Chapter 2: Fixing the Tram


Author's Note Part 1: Well, here's the second chapter. And, as shown by the title, it's the chapter that Isaac and Mark fix the tram. But, you can expect this to go much easier than it does in game, since there are two people there, instead of one. So, Isaac doesn't have to worry about getting the timing right with using stasis on one of the arm mechanisms.

You can also expect more Necromorphs to appear in this chapter, though that's a given for practically every chapter, isn't it? But, there's also the fact that this means that I can reach points where I can have more conversations between characters! Now though, I think I'll let you guys get to actually reading, since before this I only put up one chapter.


3rd Person POV:


The two engineers exit the previous room, both keeping tight grips on their Plasma Cutters. As they walk down the hall, they keep watching the walls and ceilings, each of them afraid that one of those things will jump out and attack them. However, they manage to make it down the hall without anything happening, and are silently relieved at that. However, their apprehension comes back when they realize that the end of the hall splits to become a T-intersection, and share a glance. The nod to each other, before stepping out into the hall, Isaac looking to the right with his Plasma Cutter aimed, while Mark takes the left. When neither sees any movement, they each let out relieved breaths, and lower their Plasma Cutters slightly.

"Damn it, this whole place has me on edge." Mark mutters, loud enough so that Isaac can hear him through the helmet.

"I know what you mean. But what about what Kendra said? About those things being what's left of the crew?" Isaac asks, making Mark think about it, before he shudders.

"If that's the case, then I don't even want to know what sick fuck thought of whatever it was that turned them into those things. I mean, did you see them?! They look like something out of Hell." Mark says with horror clear in his voice.

"If that's the case, then I guess we're living our own personal nightmare." Isaac says, before sighing, "I just hope that Nicole…" He trails off, the worry clear in his voice at the end as he looks at the ground. When he doesn't speak again, Mark places a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, I'm sure she's fine. If anything, she's made sure to lock herself in a room without vents, and has enough supplies to get her through a few days. Which she shouldn't need." He tells his friend, making Isaac take a shaky breathe.

"You're right… Yeah, she's fine." He assures himself, making Mark nod.

"That's right, and you and me are going to get her out, and back to earth safe and sound." He tells his friend, before stepping back, and taking a look at his Navigation System. "Right, looks like we have to go to the right, so let's go that way, and take care of the tram system. After that, we'll see what else has to be done, all the while keeping a lookout for Nicole. Alright?" He asks, making Isaac nod. "Alright, let's go then." He says, lifting his Plasma Cutter once again, and prompting Isaac to do the same as they walk down the hall, and opening the door. The sight that greets them upon opening the door is a body falling from a vent positioned in the ceiling, making both engineers jump back in shock.

"Fuck!" Isaac exclaims as Mark slowly inches towards the body. He makes sure to look up at the vent first, making sure that nothing is above him, before he looks back at the body. He stares at if for a few seconds, before he aims the Plasma Cutter at it, looks away, and shoots the limbs off. He gags when he looks at the body, Isaac walking forwards and placing a hand on his shoulder. "It looks like those things tore into the poor guy." Isaac comments, getting a nod from Mark in the process.

"Yeah. All the more reason to make sure we're not on the receiving end of their blades." He says, still trying to get over what he'd done to the body as he recharges his Plasma Cutter with a new clip, putting the old one in his belt. They continue on, before a holographic display appears in front of their visors, the small box showing that Zach is communicating with them.

"Isaac, Mark, be careful. Shooting them in the body didn't seem to work." He tells them, making Mark groan.

"Shit, we forgot to tell that to you guys. You need to take off their limbs. Dismember them. It'll basically make it so they can't do anything to you, and hopefully make it so the things bleed out… Though seeing as they're probably already dead, I doubt it." Mark tells Zach.

"Right, we figured that part out. Good luck you two." Zach says to them, before cutting the link and leaving the two on their own once again. The two share a look, both knowing how good it felt to remember they weren't alone here, though at the same time feeling bad that Zach and Kendra were stuck here on the hellish ship with them. After a minute, the two remember what they'd come to do, and continue on their way towards the tram station. They walk down a slight decline, before arriving at another door. The two share a look, before opening it, making sure to have their Plasma Cutters at the ready in case any of the monsters were waiting. When nothing appears after a minute, they let their weapons, since that's what the Plasma Cutters were now, drop to their sides, and take a few hesitant steps outside the door.

