It had been a week after the incident on Jet, after being beaten and nearly left for dead, he had some time to heal and get into shape. He still had some bruises, which had been healing, limping as he walked down into the Engine Room. It was the first time since the incident that he walked around the Colony by himself. With the close eye by Hayden and the rest of Security, they kept an eye on him. But not at this moment.
On this night, he could not sleep. He had some sort of feeling that he needed to go back to the scene of the crime, perhaps he could find clues to what had happened to him and who had nearly killed him. He was in uniform, with his gun on his side, he slowly tipped toed into the dark engine room. He peered into the area, making sure that he would not be felt within the room. The area was loud, it seemed like the engineers had been working, the the sounds of machinery and electricity pounded through the acoustics of the room.

Beatrice tossed and turned in her pod turned bed, flashes of memory piercing her dreams. She dreamed that she was in some sort of rage, animalistic, seeing her arms fly; fists and feet pounding at a boy's form. The guy didn't seem like he was aware of her, so he was easy to take him down. It was what happened after she had gotten him on the ground, that sent her waking; screaming. Fingernails ripped at the clothes, clenching on the cloth, ripping it all off, before she scratched and bit at the guy's flesh.
Tris sat up, drenched in a cold sweat; breathing heavily. The girl would scamper from the bed, pulling on her uniform of black, and rushing from her quarters, with a hiss of the door. The girl walked quickly through the corridors, weaving her way through the ship, before she stood at the doorway of the engine room. Brown eyes searched the scene, head flinching when flashes from her dream, the memories of the time during her black out. She fell to her knees, putting her fists to the floor.

Zahir rushed out of his chamber, realizing that his little pet that he had been hiding in his room had escaped. A couple days ago, the Biologist Assistant had found this little rodent on an unauthorized hike within the jungles of the planet. While he was studying the trees of the planet, the little rodent came up to him. Zahir, intrigued by the cute little thing, decided that he would just take the adorable little rodent home, so he could study it some more...by studying it, we mean he played with it. in his chamber, he had gotten a small cage that he stole from the science labs and decided to give his leftovers to the little rodent.
Zahir had injected a chip into the little rodent, so he was able to follow the creature's steps into the Engine Room with his phone, as he looked inside, he heard the rodent roar very loudly, which frightened Zahir. The roar sounded very forceful as if it were on the attack. The last thing that Zahir wanted was for the others to find out that a creature had gotten into the ship. Not only would Zahir potentially get into trouble, the little rodent may be captured and perhaps killed.

Hayden Leone hadn't even tried to sleep that night, he was up, searching the engine again, for clues. He had marked out in his head where the best possible positions were to make a successful hiding place for an ambush. There was a few days, at least the last three, that he hadn't returned returned to his room for rest. Showers, yes, but sleep wouldn't gotten in the way. So, as dark circles lined around his eyes, he worked; trying to figure this mystery out.

Jet, as he looked into the corner, he saw a lady colonist on the floor with her fist pounding. Although it was dark, the silhouette of the lady pierced through the hallways, she seemed generally emotional. This rather peculiar behavior was quite suspicious to Jet. Why would she be pounding the floor in fury? What was she doing at this time of night? Was she hurt? As he observed with his limited peripheral, he saw that the emotional girl was drenched with the moisture of sweat. Something about her seemed quite familiar, where did he meet her?
He then heard a very eerie howl. The sound of a creature. What was happening in the Engine Room?

Tris Scottsfield shook her head, trying to pull herself to the present, willing herself to figure herself out. She thought she saw an attacker, so...she attacked. Mere self-defense, right? The security officer pulled herself to her feet, the noise catching her attention, which slid over to the figure that seemed attracted to the noise as well. She didn't know what this person was, friend or foe, but she stepped toward it, as she called, "Freeze! I am Tris Scottsfield of Security! Hands on your head!"

"No, don't kill it!" he said out loud and rushed in front of Tris with his hands up, "the little thing should not be killed, it is only innocent. Put me behind bars if you want, but don't kill the little creature!" he pleaded with the Security Officer. Zahir was willing to risk his life in order to save his little friend. He shunned his face down in pity, he did not know if the lady was going to put him in cuffs or banish him for not following orders, but he couldn't take the suspense anymore.
Panicked, the little creature made a roar, the sound of his whimper vibrated and echoed throughout the dark and metallic room. It heard its master in distress and it felt his master's pain. The creature ran up to Zahir and Tris and growled at the lady.

Hayden heard the noise that came from the area closer to the door, words seemed frantic, though he couldn't understand them. He moved through the dark, moving to the confrontation. He'd creep behind the creature, crouching down as he placed hands on eith side, and then would lift it into the air. "What is this thing," he'd ask.

"I am Jet, head of security!" he said out loud, as he saw Tris for the first time. Something was very familiar about the lady, but he could not pinpoint why. She was part of his division, but he had never introduced himself to her before.
As Zahir took over his attention, he saw and heard the creature yelp with loud volume. He commanded himself over the scientist fellow, "Why would you bring that thing in here? You have nor jurisdiction to brine alien being onto our Colony with a proper decree from your superiors!" he said loudly.

Tris stared dumbfounded at the scientist, claiming that he had brought the creature on board, and that he should be at fault, not the creature. Her attention shitfed to the man that had picked up the thing, before sliding to the one that spoke. So, he was her boss. And...she recieved a few more flashes of him being struck down and beaten, her hands ripping his clothes off. What was she? Did she really attack him? Her boss? "What should we do, boss?" she asked, before watching the scientist.

"That little creature found me. I have been outside by myself," he said apologetically "...listen, I have kept this creature with me and the creature has been harmless, I promise". As he looked at the security crew, he looked into their eyes and hoped to get some sort of forgiveness.
The little began to flicker his eyes, as he flustered his head and saw the tall man pick him up. The tall man smelled good, a scent that reminded of home. He decided to lick the hands of the tall man.

Hayden eyes the small creature, as it licked his hands. He vaguely wondered if the beast should be licking him, if it was passing on some of disease. It seemed ratlike, and...weren't rats on earth disease carriers. "Well, he did confess his crime, though he left the ship without permission, and the usual punishment for an offense such as his would be two months confined to the ship, and two weeks in the brig, right?" He was honest with us, so I'd say the punishment should be halved."

Hayden was right, the assistant biologist did break the rules. Even though he was apologetic about it, the rules had to be enforced, and it was Jet's duty to enforce them. Zahir needed to be punished. He nodded at Hayden, gesturing his agreement with his Internal Affairs colleague.
From his utility belt, he brought out a small tranquilizer gun and shot the creature. Within seconds, the creature slumped to the ground with it's eyes wide shot and body laid motionless. He looked at the biologist right in the eye, "The creature will be placed in the custody of the science department, the creature is now the property of the Hyperion Colony and it's fate will be decided later. You, on the other hand will be serving at least a month in our custody. Your civil disobedience will be on your record and you will not be able to venture outside of the colony until we consult the Commander about this situation. Trust me, you got off easily."
"Tris, will you arrest this individual. Hayden, please collect this rodent and bring it to the science department where he will be taken care of."
