A Survivors Spirit

Helping support his sisters weight, Cal was lost in this thoughts, something about the situation just not feeling right to him. Shaking his head as if to clear his mind, he helped the stranger get Ash to the medbay as fast as possible. He could feel her body tense with each step she took, even with their help in moving her. Thinking back to the crash, he couldn't help but remember shouting instructions at her, all of which had not been followed, seemingly unheard.

They were nearing the medbay now, and the silence of the ship weighed down heavily on them. There should of been more noises, more activity for a ship this size, even if it was only a skeleton crew. As it was, it didn't feel like there were few people on-board, it felt... oppressively empty. The sound of their steps echoing down the hall as they approached the door to the medbay, he felt a strange chill run down his spine as he looked at the door. Despite knowing his sisters survival depended on them getting inside, he suddenly knew it was a bad idea.

"Ash... Something feels wrong about this. I... I don't think we should go in there. Cal says as he eyes the LSF agent carefully. The silence was more than oppressive now, the chill that had run down his spine long passed, yet the hair on his neck was standing, and he had that primal feeling of being watched. Slowly turning to look up and down the corridor, he missed the medbay door opening, although the sound of movement quickly drew his attention back.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself, taking a step forward into the room before stopping. If things had felt wrong outside in the corridor, here he could practically smell the wrongness permeating the air. Trying to backpedal out of the room he was stopped by the hand of the LSF agent who effortlessly pushed the weakened siblings inside, before the door slid closed.

Through the closed door, they could hear the LSF agent speak, loud enough that it almost seemed to be coming from their minds. "I'd advise you to get comfortable. There is much we have to discuss. His sixth sense still warning him of danger, Cal desperately looked for a way out the medbay and finding none, began to hammer on the door, willing it to budge. "Cal, that's not helping." Ashley said, her hand clasped to her side, barely holding on through the pain.
