Network Announcement [backdated to the 7th]

[oversight]

[ By the time Blake gets to writing everything up, it's early in the morning on the 7th, some time around 0700. He doesn't particularly enjoy addressing the network, especially not like this, but the information is definitely something that needs to be shared. ]

At approximately 0415 this morning, and according to witness reports, the individual identified as Antti Basher escaped medical quarantine and proceeded toward the main shuttle bay. At this time, it is believe that Basher made contact with Marcus Rothschild and Odessa Knutson. Basher later stated that their involvement was voluntary, but not premeditated.

The above mentioned individuals arrived at the main shuttle bay at 0421 and proceeded to power up a flight-capable shuttle at 432 by bypassing its main security protocols. Due to the small number of Flight Crew Members in attendance, the unsanctioned presence elicited immediate intervention.

Antti Basher was successfully apprehended in the Control Office by Flight Trainee John Blake, but not before accessing the airlock controls. At 0437 the shutter bay doors were opened without the appropriate warning protocols and authorization. This facilitated the escape of Odessa Knutson who currently remains at large. During this time, several members of the Flight Crew, Marcus Rothschild, and at least one unidentified individual were subjected to unsafe conditions caused by decompression.

At 0445 atmosphere reached and maintained satisfactory levels. The Flight Crew Members then discovered the body of the deceased Marcus Rothschild, the apparent cause of death cited as asphyxiation.

The circumstances surrounding Rothschild's death are currently under investigation.

For a information on obtaining a full report of this incident, please contact John Blake or Hoban Washburne.

[ If it sounds like a police report, well, there's a reason for that. ]

You think you could be a little more professional about it? It almost didn't feel like I was reading an operations manual written by an automaton, so you might be losing your touch.

Haven't powered down in days. I'm off my game.

[ Technically he shouldn't have even been in the bay at the time, but considering recent events — especially those dreams that didn't belong to him — it's maybe no surprise he was working so early. Maybe less surprising, though, is that he's still working, back on the job in time for his regular shift to start. ]

Death by decompression does not look pleasant.

[sorrycharles]

Where are you holding him?

[ just curious ]

[oversight]

I'm not at liberty to divulge that information during a pending investigation.

Did you need to see him?

[birdarang]

I should have been there. I'm so sorry.

If you need me to be there at all just let me know. I might be a Flight Officer but I have background in this.

I might ask you to cover one of my shifts later this week. Otherwise, I won't tell you to stay away, but it's mostly out of my hands by now. If you want to get involved, you'll probably have to clear it with Wash.

[brainsqueeze]

You okay?

[oversight]

Better than Rothschild.

[ But he's definitely a bit shaken up, even if he's not copping to it. ]

[dreamcrutcher]

thanks for being there, officer. hope you are okay.

question. why was he quarantined? was he sick or just crazy?

. text .

[oversight]

I'm not qualified to asses his physical or mental condition in any official capacity, but he appeared stable. I'm told he was being held for his own safety.

[uncurse]

Any word from Basher on what he thought he'd get out of this?

[oversight]

A way off this ship, from what I can tell.

Cop or military?

[oversight]

Cop, once upon a time.

[He's not sure he wants to answer this, seeing how he doesn't know any of these people, but curiosity gets the better of him. For one, he feels his particular skillset might be of use, especially when there's death involved. For another...]

Wait, are you saying that someone actually got off this vessel?

[audio]

[oversight]

[ Blake doesn't feel all that interested in taking phone calls but he knows he opened himself up to questions when he alerted the network. Instead of begging off, he finds somewhere quiet and responds to Carlisle. He doesn't recognize his voice. ]

Yeah, via shuttle. Fairly certain we won't be able to recover her or the ship.

[kutte]

Jesus Christ.

[ at both the information and the police report. ]

So, anyone injured besides Rothschild? We lose anyone else?

[oversight]

No, we all came through it intact, luckily. Can't say it was very pleasant, though.

[wiped]

What happens now? To her? Can she get anywhere on that shuttle? Can we track her that way?

text;

[oversight]

Most of those questions are better suited for Wash, but I can say that she'll only get as far as that shuttle will take her. Take that how you want to.

[ He wouldn't dare give guarantees knowing what they have to do to stitch those shuttles together. ]

[puppydogeyes]

[It isn't that the rest isn't important, only she knows parts of it already and:]

Blake?

text;

[oversight]

Yeah. You've got questions, I take it?

[ He means about what happened in the shuttle bay, but that's just because that's really what's on his mind at the moment. ]

[forgodssake]

thank you for the information
do you have any further information regarding Dr Knutson?
she was a member of my department

[ Was. ]

text. private.

[oversight]

The window for recovery gets smaller by the minute. It wasn't very large to begin with, sorry to say.

[milagros]

My name is Dr Gallo, I was on the team that made the call to place Basher in quarantine originally and previously worked in Medical. I'd like a copy of that report.

[oversight]

That shouldn't be a problem.

I wouldn't mind any information you can offer about your experiences when dealing with Basher. Would you mind answering some questions?
