Phoenix Logs/UNSC Units/Corpsman Gruss


 * lst Squad, lst Platoon, B Company, 9th Shock Troops Battalion.


 * Major Vaughan's command squad, callsign Sunray 1-1, is the lead element of
 * Boomerang Company, the UNSC's most elite force of Orbital Drop Shock
 * Troopers [though that's what they all say].


 * UNSC Navy Medic.


 * Petty Officer Gruss is the Navy combat medic assigned to Major Vaughan's
 * command squad. A woman of [very] few words, the ODSTs make it their mission
 * to interpret "Doc's" opinion of their shenanigans by analyzing her body language,
 * sighs, rude gestures, and grunts of disapproval. This friendly harassment ends
 * when combat begins, for Doc holds the lives of the troopers in her able hands,
 * wielding biofoam and trauma packs across the squad's position with incredible
 * skill and delicacy. So perfect is her timing in dealing with injury that it borders
 * on the prescient, and squad members resign themselves to the inevitable if Doc
 * appears near them during battle.


 * In addition to her medical skill, Gruss has shown a remarkable talent for escape
 * and evasion by avoiding the Marines' many and varied attempts to induct her
 * into their ranks as an honorary Helljumper. This irks some members of the
 * battalion, but even ODSTs are not crazy enough to risk the ire of a medic [and
 * Major Vaughan] by pressing the issue. When deployed with the command
 * squad Doc patches up the team's injuries with her medkit.
