Lieutenant Kek had offered to show Bethany around the containment deck and help her get familiarized with the protocols. Trying their best to be informative and helpful as Gadi settled into her new role. After the tour, they encouraged her to familiarize herself with the containment areas a bit more on her own…

It seemed to twist on through the body of the ship in inconceivable and almost impossible ways. Rooms and corridors and dead ends. Sometimes a room was just a viewing platform for a larger containment cell. Others were like libraries, anomalies lining the walls squared away in small units. Some were alive with activity, as officers roamed conducting experiments and making observations. Other rooms were almost completely empty.

Bethany wandered the containment deck, stopping to read the displays and information about what was there. This place was creepy and gave her sick vibes. There were even experiments running. Some of these things were even considered sentient. Were they willing participants? She doubted it if they were locked up. Apparently her new job was take whatever device engineering created and use it to trap these things and bring them back. It was like Dr Frankenstein’s lab. Guess she knew why she’d been sent here now.

She made her way towards another turn in the winding prison and stopped to read, but noticed the door was open instead of locked. She reached for the modified RTF phaser on her hip and slowly pushed the door open and scanned the interior space.

There was definitely something near the center of the room. Someone… Bethany would realize as she focused in a sense of sapience.

The light from the door illuminated the crimson figure, standing perched on two of their six tentacles. The others whipping and swaying like each was the tail of a cat. No distinct body or head. Only a roundish shape, around which was fixed five faintly glowing amber bulbs. This alien seemed not to notice her presence at first. Instead being transfixed by the other object in the containment unit. In appearance, it was the left half of a damaged and weathered stone statue, portraying another creature of unfamiliar appearance.

Their arms collapsed down to the ground, completely straight. Besides that they didn’t move, didn’t turn to face her, the amber bulbs showed little change. But it felt like their attention was now shifted toward Bethany.

The statue was supposed to be there, this… being … was not. She observed with her Human senses, not trusting her Betazoid ones. She hadn’t moved from the door. Just as calmly as she entered, she stepped back and slammed a hand to the emergency lock. Which set off notifications. =/\=Gadi to Kelmain. We have an unauthorized access to containment cell 95327. Emergency lockdown activated.=/\=
