Scarlett
Scarlett, 26, had just graduated from medicine. His dream of becoming a doctor had finally come true. However, instead of joining a comfortable hospital in the city, she had chosen a different path.
The asteroid belt was a harsh and unforgiving place. A region of space where miners extracted valuable minerals from asteroids. Accidents were common, and serious injuries required immediate medical attention.
Scarlett had been hired as a doctor in the small mining town of Nova Terra. The station was dusty and the faces were tired. But she was determined to make a difference.
His first day in Nova Terra was a baptism of fire. A miner had an accident in a deep mine. Scarlett rushed to the site, her medical bag in hand. Dust floated in the air, and screams of pain echoed through the dark tunnel.
The miner, a sturdy man named Jax, had a broken leg. Scarlett stabilized the fracture, applied a cast and gave him painkillers. Jax looked at her gratefully.
“You’re new here, aren’t you?” he said. “I have never seen a doctor so young.”
Scarlett smiled. “I’m here to help. How do you feel ?"
Jax nodded. "Better. Thank you Doctor."
As the weeks passed, Scarlett grew accustomed to life in the asteroid belt. She tended to wounds, treated illnesses and listened to the miners' stories. They were tough on the outside, but they had hearts of gold.
One day, she met Elena, a minor who had lost her hand in an accident. Scarlett fitted him with an advanced prosthesis, allowing him to return to work. Elena hugged her, tears in her eyes.
“You are our guardian angel,” Elena said. "Thanks to be here."
Scarlett felt moved. She had found her place in this brutal world. She was more than a doctor. She was a link between the stars and broken souls.
And every night, she watched the asteroids sparkle in the sky, wondering what they were hiding. Perhaps the answer was there, in the depths of space, waiting to be discovered.
