottle with space cleaner + water for cleaning the filthy trash-eating fucks before surgery.

Another thought before I go in further on this:

- One medkit, not a crate with multiple for different species, since it's "One kit with basic solutions for all nonhuman species"
- No extra capacity, so people don't order it to have a bigger box, but maybe have it start overstuffed, that is to say it has more items in it than it can hold so once you take stuff out you can't put it back in? Or should I lean into using pill bottles to avoid overstuffing it?

🤔

batteries and/or lightbulbs for ethereals (I think the energy bars from vending machines are supposed to give them charge too)

The entire kit is 100u human mutation toxin and a knife. The knife is for anything that doesn't take chems

Feels a little too scattered. I think I might put most of it in a box or medkit sorta thing.

No way, it comes in a crate! Putting it in a second box just makes you feel like you wasted your money on a smaller box.
If you could buy a crate with a standard medkit in it, OR a crate with the contents of a standard medkit in it in addition to an empty medkit, which would you buy? Thought so.

Yeah, but I could consolidate:

- beaker
- mesh
- suture
- epipen
- epipen
- hot sauce
- hot sauce

into a box, and still also have loose the body bags, blood packs, pill bottle, internals, ears, and instruction manual.

Add a budget version that costs half as much and is a pair of shoes for walking it off, a euthanasia medipen (30u Cyanide or some other slow killing toxin), a knife, body bag and space cleaner. It is the much funnier option.

Ill be that guy, nonhumans don't deserve specialist supplies of this category unless its outrightly demeaning, as all crewmembers are equally worthless to the company.

The bloodpack shipments already supply L+ as a matter of practicality.

liquid electricity is a pain to get, I would be down for hemolymph though.

Some of it is demeaning (body bags, hot sauce, cybernetic ears), but low-key, one of the primary purposes of this crate is "OOC teaching tool" - it is to help people unfamiliar with the alien races learn what they're weak to and special stuff like L/LE blood that is a deviation from mechanical human baseline.
