Targeted Nanoparticle Therapy and Repair
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Targeted Nanoparticle Therapy and Repair, or TNTR and med bots, was a form of UNSC nanotechnology used for medical treatment.[1]
History[edit]
During the Battle for Zeta Halo, the UNSC field hospital at Lifeworker Central,[1] outfitted using equipment salvaged from a working med bay on a downed Mulsanne-class light frigate,[2] was lucky enough to have a suite of TNTR at their disposal.
On June 6, 2560, Dr. Shoff injected combat medic Lucas Browning, who had suffered serious injuries from Banished torture, with a complete series of TNTR programmed to repair and facilitate healing to his internal injuries. When Browning had to leave with John-117 before he could finish recovering, Shoff gave him a stimulant to keep Browning alert and adjusted the TNTR for on-the-go repair, but he would require constant monitoring. Joyeuse agreed to link with the TNTR and monitor Browning's vitals.[1]
When Browning was stabbed by Jega 'Rdomnai,[3] several hundred med bots were destroyed, causing the remaining med bots to take up the slack and subsequently overload. After they rebooted, Joy reconfigured their primary directive to converge on the wound, debride the burnt tissue and stimulate clotting aided by biofoam applied by the Master Chief. The med bots mitigated immediate hemorrhages by sealing vascular breaches and Joy initiated a program to stabilize shock and cardiac function, but Browning's wounds were fatal and all that these measures could do was buy him thirty to forty minutes.[4] As Browning neared death, Joy directed every med bot to his heart and brain function to buy the Master Chief time to get him out of the Silent Auditorium to die in peace.[5] The treatment successfully bought the Master Chief just enough time to get Browning outside before he died.[6]
