Injury

During the course of your journey, your Crew will accrue **Injuries**. If a crew member accrues five injuries, they will die.
Crew member death is permanent and irreversible.

With the exceptions of Infested and Scarred, all other injuries can be healed with a Medical Kit.

## Orange

###  Broken Arm

A major bone in an arm has cracked into more than one piece, making use of that arm painful and difficult. This injury can be caused by crashing a lander or ship collision with an asteroid or another vessel.

###  Broken Leg

A major bone in a leg has cracked into more than one piece, making walking painful and difficult. This injury can be caused by crashing a lander or ship collision with an asteroid or another vessel.

###  Broken Ribs

A rib or more than one rib in the chest cavity has cracked or broken, making breathing, talking and torso movement painful and difficult. This injury can be caused by crashing a lander or ship collision with an asteroid or another vessel.

## Red

###  Burns

Injury to the skin or other tissue caused by thermal energy (hot or cold) or radiation. This injury can be caused by landing on a world with a temperature High or greater. It can also be caused during space combat, or travelling close to a star.

## Blue

###  Concussion

Bruising or tissue damage to the brain caused by head impact. It can be caused by a crewed vessel colliding with something. At the start of a journey, one random crew member will have this injury.

###  Cuts

Penetration of the skin as a wound, stab or laceration which can cause pain and difficulty of using body parts around the affected area. This injury can be caused by crashing a lander or ship collision with an asteroid or another vessel, or by being attacked by small non-space-faring aliens.

###  Whiplash

Tissue, nervous or bone damage to the neck caused by head impact or sudden jolting force. It can be caused by a crewed vessel colliding with something.

## Cyan

###  Cough

Bodily reaction to an infectious disease that attacks the throat or sinuses, also a method of contagious disease transmission.

###  Cramps

Painful involuntary contraction of muscles caused by disease, poor diet or stress.

###  Fever

Bodily reaction to an infectious disease to try and kill the infection by raising the person's body temperature uncomfortably.

###  Headache

Pain in the head and neck caused by disease, loud noises or stress.

###  Upset Stomach

Bodily reaction to ingesting something unhealthy or infected.

## Yellow

###  Suffocation

Insufficient oxygen content or pressure being supplied to the body, causing harm to vital organs, such as the heart or brain. This injury can be caused if the ship runs out of fuel, depriving resources to the Life Support system. Crew members may suddenly die if they are suffocating.

## Purple

###  Infested

Infection usually caused by Mizzurani worms. They are extremely unpleasant, uncomfortable, and self-accumulating. Infestation can be contracted by landing on or harvesting from (and then holding onto said supplies from) infested planets (Mission Forecast marked in green or pink). As soon as a crew member is infested, there is a risk the infestation will spread--it sprouts again into the next container slot--and/or may infest other crew members.

Infestation can be removed completely using an Infestation medicine, called Mizzurani Nostrum, which can be purchased from the Logos (or gifted by some other species of friendly), or by seeking or receiving an Infestation scan and subsequent decontamination cycle from specific Logos ships (i.e. Arbiters).

Note that Infestation can be contracted on non-Logos, non-Mizzurani seeds (campaigns), however. Particularly, not on planets that appear infested, but at points of interest where survivors have been contaminated and you don't have the appropriate means to get past them (think zombie movie, now who might get past that?), or the lander pilot must swim through a load of blackened muck to reach the other side. If you've been gifted some Nostrum, lucky you. Otherwise....

###  Metastasis

The appearance of cancerous tissues within the body. This injury may randomly occur in crew members at any time. Kirsten Barrasso will receive this injury during the flight to earth.

###  Poisoned

Swimming in old ruins or drinking poison is unfortunately a bad idea.

###  Scarred

Harmless fibrous tissue growth that appears over a wound or injury due to the healing process of the skin or other tissue. A crew member is not in any danger if they have scars, and unlike Infestation (which indirectly causes scarring) it does not propagate to other crew members. Crew members healed by the Logos infestation scan will become scarred. This injury in effect reduces the possible number of injuries a crew member can sustain by 1.
