Chapter 1: Insomnia
David walked down the service corridor in engineering.
Another sleepless night he thought to himself.
He had already been to infirmary but all they did was given him some sleeping pills and sent him on his way. It was so crowded with people that unless you were dying all you would get were pills and a swift kick out the door. Everyone on this damned ship was having trouble some had even gone insane.
"Damn it"
He could have sworn that he had seen something.
It's that damned marker it's fucking with our heads.
He walked to the door to enter the main section of engineering; he hit open and waited as the computer checked his RIG's ID. The door beeped and it opened unleashing the putrid smell of burnt flesh.
He watched as workers burned away the weird fleshy thing that was spreading like a weed. The foul air clouded his lungs sending him into a coughing fit. He made his way into the lift and headed up to the chief engineer's office. When he got there he found a person that he did not recognize sitting there.
"Can I help you?" the person asked
"Yes where is the chief engineer?" David replied
"You're talking to the acting chief engineer"
"Acting?"
"Yes the chief engineer died in a work related accident"
"I see"
That's when it all went to Hell or maybe Hell happened before the Ishimura even arrived
