We resume
John is hooked up by machines wires connected to both sides of his forhead A bandaid on his left temple ..still out Helena give Bob a order for care and then she goes to a witing Victor who while waiting staring at a battered John , what are they facing on Alpha ...
Victor: well
Helena is dumbfounded: so far ..as she looks at John. He has a slight concussion, he has 2 bruised ribs , some contusion and bruises, beyond waiting for the blood result report...He took a hack of a beating , but according to out finding so far He is just in a deep sleep..but not a coma sleep ...strange....
Victor ponders: his injuries are not from a fall from sleep walking Helena..I saw it ... upon futher investigation the samples I took from the vent seems to have the same substance we encounter when we went through that so called fog formation several hours earliar..and we seem to have gotten a hitch hiker ,that's now on Moon Base Alpha..only question is (as Victor tap his finger on his chin) ,what did It want from John.?.Dr Mathias interupts...... Doctor , Professor the commander is starting to wake up
Victor : good now we can get some answers
they go over to John then monitored beeped ..It was paul : Professor, Victor comes over and replied : find anything Paul
Paul: No sign of it Yet..we are flushing out vents compartments section by section it will take sometime
Victor: Be careful Paul we don't know what we are dealing with yet...Paul Nods and then ask How is the commander ?
Victor : he seems to be find will keep you posted.
meanwhile Helena is near John ..Bob is checking a chart...Helena replies John.....John can you hear me???
John started to stir..moving his head a little from side to side as to try to come out of it and slowly he opens his eyes..and it startled Helena ..John had closed his eyes back again, but for that one second she could have sworn John's eyes were white ..that's ridiculious she thought and her urgency for him to open his eyes again ,,,,John...John
John opens his eyes fully adjusting them to the light and sees Helena before him and he smiled
Helena looked relieved...Victor comes over saw Helena expression and ask what was wrong??..Helena shook it off as fatigue and think she needed 24 hours of sleepshe seeing things
John began to feel all the aches and pains (ohhhhhhh!!!did someone get the name of that bus) he moans what happened???
Victor replied : we was about to ask you the same thing..what was the last thing you remembered
John ponders trying to remember then he responded : I went to bed with a good book and then I woke up here...
Victor: John..you were attacked in your quarters by a unknown entity
John is baffled: as he sits up ( wait a minute commander as Bob took off the wire attached ment off his forehead...John seemed to sat up to fast and seemed dizzy and layed back down
Helena : you have a concussion, along with bruises contusions and several badly bruise ribs
John blows outward ..then got what Victor said..Wait a minute you said I was attacked ,by what who???
Victor: We don't know yet we are still looking for it
John : It???
Victor: seems our attacker has the same components as that fog we just went through...took some scans and DNA from the vent it went through and it has h2o properties but the difference it's made of some type of plasma like substance and electrical molecules
John: I was attacked by a cloud???
Victor: not exactly John....we believe We saw was it's weaken state how it travels.. but what it is when it transforms we have no clue..and what it wanted from you???
John tries to recal: but shakes his head became a little frustrated and replied I simply can't remember..
Helena: you did get a serious bump on the head..that could be effecting your short term memory, just could be temporially
John ask Victor:did you see this entity????Victor replied..You were in distress and we came to your quarters , you didn't open the door we got the door open you were , standing barely and the entity excape in the vents..Victor again ask are you sure you can't remember anything more to shed light on this???
John :seems to think (Victor) anything that you might not think might be inportant..then it seem a light came on..John responded : I remember hearing music errie but beautiful music..It was the most beautiful music I ever heard....
Victor: It could be using it to lure it's Victims, but for what purpose???
the montor beeped again and Dr Russell came over..Doctor Russell it's a emergency we found phillips in enginering and he's un resposive.. I think he was attacked by what looked like a cloud or misted it escaped through the vent..we be right there Dr Russell pushed a button emergency team to engineering ..emergency medical team to engineering...doctor Russel turns and Bob said he's got it and took off with a medical bag
Victor repies: It's beginniing to attack the crew...
