▞ 002 ▚ automatic alert | open to action
[ Aberdeen knows she's not the kind of person who people will notice is gone if something is ever to happen to her. It's a symptom of being something of a recluse and of living her life behind her laptop, tucked away and listening and watching to the other people around her. Which means that something like an automatic distress beacon is necessary, given her line of work as an operative. Every hour on the hour, she deactivates it, only for it to reactivate automatically. If something happens to her, if she doesn't switch the program off, it alerts important parties of her seeming disappearance. While on the Tranquility that is the Network at large.

[ ooc note; This is basically an open post for people to get their communications on in relation to this event. SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RESPOND to this post but mostly to each other since Aberdeen isn't going to be saying much of anything. Aberdeen, in search of her cat who scurried away and out of her quarters, managed to get hit and fed off of by Todd, and so is lying somewhere — inert and passed out and very much chest-wounded in one of the distant and unused common rooms. Go searching, track her communicator, whatevs. Somebody please feel free to find her and bring her to the Medbay!
Any questions about Aberdeen specifically, feel free to plurk be about it. ]

A distress hail isn't the sort of thing you want to be greeted with when you turn your communicator on.

Call Dean first. He can make the announcement. He can reassure people better.
[A pause.]
Where's Tillman?

I do not, however, believe that passenger Tillman is responsible.

I don't think Tillman's responsible. But if someone or something is attacking people, we need all of the help we can get.

Won't be the first time I've had to do it.
Spock, you said specifically 'alien attack'.
Which you wouldn't have specified unless you had good reason.
Or at least, more than just a sneaking suspicion.
Care to clarify?

You intend to recruit him?
[ a beat, and then ]
I received a Starfleet regulation distress signal. RA1 refers specifically to alien hostility, an accusation the captain would not make lightly.
