Through Time, Darkly

[color=#FFFF00]The Bridge

Watching the feed from the bridge console, Captain Nathan Wells spoke; "I don't like the look of this." He turned to the man at the console beside him, and said; "Tom , here's a cardkey. I want you to get Robert, and go check out a couple rifles out of the armory. I want you outside the hatch to that hangar. Do not enter unless I give the go. Right now. Move." Damnit. Should have had them ready before he landed. Nickatelli was right

It was at this moment Denise noticed the pistol for the first time, and the sight of it made her blood run cold. She thought she had considered all the dangers, taking the time for the hazard suits, a careful check before the helmet came off. For some reason she hadn't even considered the possibility that the Lieutenant himself could be a threat to them.


She stared into the wide eyes of the visitor, eyes that cut through her, and she was afraid. He looks exhausted She thought. Like He's on the edge of a breakdown.....or past it. This could get out of control.


"We'll find out what the noise was, I'll find out....But please, please Lieutenant, calm down. I need you to relax, alright?"

The Lieutenant said nothing, and Denise slowly walked back towards the wall. I need to make my intentions clear "Alright. I'm going to call the Captain, okay? I'll ask him what that sound was, and then we can figure out where to go from there." She tried hard to keep her voice steady and even, only partly succeeding. She reached the bulkhead next to the communications panel, and turned to face Doyle. She suddenly noticed Nickatelli had come to within a meter of Doyle,at his left shoulder, as Doyles attention had been focused on Denise against the bulkhead.

Oh no, Elias, don't
