Cass smiled. “Oh, you couldn’t miss him if you tried, trust me. Over two meters tall, skinny, four sets of eyes on a hairy brown face, wearing…” She chuckled slightly. “A Hawaiian shirt.”

The security officer’s reply didn’t fully answer Avik’s question, but she didn’t press for details. The universe had numerous unique species that many weren’t registered into the database. When the CO spoke up, the XO fell silent once more. Her attention turned mentally inward while she continued to stand at attention.

“He was from somewhere out here, right?” the Captain asked, deciding to lead the conversation slightly instead of play the whole thing totally casual.

– Johann Dvorak, CO

OOC: Somehow during the thread, we all started calling him Archie rather than Archnie, but… hey it still fits the convo, lol.
IC:
Cassidy wasn’t dense, nor did she miss the fact that she suddenly had attention on her. But at the same time, the whole thing in the bar had felt… weird. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but what little she had learned from Archie made her worried for him. Resting her hands on the top edge of the console, Abrams mirrored their casualness. “He didn’t really say where he was from exactly. Just that his wife and family were killed behind closed doors on their military base and Admiral McGinnis had allowed him to stay on the Starbase while he awaited a decision from the Diplomatic Corps on being granted asylum. Apparently he had fled an attack on his people, and his people where dispersed after their defences were overrun.”

“But you know what was weird? While we were with him, he suddenly got terrified. He said his species had a sense that could pick up when predators were nearby and while he had been fine when he first arrived, the last few days that sense had been triggered often. He said he felt like he was always being watched.” Cass frowned slightly. “I’m not prone to overreaction, and even he admitted that he might be just reactive from what was certainly a traumatizing event, but me and my krav maga immediately looked for the nearest object that could be used as a weapon. I believed him and that put me on the defensive. I know he should be safe on the base, but… I’m kind of worried for him.”

Avik glanced at Dvorak briefly, but didn’t say a word. It would be clear she held doubt in the safety of their officer’s new friend back on the base. From what information they had collected, there some things unsettlingly wrong there.

Johann frowned at this. He wished he had known about it before they left the base, but his orders would have been unlikely to change anyway.

No, he thought. That has to be their problem, and they have professionals who are capable of handling it. We need to find out wherever it is that these… ‘predators’… are coming from.

“That’s odd that you felt it too, actually,” Johann observed. “Have you noticed anything like that happening again since your conversation?”

– Johann Dvorak, CO

Abrams shook her head. “No, can’t say I have. I don’t know if it was just something there, or Archie, or just me feeling empathetic and protective of him,” she said with a shrug.It was just an instinct on her part that made her want to make sure they weren’t standing around with a potential ambush about to happen. She wasn’t normally the paranoid type though, so… who knew.

Madison sat at her station listening to the conversation and going over the power systems to make sure that everything was in order and ready to go. She paid special attention to the engines, shields and weapons. The main things that they would need in an emergency.

OOC: A bump to keep this on the board, getting too close to the bottom for comfort.

Madison continued to monitor the main systems, she began working on finding a way to prevent further attacks on the computers. She was still confused as to why they only went through the food files, that just didn’t make sense to me.
