(Darkest Night has a prototype of the Storage shrinking tech... Although.. It is.. nearly useless at the moment.)

...he looked from the random people and the soldier back and forth...
"...huh...well, yeah, I guess I am..."
...the soldier took a second look at him, he looked just like an ordinary human, wearing a grubby, old labcoat, even if he behaved kinda weird...

May I guide you to the TATC sector?

...he seemed to think for a moment then he answered...
"I guess that might be better, yeah."

The guard takes him to some kind of train system within the station. After a few short minutes of travel they arrive at the TATC sector, which is made up of a 3 story cylinder sticking out of the stations hull. At its center lies a large circular garden with a glass dome as a roof. On all 3 stories around the garden are the offices and working space, while the outer areas are made up of recreational areas and the suits.

You would be a great asset to our cause. your labs and quarters will be ready shortly. Who will be your representative?

...the man looks at the garden and then walks towards the suites...
"Eh, thanks man."
...he apparently didn´t have any luggage with him nor anything else worth noting apart of his clothes, the doors closed behind him without him saying anything else...

"We have selected Rusk Nakun as our representative, he is a nominated scientist and doctor.
Thank you for arranging quarters for us, we gladly will move in."

Catplayz

Very well.

...a few days passed after the man disappeared in the TATC sector and nobody saw him since then, at the fourth day you start getting weird energy readings from the garden area in the TATC sector...

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...the energy readings grew stronger for about three days at which point they suddenly dropped to minimal levels and stabilized there...
...a few hours later the man left the TATC sector and started heading towards the hangar...

Catplayz

Drakador_Chaos
An engineer approaches the man.
Excuse me sir, we have recently detected strange energy readings from your sector. Is everything alright?

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...the man seemed to look...interested?
"Oh so your scanners did pick them up after all? Well, then everything works as expected I guess..."
...he walks past the engineer and keeps moving...

Catplayz

Drakador_Chaos
The engineer tries to follow him, almost falling over a small service droid.
Yes, they did. May I ask what caused this irregularity?

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...the man frowned, he seemed rather surprised...
"You didn´t make any visual scans or looked into the garden? Interesting...well uh...I was bored I guess? So I redecorated the garden area..."

Catplayz

Drakador_Chaos
We do not perform any visual scans unless authorized by the inhabitants of the area, because we respect the privacy of our guests. Could you define "redecorated" ?

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
"...you don´t? Well now that´s nice..." ...he stopped for a moment seemingly trying to remember what the question was...
"...oh...yeah...you know, redecorated... kicked some stones around... plucked some flowers... constructed a small sentient Type 3.7 Aegis planetary shield that feeds of biomatter...hmm..." ...apparently he remembered he was about to head to the hangar and started walking again...
