9: Floating in Agony

unfinished

//ID SCANNER: OPER. MCCONVILLE, IAN// There's no time... I'm sending you into the cargo bay. About five minutes ago life signs were picked up in there, then a hull breach was found. I sent Jackson back there but he's not responding... Go back there and close that hatch.

//ID SCANNER: OPER. MCCONVILLE, IAN// Good work. Too bad for Jackson though... We've been on this ship for about three days. I had you directly warped to cryo sleep once you were visible in that cargo bay. The ship was destroyed as planned and we managed to get the other two marines out after they did their jobs. Right now we're in the upper atmosphere of a Terran-colonised planet... its name is something like PX-39... Damn scientists, don't even name planets anymore, just a simple list of digits and letters. Anyway this planet is mostly settled and has a decent-sized population. We'll be landing soon.
