Imu looked to his corporal, nodding towards the bird. As Rim collected the animal, drawing a specimen bag to drop it within, Imu glanced to the Xupra, a blink on an icon of his helmet's HUD triggering the UDW translation software. It would start building a Xupra packet as they talked, using smart software to help identify any lapses into their native tongue by context. Speaking slowly, he reached to his belt, pulling off what looked like a rebreather mask. He tapped a recessed button, then twisted the tamper lock to lock it in the setting of bronchial symptoms.

"Take this. Put it to your face. Breath." He mimed the action against his helmet. "I don't have the power to make that call. Though, we come with newer medicine. That contains some."

Rim, his task completed, turned to address the Volarians, after activating the translator, updated with Director Issane's new packet. Though in a somewhat mechanical tone, his armor's speakers translated his speech. "Attacks the lungs, and at a glance, I'd say crosses species fast. This isn't good."

Pausing, as Imu worked with Bo, he glanced to Kamil. "Where's the bodies of the deceased? Once Imu finishes with Bo, he'll start working with the cadavers to try and establish stages based on cell degradation. Once we have that, we can get a timeline going, prioritize treatment based on that."

Around the area, UDW medical personnel were distributing the rebreather masks, replacing nanite cartridges after each huff. Within ten minutes, the first semi-doc was hooked together. Attempting to turn it on, however, a man cursed. "Get one of the skimmers closer to the hospital and get the power supply rigged."

As bronchial nanites went to work helping clear mucus, break down fluids in the lungs, and relieve swelling, first stage gene testing on a portable data-pad was undertaking, helping to ID what biological anti-biotics were safe for the Xupra to use.
