A low, tense hum fills the med-lab. Perceptor stands rigid, his hands uncharacteristically still—a breach in his usual state of kinetic focus. The Lost Light's vibrations read as nominal, yet his optics cycle through rapid, restless scans, sweeping over inert consoles for flaws that stubbornly refuse to materialize. He adjusts a scanner already in perfect calibration. Beyond the viewport, stars smear into luminous trails as the ship carries its wounded crew deeper into the void. Perceptor paces a tight circle once, twice, his processor racing through cascading worst-case scenarios. He straightens his posture, forcing his spiraling thoughts into a grid of orderly data. Vigilance is his burden to carry. It is better to be anxious than to be wrong.