John not waiting for more of his people to be attacked ... he sits back up and ready to get out of the bed..Helena stops him John we need to take more test..Just to be sure you are okay
John : a little sore but functional Doctor I'll be alright..Victor lends his shoulder as john gets up and is a little unsteady on his feet..John shakes the cobwebs out..he gave another breath..Victor concern and replied: are you sure you okay???
John seem to standup on his own..yeh I be find....so what are we doing??
Well we are searching and scanning every area for possible residue it leaves and ..we hope we can trap it in one of the air locks and send it out into space.. John: good ...crew meeting in 30 minutes as john heads for the door /...Victor stops him John It attacked you too..until this thing is caught I advise you to keep a guard....
Another beep on the monitor Dr Russell went over..Yes Johnston???we shot at a mysterious fog cloud it came out of douglin quarters ..He's dead
John looks at Victor ..John more determined then ever first she attack me and another person then she went right to murder....meeting in 30 minutes, He leaves quickly through the door...Mathias came in with a very pale Phillips..he came in with one of the guards..Victor ask the guard for his better good to guard the commander until this thing is caught....the guard leaves
Helena scans phillips..Victor well?
same diagnoses like John and Alan..he's a sleep no other injuries, his body tempature is a little low
Helena looks at Victor who seems to have a good idea what they are dealing with
in the meeting
Victor takes the floor...I am ..not sure what were dealing with ,but I can take a good guess...what we are dealing with is some sort of modern day Siren...they are usually are always females..and their choice of prey..men
In our mythical books and legend..It says a creature a beautiful seductive vamp lures sea goers to their death after granting the captain anything he desire...at the end the captain as they say goes down with the ship...
Alan: A beautiful woman..I would have remember that professor
Victor: It could have the power to erase short term meories with it's music
John: a creature that can not be killed by our lasers...
Victor adds: maybe not in her weaken state..but she could be in solid form ..she has to transform to attack the men on this base..using sleep to get us, Alan went to sleep in the eagle, John was sleep when he was payed a visit, phillips claim he didn't feel well and went to bed..and poor Douglin
John to Helena: what killed him?
Helena: It was like his very essance was sucked right out of his body..the only thing that was left was his papered thin skin..he was drain dry
Victor: He proberly didn't know what was happeing until it was too late
John: so the question is...how do was kill itz///
Victor replies: So far..lets assume the woman are safe It hasn't attacked them ..... now how do we stop it from attacking the men on Alpha??? every man can't stay awake forever
John: unless we take a stimulate to keep us awake long enough to get this thing..Helena
Helena: Yes we have that type of drug but the risk are to high
John: the risk are to high if we don't
Helena: We have a a stimualte that acts like several strong cups of coffee..but continue use can have the worst side effect..even causing rapisd heartbeat, heart papatations and maybe death..it can't be taken for more than 3 days 3 times aday..and that's with heavy monitoring
John: we have to take the risk..if not she will go through alpha like a hurricane and leave nothing behind..what's the time table for distribution???
Helena: several hours at least
John: good..we also need to pair up no man should be left alone at any time
Paul: I get right on it
Victor: Next step how do we catch it???
John thinks a minute: what if we build a container lure it in and flash freeze it and jettison it into space
Victor it's possible:...but we need is bait
John: Me
Helena : John that's to risky she had attack you before..
John : that's why I am the perfect lure...we just have to freeze her before she gets to me
Helena: How are we gonna get you out of there???
Victor: we could use hand held freezant ..that will give you enough time to get away
Helena: You don't know if this is gonna work..your risking your life
John: And if I don't try Alpha is doomed.. John adds anything to add?????with that no one had anything to say
John gets up ..lets get started ....Helena get working on the dosage and disabution of the stimulate as soon as you can
Paul make sure every man has a partner..Paul (right away)he closed his briefing folder and exit.....The John said Victor's name and Victor replied: Yes I know fix the perfect mouse trap....with that everyone gets up and went to do their job...Victor stayed behind..John notice he didn't leave and Victor notice John rubbing his forhead....Victor: you okay John???John just had a urge a stronge urge, but didn't know what for...he shakes it off as being anxious
What's wrong Victor. John replied again..Victor responded .I guess we are partners until we are given our own buddy
John >smiles: and goes over to Victor and ask We will beat this thing
Victor:the future looks dire if we don't ...... cont PT 4..
