There it was, Aegis 7. It looked like a planet had just exploded or something, because there were rocks and things floating around everywhere.

"Looks like they popped the cork already." Isaac announced. So that explains this mess. I looked the other direction and gasped. There was the USG Ishimura, holding up a massive piece of the planet in its gravity tethers. It really was an impressive sight. The huge rock made the Ishimura look tiny. I realized I was on the edge of my seat looking out the window. My seat made a sound as I leaned back. So here we are, about to start life over.

"Is it safe to stay there?" Mike asked.

"There could be a chance of the whole planet going to pieces, but that probably won't happen. That piece of rock isn't going to destroy the whole colony because it was removed." Stross answered.

Daina said, "Are you even kidding me? Doing this to planets will disrupt the balance of the universe!"

"Shut. The. Hell. Up." Isaac said, "I don't have time for your Unitologist bullshit. All I know is I'm stuck for who knows how long with you people, and the last thing you want is me pissed."

"Well then don't be pissed! Sheesh, she was just explaining how she feels about this." Stross said.

"Yeah, smartass, I know. You don't understand my hatred for Unitologists." Isaac said as he trailed off.

I said, "Let's get ready to land, so we can all get settled in here." Everyone exchanged worried glances, but they all agreed it was now or never. "Alright everyone turn on the auto-landing and we will land right in the little colony they got here." I announced.

Once we had all landed, it was time to survey the damage. A couple of the ships had hit some rocks on the way down, but that was the extent of the damage.

After some rummaging through their ships, everyone had found RIGs that would let them go out in a vacuum. We figured once we were actually there we could buy some decent RIGs from a store. Isaac knew how to hack into them, and we could get everything free.

"Alright guys, pray that Aegis 7 hasn't been affected by all this shit." Isaac said, "Everyone get your guns ready just in case Altman doesn't answer our little prayers." He said as he looked at Daina. She gave him a dirty look and flipped him off. He just laughed.

"Ok, on three, we go in. One, two, three!" Isaac said as he opened the first air-lock door. Everyone looked in, but there was nothing. I aimed my plasma cutter down and walked in.

"Guys let's get in here before we all run out of air. Who knows if we will be needing it later." I said as everyone looked around nervously. Stross just stood outside the door and was looking around, mumbling to himself.

"C'mon Stross, we don't have all day here." Mike said.

"I just wanted to get a look around, besides, I did have to wait all day for you to put some clothes on." Stross said back, annoyed. He walked in and the door shut behind him. Once the room had air back in it, we raised our weapons again.

"Ok, same as the last door. One, two, three!" Isaac said as he opened the door. A body which had been leaning on the door suddenly fell in towards us. Daina screamed.

"Oooh, fuck me… The- they've been slaughtered." Isaac stammered. There were bodies everywhere you could see. I was scared out of my mind. This can't be happening. Aegis 7 is nowhere close to Earth, but the infection had spread to both already.

I looked down at the body, and there was an audio log coming out from underneath it. "Hey guys, I found an audio log." I said as I reached down and picked it up. Let's see here… Aha! I thought as I hit play.

At first there was just some static, but then a woman said, "This is Kaliana! The necromorphs have overrun our- Agh!- our whole compound! Get help! Get Military help, and fast! These things can take a lot of damage! They won't go down easy, and they travel through the vents! AAAGH-! Fu-" then it cut off and stopped. I was in complete shock. This can't be happening… I turned around and looked at everyone else. Stross had started to freak out, but Alice was comforting him. Isaac and Mike were just standing in shock, taking in the view of the bloody room. Daina had sat down and was crying.

Suddenly Isaac said, "Well, we can't just stand here and become like all of them," he said as he pointed his gun towards Kaliana and the bodies, "So I say we get moving. Stross, pull yourself together, you're a man for Christ's sake. Oh, and Mike, help Daina up." He started walking and everyone followed him.

I put the audio log down, and walked after them, when suddenly everyone jumped. There were gunshots in the next room…
