Doctor's Log

Oh my god. It's real….Why does MY infirmary have to be haunted by a bloody ghost?!
It came in around midnight. D.C., who'd been sleeping with me, woke me up when he started hissing. His fur stood straight on end. The ghost was roaming around the room when Beach Head turned a huge flashlight on it and yelled at Gung Ho to go get it. That freaked me out. Gung Ho yelled back at him to go get the damn thing himself. D.C. gave a really loud hiss (It was more of a growl I think, but I didn't know little cats could growl like that.) and tried to attack the ghost when it suddenly disappeared.
Amazingly, Dusty slept through it all. His response when I woke him up was "Dammit, how come I'm the only guy who never sees it?!"
I thought that was the end of it for the night until Tripwire came hurdling into the room while yelling that he'd seen it. It had been utter silence, then all of a sudden that madman had come crashing (literally) into the room while yelling at the top of his lungs. I thought I was going to have a heart attack and die. Even the other three jumped when he came running in. They chewed him out for that big time.
Apparently after it left us, the ghost had visited other areas of the PIT last night. Jinx, Stalker, Duke, and a few others saw it too. There's bullet holes in one of the hallways from where Mercer tried to shoot it. Damn Ex-Viper, good thing he didn't hit anyone. Of course the sound of gunfire woke quite a few people up. Someone else, I don't know who, pulled the alarms after seeing the ghost and hearing the gunfire. Let's just say that General Hawk wasn't a happy camper this morning.
Okay, that's an understatement. The Tomahawk was in a very foul mood, as we unfortunately found out later. Along with the mess hall being trashed, the bullet holes, the alarms, women's lingerie and underwear in the control room (Don't ask, I have no idea.), Hawk's office had also become a disaster area during the night. His office files were lying around the room, his computer was on, and his prized autographed Babe Ruth baseball was missing. Hawk won't believe any of us when we tell him it was the ghost.
General Hawk now has the whole PIT on lockdown until the culprit or culprits are found and brought to justice. The only problem is, how do you catch a ghost? Especially when your commanding officer, who happens to be a very scary man, is convinced that everyone else is insane and that there is no ghost? Everyone is on probation courtesy of the Tomahawk.
As you can imagine, everyone here is in fear of his or her life.
