Several hours and a pointless boarding party later, the small ship had been discovered to be the wreckage of a Nausican pirate ship. The hull was damaged, the engines dead, and escape pods jettisoned. No crew remained on board. There was nothing of use or value on board, either.

Marceau had gone over to the ship with the boarding party on a shuttle not piloted by Helena, and the fill in pilot had nearly missed the docking port on the other ship, scaring Marceau half to death in the process. The mission had otherwise been uneventful.

Upon return, Marceau gave orders to continue their previous heading, and then turned command of the bridge over and left to check if Helena had returned from Sickbay.

Helena had felt the bay doors open and knew a shuttle left. She had no idea Marceau was on the shuttle, but it sucked. It should be her flying it. She didn’t say a word about it though. Her due punishment for not taking care of herself. She left sickbay and returned to her room because Marceau wasn’t done yet, and letting herself into his quarters was a little telling.

She figured Marceau would check her cabin when he was done.

Helena

Marceau checked her quarters first. He knocked and waited for an answer. When the door opened, he looked about as terrible as he had that morning. He smiled at her and stepped in, “You didn’t miss much. There was nothing on that ship. Just a Nausican wreckage.”

Helena was stretched out on her bunk reading her copy of Edith Hamilton’s Mythology. She smiled at him as he entered, but it quickly disappeared. Her book mad ethwump and thud as she closed it and dropped it to the mattress next to her. “Nausican?” Her legs swung over the side of the bed as she stood in a rush (obviously faster than her body was comfortable with, but she didn’t stop) and moved the few feet across the room to the clothes locker. “Wreckage…a Nausican wreckage?” She grabbed a uniform out of the locker and proceeded to strip out of her casual clothes and pull on the jump suit.
