Ryder was on his nightly stroll, it was past midnight which meant the officer had just finished his duty on Bravo shift and was spending the next thirty or so minutes unwinding as he made his way slowly to his quarters on deck 2. The watch had been silent though Dave had been making quiet the noise, the RTF guys considered it to be the proximity to the new Anomoly or even Gen their neighbourshood friendly not ghost. Honestly the last few days had been rather bizarre with her arrive, the ships early departure and ofcourse Casela. None the less this was why he did his post duty walks to clear his mind before sleep.
