Mission: The Enemy Within: Typhon is Missing!
Location: Nondiscript Cargo Bay

Emmett was looking rough as the mouths went by and he remained in the unused cargo bay using an unused cargo container as a house near a cargo bay and down the corridor from the head. He had been here months now. He had counted on getting found much faster but something about the cargo bay interfered with his combadge so he could not call for help. He hung onto the only advice he had about getting lost as a child, stay where you are and wait to be found.

He was looking for his Lab when he got lost oh so long ago. He was sure his wife was missing him and that station security was looking for him they were sure to find him eventually, right? As the months mounted he was beganing to think he was never going to be found.

It was Jacob Thomas, owner of Callisto Salvage, incorporated, who found this odd one, in a collection of lost cargo. "What the hell?" Thomas asked. "You better not be a stow-away that Atwood agreed to hide. This place would make a terrible sanctuary. Also, chap, are you aware that you have been sleeping next to a radioactive crate? I hope it didn't spring a leak, for your sake."

"Actually I am lost, You see I was looking for my lab and ended up here I was not sure where to go from he so I stayed put and waited to be found, I did not think it would take this long though." Emmett said, "As far a radiation goes, I feel fine so no symptoms of radiation sickness means I am probably fine. How ever I would be nice to find my lab finally."

"Right. Well, let's just get someone to help you, then." He pulled out a small comm-device, being a civilian. "Mister Thomas, to Medical, please send someone to assist me in cargo bay fourty two." He paused, to look at the man, again. "Perhaps, send a security, escort, or someone to give this gentleman a hand, as well. He looks a little lost."

=/\= Security acknowledges, officer on their way. =/\=

Minutes later a security officer walked in. "Are you Lieutenant Kellan?" The officer looked relieved as he checked the man's face against a picture of the missing scientist on a pad in hand. "Security has been looking for you since you were reported absent and the computer couldn't find you. I'm guessing whatever is in these containers was causing interference."

The officer looked at the doors as they opened for a nurse.

"Yes, yes, but I swear I feel fine." Emmett said.

"Quite right, old boy." Thomas said, with a nod. "It's scavenged breen technology. Commander Skylar was supposed to have a team look into it, but things have been a bit busy."

Jane was in the cargo bay to pick up a supply of special fertilizer for the arboretum. The security guards and other personnel in a cluster caught her attention. Especially when she recognized the Chief Science Officer. "Lieutenant Kellen?" she asked, walking over to the group. "We thought you left the Starbase. Your wife's been frantic."

"Um, I could not find my lab, I guess I got a little lost." He said.

"Did you consider tapping on a comm panel and asking for help?" Jane asked.

"I suggest we all hurry up as the base is at Red alert status." The security officer said to all present.

"Come on, Doctor," Jane said. "Let's get you to sickbay. I'll inform your wife." She nodded to a security guard to help her as she escorted the scientist out of the cargo bay.