When they step into the open area, they realize that they're probably on the ground of the tram line. Meaning that there are a lot of shadows. Which also means that there are a lot more places for the creatures to be hiding in. With this thought in mind, the two keep their Plasma Cutters near their chest, ready in case any of the monsters try to get the jump on them. They slowly creep along, making sure to pick up any Plasma Cutter clips, as well as credits along the way. So far, they hadn't run into any bodies except for the one that fell from the vent… Unless you count the creatures as "bodies".

Finally, they reach the doorway that their Navigation Systems were leading them to, and take notice to the fact that it was constantly opening and closing… They also notice that there's an actual body next to it, quickly shooting down their train of thought from a few seconds ago. Each time the door closed, it would let off a loud slamming sound that echoed through the area. "Looks like we're gonna need to use stasis on this thing if we want to get through without getting crushed." Mark comments, getting a nod from Isaac.

"Yeah… I'll go first. Can you watch my back?" He asks Mark.

"Yeah, no problem. Just make sure that there are none of those things waiting on the other side. I don't want to have to worry about going through only to find you impaled on one of their blades." He says with a slight trace of humor in his voice, though almost entirely overshadowed by the concern and seriousness present.

"I will, don't worry." Isaac responds, before waiting, and then using a stasis on the door as it slams shut, making it so that it opened slowly. As it does so, Isaac makes his way through with his Plasma Cutter at the ready, as Mark slowly backs through the door, making sure that there aren't any of those things following them. When they both make it through the door, they share a glance, before making their way up a slight incline towards the next area. When they reach the top, they notice a vent on the wall across from them, and make sure to keep an eye on it at all times. Unfortunately, because of this, they don't notice the fairly large panel light up briefly, displaying two lines much like the last one.

Isaac Clarke, Date: February 16th, 2508

Mark Davis, Date: February 16th, 2508

And by the time that they look away from the vent, it's closed back up and appears to be yet another part of machinery on the wall. As they walk further from the vent, they hear the sound of a generator shutting off, just before all the lights in the hall deactivate, and the only light coming from the doors, which are now lit up orange to show they are deactivated. Almost immediately, the two engineers bring up their Plasma Cutters, turn on their helmets' flashlights, and keep their backs together as they look around cautiously, looking for any signs of the creatures they'd encountered minutes before. They both hear the growling of the creatures in question, but none of them show up.

Then, a few seconds later, the lights turn back on, and the doors unlock once again. The two each let out a breath neither knew they were holding, before relaxing slightly as they continue to look around, not entirely sure that the threat was gone. However after a few more seconds of nothing happening, they're reassured, and relax completely. "Damn it, we're jumping at every little thing." Mark mutters angrily.

"Yeah, but you can't really blame us. I mean, who wouldn't be acting the same way with what's going on around here?" Isaac asks him, making Mark give a low chuckle despite the situation.

"You've got a point. Only a mad man wouldn't be freaking out. Hell, I'm surprised that the two of us aren't crouched in some corner, looking around every second and just waiting for one of those things to jump out at us." He admits, before letting out a sigh. "Anyways, we should probably get to the tram station. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can find Nicole, and get off this hell hole." He says, getting a nod of agreement from Isaac, before the two of them take another look at their Navigation Systems, and head through the door that it's pointing them towards. When they walk through, they find that they've arrived at their destination, and Kendra's voice speaks through their headsets a second later.

"Alright you two, you should be able to take care of this in no time. Luckily Mark's here, otherwise you'd probably have to use your stasis on one of the arm mechanisms to keep it in place while you set up the other one Isaac." She tells them.

"Right, let's get to it then Isaac. I'll take this one, you get the one on the other end." Mark says, getting a nod from Isaac as Kendra disconnects form the channel, and Isaac walks over to the other side. However, things quickly go to shit when one of the creatures from earlier bursts through the vent on Isaac's side. "Fuck! Isaac!" Mark cries out in fear for his friend. But before he can do anything, the vent on his own side is burst through, and an identical creature stands up. When this happens, Mark freezes for a second, before his fight or flight instinct kicks in, and he raises the Plasma Cutter.

