Roy was about to say something but when he looked up Malory was already gone, like a ghost. He thought for a moment that the security officer hadn't even been there and that he was just going crazy from too many sleepless hours. Still he figured he should've investigated whatever was going on, so he quickly finished his salad, folded up his book and rose out of his seat, right as the alien crewman Vas walked into the mess hall, not saying a word to the doctor.

He quietly exited the room and briefly wandered the hallways before he turned towards the server room after hearing voices, including Malory's. Roy entered the room right in the midst of Malory muttering something about seeing him, his complexion a mess, he clearly looked to be in intense pain as well.

"What the hell happened to you? Did you walk into a wall or something?" He asked the man, one eyebrow raised in curiosity.
