ID: MED-NRS-0317
ROLE: Head Nurse — Gamma Sector Medical Wing
CLEARANCE: LEVEL 4 (Medical)
CURRENT STATUS: ACTIVE
Full Name: Sarah Jenkins, RN
Age: 41
Physical Description: 5'4", sturdy and efficient. Dark brown hair cut practically short. Hazel eyes that read a room in three seconds flat. She moves through the medical wing the way water moves through pipe — always toward where she is needed, no wasted motion. She has strong hands and a quiet voice, and she uses both with equal precision.
Head Nurse Jenkins is the operational backbone of the Gamma Sector Medical Wing. While Dr. Thorne provides the science and the strategy, Jenkins provides the continuity — she is the constant, daily, human presence that keeps the medical bay functioning at the standard the Specialists' physiology demands.
Certifications:
Jenkins manages all day-to-day medical operations for Unit Gemini and the broader Gamma Sector staff. She coordinates the shift nursing rotation, maintains the hybrid-specific medical supply chain (which requires sourcing materials that do not exist in any standard procurement catalog), and acts as the primary point of contact for Specialist health monitoring between Dr. Thorne's formal assessment sessions.
In practice, this means she sees the Specialists more often than almost anyone else in the facility. She is present at morning vitals, late-night check-ins after difficult deployments, and every medical intervention between. She was on shift the night Wulfsige returned from Operation Silent Ward. She has not filed a formal account of what those first hours looked like. She does not need to.
Hybrid Physiology Expertise: Jenkins co-developed the triage protocols for hybrid personnel field injuries, including the treatment of non-Euclidean trauma, post-feral-drift recovery, and entity-contact cellular damage. She and PFC Higgins co-authored the field first-response guide that is now standard kit for all Unit Gemini escort personnel.
Jenkins earned the Specialists' trust the same way she earns everyone's trust: by being exactly what she says she is, every single time. She does not perform warmth or manufacture reassurance. She simply does her job with complete competence, and she treats the Specialists as the people they are rather than the anomalies they represent to the research staff.
Specialist Luca, who is generally easy with new people, warmed to her within the first week. He has since developed the habit of appearing in the medical bay during quiet night shifts — not for treatment, but apparently for company. Jenkins provides it without comment. She keeps a second chair near the supply desk.
Specialist Wulfsige is harder. He tolerates medical contact as a professional obligation and masks discomfort so effectively that a lesser practitioner would never detect it. Jenkins detects it. She has developed a handling technique — a specific sequence of verbal cues and physical approach — that measurably reduces his cortisol during procedures. Dr. Thorne has asked her to document it formally. She has been meaning to get to that.
Wulfsige, immediately following a particularly complicated wound closure after the Sector 12 incursion: "You're good at this." It is the longest unsolicited compliment he has ever given any medical staff. Jenkins told him she knew, and handed him his shirt.
Personal Note: Jenkins keeps a small whiteboard in the supply alcove where she tracks the Specialists' latest medical milestones — injury recovery times, pain tolerance benchmarks, cellular stability readings. She updates it alongside Dr. Thorne's capability tally in Bio-Lab A. Neither of them planned this in parallel. Both of them noticed when they compared notes.
// NOTE: Jenkins is the only staff member outside of Unit Gemini's immediate circle who Specialist Wulfsige has been observed voluntarily initiating conversation with. The conversations are brief. He asks how she is doing. She tells him. He nods and leaves. Dr. Vance has noted this in the record. //
