Mission:
Character Developent
Location: Sickbay
Timeline: current
ON:
Bjorgo, tired of being trapped in the isolation chamber, had then ordered his lab be opened, and a cordoned section of Sickbay, so he could work on both his problems at once. Of course, in his lab and the Iso chamber, he would jam music at high levels, focusing on thinking and action, not worrying about audio distractions. The musical rhythms kept his mental processes moving right along with them, and being an Augment, he did not require much sleep. So, here he was.
For days now he had been setting up Vette, his AI that backed him up everywhere he went. Every device on his body could access her, and never even know it. His brilliance kept him tinkering late into the night, for years, perfecting his creation. Of course, there were certain things she couldn't do without his express permission, and if given, could only be done once. He had known, for a fact, there was no threat to the ship, in any way. So, with the perfect excuse landing in his lap he used the alien being as cover to install everything needed to allow Vette to function, and not draw attention to herself. She was also now a part of his personal EMH program, if he chose. And, Vette could show up in any way she saw fit, even naked, if she wanted to. He was glad she hadn't found that to be a favorite. Now, with Vette intertwined with nary a sign of being there, Bjorgo could focus on the alien, knowing he would have access to data far faster than even the ship's computer. Wealth trumped government paid workers.
Within the iso chamber, door closed and sealed, Tore stood looking at half a dozen floating holographic screens. One in particular had him worried. "It seems the hibernation process has been reversed. I think we mucked with something we shouldn't."
"The bane of mankind, unfortunately," said Vette, a bit of cynicism there along with humor.
"Well, you're not wrong." Bjorgo left the circle of screens and went back to kneeling next to the sarcophagus, trying to decipher the damn language, or symbols, or both. He had tried everything to connect and nothing had even been close. Whatever computer ran this pod it was damned peculiar. ~Something to look into once the occupant is awake~ he thought to himself.
"No matter what, keep the thawing process as slow as possible. Dig in, send out your nanites if need be." Bjorgo was miffed, and knew he was missing something right in front of him. He stood up to leave the iso chamber when the monitor for Sickbay showed Saunders walking in, and weaving quite a bit. With a grin and shake of his head Bjorgo headed out for the iso area he had cordoned off in sickbay. Saunders was barreling towards him so he had to step in and catch the lad, keeping him on his feet. But, he had crossed the quarantine field and was now stuck.
