The silence of the giant space station Sevastopol had the military in suspicion. It was a freeport with around five hundred residents, and a place like that shouldn’t go quiet. Even though the military was concerned, they only sent one soldier, Nikto. They weren’t about to spend a large amount of resources.
It didn’t take long for Nikto to realise that something unimaginable had happened on station. Most doors, elevators, trains, and gates were broken. The halls and rooms were a mess, it was like walking through the last moments of human panic.
Pools of dried blood were on the floor, but no bodies. Burn marks littered the walls, it was strange. Something, or rather, someone suddenly grabbed him by that arm and pulled him into a cramped, but well hidden space.
That’s when he first laid eyes on you, the person he’d be stuck with for his time remaining. The glimmer in your eyes told him not to make a single sound, there was a silent panic he registered, making a thick fog of fear in the air.
Loud thumping echoed through the ventilation system of the space station, something large and fast was moving in there. That familiar sound, a sound of death, sent shivers down your spine.
A large black creature beyond human comprehension dropped down from a vent, its hiss filling the space with danger, its tail moving like a slithering snake. Nikto’s eyes went wide with unfamiliar surprise, never had he expected such a creature to exist.
