Bart darts left using the control panel as cover to check around the corner. Seeing no one, he turns to watch Merinn as she enters, "Not bad, we'll work on it later. Besides, I'm sure you'd move faster if there were actual shots," he says as she comes to a stop.

"I'd pee myself a lot faster, you mean." Merinn lowers the pistol.

Motioning to the open ducts with his chin, "Looks like you were right and Des is in the vents. Wonder why the comm doesn't work in there?"

"You make sure the ducts are sealed and lock this door," patting the hatch into engineering as he walks out. "I'm off to take care of the bridge. Once that's secure we'll lock staterooms and go through one section at a time," as he briskly moves across the cargo bay.

"Aye, aye." Merinn closes and locks the engineering access hatch and leans down to look into the vent. "Des?"

PTGM - I don't recall if I programmed the iris's to close behind me I'm at work right now. I'll search the archives.

Relying on Eris to let me know if I hear this if they're open or closed.

The iris valves inside the ductwork are closed, and locked. Des and Merinn have the codes to open them. Des is slowly working her way forward from Engineering, opening, checking, and closing the vents behind her.

She is examining a box attached to the top a metal frame holding a grav module when she hears, "Des?" over her commdot.

Des doesn't think that box should be there, and she also thinks, but isn't sure, that *this* is the grav module that has been having those power fluctuations. There are wires coming out of this box and going into the bundle of wires carrying power, comm, sensor, etc...that doesn't look *right*!

She hasn't noticed it there before while she was working in the ductwork, but she hasn't really examined the grav module from this side before, either. She's been working on the module itself on the other side of the ductwork, not looking at the frame holding it in place. It could have been here since the ship had its refit on Glisten for all she knows.

"Never mind Doc. I'll take the skipper. He should be on the bridge anyway."

*What the hell?* Des wonders looking at the box.

"What want?" She asks over her com.

Des pulls her meters out of the cargo pockets on her coveralls and gives the box a very quick once over with the scanner.

Des pulls her meters out of the cargo pockets on her coveralls and gives the box a very quick once over with the scanner.

It is drawing a small amount of power from the bus, leaching off the power going to this particular grav module. It is also outputting a very small, but regular, pulse down the data line carrying sensor data.

Des makes a guess that this thing is making the sensors give off a small regular blip. It's possible that someone could be tracking the ship with this thing, and nobody aboard would be the wiser. What she doesn't understand, from her quick look, is why the grav module kept having those irregular drops and rises in power consumption. This leach should increase the power load, but consistently, not in an irregular fashion.

Des, puts her probes away, and continues to crawl forward, checking each segment of the duct system, both for intruders, and now for strange black boxes.

OOC: I want to give Bart (and everyone else) a bit of time to do their actions before I continue with Des' search, okay?

OOC: In that case.

Bart stands there at least a second before asking, "Skipper?" Then waits almost a whole half second before trying again, "CAPTAIN!!"

"Is not going nowhere. We finishes search and comes back for look see."

"Okay." Merinn straightens up and goes to her console. "What kind of box is it?" She brings up the diagnostic program and begins checking anything that consumes power in that area.

JR

"Looks like beacon or transmitter or maybe garage door opener."

"Funny," Merinn deadpans. "Is it self powered, or is it pulling from the ship's power?"

JR

"Is pulling power from wonkie grav unit." Des mutters starting to move forward through the shaft again.

"Dammit." Merinn traces everything that feeds into the grav unit, and everything else with cabling that passes through that area.

JR

"Focus Merinn, one thing at a time," Desdaemona says quietly continuing her search of the ducts, "its was here before we gots aboard and its still be after we finish searching."

"I can watch here and find out about this thing at the same time," she snaps.

"You won't find out about from there," Des grins admirning the artistic simplicity of a device similar to something she planted on a ship a long while back. "Is only draw power is not hooked into anything that I can sees but power and sensor output."

"I thinks is probably monitoring and sending out burst transmissions of data. Likes Bigs Brother."
