[ The video feed shows Toshiko at her Comms station, looking exactly like every other resident of the ship who has gone for days without a decent night's sleep or a shower. Yes, she is still on duty. ]

Nice to finally have the lights and heat back, isn't it? I'd like to ask everyone a favor. If you happen to stumble across a little piece of equipment like this- [ She holds up a small, crude bundle of circuitry and metal ] -don't panic. It's just left from an attempt we made at tracking the source of those sounds we all heard over the network. A failed attempt, unfortunately, but you can't fault us for trying. In fact, if you find one, we'd be grateful if you'd drop it back by Communications for us.

And by the way, I'm seeing chatter about some changes to our decor. Do I even want to ask?


[OOC: Action for Comms folk is open, network only for everyone else until after Isaac has a chance to make her go back to her room. ]

[ All these concerned people wanting to make sure the nerds take care of themselves. It's heartwarming. ]

Soon, I promise. We just can't all go at once. And yeah, I heard about that. Ship could at least have given us a breather between one creepy thing and another.

This'll be my first official 'creepy thing' on board. Can't say I'm very excited about it. [ Which is putting on a brave face, because seeing her mask stopped her cold. The fact that she's kept it nearby since then isn't something she can quite explain, and it's definitely not helping her relax. ]

Mind if I ask what the stray equipment does? Or is meant to do.

Be glad you weren't here for when some of us got pulled into lovely little nightmare worlds. That was horrible. [ She hasn't dealt at all with the masks yet, though, so her opinion on what's worse might change. ]

They're essentially signal relay stations, to help us improve our ability to track transmissions. The hope is that we can develop a better way to trace the location of things like transmissions that seem to come from within the ship, or assist Security and Medical in tracking down calls for help that aren't able to give details on their location for whatever reason.

[ Yikes. Yes, she'll be glad about that. She definitely wouldn't have wanted to see her nightmare world. ]

Sounds like a great idea - and I'm sure you'll get it working eventually. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of clever minds on the ship. [ Tosh's included, obviously. ]
