Faith Garrison - One very bad day.

Deck 38 Subsection 124 Alpha
Hologram Main Terminal and Data Core
Those folks at the JMC wouldn't know a good idea if it jumped up and bit
them on the butt. The first thing that came to mind when something DID bite
them on the butt was to pop it onto a space ship and send them out as
representations of mankind.
Faith Garrison's mood darkened considerably. The same was obviously true for
this cartload of raving lunatics. She was glad she wouldn't be going with
them.
Faith lifted the dark goggles and eyed her progress. The goddamn matrix was
still out of alignment. She thumped a frustrated fist on the console. She
was one of the few remaining technicians on board the Blue Dwarf, and being
the senior system engineer she was in charge of getting the hologram systems
on-line before take off.
She slipped the goggles back on, and went back to work on the console. She
sighed before dropping onto the floor and removing the access panel that let
her into the programming circuits. Faith couldn't wait to be through with
this and hop a quick shuttle back home to Titan.
An alarm sounded. A crackled female voice was shouting instructions to
evacuate. Something about an alien invasion. A panicked worker pushed his
cart speedily down the hall toward the elevator.
Faith soldered the last of the circuits into place. The readout screen on
the console above her would read "Commence Programming." She began to climb
out of the access way... the worker, not paying attention, and fearing for
his life rammed into Faith with the cart, shoving her roughly back into the
access port. A shower of sparks flashed in to the corridor. Then all was
silent...the alarms had stopped. Faith lay unmoving half in and half out of
the access port. Dead.
============================================================================
The readout screen flickered...then changed it's message to "Programming
Complete."
