Day 1

We've been sealed down here for more than twenty four hours now, and I have decided we try break through the ventilation hatches, go through reactor cooling and in the crew's quarters. With a bit of luck, not having the ship's main power back on, we won't freeze to death on the way to there. Its not my brightest decision but we have no choice. Maybe its due the false sense of security that I'm feeling, but my instinct of self-preservation pulls me to stay here. I don't want to risk it either way, if a rescue party hasn't arrived in a twenty four hour period then it is very likely that it won't arrive any time soon, especially if Major is the case....Uh and that headache is reaching extreme levels.


Hill pulls an empty crate of light arms, sits on it and lights a cig "....At least life support's working fine and given its minimal power requirements, it'll last long enough, but what I'm afraid of is the ship's shielding which is supposed to be down due the reactor's death, I'm actually wondering how haven't we frozen to death already?"

"Ya won't have to worry about that anyways as we're goin to go thru the cooling, hope I don't get sick of cold" says Redwood while trying to unseal a hatch with a screwdriver and a pocket knife.

While looking worried and with lack of coordination due to headaches, William pulls out a device and projects a hologram of an Osiris' superstructure "Redwood, you opened the bastard already?" Shortly Neil cracks the hatch's cover, pulls it and holds it in his hands while staring at Hill "Here ya go, take that, maybe ya cud smash a monkey's head with it."

William throws an annoyed look at them "Cut the chatter and stay focused, now here we are...." He points at the hologram showing deck four's structure "....in order to get to the cooling, we would have to go all the way down through the ventilation, passing the storage area which is probably also sealed, maybe we could try do something about that when we get there and finally have our hands on some useful stuff."

"That's very unlikely...." Hill passes the cig to Neil "....as the ship is in a total lockdown, that's an usual safety procedure considering what we have to deal with, unfortunately there's no way for us to unseal a secured door unless we have access to ship's systems which is a long way from here."

"You don't say?" Neil takes a look inside the hatch and hits his head in the celling after an explosion quakes the whole section of the ship "Argh.... Wat da hell was that?" he stands up while throwing his cig on the floor

Kovalsky steps on it and looks at William "I think the threesome might be in trouble."

William takes the hologram off "Nah they're fine, it seems like the explosion came from the lower levels, I just hope it hasn't damaged the ventilation system upwards or we may have problems."

Kovalsky sits on the floor and stares at one of the doors "Whats taking them so long?" steps are heard from outside the room in the corridor and three marines enter the room "Took you long enough, I see you have managed to recover some stuff." he quickly stands up with his hands in his pockets

"That's all we could find, the mess hall is also locked down so we have no supplies for now." Said one of the marines while handling light arms to the officers "This would do for now." said Kovalsky while grabbing stuff

"Wonder where Miller is" William checked his holster and proceeded to the hatch "Last I saw him was when we were running down to deck two, he was shouting at something." says Hill

"Alright guys, have in mind that there are about eight hundred people on board and most of them are presumed infested, as ammunition is low, save your shots and shoot only when the job is sure. Let's move on now." William crouched at the hatch and entered the vent

All nod "My "jobs" are always trustworthy, so ya have nothin to worry about. Heh." said Neil while everybody slowly got through the hatch
