Halloween Pre-Event Story!
... "Oh Captain Voleron, glad you're calling, something is totally wrong here, everything is flickering, and..., and there are..., there are electric discharges almost..., oh, what is this, hey you..., or whatever you are, stop..., stop doing this, you can't..." Suddenly the com-signal was lost. "That was a scream we heard when the signal went off, or?", Zander_Hawk asked.
"That was me," @Voleron explained sheepishly. "I need to have a word with whoever designed these com badges. That pin on the back keeps stabbing me."
@Zander_Hawk chuckled. "You know, it probably wouldn't be as much of a problem if you didn't wear it on the front of your trunks. Or maybe if you weren't always looking for excuses to slap your com badge."
"Never mind that," Voleron exclaimed, clearly trying to change the subject. "We have to get to the Med Bay."
"Why the Med Bay?" Zander asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't we be trying to get to Engineering, or the bridge?"
"Eventually, sure," Voleron explained. "But first I need a Band-Aid."
The two made their way slowly down the darkened corridor, eventually coming to a hatch that led to one of the ship's Jefferies tubes...
Upon closer inspection of the hatch to the Jefferies tubes, it appeared they were covered by some sort of crystalline web that had a faint pulsing glow to it, mimicking synapses firing. "Space spiders? Really? Ugh. Why do the sonic showers have to be down now."
While unlocking the Jefferies tube and beginning to crawl though the tubes, the metal began to creak, and faint screams were heard in the distance "Maybe Captain Milmar discovered the replicators are down... We better hurry." Zander muttered to his comrade...
"Don't forget to close the hatch," Voleron said to Zander, continuing: "we don't want Milmar to steal our emergency wine rations before the storm is over." After some time of crawling through the Jefferies Tubes, Voleron turned a corner and screamed only as a Mountie can because of what he saw...
