## Emergency response vehicles

Shade Medical utilizes a wide array of different vehicles for rescue and transportation of patients, ranging from more regular aircraft or cars to more technologically advanced options. It is likely that these vehicles are also equipped with life support technology as well as equipment for quick and simpler treatments, like real life ambulances.

### Propeller aircraft

Shade Medical has a type of very large propeller aircraft at their disposal. With these vehicles, they may transport and provide people living in more isolated places, such as the Dustlands, with medical treatment as well as emergency provisions.

### Flying ambulance

Shade Medical utilizes a flying emergency response vehicle that may be likened to a flying version of an ambulance. It is shaped like an elongated, slim brick with rounded edges. Its side walls as well as the bottom floor of the vehicle can slide open for easy access to the inside of the transport, so that patients can be taken in or be brought out of the vehicle. Each of the transport's four corners is occupied by a large rotating blue-and-red emergency light covered by a clear cover of plastic or glass. Each of the four emergency lights are part of a larger flying drone that can be detached from the main vehicle and be dispatched to the scene of an accident in order to indicate for civilians to keep a distance from a patient that needs rescuing. The transparent cover of each of the emergency light drones is stamped with the text "SHADE MEDICAL" in black text. How the vehicle hovers and flies is unknown, though it is possible a sort of electromagnetic or gravitational propulsion system is in use.
