Bridge of the Alien Ship

[Capt Ayers 0]

As the clamshell doors open a faint and unmistakable smell wafts into the corridor...the scent of death. Even without the smell, the low lights and the near tomb silence give the room a decidedly eerie feel.

 

Nick steps through the doors and into the dimly lit room beyond. He finds himself standing on a Bridge not wholly unlike ones found on countless Starfleet ships.

 

Nick glances around the bridge, his gaze lingering on the desiccated bodies that are within sight. The bodies, barely more then skeletons are in various positions on the Bridge, some are sitting in chairs while a few others are stretched out on the carpeted floor.

 

Beyond the center well of the Bridge and dominating the Bridge by sheer size is a huge viewscreen that is faceted into three sections. The viewscreen curves as it follows the inner hull behind it. It is currently dark and appears to be powerless. There are also several large windows off to the sides.

 

Next his attention turns to the clusters of display screens and controls arranged throughout the Bridge. Some of them are powered and lit up with alien text flowing across their screens while others are darkened and damaged. The consoles are arrayed in clusters though one large one, arranged in a three-quarters circle stands alone off to the side of the forward Bridge. In front of it floats a spherical hologram. A second three-quarters circle console is set just behind and above the center well of the Bridge though there is no hologram floating before it.
