Roll 10"Very well then. Aldarist, you are free to go. Pick up another pressure suit from the utility storage nearby and get to the airlock again. I think Jacob is heading there with some fire support.""You mean the security detatchment?""No, something else. This is your first time on a Phoenix Engineering vessel, correct?"Aldarist shrugged and went off. Serris shut the door and turned to his desk. He picked up the vial of red globules and held it up against the light. They glimmered and twinkled... seeming like they were moving, somehow. He decided to head to the lab and investigate what this substance was.

Gideon hesitated to pick up the corpse, looking over it for any of the pink stuff. he heard the announcement. It was corrosive... yet the soldier seemed to be breathing it in.
He started dragging the body around on the floor with him.
...
Maximilian readied his headset.
"Hello, hello? This is Max. We've dispatched a group of hostiles but we've detected more of them on the floor above us. We are bringing a body back so that we can identify armor, weapons, and DNA. The hostiles might be roaming, requesting a feed to the cameras so that we know where and what they are."The captain's voice responded through the headset:
"Hold on, we're routing it through. The other security personnel are nowhere to be found, so I'm sending a crewman to the station to make the transmission."Gideon started crafting an effect in order to slow down the people above them long enough to get away.

Relativity BubbleGideon set his bubble on the floor above himself. He felt the vibrations from the walking lower in frequency... it seemed to be working. (retcon: no sound in this area, so Max determined the location via feeling vibrations with his feet)
The two rushed away and headed to the airlock. There they met up with Aldarist and...
"What's up.""Jacob, is that you?"Jacob was wearing a MASS armored suit, which obscured most of his body with equipment mounts and sensors.

"Just... fascinating," Serris murmered to himself, twisting the knob on his microscope to get a better focus on the sample. The substance was not a chemical, but rather a mass of bacteria-like organisms which grew to massive sizes, and quickly, too. They appeared to feed off of air movement as moving the sample around increased their activity. The sample wasn't reproducing in the lab, however, so he couldn't duplicate it and send it to a more sophisticated department.
The mass consumed organic materials as well as some synthetic materials such as latex. He was careful not to touch the sample again as it secreted some kind of adhesive that made it cling to glove materials.
He heard a knocking sound behind him. He opened the door to find Aldarist and Max, as well as Gideon, who had a headache, and someone in a large power suit. Behind Gideon was a dead body with a ruptured suit of armor and contorted arms.
"This is the one that had the pink substance correct?""He was breathing it, sir."Max's headset started buzzing.