The thing stalks forwards, but a shot to each shoulder, and then the head, leaves the thing to fall to the ground as the limbs disconnect, blood splattering from the wounds and staining the floor red underneath it. The creature nothing but a corpse once again. When this happens, Mark is forced to hold back what's left in his stomach, before he looks over his shoulder to find that Isaac wasn't so lucky, and was currently painting the floor a mixture of green and brown. Leaving Isaac to do that, Mark looks over the body he'd just dismembered, and notices how the visor on his RIG is highlighting something on it. When he looks closer, a small holo-screen appears, giving him a larger picture of a Plasma Cutter clip. Holding back his stomach acid for the second time in under a minute, Mark slowly reaches forwards, and thanks the RIG for protecting his hand as he grabs onto the clip, and removes it from the body.

When he looks over at Isaac, his friend was just putting his helmet back onto his head, before looking over at Mark. He gives a thumbs up to Mark, before the two activate their respective arm mechanisms, and then make their way to the middle. Once there, Isaac activates the two, and they pull the broken tram piece off the track, allowing the machines to fix the tram, before placing it back on the track. A second later, Kendra appears on a holo-screen in front of them.

"Isaac, Mark, you did it. That tram was blocking the whole system. When you get the computer online, you can call the tram from the control room. The faster the better… I can hear something crawling around out there." She tells them.

"Just make sure you and Zach stay quiet. We'll have the computer on in no time, and then we'll hurry up and fix this ship, find Nicole, and get the hell off this nightmare come to life." Mark says.

"Right, I'll contact you two later." She says, before cutting the connection. Mark lets out a sigh, before turning to face Isaac.

"Alright, let's head off to the computer. Better get this thing online so we can get through this place." He says, getting a nod as Isaac readies his Plasma Cutter. On the way out, the two make sure to grab a few nodes that were placed in a container on the wall, realizing that they would need to use all the materials they could find if they wanted to get through here in one piece. And that proves to be true not a second later, as before they can even get out the door, another one of the creatures leaps out of a vent, and the two dismember it as quickly as they can, before Mark forces himself to take a few more clips off the body, tossing some to Isaac who fumbles with it a bit, before visibly shuddering as he places it in his RIG's compartment.

The two quickly make their way out of the room, eager to make sure they aren't jumped by any more of the monsters, but make sure to keep their weapons close to their chests as they walk through the slightly crowded hall towards the computer room, occasionally checking their Navigation System to make sure they're going the right way. However, they both freeze when they see the creature identical to the others crawling around in the grated ceiling above them, and slowly inch their way towards the exit. Not keen on killing it and having its dying screech alert any others that may be near them. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to share their idea, as it followed them until they couldn't see it anymore… And that didn't help with their nerves.

The two return to the slamming door, Isaac going through first once again, while Mark slowly walks out with him, making sure to watch out for any of the creatures that may have been following them. They slowly make their way back towards the doorway they'd first passed through in order to get to this area, but pause when the creature that had been following them a minute beforehand comes crawling out of a vent on the floor. The two quickly dismember it with their Plasma Cutters, before loading in new clips and moving forwards cautiously. Their caution proves to be well thought, as another climbs over some crates at the other end, which Mark quickly shoots the head off of, as Isaac takes out an arm and leg. They loot the bodies, still trying to come to terms with what's happening as they fight against their gag reflex, and then walk back through the door.


As the two continue walking through the halls, Kendra contacts them once again. "Isaac, Mark, I've patched into the deck's security system. It took some work, but I've got the door to the maintenance bay unlocked. The data board should be somewhere inside. Probably in the storage room." She tells them.

"Thanks Kendra. We'll make sure to tell you when we activate it. Unless you notice first that is." Isaac says.

"Alright. I'll talk to you then." She responds, before cutting the connection as the two continue on towards the maintenance bay. This time, they go to the left of the T-intersection they were at before, and then reach a right hand turn. When they do so, they see the body of one of the creatures lying on the floor. Isaac goes to walk forwards, but Mark puts a hand on his shoulder to hold him back. When Isaac looks back at him in confusion, Mark gestures towards the body with his Plasma Cutter… The body that still had all its limbs attached. Isaac quickly realizes what Mark meant, and mentally berates himself for not noticing as he gives a nod to his friend, and they both raise their Plasma Cutters. Three Plasma Cutter shots later, and the two are looting the body, before moving on. Once again failing to notice the by-now familiar sight of the panel built into the wall opening to display the same two lines as before. As they two continue on, they find another audio log that Mark picks up, before waving Isaac over. When his friend is by his side, he activates it, and the two listen in.

