Before Karl could reply she went on as if he had replied to her, =/\= But no matter, I appreciate your arrival, tell me is there any spare food ready from preparing for the wedding later tonight? I have not eaten since the morning breakfast several hours ago. If you do not mind could you be a lovely dear and see if the kitchen staff has anything to spare for me? I have been nibbling on some crackers I had stowed away in my luggage..=/\= She said indicating the EPS tap near her foot as if in her mind it was a small table of luggage mentioned that held a bag of crackers. =/\= But those are ill suited to stave my stomach pangs..=/\= she added.

By this point Karl’s tricorder had finished its scan, the woman was not actually there it seems, all the tricorder reported was an energy anomaly that was about the height and width of the woman he was seeing. The tricorder also confirmed that the woman or energy anomaly was indeed in minute amounts feeding on the EPS tap, each time it imbibed a charge its charge went up by a few joules of energy, currently its output was equal to about that of 10^5th Joules of energy, or roughly the constant energy produced of 1 gram of a meteor impacting the Earth’s surface. It was a strange thing to consider but were they perhaps seeing first hand evidence of a ghost??

Cleolet watched in disbelief. What the hell was she seeing. It couldn’t be a ghost. It must be a being of some kind. She turned to her officer “Run that song through our database see if we can find a match to it” she ordered.

”..Aye ma’am..” the NE said.

=c= Chief be careful, keep your distance.=c= she said not sure what else to say or do. All she would do for now is watch and see what happened.

A minute or two later the NE at comms spoke up, “..Ma’am? We ran the tune through our database, no matches came up. Though strangely it has some similarities to childhood songs from Romania on Earth, but even then there are variances and differences that set it apart..” she said.

OOC: Cross posting Karl’s replies and mine with minor edits for the bridge seeing/hearing this

Looking through the helmet camera, the bridge could see and hear what Karl was seeing, as well as his reply to the woman/anomaly, =^=Right, I see… well madam I think we should refrain from overindulging ourselves. You don’t want to ruin your appetite with something so bland do you=^= He said attempting a friendly sounding tone

SCPO Karl

The woman seemed to consider Karl’s words, looking at the EPS tap/imaginary table to cracker bag. Then something off to her right on the ship’s hull that likely only she could perceive. =/\=..Oh I do suppose you are right. I suppose my dear Sergei would not wish for me to grow fat or be full before out wedding dinner..=/\= she said then stepping off the EPS tap, which stopped shorting out. On the bridge diagnostic sensors confirmed that the shorts had stopped, while the tap itself would likely need some minor repairs, and those nearby internal systems would also need minor repairs the direct problem at least seemed to solved.

The woman seemed to then get lost in her own thoughts, as if pacing a small room only she could see and picking up items only she perceived. She then turned to Karl again as if holding something up in her left hand and striking an amateurish pose of someone perhaps wielding a small blade or some such. =/\=..Tell me dashing guard of mine, do you think I could have the makings of a warrior one day? Or are you of the opinion like many noble families here in fair Barovia, that a woman’s place is but for family and home life?=/\= she inquired. Tricorder scans from Karl now showed the energy anomaly/woman had a constant power output equal to that of 1 ton of TNT exploding, there was of course no sign of danger, nor radiation off the woman/energy anomaly as it stood there in its pose awaiting Karl’s answer.
