Ensign Sharvi was early to Lieutenant Darz’s office. He was uneasy about the night before, but ready to start his shift with the lieutenant. He had remembered the ghost in the cell and wondered what that was all about, who was the ghost, why did it point at her. Why was the force field activated and now it is not? He was curious to step inside the cell, but thought better of it, don’t want to look foolish first night on shift. He thought about the walk to his quarters, and how he met the ghost klingon and her service record files, his uneasiness of being able to trust her was returning. He shook his head, he did t want to think about that, he needed to focus on what a shift with his superior working beside him would be like… He sat by her office door and waited for her to show up.Dar came around the corner a moment later. “Are you ready to go? We have to check out the edges of the ‘off limit’ zones. Make sure the affected areas haven’t moved any. Then we’ll check the rosters and see if anyone is ‘missing’ since the last personnel check.” She moved into her office then came back out a moment later with a small PADD. “Let’s go…”
She moved back the way she came with a determined look on her face. The ship hadn’t been kind to her the night before, either. It had let the shade of her lover wander the room chastising her for trying to take care of others again. It talked her into doubting herself to the point that the dreams took over and carried out the fears in the replay of her ex’s death over and over.
The Ensign followed her keeping her pace, wondering why she was so cold toward him. He decided to keep his silence, in case she was in a bad mood. His mind still wandering about what he saw last night.

It’s just wiring.” She went to a nearby junction panel and took it off. She reached in and a moment later the lights steadied. “See… I sometimes wonder if there is someone on the ship that is sabotaging the panels and making this more than it is. I just can’t figure out why.” She set the panel back in place and glanced at him to see how he was taking it.
“Why would someone sabotage the panels throughout the whole ship, though? That would seem pointless and counterproductive, especially if crew like us keep going around fixing what they did.” He said thoughtfully. He didn’t really show an emotion. Since he didn’t fully know her motives or if he could trust her, he kept an expressionless face.
