======================================================================
Shakespeare stopped and looked up.
"Halt. I hear something," He traced the sound to the back of the
Starbug, "The sounds of which I hear are produced over there. Perhaps
a thruster is bust?"
The sound was almost a whining sound, and barely audible.
"I can't hear anything. You must be dreaming Doc." Alota
replied. "But I'm sure you'll get things sorted out with Keto.
Harris, well, Harris isn't exactly friendly to everyone he sees."
Shakespeare returned to the topic, "As I have witnessed," he said,
only to be distracted again. "By the gods, what is that infernal
sound?!"
Shakespeare walked to the back to investigate this mysterious noise
he could hear.
"There's nothing back there Shakes... You're going mad."
Shakespeare turned around slowly. "I am not, nor have I ever been
mad." he said calmly. "Tis a fact I am sure of."
Alota withdrew the comment, "Ok, but there's nothing over there."
"I shall check the area." Shakespeare said, putting his foot down.
As the doctor moved closer to the back of the craft, a figure made
itself known. On the floor, curled up in a crude blanket behind a
stack of boxes was Crewman Chris Zodar.
He appeared to be hurt, perhaps he had been unconcious for a period
of time, but this was where the noise was comming from; Zodar was
starting to groggily wake up.
