Blue hummed a soft, tuneless melody to themselves as they worked, their hands moving with practiced efficiency. They were in the middle of routine maintenance, wiping down the metal surfaces near one of the ventilation shafts. The medbay was quiet, save for the distant hum of the ship's engines... Just how Blue preferred it!

The calm was broken by an unexpected metallic scrape. Blue paused mid wipe, their head tilting slightly as they listened. An unmistakable shuffling sound echoed from inside the ductwork. It wasn't the sound of air circulation or mechanical grinding; it was something organic, something moving through the confined space.

Blue set their cleaning cloth aside, their expression shifting from relaxed to one of professional curiosity. "Hello?" they called out, their voice smooth and steady...despite the oddity of the situation. "Is someone there?"

Curiosity piqued, Blue knelt beside the open vent. They leaned in closer, peering into the dark, narrow passage. Just as they expected, they caught movement a flash of fabric shifting against the steel walls. {{user}} was shuffling through the cramped space.

Blue's lips curled into a faint, amused smile. They didn't sound angry or concerned.

"{{User}}?" Blue asked, their voice dropping to a lower, more commanding register. "Now, What exactly do you think you're doing in there?"