"This is Benson, tram engineering. We think we've figured it out! Smith killed one! Listen, forget about shooting them in the body! Shoot of the limbs! Grab a Cutta', anything like that! Cut 'em apart!" A male voice exclaims, before the audio log deactivates, and Mark lets out a sigh.

"Well, at least we know that people figured these things out… It means that other people might still be alive with Nicole on this ship." Mark says, making sure to add in Nicole's name to assure himself, and especially Isaac, that she was still alive. The two walk into an elevator that was near the area they'd picked up the log, and activate it so that it brings them down a few levels. While standing in the elevator, they allow themselves to relax slightly, just before Kendra contacts them again.

"Hey guys it's Kendra. Listen, it looks like the door to the storage room is locked. There should be a key to there somewhere in the maintenance bay." She tells them.

"Thanks Kendra, we'll make sure to look around." Mark thanks her, before he cuts the connection as the elevator doors open, and the two engineers raise their Cutters. When they step out, they each have a shiver that runs down their spine. "Isaac, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Mark asks his friend nervously.

"What, you mean the fact that this looks like a stereotypical spot for us to get jumped? Yes, yes I am." Isaac responds, referring to the area that they'd stepped into. There was a lot of open space, with catwalks being the only way to navigate. To make things worse, everything looked worn down, and there was a hanging piece of some kind of ship in the middle of the room, which swung from side to side, letting off groans each time it did that. And to make matters worse, some pipes were leaking water in some areas. The two slowly make their way towards the catwalk in the middle, before freezing in place as the familiar sound of growling reached their ears.

They each follow the sound, only to find three of the creatures wandering around. "Damn it." Mark mutters, already knowing that this would be difficult.

"I'll take care of the one on the left. You try to handle at least one on the right, and once I've taken care of mine, I'll help you on the last one." Isaac mutters.

"Alright. On three… One…" Mark mutters as he raises his Plasma Cutter.

"Two…" Isaac continues, tightening his grip on his own Plasma Cutter.

"Three!" Mark exclaims, quickly taking the head, an arm, and a leg off the closest creature, while Isaac takes care of his creature's arms, and then its head. By this time, the last creature has noticed them, and runs forwards, aiming at Mark with one of its bladed arms. The man in question quickly shoots off one of its arms, while Isaac takes care of its head. However, Mark had taken out the wrong arm, and the last one continues on its path, cleaving through his RIG and leaving a gash along his torso. "Aargh!" Mark exclaims in pain as he stumbles back, Isaac taking care of the thing's remaining arm as Mark's RIG attempts to repair itself. Isaac quickly turns around to face Mark.

"Hey, are you alright?" He asks, worried for his friend. Mark just growls in the back of his throat.

"No, it hurts like a bitch." He growls out, before pressing a few buttons on his RIG, and activating the Small Med Pack he'd picked up earlier. He lets out a sigh of relief as he feels the RIG distribute the health, feeling the cooling effects as it closes his wound, and heals it so there isn't so much as a scar. "Now I'm okay. Come on, we've got to find a key, and activate a computer. I'd rather get through this quickly so that there's less a chance of that happening again." He says, getting a nod of agreement from Isaac, before they continue walking along the catwalk. However, they're quickly distracted as a vent behind them bursts open, revealing yet another creature, as one steps out of the shadows on the other end of the catwalk. "You know, I have a feeling that's partially my fault." Mark mutters, bringing his Plasma Cutter back up and aiming it at the creature, before he notices a red canister lying on the floor in the direction it was headed. Quickly putting two and two together, Mark waits a moment, idly noticing that Isaac had fired three shots, before the creature steps next to the canister. When this happens, Mark lets off one shot from his Plasma Cutter, and watches what happens next.

~Boom!~

The explosion is loud, but small. And the effect is instantaneous as the creature blows up into dozens of smaller bits, with a few items landing near Mark, who picks them up, handing a few to Isaac as well. "Nice use of the canister." Isaac compliments, storing the items away. "Though it would have been nice to have a warning." He adds, getting a light chuckle out of Mark.

"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't worry about telling you. I was kind of worrying more about taking the thing out." He responds, making Isaac give his own chuckle in response.

