Aza ran to the safe room, feeling her mind flip upside down. No, no, NO! This is not the time she thought. The demons were coming for her thoughts…
She reached the safe room and sat with her back against the wall.

James looked around the corner and exited the cargo room. He closed the door with the code he saw Alley use earlier. The door closed with a slam and James cringed. He dragged the cargo box down the west corridor and took a detour to avoid the south corridor. He peeked around every corner, and dragged the cargo to the safe room safely.

Penny looked up, grabbing her book and walkie talie and hightailing it for the safe room.

Alley ran, trying to get to the safe room.

The Alley look-alike was wandering the corridors, shooting cameras and causing chaos.

Bullet-shots rang out every one minute or so, and each time, they sounded closer. James waited at the safe room, watching Alley and Penny enter. (should we say Aza is with them?)

(She is already in the safe room)

Alley was the last to reach the door. Panting, she looked behind her. The Alley look-alike was making its way down the hallway. It caught Alley's gaze and gave a cruel smile. It ran towards her. Alley slammed the safe door closer and entered the emergency code, locking it from the inside.

(That's fine, don't worry :))
"Is everyone okay?"

James stared at the space where the Alley look-alike was. "That." He muttered. "That was close," He said louder. "We're all safe in here, those are chromium doors."

Alley shivered. She didn't know what the thing was capable of.
"I wonder why it chose my form…"

Alley snapped her fingers.
"The cargo. I was the one who read the note."

"That's gotta be it," James replied. "But how did it know? I mean, that means it was in the room with us when you read the note."

Alley thought for a moment.
"There was a second box. I assumed it was full of the same stuff as the one we opened, but…" Alley shivered again.
"What if someone is trying to sabotage this mission?"

The Alley look-alike pounded on the door. While our four companions couldn't see it, it was leaving dents in the door.

James's blood went cold. "Why would anyone do that? No one did anything to upset anyone when they were on Earth, right?"

Alley shook her head.
"I'm not the type to get into arguments."

James looked at Aza and Penny, and then back at Alley. "I did wonder why our group was so small…"

(I have a good idea of why this is happening, I'll be dropping hints ;))

(excited!)

"We are supposed to be one of many ships to head to Mars. However, only three ships made it off the planet in time. We have the smallest crew, however. One of them, the Salvation II, is a colony ship."
Alley glanced at her tablet.

"Damn, it took out all of the cameras. We're sitting blind."

"I don't like this. What if we wait for three or so hours and then open the door. If there's no sign of it, we'll venture out a little, if it's there, we'll attack. But we can't go to far from the safe room." James suggests

Alley nodded.
(I'm soooo not letting that play out according to plan. Evil laughter ensues)

James gave the thumbs up and leaned against the wall. He realized Alley wasn't nervous under pressure.
(oh boy)

The Alley look-alike was still banging on the door. The people in the safe room could now here it quite clearly.

"That's definitely getting louder.." James commented, but it was already obvious. He gripped his handgun and placed his finger on the trigger, just in case.
