Once Mac and Dan arrive, the three of them will enter the lab, guns at the ready, and search for the alien as a group.

((I'm not sure if I should progress on the fact that Mac is likely to post acceptance of following your post, squad orders?))

((If he's online you could PM him. If not, I guess just go ahead. Since we arent doing turns, there will sometimes be times when characters have to be auto'd by the GM for the story to progress.))

((Alright, i've made a poll about it on the OOC thread. Go ahead PlayerGamer, you've got control of all three soldiers (that is, if you want to include the one running around in a blanket).))

Inside his dark bedroom, Muslim stows his white kit under his bed. He then proceeds to dress into his Deimos ship uniform. Now properly dressed with medical go bag in tow, leaves his quarters, enters the corridor, and stands outside of the Science Lab awaiting orders.

((This post is mainly to get dressed and for things to make more sense if someone got hurt.))

In this commotion I forgot to send Schults assistance. Can I get anyone with engineering knowledge to suit up and head to the engine room.

The captain, then Joined Doctor Patel and the others by the science lab. Before becoming a ship captain he had earned a degree in alien biology, and although its been a while, he still remembers some useful information.

Mac and Dan will follow Emma into the lab, weapons at the ready, and look for the lifeform.

Anyway, captain, I have some proposals as how to reduce our power consumption to live within the limited means we currently posses, or at the least extend the time we have.

Now, we can't really touch the pods without killing of the inhabitants, but we can lower the lifesupport's power requirements. We can drop the pressure to 1/3 of current levels, and increase the oxygen percentage to 100% to compensate. Doing that should reduce the strain on the lifesupport system.

((On a side note, did Taricus just open the door between the pressurized ship internals and the depressurized Engine room?))

Mac and Dan will follow Emma into the lab, weapons at the ready, and look for the lifeform.

On entering the lab, it's a relatively open space. Everything is set about the walls and the most obscuring thing in the room is a hip-high island of worksurfaces in the middle of the room. The trio approach warily.

HELGA: Sixteen meters.

HELGA: Twelve meters.

HELGA: Nine meters.

Whatever this thing was, it was right in front of them, in plain sight, out of sight.

Emma: Helga - turn on the lights.

The room lit up with flickering, ancient lights. "There it is!" shouts Mac. On focussing, a bodyless shape with an appearance only measurable to what could be considered a mirage shifted sickeningly, joints snapping into and out of place in sharp, precise movements. As the lights shed upon the creature, a sound neither a shriek or a scream or a moan or a grunt came forth, but of an otherwordly monsterous noise, neither a roar or a whisper but of, to be sure, pure horror. The mirage faultered and revealed then replaced and hid, patches here and there phasing in and out, giving a prediction of what the form may be.
The skin was black as charcoal and looked like a carapace of obsidian. Its many bladed limbs were hard and sharp, thin and to a point with an enlarged back that hooded its miniscule, tentacled head of many eyes. The mirage shifted once again, quickly skittering around the room to the nearest point of darkness, its mirage still failing and recuperating, presumably on a round-about route for the corridor.

((The corridor has an airlock, I mistakenly presumed it was on the engine room entrance, so I thought he was also depressurized. I'm going to presume he grabbed onto something so as not to be blown out of the cannon, so to speak.))

The captain looking in from the hallway What is that thing?


(In reguards to power saving: depending on the time estimate of engine repairs verses amount of power and air we have left, we may do that, but if we are going to get enough power from the engine to run everything, then there's no point in taking the risk. I'll address this IC after this alien is sorted out. )

Ashton tries to access the comms system, and fishes under her cot for her flashlight. It wouldn't work, though...she opens up the battery pack, and finds it full of battery acid.

"Well, shit. Alright, I'm comin' to help. Everything seem fixable, I take it?"

The engineer heads into engineering and grabs her tools as well as the engineering equipment needed for repairs in vacuum. Then she heads over to the cargo bay and starts carrying over material boxes. If Conrad helps, they could probably get that bit done fairly quickly, at least.

((Sorry, gonna be at the beach for a week and won't have a lot of time to post)) What the hell was that? We need to get the lights on, now!

[Playergamer]

Emma stares at the alien, disgusted, and, once he sees it's a mirage, turns to the two soldiers next to her.

"Mac, cover the left. Dan, cover the right." She then watches the area directly in front of the door, waiting for the real ladies to appear.

((Uh, the mirage isn't the real alien, right?))

((Uh, the mirage isn't the real alien, right?))

((Think Chameleon skin.))

((Its 1 alien with a cloaking device))

I say we seal it in this room and turn off life support specifically in that room
