---- 2 & video

[ At approximately 5:37 AM, the feed clicks on to show Aidan in the dim. But it's only for a second--then, the camera's turning to face the row of newly-opened morgue cell doors. ] I probably don't have to tell you they weren't like this yesterday.

This is probably a stupid question, but humor me: Can anyone tell me what was in them? [ Hey Med staff? The new guy has a few concerns. ]

Not a stupid question. [ ...Just maybe a fridge horror question because those cells are newly opened. Why? ]

As for what was in them, if anything, I'm pretty sure no one knows. Since as you pointed out, those weren't like that yesterday. In fact, I'm pretty sure those have never been open in the entire time I've been here and I was here that first jump.

[ Aidan had really just assumed that someone on the ship had locked them. It hadn't quite occurred to him that they may very well have been that way from the start.

So he takes a second to process this, to figure out what to make of it, as shown by the carefully neutral face he's eyeing the cells off to the side of the feed with. ]

So I guess my next question is, has anything like this happened before? [ Not in the morgue per se, but anywhere on the ship. Do they have a frame of reference to guess at where this sits on a scale of 'meh' to 'the ship is going to crash and we're all going to die'? ]

[ faith's communicator mostly just shows a bouncing floor. ]

Well, shit.

Chick named Tyke's head of security, you're gonna want to loop her in on this one.

How do I find her? [ Another potentially dumb question, but it's his first month, so he gets a couple of those. ]

[ because eff video Wichita's face is a sad face right now she's not about to broadcast that ]

As far as I can remember, there's only one body that should be in there.

[ There's a brief pause, and then, a little quieter: ]

Still there. [ She sounds a bit personally invested, so he figured it'd reassure her a little to know that they weren't... body-napped? ]

Whoever was in these cells is long gone now.

Well.

That's alarming.

Thanks, I couldn't tell.

And I've been around enough corpses to know that open doors like that never mean good news.

[ Corpses? That must be the D.C. job she was referring to. ]

Yeah, that's... the general response I'm getting.

Oh, you can't be serious.

Kirk. [ It's a greeting, almost a respectful one. Kirk's the one who seems to have his shit together around here, which brings Aidan to his next point: ] If you have a minute, you might want to come take a look.

Please tell me this is just your idea of a very bad joke.

They were locked solid, before. [ How the hell could he have opened them even if he wanted to? ]

[Nothing good was in them, Aidan, that's for damn sure.]

[Are you kidding.]

Okay, look. For all we know, they've always been empty and someone is just screwing with us, or it's another malfunction due to the lockdown.

That's possible, sure.

[ Tosh looks very much like she's been sitting in front of a screen instead of sleeping, which is exactly what she's been doing. She also looks worried, because yeah. This is not a good twist to the current predicament. ]

Bugger. There's no scenario in which that's a good sign.

That's... the general response I'm getting, yeah.

[ But now he's eyeing Tosh, and don't think he doesn't notice how she looks. Because he definitely does. ]

Have you slept? [ No, of course not, so let's try: ] Or eaten?

What does it smell like?

[ His tone's hushed, to be sure it doesn't carry past the immediate room. In case someone's elsewhere in Medical. ]

Empty. [ Which doesn't make sense. ] The whole place smells like death, but if something dead or alive was in these cells, I'd smell it.

[w e l p]

Don't I wish. I mean, unless I'm not in on some big med secret -- pretty sure nobody here knows.

How reassuring.

Not quite. [ Sorry, Jenna, this is all 200% fact. ]
