ERROR LOG CORRUPT -- ERROR LOG CORRUPT

The door was pushed open and another man stepped into the room, holding a rifle to his shoulder. "Drop the pistol now." He shouted, the man aiming the pistol at Austin looked over and saw the armed guard.

"Do anything stupid and Mister Goodman dies."
"Lad, you won't make it off this ship alive if you shoot that man."
"Watch me." The man smiled and turned his head back towards Austin, "Good Night Mister..."

A shot range out, hitting the man in the side of his head, blood splattered on the opposite wall, his corpse collapsed where he was standing. The Guard moved into the room, followed by two more and a nurse. The Nurse quickly moved over to Austin and began checking on him. "Sirs, he's fine."

One of the guards nodded, "Let's get a body bag and clear this body out of here. I want a guard on outside Austin's door. No one is allowed in and out unless they have a medical identification card, or an Armed Forces clearance."

"What's going on?" Austin mumbled, looking over towards the nurse, who pulled a needle out from the IV. His vision started going in and out, shortly everything was dark once more. He heard voices in the distance, "Find out who the hell that guy was, I want a report forwarded to the DIS."

"Aye, Sir."

He stood there in the docking bay staring at a child standing next to his Templar, his vision began to dull. "Hey, kid..it's not safe to be out here." He shouted, beginning to move towards the kid. He suddenly stopped, the kid had disappeared, the hangar he was in, vanished. His Templar was all that remained, yet after a minute passed, that disappeared.

Darkness was all that surrounded him down, the rhythmic pattern of water slowly dripping was heard in the distance, the air itself chilly to the bone. "The hell?" Cautiously he spoke out loud. Taking a few steps forwards and hearing his voice as well as his feet hitting the ground echo.

Upon his last step he stopped and turned around, seeing movement pass him. "Whoever's out there, I suggest you stop playing games." His voice echoing. He took a step back as something charged at him from his front, he stumbled backwards, ultimately falling backwards.

An image of a man appeared, the rest of his face was dark, but Austin could see the smirk, the grin, on the mans face as a pistol was raised...then, everything went silent.
