Oh, guy with too many organs? Yeah, he confused Redwing's scanners big time...
[ A sympathetic glance. He wishes there didn't have to be a sting in washing out the wound on her head, but it can't quite be helped, and Sam is disciplined enough as a combat emt not to let it deter him. ]
Coulda kept going? Nah. What's the point in that when someone's hurt and needs help.
[ It's a statement that easily could sound sarcastic or belittling, but Sam's entirely genuine here. He just wants to help - and that means stopping for someone rather than fighting, unless stopping for that person objectively puts them in more danger.
"The Things We Do So That Others May Live" indeed, only Sam's doing them not because he was pararescue, but maybe he became pararescue because that was always the way his heart bled. What's the point of combat if you're not actually helping anyone? ]
