SABER ON ROUTE TO COLONY

Kate looked at Shaun as he fixed the approach vector to the colony. She was capable of piloting the ship but the girlfriend in her liked him flying. Partially it was the way she was raised but also it let her do the random stuff like play games and text on her personal communicator instead of making sure they did not crash. Many of her girlfriends complained that she should be more of a feminist and fly the ship while making Shaun take the co-pilot seat. Kate saw it that it was the epitome of feminism where the man did the work and she could sit back and just relax: sort of like a reverse 1950’s married couple. This trip however she was looking at him with an intense stare.

“Shaun, do all deliveries end up like that. You know without drugs and you jumping three ranks and becoming an ordained minister all in less than an hour?” Kate’s tone was playful but also had a hint of seriousness to it. “I mean how typical was that labor and delivery?” Kate had never doubted Shaun’s skill in the medical profession until the moment he uttered to Jessica Vaughn that they missed the window for drugs and that she could do it without them.

“It can, getting access to a ship like this is a perk though.” he said not knowing how to begin here.

“I’m serious,” Kate said looking at him. “Is that normal? The whole window for meds and is there a drug to actually make you go into labor for no reason?” Her tongue poked out of her mouth and moistened her bottom lip before she bit down on it. Shaun would be able to see Kate was intent on him providing an answer.

Ending the lively debate she focused all her attention to the console running scans of the main town they were approaching. “There are life signs but they are condensed into tight groups. I have a group of about ten in the church, forty-six in the hospital, nine in the main administration annex, and about fifty scattered throughout the town and the surround three miles of the city center. Power is at a minimum. There is a distress call from the main relay beacon but its range is limited. This place is getting my spidey senses tingling Peter,” Kate said relaying far more concern in that one sentence than the actual words conveyed. Bypassing several junctions, Kate had boosted the signal enough that a strange crackling was coming through breaking up every few words.

=/\= Colony....quarrantine....Avoid.... infection…go…the hospital. I repeat, =/\= the voice said over and over in a loop. Kate listened to it several times and then gave Shaun a look.

“So we go to the hospital,” she said as he began to prep to land the shuttle. “That is my best guess but you were the one who lived here.”

“Yes, but… this feels wrong.” Shaun said, this was all different. No one had come to see them, the message had seemed to be targeted to him. The beacon others could hear but there was little traffic that came past this sector. Only once a year unless they got tourists, and it wasn’t much of a tourist destination. “They were self sufficient in most things, there should be a fleet of ships here yet we come back and this is all?”

The others around the ship worked, Aedan had loaned his personal ship to this rescue, it gave them far more resources but a fleet was much better.
