"Messman here, on my way," the captain replied. To those around him: "Whichever one of you lot's supposed to oversee things, you've got the bridge now. If you make a mess after I leave, clean it up before I'm back."

With that, it was a simple journey to the elevator and Deck 2, followed by a stroll through the corridors. The sight of the ancient passages made his hands itch; there were chipped, scratched and dented panels, rattling grids covering air inlets, even bundles of wiring poking through in forsaken corners. No real dangers or challenges, of course. Maintenance had seen to that. Still, it was labour far more appealing than that of captaining a ship.

Not long after receiving the summons, Ricor stood outside the CMO's chambers.
