Adam's POV
Our shuttle soon docked at the ISS, as did the Challenger. Meanwhile, I told the others to grab their stuff and head out to the station. From what we could tell, the station just needed some maintenance. Hardly much, but it was better than nothing.
"All right, everyone, begin working on any systems that are in need of maintenance," I said. "Once your done, report to me for instructions." I too got to work.
After hours of doing a normal systems check, I then decided to run a diagnostic just in case. That was when something came up. However, it was small, so I just passed it off as nothing.
Sure enough, one of the Russians checked the cargo hold to make sure the station was fully stocked. That was when we heard a scream.
Grabbing our weapons, we made our way toward the area where the scream came from. We saw nothing but blood. I thought that some sort of presence was on board .
It was a good thing that the gravity was on since we had removed our space suits. Other than that, most of us were in worrying about what or who could of done this.
Most of the Russians started to point fingers at us, thinking that this was an act of terrorism against "Mother Russia."
"Look," I said, "even if we did do it, the body would have been found already. It's not us."
Brittany and the others agreed and we all walked off so we could cool down. We wanted to continue with this mission so we could head back home.
Of course, I figured that the Russians were looking for systems to repair or things to do, so I waved that off and focused on my work for the moment.
Hours later we all heard a scream coming from the cargo hold on the ISS in a panic we all ran as fast as we could and found nothing but a pool of blood "Oh, no." I said looking around .
None, of the Russians knew what was going on and nor did we find the body . But we did keep on alert should something like this happen.
We all went back to doing repairing systems or doing maintenance on other things upon the station .
"Alright, guys break time" I called and we all walked down toward the mess hall. Where we ate in silence though in the back of my head something was bugging me. I, just wasn't sure as to what .
After dinner we all helped clean the dishes and get to our quarters . I , mostly slept alone but reoccurring dreams started to flood my mind .
I , slept through the night peacefully without anyone disturbing me .
Because ,I knew that tomorrow we would have to do some critical work with the thrusters and also doing our first space walk and talk with NASA, to fill them in on what happened .
