On Deck

Ens Sendai Riko

 

Riko managed, somehow, not to panic in the face of being quarantined indefinitely on the planet amongst a disease that is apparently 100% fatal. He was still quite happy just to be back in his own universe; after all, he had just got back this morning, and that emotional wave had yet to pass by so that other, more desparate emotions could wash in. That's even counting the Qel's rage filled smack in the MRF earlier. So happy was Riko not to be offered a lollipop or ordered to make such confections, the violent outburst had been just what the doctor ordered, so to speak. Though his face was still stinging even now. That said, however, he had little time to think about pleasant or unpleasant encounters from the past, as time continued to plod on and new challenges were laid at his feet.

 

As he and Sargh had made their way near what appeared to be the administrative building for the area they now inhabited, he wondered what, if any, information they could glean from the center's data banks and hard copies. Though he was certainly a good way from even moderate understanding of the events that transpired on this planet, he did know that the disease had spread and killed fast, and that usually doesn't equal a lot of knowledge. He hoped, nonetheless, that someone really enjoyed his or her paperwork here, and jotted down every little tidbit about the crisis.

 

As they approached the front door, he knew he would find out one way or another very soon.
