Lieutenant JG Renaie Shortrith - Complex Unfamiliar

[Renaie Shortrith]

((Xenobiology Lab, Sickbay Complex, Deck 10, USS Ronin))

The comm channel closed, and Renaie finished their notetaking on the overall mood of the crew - tense, anxious, concerned. They donned a coat - just in case - before heading over to the Xenobiology lab in Sickbay to meet Doctor Beck.

As the doors slid open, Renaie smiled at their fellow doctor, glancing up at the drones he was looking at before facing him once again.

Beck: Counselor. Pleased you could join me.

Shortrith: Doctor. Figured it'd be worth helping any way I can. Any chance I could ask what's happening?

Beck: There is a lot going on right now, but I have one important question to ask you before we dig into anything: do you have any experience studying astrobiology? And are you at all familiar with cosmozoan life forms?

Renaie grimaced before shaking their head.

Shortrith: Nope.

Beck: We've got three hours to become experts, if that tells you anything.

Their face fell even more, and their eyebrows decided to knit themselves together.

Shortrith: Is there a big space lifeform out there we don't know much about?

Beck: Response

Shortrith: I take it that's what one of the specialists are there for?

Beck: Response

It was that which made Renaie pause and do some mental calculations.

Shortrith: … Galaxy class size? Akira class size? Any idea how big we're talking?

Beck: Response
