The lights flickered in the lab as glass shattered and spread across the floor. NE Daniels rushed toward where the crash had came from and was met with an atrocity he had never seen before. As he tried to tap his comm badge to alert security there was an anomaly on the ship it lunged at him. His screams echoed through the empty lab as he met his fate with this creature.

The unknown

Nurse Allan had been returning to her quarters, a long and arduous sickbay shift behind her. A soothing sonic shower eagerly beckoned, followed by an entire bar of dark chocolate and a glass, or several, of red wine.
Passing by the main lab complex, the young woman tried to convince herself that she had not just heard a loud scream. Strange sounds were nothing new on the Leviathan. And yet, something about this one had seized her attention. It hadn’t sounded like an anomaly. It had sounded human. It had sounded like pure terror.

=^= Medical override, Allan 041835 =^= she sought access to the first lab and, as the door slid slowly open, drew a hypospray and cautiously stepped inside.
“Hello? Is someone in here?” Her voice trembled more than she cared to notice. But was initially met with only empty, echoing silence.

T’Mara Michaels had been heading toward her quarters when she stopped abruptly. The discussion of anomalies had nagged at her in profound ways. Supernatural, indeed. There was no such thing as supernatural; only those things that were not well understood. Still, if her job was to investigate “anomalies” and there was, in fact one on board in Engineering, the most logical course of action was to learn as much as possible about them. She turned and headed to the main lab complex.

The door was open and T’Mara slowed when she saw the back of a woman who was holding a hypospray. A nurse perhaps. The room beyond her was … wrong in some almost way. There was a faint but pungent odor. Aware that she might startle the woman, T’Mara spoke softly.

“What has happened?”

Morella spun on her heel, hypospray extended like a gun.
“Oh, it’s you,” her relief was palpable. But brief. “I…I thought I heard someone screaming.”

Another cautious step towards the centre of the lab, the Nurse glancing over her shoulder for reassurance that Michaels would follow.
“Hello? Is someone hurt?”

  • Nurse Morella Allan

The flickering lights were a problem T’Mara thought and she made a mental note to have engineering look at them. As no one answered Morella’s call, she found herself sniffing at the air. There was a new and unpleasant smell here.

“Nurse. I am going to my office there to retrieve a more reliable light source,” T’Mara said. She turned and walked toward her office. She slipped on a wet spot on the floor. T’Mara stopped, knelt and felt the wet spot. Lifting her fingers to her nose. This wasn’t suppose to be here either and whatever it was on the floor was the source of the smell.

“Don’t leave me!” Morella chased down the CSO, regret immediate as she witnessed the slip and the mysterious substance on the floor. “Is that blood?”

  • Nurse Morella Allan

“You are a member of the medical staff onboard the ship, are you not?” T’Mara said. “Assuming that to be the case, it would appear to follow that the question of whether this is blood or not would fall under your purview. I can tell that it is not hydraulic fluid or one of the chemical reagents we use in the lab.”

She began to stand but stopped when she noticed the body on the floor on the opposite side of a lab table.

“Giving the matter further thought, I would suggest that a) it is blood, b) the individual who would be your patient is on the opposite side of this lab table … assuming that he she or it is still alive c) there is something else in this compartment that is exceptionally dangerous and d) the wisest course of action might be to leave this compartment as expeditiously as feasible.
