Hail the Conquering Heroes

Things can happen without Stacy knowing, that much is apparent now. The damage to her sensors is significant. But the fighting clued her in.

After it's all over, after those captured have been rescued, after the injured have been tended to, only the nest is left, and Stacy takes care of it.

||Infestation of Cluster 42, Level 4, Sector 7, Sublevel 12, Zone 37 has been detected. Triggering internal defenses. Decontamination commencing.||

There is a pause.

||Decontamination complete.||

Simple as that, once she knows the problem was there. Her internal sensors are damaged, especially in the city, and so are some of the systems monitoring them. You have to know what's broken to know to fix it.

Such a simple thing and it only took one man dying to make it happen. (His body is gone, by the way, ripped to shreds and eaten. There's not even a spot of blood on the floor. That's the bugs' doing. The bugs' bodies are gone too--that's Stacy's doing).

||Any injured personnel that still have not received medical attention, report to the nearest lift, and you will be transported to the MedBay. Any uninjured personnel, report to the Living Area, to the restroom facilities to undergo decontamination of xenobiological material. Then report to the Obs Deck to meet your new crew-mates.||

Said crew-mates--and the Doctor, who'd skipped out and miraculously ducked and weaved his way to the lift when he'd realized the Master was there--are there and waiting, and just a tad confused.

"No it's a spaceship," This was voiced, almost growled from an man in his early forties standing nearby. But then Nathan's voice has a naturally gravelly tone to it. Though the voice and face might sound familiar depending on when and if West happened to be watching TV.

"As you just saw. None of us know how far Earth is if you're from there."

The man seems vaguely familiar, but West lives -- or lived, anyway -- in California, a continent away from Nathan's constituency. He does watch the news, but he's not familiar enough with Nathan's face to immediately place it.

"...so I was guessing a little outside of the postcode," he manages weakly.

"Extremely," He remarked, and checked the gun over again before stowing it in a holster pocket that appeared on the suit. Huh, that's useful.

"Take it you just woke up? Didn't run into the bugs at all did you?"

West's eyes follow the gun on its journey into the newborn holster, though he's got rather too much nervousness already for a man carrying a weapon to really increase the sum total of it.

"I haven't seen any. The-- woman mentioned people fighting roaches." For a second he was about to say 'voice' instead of 'woman', but that's a little more crazy than he's willing to admit to all in one sitting.

"Woman? You mean Cybil? Or Stacey? Because Stacey's not human at all."

Nathan added, "And yeah, giant ugly roaches. Grabbed some people earlier too but got them back. Only one casualty. Better watch yourself around here. Especially in the city levels." He then glanced upward for a moment just to make sure. Looked all right up here.
