Not yet. I'm debating seeing if I can start with some hands on training for medical work. That's a part of the schooling, but anything that could get me working and helpingâespecially since I assume the city still needs as much help as it can get.
[Clarke doesn't know for certain, but having someone else who can take measurements and get things set up would be a boon. But then, she's used to limited medical personnel.]
I might see if PRESERVE has a program with that. I've been taking classes to finish my medical training, but it'll still be a while.
Of course. And if you need any helpâhonestly, it's too bad that we can't just cook up a lab for ourselves and work out of that. Training could go slower and I wouldn't be stressed about it.
[They could really use a proper lab right about now.]

[Clarke thinks about Gabriel's labs in the woods. While he undoubtedly stole away with a lot of technology to get there, he still was able to accomplish it.
Why can't they do something like that?]
... Do you think we can? It would involve having to work slowly, chipping away to get supplies, and the big stuff, wellâwe'd always be without. Butâmaybe we can find a way around that, too?
[Clarke moves a hand through her hair, frustrated.]
This is probably the type of thing that Damian was trying to sell us on working toward together. Poorly, of course, because he did it while pitching a political stance.
I understand. I get that. But anything that's come our way has, by and large, been instigated by us. I don't know. I have a hard time seeing fear being the core of why we do anything.
