"Yeah that's him." Velocity whispered as she stared at the picture on the datapad that Rung had handed her.
"Pardon?" the orange mech asked with a frown.
"Um… nothing. Nothing important that is." Velocity said with a shrug.
"If I didn't know any better I would have to say that you look like you've seen a ghost." the psychiatrist chuckled with a smile.. one that fade as the femme didn't reply. "Velocity?"
She shook her helm. "It's nothing… I.. I was just curious who he was.. I heard one of the others talking about him and I was just curious what he looked like.." she said as she bit her lip. "However… and not that I believe in such things but… if he was still hanging around haunting the place.. would you have any idea why he would be doing so?"
Rung sighed as he took his lenses off to clean them. "Honestly? I could only surmise that his only reason for such a thing to happen would be that he believe that his purpose on this plane of existence has not been met…" he said as he replace his glasses. "But truthfully Velocity, I can not say whether or not he really still does exist.. One could only hope that he has returned to the matrix…"
"I… I see. Well thank you for your time… I've gotta get back to work."
"Have a good day Velocity." the shrink said as the door closed behind the medic. He sighed as he turned to the corner and looked at the spirit who stood there with a comprehensive look on his faceplates…
"I know that isn't what you wanted to hear. I am sorry that you feel so tethered to your obligations as a medic… but if you must haunt the ship, please do it gently I'd prefer not to have more work added to my payload because everybot thinks they're crazy from seeing you."
