Case: Alptraum - WiP

[Sabru]

Location: Hangar 3, Pueblo Bonito, Baffin.

"Control, this is Lightning 3-1. Inbound with Priority Medical Emergency. Request medical and security teams to meet us on the double. 3-1, out."

Security and medical teams arrive just as the ship docks in the hangar. The medics examine the patient as he is offloaded.

"Brother Fith, can you hear me?" The lead medic examines him further. "He's non-responsive, no pupil movement. Breathing steadily though. My guess is shock trauma to the cranium." He turns to the personnel exiting the ship behind them. "What the hell happened? Did the ship take heavy damage?"

The second in command of the ship involved speaks up. "It was.... the... nomads. several of them. They.... did something. I think they were speaking to him. but then the rest of us feel unconcious. Next thing i know, we are on a VR freighter heading to Shasta. The captain was strapped to a stretcher and mumbling random words and phrases."

The medic lets out a long stream of the same expletive. "Take him to the high security ward. Post a guard. I've got to give pope Skarsi the bad news."

5 mins of searching later

*Skarsi is training is his personal exercise room.*

"ahem... Pope Skarsi, may i have a word?" Skarsi turns from his weapons practice and lowers his sword. "You may."

"I'm afraid i have some bad news. Brother Fith has been injured during an encoun....." The rest of the sentence is drowned out by Pope Skarsi punching straight through the nearest (metal) wall. Skarsi walks up to the medic, his hand bleeding profusely from what he just did, and wrenches him up by his collar, yelling "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?"

" Well, from what the rest of the crew has said, Brother Fith was doing his popely duties and speaking with some friendlies present when several nomads appeared. It seems that one of the nomads may have used some sort of.. mind manipulation on him."

"Thank you for informing me." Skarsi puts the medic down and takes a step back."I apologise for my actions. you may return to your duties."

"Yes, Pope." The medic hurries back to the medbay, the sound of Pope Skarsi punching more things rings out behind him.
