Meeting Back Up

"Marie, I think those things trapped us up there on purpose. We need you to come back, and then we are leaving." Samson sounded urgent in his words, as if he were already on the way to hanger. Marie wouldn't leave her sister here on this God-forsaken ship however, though she understood why Samson was so worried.

"I wont leave my sister Samson." Marie replied, having opened the Captains door and now moving towards the main bridge.

Some harsh words were flung behind Samson, and Marie could hear Nicholas cursing in the background. She didn't know what was being said, but she was sure it wasn't kind. Once Samson hushed the other two finally, he returned to Marie.

"We'll find your sister and then we are out of here. We still need to repair the shuttle, and you won't find the parts on the Bridge."

Marie listened intently as she exited the officer quarters into the main bridge-head again. She kept herself alert to anymore of those vile creatures, or the dog-beast from earlier. Besides the sudden attack from earlier, the bridge seemed calm and quiet yet again, with only the beeping of computers keeping her company.

"Take the elevator and meet back up with us near the Tram station. I want all of us to go to the industrial sector and retrieve some parts necessary to get the shuttle working again." He sounded more resolute this time, and Marie was thankful for that. Samson's leadership was absolutely needed here, and she knew the other two would easily crumble without him.

Accessing the elevator that initially brought them up here, Marie scanned inside for any nasty surprises. When she was satisfied, the engineer quickly activated it and kept quiet. The loud hum of the machine as it lowered her from the bridge filled the elevator, and she knew comms would be cut if she attempted to speak to Samson.

Suddenly and without warning, the lights flickered off and the elevator came to a complete stop. Red lights flooded the elevator, as a annoying and calm automated voice announced the elevator was now down for maintenance.

"Samson?" called out Marie, though no reply came from the other side.
