Chapter 7

Out of complete honestly, it takes a lot of courage to go out of the nice light and enter in what Jolten claims the danger zone. Technically, anywhere there is dark and barely any light is a danger zone. There could be a wall, a pit, or even worse but I didn't want to think anything worse then those things. Scot made sure that I was feeling o.k and safe. Not that I mind being in the dark, but its the thought of knowing that creature could be anywhere.

We soon stop at a door that was unlocked and the first thing Daniel did was open it very slowly and walked in with Jolten to see if the cost was clear. When it was, the rest of us entered the room. Thankfully there was power so that we could see where we are going.

"Why are we stopping?" asked Talor.

Daniel looked at the map on his device and responded "Because if we are rushing things, that would lead to panic and that would bring unwanted attention. The last thing we need is someone or something to come up from behind and attack."

Robert soon found something that was very odd, notes from Marcus. He gathered them and read them to us, though I didn't know what makes notes so important.

'U don't remember the date or time but I do know that I have been here for 4 days in the hive. So far, I haven't been detected by them. It looks like they don't want anything to do with me unless they are using me for bait. My dear wife, my son if I ever return from this. I want you guys to understand that these creatures deserve to be left alone. See you soon.

Love,

Marcus Jonze'

"A death note?" asked Scot

It more sounds like a letter to his family. I soon looked around to see what else we could find. Everything in this room had notes, pictures, and even samples of something. This gave me the solution that this was where Marcus use to study.

"For once in his life does he even clean his mess?" said Talor acting all sarcastically.

I walked up to Scot who was scanning to make sure that nothing is sneaking upon us.

"Something doesn't seem right." said Scot with worry.

"I'll say" was my response.

We soon exited the room but I grabbed one of the flamethrowers that someone had left behind. Thankfully it had some fuel left other wise I wouldn't feel so relax right now. We continued walking, until I started to here some thumping noises in the vents. I quickly turned around and looked up but could see what it was.

"Whats wrong?" asked Knight making sure I was feeling o.k.

"I could have sworn I heard something."

Talor just rolled his eyes and said "Its probably just a rat."

"Rats…in space really?" was my response.

He just looked at me and smiled before saying "You never know. Whats wrong, afraid of the creature?"

"For your information Talor, there is nothing wrong with being afraid cause if you get to relax then something is bound to happen."

As Talor and I started arguing back and forth, we didn't notice that the group had left the three of us. Knight turned around just to stay out of it until a strange shaped shadow appeared on the wall. She turned around and tried to get our attention.

"Guys" she said but we continued bickering.

She tried again "You guys" but still didn't get a response from us.

This time she punch Talor in the back really hard causing him to bend a little.

"What the big…" before he finished she pushed him into the wall behind the crate.

I didn't know what was going on but I soon saw a strange head appearing. A Xenomorph, I quickly hid inside the closet in hope. As it started to walk passed the closet I was hiding, it did really looked like a Xenomorph because of how messed up its body was. But, what else could it be, it can't be anything else.

As it entered the the room and coast was clear, we slowly went out of hiding and went the other direction. We didn't know what just happened but we didn't want to stick around and find out. We continued walking until we see another creature, only this time it looked like a Xenomorph. We quickly hid, but Talor didn't want to hid. He wanted to stand and fight, but soon realized that his gun was in the room that they came out of.

I tried to take a quick glance at the Xenomorph, and I noticed two things that was odd. One, it looks a little bigger then a drone but it didn't have the same rigged pattern on the head. Two, the odd number on its head. I couldn't really make out the number but all I could see was a 4 and thats it.

As I turned back around I noticed that Talor wasn't there.

"Knight" I whispered "were in hell is Talor?"

She look at me and respond "He may went back to get his gun, I hope."

We then heard a loud clucking noise, like something just went up the vent. I took a quick look and saw that the Xeno was gone.

"What should we do?" asked Knight feeling a little scared.

"We find Talor."

"And then what?"

I looked around to see if there was anything we could do and then it hit me.

"Find something that we can use to at least protect us from those things."

She didn't know what the hell I was talking about but it was either that or something else. So with out arguing we quietly walked back to the room that we came out of and looked for Talor.

I called for his name quietly as I could but still didn't get a response. I tried again but gave up after the fourth or fifth time.

Suddenly we find a door that was left opened, and with out a doubt someone was inside. How you may ask? Cause we could hear talking. As we entered we could see some of the people that left us by mistake.

"Scot…"

He took notice and rushed to hug me. Jolten just stood there not caring for what is going on right now. As for Daniel, he showed a sign of relief that we were o.k.

"By god…I thought you we gone for good." said Scot.

"Nope, we were just…" I took noticed that Robert was also missing from the group.

"Wheres Robert?" I asked.

Scot didn't want to answer but he had to explain. But to sum it all up it had to do with one name…47.
