Over the course of her time arriving to the Mary Rose, Stardust, worked on the account books. While Reessem Nubohn, did the grunt work of helping the captain and crew with whatever they might need during those time before the sickness took hold. The Caitian, enjoyed her work. Which was a far better, then working for the Federation. Anyone who was anyone could always came and visit. She didn't mind stopping and chatting with whomever them. Stardust knew this would give her mind a break from crunching numbers for the Mary Rose.

As time drew forward, things started to change. Starting with a find in the deep recess of the ship. The former owner, the Collector, might have left something behind. In the form of a strange dust the effected the crew. But, Stardust wasn't there. She was making sure and fixing the errors in the books. Not soon after the crew was experience, what was referred to as a simple cold, Stardust, just wore an mask around people.. When they came and visited.

Yet, as those outside her cabin, busy themselves with their various concerns of life, things truly began to change for the caitian accountant. Day after day, the light flickered on and off, but the computer terminal continued to work. Stardust, just shook her head and continued onward with her work. Until one day, the everything in her cabin went off. She was lucky to have saved her file, the night before. She still cursed aloud, that the work she have been working on for a few hours was lost. Not only the lights were out, but the gravity plate as well.

She growled tried to make her way to the door. She tried to find the intercom and get an engineer to her room. But, the door open to the corridor outside. Some looked in to see a naked cait, who wore an see threw sun rose. Which is a common dress that caits wear, floating in her room. Stardust, if she was able to blush at this time, she would have out of embarrassment. She pressed the button again and closed the door. While at the same time, the lights came back on, plus the gravity.

"ACK!" Star stated as she fell and hit the floor with a thud.

The caitian cursed as she pushed herself up onto her feet. She shook her head to get rid of the stars. Her head hurt, plus her body, hurt.The sudden pull of gravity on her, force her to hit the carpet deck plate hard. Once she found her focus, Stardust, got dress. She wobbled a little as she exited out her cabin. She was going to go and crew the ears off any engineers about their little joke on her, her lost of work, and anything else. But, that would wait for later, when she felt better and was able to find out more information. Until then, she would make her way to medical ward and see Dr. Mott, plus find out if she can do to help. Despite that she has no medical training.
