No darkness, no light just a sickening shade of gray…Kroells’s logs

 

Travis sat motionless during Lt. Aerso’s account on what had happened, from his point of view on the Cairo.  He had gone over issues on shift changes and a temporary department chief.  He quietly tapped his PADD as Aerso continued his story.  Travis raised his head to see Aerso finish his story.  Travis must have been good on his reflexes or something because he managed to snag the first question.  

 

Travis slowly leaned forward as if to allow Aerso to see him better.  He quietly gruffed his voice a little to keep that illusion that he was still angry.  Travis asked that question that had been begging to be asked by the team ever since he said it:  Why was there a temporary department chief in and more importantly why?  Aerso looked at him confused like he didn’t know the meaning of the word.  Travis most likely would have lost it right then and there, well that is if he still had his emotions.  

 

Travis shifted his weight a little as he restated the question hoping that it wouldn’t confuse Aerso again.  Aerso contemplated for a moment and then replied.  Their normal chief one Lt. Facon had picked up some virus during an engineering conference.  He for some reason most likely because of the virus had been placed under quarantine until he recovered.  

 

Travis nodded and thanked him for answering the question.  He quickly looked back down to his PADD entering things that he would look into the check the story.  First he would tell Sivuk on the situation, after that he would have to check the credibility of conference.  Even if he went…this virus that he caught would most likely had come from an out break on the planet which meant more engineers most likely returned to their ship sick.  If not it looked mighty suspicious that he all of a sudden just got sick for no none reason.  He knew he would also have to discuss with Sivuk the time they would…and should interview this Lt. Facon.  He figured him and Sivuk should start going through the proper lines now so they could get permission as soon as he got back.

 

Travis looked down at the PADD which had now become his to-do list.  He looked down at it in an emotionless look.  He brought his finger down to the padd to put in a new reminder.  

 

1. Inform Sivuk

 

2. Check Facon’s excuse

 

3. Interview Facon

 

4. Find soul…
