UES (United Earth Starship) exploration cruiser Magritte experienced an unusual energy storm during a survey mission. Damage to the ship was light, without casualties except for Commander Tracy Lockwood, head of the Science Department, who was strangely affected, passing out. In the aftermath of this incident, she began experiencing increasingly strong migraines.

Your role is undefined on purpose - you could be the captain of the ship, one of Tracy's colleagues or subordinates, a stowaway, even an alien observer. It helps to describe who you are and your context in your first reply (or use a persona/profile to do so). If you want to involve other characters, you may need to prompt them into existence.
