Actions that can be performed are as follows:

1. Rouse (Takes 10 seconds to perform):
   

   With the administration of appropriate technology in game, will rouse another character to consciousness, making them Moveable. As no injury treatment has occurred, if not treated by a Medic within 30 seconds, they will pass out again. If on their death count, this will continue from the count they were roused at.

2. Clean (Takes 30 seconds to perform):
   

   Wash an injury, which will prevent infection or disease from that injury. The wash must commence within 15 minutes of the injury that gave the infection or disease, e.g., whilst the character is still on Stage 1 of Deterioration. This skill also allows you to clean bandages for reuse, using in game resources.

3. Bandage (Takes 30 seconds to perform):
   

   Bandage a non lethal wound (such as on a limb) with appropriate physreps. This delays the effects of the first stage of Deterioration by 15 minutes, allowing you to use your limbs normally. However, you can still feel the effects of the wound and should roleplay accordingly (e.g. limping). Once a wound has been bandaged once, it cannot be bandaged again until it has been fully treated by a Medic.