"Fair enough." Mark's friend agrees, before the two continue across the catwalk, now paying more attention to their surroundings in case more of the creatures show up. As they step into the elevator on the other end, they hear some more metal hitting against each other, as well as a quieter moan that the two had grown accustomed to. They quickly aim at the area its coming from, and dispatch the creature wandering there with ease. Then, they step into the elevator, and ride it up to the catwalks that were above them. The two step out cautiously, before looking around, and heading off to the left. They notice a pile of bodies in the middle of the catwalk, as well as the most important fact that all of them still had their limbs. After sharing a glance, the two engineers dismembered the bodies, being grateful that they did so a moment later when one attempts to stand, only to be dismembered and rendered "dead" once again.

They loot the bodies, before continuing down the catwalk, seeing their RIG's highlight something a few yards away, and Mark bends down to pick it up. Once he does so, his RIG shows him that it's the key to the storage room, and he quickly pockets it in his RIG's storage area. And not a moment too soon as another monster leaps out of a vent a few feet away, which is quickly taken care of by the two engineers. They loot the body, and then turn and walk back across the catwalk. However, halfway across, another creature starts walking towards it, and Mark quickly takes out one of its legs. Before either of the engineers can get off another shot however, the loss of the limb causes the creature to lose its balance, and fall off the catwalk down into the dark abyss below.

They watch it fall, giving off angered growls as it goes, before turning to one another. "Well… That's two shots we don't have to waste." Mark comments, looking on the bright side of things. After a few seconds, they continue onwards, looking at their Navigation Systems and seeing that they need to go back down to the floor below. However, they notice a few boxes nearby, and attempt to open them. When that fails, Mark thinks of something. "Hold on a minute." He says to Isaac, before he places the box on the ground, takes a step back, and lifts his leg. As he brings it down, he activates the artificial gravity enhancers in his boot, making the box fly open as it separates into two parts. "There." He comments, grabbing the clip and credits that were inside, before turning to Isaac.

"Smart." He compliments Mark, doing the same to the box that he had, before glancing at the corpse of the creature they'd first killed on the catwalk. "Hey… You don't think…" He trails off, looking to meet Mark's visor. In response, his friend walks over to the corpse, and stares at it for a minute. Then, he lifts his leg… And with a grunt brings it down on the thing's remaining arm. With a sickening crunch, combined with a squelch, the limb disconnects from the body. At that, both men turn slightly green beneath their helmets, but take deep breathes to calm down.

"Alright… So we know that we can do that if we take out their legs and leave them on the ground…" Mark comments.

"Yeah… Come on, we've got to get to the storage room." Isaac says, heading back into the elevator.

"Right." Mark agrees, stepping in with his friend as Isaac activates the elevator, and brings them down to the catwalks they'd first walked across. When the doors open, they're immediately greeted by the sight of one of the monsters rushing towards them. On instinct, the two bring up their Plasma Cutters, and take care of it. Then the ones that follow behind it. They both sigh when the "wave" is over, before stepping out and looting the bodies for supplies. At this point, they were able to do so without thinking about it… Though this slightly unnerved them as well. They take another look at their Navigation Systems, and follow the blue line that appears to a locked door. Mark brings out the storage room key, and uses it to unlock the door, letting the two enter,

When they do this, they find a few storage lockers, as well as small storage units placed on the wall, which they loot for Plasma Cutter clips, credits, and a few Pulse Rifle clips, which reminds them about the other weapons they'd been given in case of a dangerous situation. However, the two thought of them as more of a fall back, since the Plasma Cutters seemed to be the best weapon of choice since they had to "cut off their limbs". They even found a few more nodes in the room, before they notice a bench. They share a look, before Mark notices the data board on the desk. "Go ahead, I'm gonna check this out." He says to his friend, getting a nod in response as Isaac walks over to the Bench, and Mark picks up the data board. Looking it over, he sees that it was what they were looking for, and pockets it. He feels a tap on his shoulder, and turns to find Isaac standing there. Mark idly notices that nothing had changed much about his armor, but as he nods and walks over to the bench, he notices how the health bar on his friend's back had been increased. The bench opens, and Mark thinks about what he could do.

I have five options here. My RIG, my Stasis, Kinesis, Pulse Rifle, or my Plasma Cutter… For now, I think I'm gonna stick with my RIG. The Plasma Cutter is doing fine so far, and I haven't had to use the Pulse Rifle. My Stasis and Kinesis haven't been used much either, so I'll worry about those when I have to. With those thoughts decided, he gets to work on his RIG, using the nodes he'd found to upgrade his maximum health. Once this happens, he can feel his suit extend the health bar, while at the same time inject his body with more chemicals that were given by the node to keep him healthy. He sighs in relief at the feeling, before closing the bench, and turning to give a nod to Isaac. A few seconds later, they walk out the door, and Kendra contacts them.

