Chee!
Ah, Murgatroyd - here, have some coffee.
I am very much enjoying Leinster's Med Ship stories.
This thread inspired me listen to an audiobook adaptation of _Med Ship_
during this evening's dog walk. (<

shows how to create an audiobook in Calibre.)
_Med Ship_ finally hits the spot after a recent string of audiobook
flops, following on the heels of the fabulous _Citizen of the Galaxy_.
The first Leinster story reminds me of Perry Rhodan's Liquitiv arc: <
https://www-perrypedia-de.translate.goog/wiki/Liquitiv?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de>
right down to the triple asterisks ahead of the afterword. The Liquitiv
arc also adds Noir and Police Procedural elements.
Addendum:
Part of my past Lenten observance included a daily reading from the
rather dour Book of Ecclesiastes. Easter was then celebrated with a
turn towards Tobit and its theme of medical arts - a serendipitous
change of course in light of this very thread.
One more thing. Here's a handy cognitive excercise to strengthen
proficiency at discerning embedded narratives, be they in corporate
media, AI, or anything else:
[T]he stories with which we fill our imaginations shape
our souls as well as our actions in the world. ...
In my undergraduate and graduate courses in medieval
history and the history of Christianity, my methodology
is the same, if less explicit: to think ourselves inside
the frame(s) from within which our sources were written
so as to attempt to understand why their authors made
the arguments that they did in the way that they did
and thereby become aware of the limitations of our own
frames.
