Episode 5: Sudden appearances
Captain James Chapell rushed through the corridors to the transporter room. McShy knelt beside the unconscious communications officer Eho.
"What happened?"
"Dammit, James, I'm a doctor, not an expositionist!"
"I just know she was on shore leave, then signalled for emergency collection."
Eho opened her eyes. "Oh, captain, it was horrible. It was a Remusan..."
"Yes?"
"I was just walking down the street, he walked towards me, then stopped and..."
McShy patted her hand. "And then what?"
"He exposed himself to me!"
"That's against the covenant!" McShy said bitterly.
Chapell swore. "When will the Remusans stop decloaking in neutral territory?"
