1pm and Cai Taylor sat alone in the lounge eating a sandwich in front of a 3D chess set. He had the pieces set up in a puzzle that eluded him. It required solving in three moves but no matte what he did he could only do it in four. He pushed his hood bs k and ran his hands through his hair in frustration then reset the puzzle.

He chewed thoughtfully and considered it again.

Dr Jarvis entered the quiet lounge having not long completed his first day on the ‘job’. He used the term loosely as his day of physical examinations and equipment calibration had done little to excersize his brain. The novelty of freedom would soon wear off he realised and he would have to find some other form of stimuli, given the Captains inherent distrust of him would not likely see him weild a scalpel any time soon. Wandering over to the replicator he ordered a salisbury steak with mashed potatos and steamed green vegetables. To acompany it he ordered a glass of wine, however, was already well aware of that it was not real alcohol. Making his way to a table he could not help but notice the blue-haired fiugure sitting alone with a 3d chess set. He watched as they re-positioned the peices then sat and stared at them. He recognised the puzzle instantly, the infamous Kleptonite manouvour. Made famous by the player of the same name who had used it to escape check-mate and eventually win the match. It required the peices to reach certain positions in only three moves. His interest piqued he walked towards the table and its occupant.

“Having difficulty solving that puzzle?” he asked by way of a greeting. He waited for a response.

Dr J. Jarvis M.D.

Cai looked up at the source of the voice and looked the man it belonged to up and down. Something about him seemed off putting but he wasn’t sure what it was.

“Yes.” He said and turned back to scowl at it.
