So I was just playing with update 0.60., (awesome by the way) and just had cannibals attack me. I was saved by a passing group of Mercenaries from the dead cat faction.
Faction patrols running up and asking for first aid, first aid kits(notice the difference), and even to use any open beds. That is the feature I want to see added. I checked the forums and couldn't fin it listed anywhere, even with search, so if someone has posted it, or this is already a work in progress, disregard this topic and delete it.

This is a link to the picture I saved when it happened. You can see the shock before fear sets in on the guy's face as his comrade is dying in his arms, his brother bleeding to death behind him while trying to keep up, and Ryukenken(one of my newer sentries) just watching as they pass by...
p.s. hope I wasnt too lengthy, didnt even know NPCs would pick each other up
