Most people call me medic, some call me doc, but whatever you call me, I am well known across the battlefield as the "Life Saver". My job seems to be never done, but its exciting, even with no fighting, someone, somewhere, is hurt and needs me. I will come running and jumping my way across the endless terrain to help you.

For the most part, I enjoy doing my part. Everyone needs me, but I get little in return. Most of my days are spent at the South Outpost on Divide. For most of you, its a ugly place full of Bane. The fighting is usually intense, and the Stalkers are always around. But at the end of the day, the soldiers I save, walk out with medals and promotions, while I run along, trying to find that endless voice calling out for me in the background. You know whats its like to be out there, day after day, healing, reviving, and repairing the soldiers, so we can keep our foot hold on that world. Where is my reward? My promotion? Why isn't high command putting medals around my neck and congratulating me on a fine job. It's never easy being a combat medic, if it were, there wouldn't be any soldiers.
