“I think if we are quick and careful, we’ll be back in no time. Who’s leading the way?” Naomi asked, trying to hide her nervousness. She kept her finger over the console and ready to press it for their next destination.

“Good luck,” Jonathan said as he stepped back from the lift and towards the door. Staying just inside the door, to stay out of sight of anyone outside, Jonathan flipped his communicator open.

[O] Bonnaventure. One to transport up. Energize. [O]

Cmdr. McKnight - XO

“Thanks,” Naomi replied as she watched the XO head out.

She sighed then pressed the office level in, letting the lift take over. Due to the lack of response to her question, it meant she had to take the lead. Not the best choice in her opinion, but someone had to. Once they arrived she intended to access the main computers and collect whatever data she could. Maybe it might answer some questions they all held.

Nissek silently agreed with Naomi’s choice as she saw which button the Ensign pressed in. It would likely not be where the energy source was, but perhaps they could find something that would indicate where it was.

With a smooth thud and hum the lift doors shut and with a slight shudder the lift began to rapidly descend. There was no antigravity field here so the nauseous feeling of rapid descent was a present feeling in their guts.

Then before it could grow in scope a ding heralded their sudden stop. They were now a quarter mile under the ground, as the doors opened onto the office floor. A dark gloom welcomed them from powered down work stations and floor lighting. Maybe there was a light or power breaker/switch nearby?

The feeling of descent was unfamiliar to Nissek, having spent many years aboard starships, but did not seem to bother her. Stepping out of the elevator, she looked for any way to switch on the light. “I am confident we can figure out their system… so long as we can see it.” She said. “Perhaps some sort of records?” Personally, she hoped the office was computerised. Tracking anything through paper files would be quite inconvenient.

Naomi was silent. She felt her body curl in on itself and tighten, the anxiety strong with the descent downward. Her eyes stared forward to distract her from the sick sensation. Her ears caught the quiet thump of the elevator as it passed each level. When it hit the floor, the elevator pinged and she managed to hold firm in place. She was thankful for the company when the Vulcan woman moved first, exiting into the darkness.

Being human, her dark vision was very poor but she managed to make out faint shapes of the workplace. Naomi stepped partway through the door then stopped. The woman hoped to use any faint light to illuminate the scenery. She looked to the wall for any shape that could be a switch for the lights.

“I wasn’t expecting this. As long as we have power, I agree… but if we don’t, that is another problem.” Naomi stated with worry, hoping there was a switch around to brighten up the place.
