Keel: "Lieutenant Taylor? Gads, I can't believe you're still alive!"
Lt. Taylor: "I could say the same thing about you, Keel."
Keel hands me my shoe and smirks.
Keel: "Good shot, miss."
I give him a goofy smile as I slip my shoe back on. "Thanks."
Jacobe and the rest of the survivors enter the Security room. Keel is taken aback by the number of people in front of him.
Keel: "Damn, didn't know there were this many people left! Maybe there is hope..."
Jacobe files through the survivors and stands in front of Keel.
Keel: "Lieutenant Commander! Sir!"
Keel salutes, but Jacobe puts his hand up.
Lt. Cmdr. Jacobe: "At ease, Keel. I'm not concerned about pulling rank at this point. I just need to know what happened here."
Keel relaxes his stance as we gather around Keel, curious as to why the security deck is a mess.
Keel: "Yessir. So as you're probably aware, a great deal of the ships's crew started... mutating."
A heavy air seems to settle around us as we suddenly remember the situation we are trapped in.
Keel: "Many of the second shift security members gathered here to arm themselves and discuss what to do next. It was pretty fucked, a ton demanded to hightail it out of here and call for help, but a few wanted to stay and look for survivors. Alisa, Tristan, Marco, Helen, and Chakir voted to stay and look for survivors while the rest of us evac'd and called for help. They armed themselves and departed, so the remaining personnel, myself included, prepared to head to the shuttlecraft. But before that happened, we... heard whispers. It's hard to describe, kind of like..."
Keel starts to turn pale.
Keel: "...like someone poking the inside of your brain. I dunno. We all became scared as hell, some guys claimed they saw monsters out of the corner of their eye. But then that THING just..."
Keel trails off as his gaze wanders towards the Waste Management door. Visible beads of sweat form on his forehead.
Lt. Cmdr. Jacobe: "Keel?"
Keel looks back towards us.
Keel: "We need to get the hell out of here. Some kind of... thing might still be in the Waste Management area!"
