A few days after the trip to Graven, the Engineering section was bustling as usual, engineers running around doing their jobs.

NE Radcliffe knocked on the doorway into the CE’s Office, poking his head in. “Hey, Commander, Ensign Kaia’s shift started ‘bout an hour ago, but she hasn’t showed up. No one’s seen her.”

• Engineer NE

“What?” Max asked, half listening as he looked over a schematic he was reading. Half a second later he registered what Radcliffe had said and looked around quickly.

“Have you tried calling her?” Max asked the man and raised an eyebrow in thought. “Hmmph,” was the only noise Max made in acknowledgement as he tapped his comm badge.

=/\= Ensign Kaia this is Max, where are you? You are late for your shift. =/\=

Lt Cmdr Wynter, CE

There was no response from the comms.

• Kaia

OOC: sorry it’s so short

OOC: Haha, it’s fine, it’s what I expected but had to try :P

IC: Max waited for a few more moments and when no response came, tried a different tactic.

=/\= Computer, locate Ensign Kaia =/\=

Lt Cmdr Wynter

There was a moment’s pause, then the computer beeped. =^=Ensign Kaia is in her quarters=^=

• Kaia

“Pffffttt,” Max blew out a raspberry as he thought, wiping his hand over his jaw. “Carry on here,” he told Radcliffe, “I’ll go and check on her.”

Leaving Main Engineering it took only a few minutes to traverse the distance to her Quarters via turbo lift and corridor, coming to a stop outside, he pressed the chime.

There wasn’t an answer at first. Then, after several long moments, the door slid open. Kaia wasn’t immediately visible, meaning she was probably in the bathroom ensuite.

Only a few moments after Max entered, the small Engineer emerged from the bathroom. Looking rather ill. She’d be green if she were human. It was hard to tell, but her hair had lost it’s natural shine and was duller than usual, along with her posture being exhausted and her eyes seeming dazed. “Chief…?”
