'So I only have to take down 15 more of these Kree before the ship will officially become a ghost ship? That seems much more doable than what I was previously afraid of.'
Alex walked out of the airlock with a new feeling of resolve.
He had just finished disposing of the Kree's body by dumping it out of the airlock like he did with the other four.
But right as he was about to start heading over towards the command area now that he knew how many Kree pirates there were, he felt the presence of many Kree enter within 20 metres of him before he could even move away from the airlock.
'Shit! It looks like they got impatient and decided to come looking for me before I could go to them!'
Alex wasted no time in darting off in the opposite direction down the winding hallways, before hiding in a vent.

Alex crouched in the cramped darkness of the ventilation shaft, his breathing steady and controlled.
