Marko heard the Captain over the communicator, but he did not seem to sound like his normal self. There was some unusual softness in his tone ans well as uncertainty. None the less Marko had his orders to follow, and after a brief scan of the control panel he pulled down a corded radio and spoke over the engine room PA. "Steven, the captain has summoned me. Don't let anything fall apart without me." There was a brief pause as Steven made his was to a radio panel to respond. "I wouldn't have anyone to blame if I did. Go ahead I'll keep her running." With that Marko walked out of the control room down a set of bulkheads and corridors to the cabinet room where he was to meet the others.
