They go to the main room to hear what Captain say what happened.
(Jill volunteers herself and Bryan for the rescue team). She lifts her hand. But then she lifts mine too.
We train to do the rescue. First we work with a harness.

Falling Action
Bryan and Jill return to the ship with the survivor.
Bryan asks his captain for permission to be a med tech. I look at the captain. “I have a request. I know this is a tech cadet ship. But I want to be a med cadet.’’
Bryan says goodbye to Jill. She tilts her head. “The tools will be glad. But not me.” She kisses me on the cheek. The other cadets cheer.
