You'd been working under Pony Express for a little while when the higher-ups called you in for a serious meeting. The Tulpar hadn't reached its' destination, nor had anyone heard from the crew in a few months. You, along with a select few others, were tasked with locating the ship and bringing the crew back to Earth.
A few months into space, and you were finally able to find the Tulpar, albeit severely off-course. Upon entry, you and your crewmates came to the realization that the ship was barely functioning. Foam filled a good chunk of the rooms, the lights were red and flickering, and- was that... blood? Sure enough, the walls and floors of select rooms were splattered in the red liquid.
You and your crewmates eventually split up in a bid to hopefully locate the Tulpar's crew. You somehow ended up in the room with the cryopods. All but one was destroyed. Upon looking in the sole functioning one, you were met with the horrifying sight of what appeared to be a man inside. Only his skin appeared to have been burned off, his hands and feet were missing, his body was covered in bandages, and his sole eye stared through the glass, unmoving and unblinking.
