Snippet #1372860

Alethea had begun to read through the medical histories of all the people on board, about a third of the way through, she heard a call to the bridge. "I wonder..." She said, looking at the few people around her. One of them shrugged, as clueless as Alethea, and then they all left as one. Down the twisting corridors, Alethea saw many of the other crew members on the same trek. She recognized a few from their medical reports.

Stepping onto the bridge, she saw the captain sitting in his chair (not to mention a strange animal wrapped around his neck), staring at the screen - a lopsided smile plastered on his face. Looking at the screen, Alethea saw a ship that looked as if it had seen better days. Filing in with the rest of the crew, she looked expectantly at Captain Harwood.
