Things Discovered

Delithita

Coming up into ops was a slight workout for the recovering ghost. When she hit the door she was already breathing heavy. Unhappy about her lack of stamina she plopped into the first chair she could find. Closing her eyes she worked on bringing her breathing under control.

"Still tired?" Maria had recovered shortly after Del had. The two ladies seemed to share a star-crossed fate. Nodding she opened her eyes and regarded Maria. Maria sat on the opposite end of ops, and leaned somewhat heavily on the console over there. "Do not feel bad. I am too." Del made a face and stood and walked over to Maria.

"Just think what you would feel like on Earth." Maria chuckled as Del stuck her tongue out.

"I have something to show you. Look." Tapping a few keys the image on the main console blanked out, and then showed a field, a few construction HERCs, and a tank or two scurried about, a few areas of dirt had been dug up. Looking uncertain Del raised an eyebrow. A few more keys were pressed and the image zoomed out. Del's face went white. The color just flushed out. It all made sense now. The apparitions, the deaths. It all made sense now.

Slowly, anger filled in over the shock.
