The Hunt
Who: Hikaru Sulu, Pavel Chekov, Sanjay Singh...and whatever is in the walls
What: Sulu, Chekov, and Singh investigate the mysterious noises coming from inside the walls of the ship
Where: The walls, beginning in Sulu's quarters.
Hikaru sent a PADD message to Mr. Chekov and Mr. Singh: It's time to begin the hunt. For weeks now, Hikaru had been hearing odd, non-mechanical sounds-skittering and clambering-in the walls of his quarters. Others were hearing it, too, and always at night. Bioscanners weren't picking up anything unusual, however, so the only course of action would be good ol' first-hand research with his buddy Chekov. Hikaru had never met Ensign Singh, on the other hand, except in passing and was looking forward to getting to know him. The young engineer was a welcome addition to the hunting party, despite the fact that it was at the request of Scotty, who didn't trust Sulu and Chekov rambling around the walls of his precious ship. Scotty's probably right, Hikaru thought with a smile, We probably would break something.
Hikaru, dressed in all black, fiddled with his gear while he waited for Chekov and Singh to arrive. Utility belt: check. Flash light and backup flash light: check and check. Night vision glasses as backup backup: check. He also had some infrared glasses, a PADD with the ship's architectural diagrams, rope, carabineers, tools, a collapsible cage for specimen collection, phaser set to stun (just in case), and some snacks (for the always-hungry Chekov). Maybe I should have opted for the utility BAG instead of belt... Hikaru thought, as he looked at all the devices strapped to his torso and dangling from his belt. He went with the belt because the bag looked like a fanny pack, and he knew he wouldn't be able to live that down. He sighed. It was such a good bag, too.
The door chimed, rousing Hikaru from his thoughts. "Enter!"
