Ji Non Kala security team brief room "So, you all know Lt. Lian sealed herself in the bay yesterday. And let's not forget all the excitement and commotion that was flying all around when she got what was left of the damn catalyst back into the station. Hate those damn smartbombs...." "What's with the call to suit up, sir?" "Right, I'm getting to that. So, here's the deal. She's s'posed to check in every two hours, basically just to let us know whatever the hell she's doing in there isn't blowing up the station or what have you. Last call came in 2 and a half ago, and all comms and computer interfacing with the bay have gone dead. So, guess what that means, boys." "...Well, I can't say I LIKE the idea of poking my nose into there, sir." "You ain't feeling any worse about it than me, kid, but this is why we get paid.*Mumbled<Not paid enough> There's been no response from us trying to get in touch with her. With any luck, she's just gotten excited and forgot track of time, and we can all go get a drink and a guy or girl <or both> at the nearest club."
Ji Non Kala Medical Bay entrance "No reaction from door control, sir." "Just lovely. Right, torch it then." "You know that bad feeling I said earlier? Yeah, it's not getting any better..." "Good on you for volunteering to be point-girl, Thera." "Gods damnit." "No lights on. So, Eyes open, in we go."
It's cold. Not the kind of cold one feels touching snow. The sort of cold that dives through your skin, swims through your flesh, and dances in your mind.
"...Ma'am?" "Over there." "Easy now." "What the hell is that thing on the table?" "Don't touch it you idiot!" "Looks like a person. Kinda." "Looks mostly dead to me." "I hope it's more than mostly, myself." "Shut up, you idiots. Ma'am, are you allright?"
First impression. Gut feeling. Instinct. Intuition. It has a lot of names. Man fears what he cannot readily understand. And that little voice that tells him when something is going to go wrong?
"Her extremities are twitchy, sir. Might be some neural damage. Think her implants are acting up?" "Like I'd know. Thera, help her up, and we'll call the Doc down." "Her medsuit's got some weird tears, si..." "...Thera?" "Hrrk..gha..." "Ma'am, don't move!" "What the hell did you just do that for?" "Stop there, Lt! Not another step." "She just bloody knifed Thera, Don!" "You think my eyes stopped working, Ale-" "Sonofa-"
"Nation will remedy your imperfection."
Man should pay more attention to what that voice says.
