Ghost Signals, Episode 2: Part 2.1
STEGGY Apologies for the sudden pop- up, boss. I've got something you need to know.
RAIVEN (concerned) What is it? Something wrong with the ship search?
STEGGY (shakes his head) Nah, actually. I've found a really perfect one. But there's a caveat attached to it that could prove a problem for us.
RAIVEN What do you mean by...?
Her train of thought is interrupted when she sees the line start to move forward.
RAIVEN (Cont., wrapping the chat up as she walks) I'm heading into the KVhag now. Can we hold off on the explanation till I'm finished here and back in the lab?
STEGGY Yeah, but I really think we need--
Raiven turns the comm off before he can finish the rest of his response, and slips it back in her pocket as she stops walking. It's only a short while this time before the good Doctor continues walking to the platform next to the KVhag.
A few moments later, after watching another person enter their destination into the keypad and walking inside, Raiven makes her way to the area.
RAIVEN Finally...!
CUT TO:
A close-up of the platform a short time later as Raiven approaches it. You can see a map of the building emerge from the top of the keypad in holographic form; the gaze of the camera moving up and down, symbolizing her POV examining it as she speaks.
RAIVEN (V.O.) Personal Security Department... Personal Security...
The movement stops upon seeing the aforementioned department highlighted somewhere in the upper-middle area of the map; the words "PERSONAL SECURITY DEPARTMENT- FLOOR .85.2GAMME."
RAIVEN (V.O.) There it is!
We see the good Doctor's long fingers type in the code onto the keypad.
CUT TO:
A side shot a couple of seconds after this; the portal unfurled, ready for travel. Raiven takes in a deep breath shortly after a brief bit of stretching; her left hand squeezing the tablet.
RAIVEN (exhales) ...Hate going through KVhags! (she walks inside) Always make me queasy...
Inside, we see her falling through a tunnel with a bright kaleidoscope of colors in the background. The tunnel moves in every possible direction- up, down, side-to-side, rumbling and tumbling through to her destination. All the while, Dr. O'Ozahl is screaming in terror at the top of her lungs.
RAIVEN Sweet...Flarking...DOUGHJ GLEE!!!
The chaotic terror continues on for what feels like an eternity. Then, suddenly--THUMP!
INT. HALLWAY, FLOOR .85.2GAMME
Raiven slowly gets back up to her feet as the scene clears out, showing a long hallway that stretches out to the horizon in the background.
RAIVEN Didn't puke up my mid-meal afterwards- one in the...plus column.
She dusts off a bit of her coat a moment after getting herself back in proper equilibrium. She then turns around and makes her way up the hallway.
A short distance later, Raiven stops in front of the door to the Personal Security Department. She grabs the doorknob a few beats later, which glows a fuschia color as she opens it.
INT. PERSONAL SECURITY DEPARTMENT- Continuous
The camera follows her on a side shot walking into what seems, at least according to the typical looking office setting visible in the background. She looks around in her general eye level for the person she talked to on the comm. A few moments later, we see Lt. Gee_Ahm appear in front of the good Doctor.
GEE_AHM (stern, to Raiven) You're ten minuyats late, Dr. O'Ozahl.
RAIVEN (slightly surprised, to Gee_Ahm) Am I? Hadn't checked the time since coming out of the Whaj.
GEE_AHM The explanation's of zero value. The DNA has already been processed. All I need is a sampling of your rationale for the S&S order, and we can begin.
RAIVEN Okay...
She opens up her tablet, and selects a few pieces from her Shocla which she hands to the Lieutenant a moment later.
RAIVEN (Cont.) I gotta ask, Lieutenant, 'cause it's been bugging me since we spoke last. What did you mean by "keeping limber?"
GEE_AHM (receiving the docs) It was a means of warning. Testing for an S&S order can be quite taxing, depending on how the test materializes. (flicks them up to the ceiling) Whether what they want is really worth the struggle, worth the protection.
RAIVEN What does the test look like?
GEE_AHM It takes the data and proceeds to extrapolate through a series of worst case scenarios fleshed on what I mentioned before.
RAIVEN Sounds like a flarking death trap.
GEE_AHM (smiles) Only if you fail...fortuitous tidings, Doctor! (takes Raiven's tablet from her grasp)
A split second later, the visage of the Lieutenant disintegrates piece by piece along with the rest of the office-like exterior they had been in.
