Capture

"Sure."
Isabelle thought she recognised the whole ship had exactly or so the same configuration a liberty dreadnaught had, and headed toward where she guessed was the hangar bays. Mere curiosity of course, she wasnt searching for anything in perticuliar.
"As of first question, we in the navy mostly know very sketchy part of the real big plan. I was assigned... 4 years ago? or so, at St-Mitchell to prevent a nomad infestation. The official version talked about a new artificial-bio life form that has mutated into something parasitic."
She shut her memory from the horror scene she endured that day. She really didnt needed to recall that...
"... of course, I guess they are alien life forms, are they?"
She continued to walk, without looking too much where she went, passing one corridor to another. It was funny, she was certain she knew the ship by heart, yet she felt like in a maze now...
Maybe it was just the different hull painting.
"If so, why are they hostile to human kind for instance?"
She remained silent for a little while, and chained up the next question,
"And, where do they come out of?... we have never traced back their source point... we have no idea where these nomads... are being, grown... or whatever."

Now, she was sure she was suposed to be well at the extremity of the bow of the ship, yet the corridor continued...
well, it wasnt exactly the citadelle, wasnt it, she thought, a little vainquished smile on her face.
