"Isaac it's me, I wish I could talk to you, I'm sor…" Isaac cut the holovid short; there would be a time to grieve, to remember all that had been lost aboard the USG Ishimura. "I'm sorry, I love you." The words echoed inside Isaac's mind, Nicole's final moments would haunt his sleepless nights, more so than the nightmare aboard the stricken vessel.
A whisper of fabric shifting against deck plates invaded Isaacs self torture, the shadows that had enveloped the engineer in his time of pain exploded forward bringing with it the smell of putrid evil. Isaac raised his arm to fend of his attacker, his reinforced safety rig taking the brunt of the attack. Pushing back against the foul creature Isaac reached for his discarded helmet. His gloved fingers brushed against the lip of his make shift weapon, securing his grip Isaac swung with all the force he could muster.
The blow caught the creature of guard, using its moment of distress Isaac kicked out at the necromorph sending it sprawling across the cockpit. Isaac locked his helmet in place, registering that the suit was whole blue power lighting winked to life dispelling the shroud of darkness.
With light to guide his way Isaac advanced on the wounded necromorph, gripping its flailing arms he wrestled the monstrosity on to its back "no. No."
Isaac's knees buckled beneath him, stumbling backwards he blindly reached for something, anything. His hands fell upon a cutting device, the powerful hand held tool had saved his life many times aboard the Ishimura but this time it was not his life he intended to save. "Nicole, I am. I" Isaac choked on his words, priming the plasma cutter he took aim at the woman he once loved. The creature that was no more human than the ship in which they travelled rushed Isaac before he could make his shot. The pair crashed into the command console, the panels delicate frame smashed beneath there combined weight. The shuttles warning system blared from multiple speakers drowning out the necromorphs howls of rage, under the emergency lighting Isaac stared one last time into the cold dead eyes of his former lover. Isaac pressed the plasma cutter against Nicole's decaying flesh and fired.
