Mission: Mission 3 - Coming Full Circle
Location: Kevin's Chambers

A slender but still very pleasantly curved young woman pushed the chime to Kevin's quarters. The woman, Naryi, had long, dark straight hair, light olive skin and pleasant, Romany-like facial features that identify her as a member of the Troglyte subclass of Ardanans. And the one thing that would be noticed the moment that Kevin opened his door was that she was less than pleased.

"Just who do you think you are, sir? Mucking about with MY ship!"

Kevin's eyebrows shot straight up into his hairline and took a great big breath. "I'm the Chief Engineer of The Legacy, Ma'am." He stepped to one side and motioned the woman in. "And who might you be?" After all, he'd seen everyone's personnel file, but this one? Not really familiar.

"The Chief Engineer on Legacy! That's who I am! How dare you impersonate my position! If you were going to try and forge things, you might have tried a female disguise or cohort. I'm going to speak with Captain Cindy immediately about this."

"Please do," Kevin said. "I honestly don't know what you're talking about, but please... don't let me stop you."

"You're coming with me," the woman informed Kevin. She pulled out a phaser and pointed it at him.

“No need, nameless person,” Kevin said. “I’m more than happy to go see my Captain with you.” He rolled his eyes at the fact that he was, more often than not, at the wrong end of a phaser aboard this vessel. “Let’s go then.” He moved easily to the door and headed towards the turbo lift, not trying to out pace whoever this person was, and not to make any sudden moves. Getting shot, even on the lowest setting was extremely unpleasant.

Kevin marched along. As the corridor turned a bend, Kevin continued. The two of them had been marching at a steady pace but the next time Kevin looked behind him after that bend, there was nobody there but him and his shadow.

“What the hell...?” Kevin muttered to himself. So insanity comes in all forms in Spaces... and he had been experiencing some doozies. “Chambers to Sick Bay.” Now was as good a time as any. “One rather confused CEO is on his way.”

So that’s where he’d go.
