They all stood there for a few minutes just starring into the blazing inferno that was the ship's shuttle hanger. Aira-ty seemed to be the most optimist of them all. "Come on guys just because the hanger is filled with flames doesn't mean that there isn't a shuttle one could be in there just waiting for us. So seal up those helmets folks we're going in!" They all complied and sealed up their helmets, and headed into the inferno. All the shuttles Emily was seeing were destroyed, all burning. as she neared a shuttle that seemed to be in the best shape it exploded sending Emily flying a few feet backwards. She got up, and looked around, but all she could see was hell.

She turned on her Coms-link. "Guys i'm not seeing anything, i'm heading back to the door." She got few responses back. When she got back to the door she stood in the door way waiting for the rest to return, one by one they all came back, M2 was the first he was using his fire extinguisher in a hopeless attempt to put out the flames. "M2 stop you made need that for latter." the droid made some beeps and complied. The next was the silent Commando, he came back his white armor scorched, the next was Eddie his armor in similar fashion, and than Dem came back, she was panting, and than came Aira-ty, she took one last glimpse into the blazing hanger, than pressed the button and watched as the doors closed.

Aira-ty gave a heavy sigh. "Well that does it, we have no way out of this system." They all leaned against the wall, all pondering what to do next.

It was Emily's turn to be optimist. "Come on guys remember we still have a chance there could still be that maintenance shuttle." Emily walked over to a wall terminal, and activated it. She was first going through it, but than she became frantic scrolling though the terminal, before she slammed her fist into. "Damn these people." She turned to the others. "Well there was a Shuttle but, it was destroyed, along with these so that no one could get off the ship." She walked over to the wall leaned against it and sank to the floor.

The silent commando went over to Eddie and shook his shoulder. Eddie looked at his last squad mate, than he seemed to get a jolt of energy. "I can't believe i forgot!" He turned to Emily. "Emily. Don't you remember how we got here in the first place?"

Emily pondered for a second. "The shuttle but that thing is destroyed."

He pointed at her. "Yes it was, but were did that shuttle come from?"

Emily again pondered for a second. "We came from the Imperial Dream, when i told them my crew was still on the ship... Oh my, the Imperial Dream, i think they would still be there, how long have we been here?" She jolted up, and shook Eddie.

"We have been here for about 28 hours. And it is against protocol to abandon a search until day 7 has past. So yes the ship should still be there, all we need to do is get to the d=bridge, and get in contact with them, and than they'll come and get us."

The rest of the group stood up, Aira-ty gave a little whoop. "So we still have a way off this ship, now all we need to do is find the Tram system, and get t the bridge."

Emily shook her head, "The ship is under 1200 meters of length so the ship as no tram system we are walking there." Aira-ty grunted, and they headed off. They kept an eye on all vents as they past them, Eddie heard a grunt, from one of the vents and went to investigate, when he opened the vent he saw that it made a vertical drop down, he peered down, and saw a Slasher. He pulled a grenade out activated it, and dropped it. He backed away from the vent, and heard a loud thud, the group than continued there way to the bridge using signs as their guide.

As they rounded a corner they saw some surviving New Republic Troopers. They all got excited cause these guys would know a quicker way to the bridge, they came out, and Ghost waved his hand to get the soldiers attention. "Excuse me sirs, would you happen to know the way to the bridge." The troopers turned around guns raised, one of them yelled "HOLD IT" Ghost raised his hands, "Wow wow, easy now guys, we just need to get to the bri..." Just than one of the Troopers shot him, Ghost looked down and saw were the he was hit... He looked up at the troopers. "Ow." They both than opened fire, killing him. Ghost fell backwards dead. Emily looked at Ghost completely shocked, at what just happened. She tried to run out to Ghost body, but the troopers opened fire on her, when they saw her. Eddie came out from behind the corner and opened fire, the two troopers tried to fight back, but they were no match for the commando.

Emily than ran out to Ghost's body. "No no no no NO! Ghost you can't die you can't, come back!" They than came some yelling from down the hall, and more Republic troopers came out, shooting at them, the rest came out shooting back.

Eddie looked back and saw an Elevator he gestured for every one to fall back to the it. He than grabbed Emily's shoulder, but she fought back, trying to get back to Ghost' dead body. "Emily he's gone, we need to go, he won't want you to die as well." She seemed to not hear him, for she continued to fight back till she saw a figure standing over Ghost's body... It was ghost, but translucent with a blue tint to him.

He pointed to the elevator. She looked on in confusion, as he faded away, she than spotted the New Republic troopers closing in, she than got to her feet and ran to the elevator, slamming into elevator wall, and Eddie was right behind her, he quickly pressed a random floor, and the doors closed. Emily sank to the elevator's floor crying. She was silent for the entire trip up.

Dem started to pace. "What the hell was that?! Why the hell did they try to kill us, we don't even look like those things."

Aira-ty shrugged. "I don't know. I'm not part of the New Republic."

Just than a Male voice came over the ship wide PH system. "All surviving crew members this is your captain speaking, we have made contact with an unidentified hostile alien life form, in a effort to make sure the creators do no escape the ship, i have destroyed all means of leaving the ship, it has been an honor serving with you all."

When the elevator stopped they came out guns at the ready, but Emily stayed were she fell. Eddie walked over to her. "Come on Emily, we have to keep moving, Ounce we get in contact with that ship, we'll make these bastards pay."She looked up at him, and nodded, she than stood up, and exited the elevator.
