Side Sim - Somewhere just inside the restricted area

Posted March 22, 2020, 8:01 p.m. by Lieutenant Kalika Darz (Security officer) (Melissa Aragon)

Several months ago
It happened all the time. People appeared, disappeared, reappeared and disappeared again. Every day the personnel count on the Viking could fluxuate from 1 to as many as 10 people. Several decks were uninhabitable, cordoned off because they were a hazard. Nothing that could be fixed easily, yet no explanaition for why systems were failing.

She had been escorting a set of engineering workers to one of those decks when Kalika and the two Ensigns became part of those who ‘disappeared’ on that day.


Today

The hall lights were flickering. It wouldn’t have caught anyone’s notice except that there wasn’t supposed to be power on this deck. Without warning there was a loud scream, almost animalistic, then silence. If anyone investigated, there was a body, face down, on the deck. Sleeves and pant legs tattered as if the person had been living in them for years, or had been in a fight and lost. Skin over hands and face were lightly charred with second degree burns. Edges of the material also scorched on closer investigation. The light green skin hinted at someone with mixed Orion lineage. But with the collar torn, no rank badge, no comm badge and lack of consciousness, identity would only come if someone who knew Kalika before her disappearance was the one to come upon her. Only her tatters of her security uniform gave away she was from the Fleet.
