Most of the morning was spent on the operation of one of the medikits that strapped around the waist. This was a poison analyzer that was pressed over a puncture wound. If any toxins were present, the antidote was automatically injected on the site. Simple in operation but incredibly complex in construction.

"Your flattery overwhelms me." The instructor continued, taking no notice of the interruption. "... Infants are put into as soon as they can crawl. It is real in substance, though completely deactivated."