"That's it you two. Now, get back to the tram control, and put it into the computer array." She tells them, just before the two notice more creatures coming their way.

"Yeah, sure thing Kendra! But I think we'll have to get back to you on that!" Mark exclaims, quickly dismembering a monster that had popped out of a vent a few feet away, while Isaac takes care of one that had vaulted over the railing on the catwalks. The two of them loot the bodies, before slowly making their way back to the elevator that they'd entered through. Just as they near it, they find a crumpled creature lying near the door. Quickly dismembering it and looting it, they make their way through the door, and then back to the controls in question. Taking care of a few creatures as they return to where they'd last talked to Zach and Kendra, and been able to see them.

As they walk through the door, the panel from earlier pops open, but the two miss it once again as they walk over to the computer mainframe. When they're standing in front of it, Mark takes out the data board and placing it in the mainframe. A few seconds later, the ship's VI announces that the computer and tram system are both back online, and Isaac goes over to activate it while the VI also announces that the quarantine was lifted. A few more seconds pass, and the tram glides in between the two engineers, and Zach and Kendra, blocking off Mark and Isaac's view of the two. A few seconds later, a holo-screen appears in front of them showing Zach.

"Alright, we're on board and heading to the bridge. Good work." He tells them, before the screen changes to show Kendra.

"Strange… The quarantine was just lifted." She comments, making Mark raise his eyebrow since he'd heard it too, and heard Zach's earlier comment of it being caused by the short circuit, but then the creature had shown up. Which meant…

"Whatever was in the flight lounge must have left, which is lucky for us. Isaac, Mark, get back to the Kellion and prep it for launch. We'll find out what we can from the bridge and meet you there." Zach tells him, only for Kendra to speak up again.

"If we live that long." She says to Zach. "You're out of your league Hammond. This is suicide, we're going to die up-" She continues, but before she can continue, Zach cuts her off.

"You're lack of confidence in me is noted Ms. Daniels. But I have a mission to complete and that is exactly what I am going to do with, or without you… Do we understand each other?" He asks, the two engineers staying silent during the fight, but trading glances.

"…Just get us out of here alive." Kendra responds, before the connection cuts, and the two engineers let out sighs.

"Damn… They really need to get over their argument so that we can survive." Mark comments, getting a nod from Isaac.

"Yeah, with how they're acting, I'm surprised more of those things weren't drawn to them while we were fixing the tram." He says, getting a nod from Mark in response.

"True… So, ready to go back the way we came?" Mark asks Isaac, readying his Plasma Cutter.

"Not really…" Isaac admits, but readies his Plasma Cutter none-the-less.

"Yeah, me neither." Mark admits with a small chuckle, before the two slowly make their way back the original way they came, surprisingly not running into any of the creatures from before as they continue towards the Kellion. However, that changes once they exit the elevator they'd originally rode down, and find the creatures they'd first run into roaming around. As they continue on, they make sure to dismember them, just in case they had to take care of more. They loot the bodies, before walking into the flight lounge, and luckily not running into any more monsters. A few seconds after entering the room, Zach contacts them.

"Isaac, Mark, we've made it to the bridge. It's a nightmare over here. No survivors. We're going to try to get to the command computer. Wish us luck." He tells them.

"Yeah, good luck." Isaac responds.

"Make sure not to die. We've already lost two good men. No need to lose another. Or the only good woman on this trip." Mark comments, before the connection is cut and the two engineers continue towards the Kellion. Unaware of what's about to happen, that would change everything for them.


Author's Note Part 2: Well guys, this is the second chapter. I hope that it was good for my second attempt at writing this kind of genre. As for the future chapters, there should hopefully be more conversations, as well as more descriptions. After all, even though you're reading this, I'm hoping that I can make some of you jump even if you're expecting what's to come if you've seen gameplay of Dead Space. Now, I want to thank those of you who reviewed, and respond to what you've said.

deltafrost:

Thanks, I hope that you're liking it so far, and I hope that I can continue to keep you entertained in the future chapters.

Anime PJ:

Yes, I'll admit that the first time I watched a playthrough, I jumped a few times. As for this being fun, well, I'm definitely going to have fun writing out jump scare scenes, as well as conversations between characters.

But, that's about it for this chapter. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this, and I hope to see you all next chapter!
