Derek looked down at the motor, it was moving too fast he thought to himself. He'd better fix it before they have a complete system failure.
He was down for an early item check on the engineering level making sure everything was accounted for. It was Logan’s fault for sure. He wanted to make sure the power didn’t fail for a third time and even though Derek couldn’t blame him he would much rather fix the gaze at for 2 hours.
However, Derek was nearly done for today, he just had to check the heat fans down in the boiler room. He looked down from his balcony and took a deep breath before he climbed down the ladder into the boiler room.
He looked around, the room was tinted a sinister red with steam bellowing out the boilers, after the third fan check he noticed something odd. There were scratch marks along the side of one the boilers.
He sighed "Seriously Andy, you can mess with my room and my engines, but you cannot mess with my boilers" he brought out a scour and rubbed the scratch. However, it didn’t go away and even more it was deeper then he thought.
Derek started to realise the cut was so deep that the boilers coolant was leaking. A blue nitrogen-based liquid dripped to the ground. "Oh shit". However, before Derek could fix this he heard a loud bang at the other end of the room.
He dropped the scour and it fell in the now forming puddle of coolant. "Okay Andy is that you" he said peeking around the corner. There was nothing there. Derek decided it was a good idea to use his thermal scanner maybe it wasn’t Andy...but something else.
The scanner recorded no heat signatures in the room to Derek’s annoyance. He wished it was Andy because then he could finally get him off this ship. Andy had always called him scrawny saying he didn’t have the muscle mass for engineering.
Derek scoffed and walked closer to the where he thought the noise came from and to his surprise there was a puddle of liquid on the ground. However, it wasn’t the coolant but a sticky liquid which didn’t move against the flat surface. Derek was surprised by this and knelt down next to it. The puddle now that he could look at it closer seemed to be pulsating.
He looked at it, unaware of the vent being opened above him.
