The big-arse hole in the transport's hull looked like a wound on the body of a dead whale. The ship was dying and its engines fell silent forever thanks to some accurate hits. Shots went through the armored plating like it was made of butter and hit the reactor chamber and other inner structure units and the ship was now quietly drifting through the space. Corridors already were not lit nor supplied by the oxygen. Oxygen supply system was shut down and the inner atmosphere was winded out into the open space. Two figures in spacesuits were slowly moving through the dead ship.

"The information was not correct, we must continue the search somewhere elsewhere. Why are we keep searching this ship? What we are looking for is not here."

"I find it interesting. We do not often get the opportunity to take prisoners. Thanks to you there is probably none left again. We need information, remember? Scroll is not here. But, maybe, we'll find something more interesting, I don't want the whole operation to be carried out in vain." - A woman's voice answered him.

"And what do you want to find in these ruins? Everyone are probably dead." - Said the first figure with a man's voice while moving some floating corpse off from their way.

"We need to try to find something useful. This transport took off a bit ahead of schedule so it's express flight. There must be something explaining why they were in a hurry. Our contact though it must be connected with the object of our interest. But apparently not, it's something else. We have to search the ship before leaving."

"Well, let's just move faster. I don't want to be involved into another fight. They could manage to send a distress signal."

Soon enough they reached the door marked as "Medical Bay" with 2 dead bodies in the KNF uniform floating next to it. Those were apparently killed by the pressure drop. The door was locked and it took a couple of shots from the blaster to tear it off its hinges.

"Yeah, and that's probably our prize. Guessing it off the dead guards here."

"Let's see if this "someone" you're talking about is not yet dead"

They slept in and stopped near the medical capsule.

"Hm, that's a woman"

"Definitely a woman, sensors says that she is still alive. Lucky bitch."

"And what shall we do, I can't recognize her, she's not even Kusarian. But apparently the transport left early because of her. 20 minutes ago she was the closest to death person aboard and now she's the most distant one. How do you like the irony? Let's kill her now and go - there is nothing interesting."

"No, wait. Let's take her with us. At least something. She may know something.. or..
we'll use her."

"Do you really think it's a great idea? We need hosts but it's not wise to collect all the half-dead rubbish, you know."

"Stop arguing and push the capsule to the exit. We're leaving, there is no room even for us inside this dead ship."
