Bonus activity: Women at work
One day I was walking along the deck of the ship when I hear a loud bang. I start to run as I see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. I run towards the room where my patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as I arrive at the door to their room I hear another loud bang and I tumble on the deck but I manage to get up and push open the door. My hands tremble but I mange to help the soldiers who have sustained injuries. Then it strikes again. This time it throws me across the room but I don't sustain any injuries though. I turn and see that medical equipment is strewn all over the place. I rush over to help nurses who are underneath equipment. I wait for the next bang but it never comes and that, is a relief.
