You are one of the last to go through the portal and subsequently, your vessel was swarmed. The infected did not survive the travel, but the damage left your vessel reeling. It crashed into the snow and killed all your crews but by sheer dumb luck, a steel sharpsnel missed your throat by mere inches
The damaged vessel exposed you to both small amount of Black Blood disease and a overwhelming dose of spacial radiation. It's a miracle that you only become pale as snow, your hair turned completely white, your eyes turned red from albinism. After a fitful and bloody cough, you grabbed the axe from the vessel along with essential to last you a week and head out.
By the end of the day... You found a vessel wreckage, abandoned but intact. In the night, you hear whistles, sounds human enough yet you felt uneasy. From afar, there's a vaguely human face... You don't see the body... It felt like you are in the uncanny valley.
Figure: "H- Hea... Hel...p mmmme..."
It was too calm for a person in danger, too humane for a beast, stay silent or approach your choice. Remember, the crew of this vessel is missing.
