Deck 13 for some reason the deck was cold environmental systems are not working very well the lights were flickering. A cold chill goes up everyone’s spine and they walk through those Corredor‘s. Some crew say this deck is haunted an unknown cloaked figure Romes that deck. For any who are on lucky to see it has disfigure run at them screaming “HeLp MeeeeEEEee”??????
There were few places on the Leviathan where one could feel truly alone. In the hypothetical-dawn hours, the captain’s ready room occasionally offered such a sanctuary. But for the most part, Cobb’s passage through the ship was marked at all times by questions, greetings and chatter. So to find oneself in an area of such profound silence as the corridor the old man now entered, was a remarkable, and remarkably unnerving, event.
So disturbing, in fact, was this cold, insufficiently-lit passageway, that for a moment the captain considered retreating and finding an alternative path. Although skepticism soon made mockery of such a plan.
“Pull yourself together, man,” he murmured in an attempt to break the oppressive quiet. “It’s a bloody corridor. No less and no more.”Still, the sound of his words echoing back to him in another voice, brought Zachariah Cobb to a stop, breath catching in his throat as he realised it was not his own words he had heard, but something else. Something desperate. And afraid. And then it came again.
“HeLp MeeeeEEEee”
Cobb peered into the gloom. “Hello?” he called in tones devoid of his customary gravitas. “Is someone there?”

As the lights flickered again at the end of the hall the captain saw what looks like a plague doctor. Doctors face rise and look at the captain then it rushed the captain “ DANGER!!!!!!!” As the lights flickered back on the doctor was gone almost inches away from the captain. But down the hall echoes the word “Danger,Danger,Danger”
?????????
No time to wallow in the shock of being rushed by the creature, on impulse Cobb jabbed at his commbadge. =^= Anomaly sighting, deck thirteen! =^= he called out to any RTF who might be listening.
Then, curiosity overtaking his fear, the captain began to inch slowly along the corridor in the direction that the entity had run…

The lights dimmed again and a voice echoed “dANgeR SPaCE GRiDe ZzZzZzZ”
You soon see the Image of something walking through the wall.
?????????
Luna came around the corner. “You have to be joking right. another one that can walk throw walls” She asked
ensign LunaAt this time all the lights on deck 13 went dead. I figure appeared behind Luna and release some sort of pulse send her flying into a wall. Then the figure itself vanished as the lights came back on
“hElP MeEeE ………..DaNgEr sPaCe gRiDe”
??????????
Luna sware was she hit the wall and heard and felt a bone in her wrist brake. She stepped back from the wall.” Are you just a magnit for trouble or sumthing” she growled at Cob.
” Show yourself and fight fair you butt” she yelled.Ensign Luna
Cobb responded to Luna’s accusation with an open-mouthed shrug, as if to innocently ask, “Who, me?”
The lights shut off again and the Plague doctor was holding luna’s wrist “bone broken” it put his hand to Luna neck and she felt a hypo spray inject her will a sedative. As the lights turn back on the ghost was gone. Once again the hall echoed “hElP mE” and “DaNgEr iN SpAnE gRiDe ^#*#%{+¥”
???????
As the entity seized hold of Luna, Cobb found himself leaping forward, although seemingly a second too late…
Luna scrambled back flaming her wings in protest as the stranger appeared in front of her. ” Let me go” She yelled and tried to free her arm from the Stranger. She flaped her wings in protest. Then it hit her the Seditive and Burning sensation was one she know all to well. It did not mater what form of the medication it always burned. ” C-Capten” She muttered panic crossing her face just as she passed out and fell to the floor.
Ensign Luna“Luna!” Cobb attempted to catch her, but the woman practically faded from his arms.
Power was returned to the whole deck for now but then The emergency transporter activated sending Luna to sickbay. The captain was now alone on deck 13 as emergency force fields and blocked off the deck. The voice started again “HeLp Me dAnGeR SpACe GrIDe &)(;&):($&/:)$$&&”
???????
Incensed now at the harm this entity was wreaking on members of his crew, Zachariah Cobb planted his feet to the floor, pulled himself up to his full, imposing height, then roared into the empty corridor, “Will you stick me with a hypospray too, eh? Come and face me, you damned coward!”
At the same time, a thought began to manifest in the captain’s heightened mind. The appearance of the entity seemed to coincide with a reduction in power, as if the thing was drawing from the ship’s own grid. Shuffling towards the nearest terminal, the former engineer waited for the anomaly to reappear, one eye on the power readings, the other on the empty corridor ahead.

The lights flickered once again and the same voice Echoed “dAnGeR iN sPaCe GrId ^><##}%#}|”
The entity appeared at the end of the hall and made a slow walk towards the captain.
??????
“Space grid?” Cobb murmured, distracting himself with the practicalities of engineering to ward off sheer terror at the sight of the monstrosity ahead. Could this thing be no more than projected illusion? There appeared only one way to find out.
Reaching for his phaser, the captain adjusted it to the lowest setting, barely a warm breath against humanoid skin but hopefully sufficient to disturb any digital outputs. Then without warning, he aimed towards the figure and let off a brief shot.

To figure stopped momentarily readjusted itself and continue it’s slow walk forward.
??????
Impossible to be completely sure in the dim lighting, but just for a brief moment, Zachariah thought he had seen the figure pause, as if reacting to his phaser fire but not in the way a biological entity would. Which left three distinct possibilities - hologram, anomaly, or naught more than mental hallucination from a captain at the edge of his wits. And of those three, Cobb decided immediately, one was most definitely preferable to the others.
“Are you a hologram?” he called out into the corridor. “Where’s your emitter?”
Simultaneously he pulled out his tricorder and conducted a scan of the entire passageway…

The figure stopped to the captains demand and pointed to a light panel a few feet away. “dEfEnSe PRotOcOls DaNgEr dAnGeR” The lights flickered back on and it was gone
