Braden showed up early with a cart full of cleaning supplies. he moved into the lab area and began fillin garbage bags with debris. He wore low-level protective clothing and a face mask over his nose. He propped up a PADD to take air quality readings as he worked as well. He was over an hour early so did not expect anyone else for a while. he wanted it like that, so he had some time to get into the task without the distraction of other people. He began in the first lab, clearing debris then scrubbing down the room to be certain it had no old residues.

It wasn't long after 08:50 that the chatter of two females voices could be heard. "So you are telling me the man actually went back to a shop into a cellar to get it?" Dixoho's voice could be heard asking as another female voice laughed brightly.

"Yes. Foolish to say the least." The giggling was revealed to belong to the blonde engineer. "Hey Federation." Selina greeted carrying a tray laden with coffee and muffins.

Braden frowned "you keep calling me Federation I am going to start calling you 'the Pot'." He pointed to the wall with the scribbling smiling at her. "Thanks for coming Dix, when your done eating the wall I asked you to check out is over there." Braden went back to work in the lab room he had been in, he began checking some equipment not broken so he did not add anything into the air where the others were eating.

"I think I prefer Blondie." The Engineer commented on untying the arms of her flight suit she had tied around her bump and tugged it on covering herself up even as she tried to eat one of the muffins. "You having some?" She wondered to Braden as Dixoho went to the wall.

"No thank you, I had breakfast a while ago. I do appreciate you offering though, maybe another time." Braden continued working as he spoke, "I would suggest caution while eating in here though as Blondie said this was used as a hospital ship. No telling what sort of spores might be floating around in here." He glanced at Selina, "Blondie it is then till you call me 'Federation' again."

Selina raised an eyebrow at him but said nothing in relation to his warning. It was sweet but unneeded, she didn't think anything like that would be alive after so long of being in active. "I'll try and hook this area up to the filters." Selina mused looking around to see if it was even connected to the system.

Braden continued his research among the old equipment, salvaging what could be repaired and junking the rest to be recycled. As he worked he thought about the wall wondering if it had any real information? "Say Dix when you go read the wall call me over, would you. I would like to hear you read it the first time."

"It's all about medical stuff," Dixoho said looking over her shoulder at him. "It is really nothing that makes sense. I can gather it is from 2305 ish. They must have used this area in the evacuation for mental health patients." She said sadly touching the writing. It was creepy thinking that the people who had written this were already at the worst points in there lives, then they were moved from the station they had been receiving care on and then, in the end, they were evacuated again from the ship from what she had read in the history files when a Romulan Warship had attacked the medical fleet.

Braden looked at her in disbelief, "so you are saying that scribbling was written by a medical person? 2305? I thought this ship went out of Fleet service around 2250? Oh wait that is right I remember someone telling me this ship was mothballed then called back into service for this medical escort duty. Never mind, if it is nothing important we can just scrub it away? Just to be safe though write down what is actually written and attach it to the pictures we took yesterday. That way if something does show up to give it relevance we have it as it was." Another dead end it seemed, it was painfully obvious not much had been left behind to tell the story of what happened here.
