Who: Anyone who wants to be spooked in space!
What: Scary alien time
Where: Through the doors and into USCSS Nostromo
When: Open throughout the Halloween Event


While returning to Earth from Thedus, the Nostromo was diverted to the Zeta II Reticuli system when the ship's mainframe intercepted a distress beacon originating from an uncharted planetoid. The ship is top of the line for her age, complete with hypersleep chambers, mess hall, infirmary, and other industrial areas. The ship also comes equipped with the AI designated MU-TH-UR, to answer questions and make sure the crew is on mission. And through the ship there is a feeling of being watched, though the crew seems to be nowhere to be found.

'Evidence of the Nostromo's unceasing mechanical vigilance was everywhere on the quiet ship, in soft hums and lights that formed the breath of instrumental sentience. It permeated the very fabric of the vessel, extended sensors to check every circuit and strut. It had sensors outside too, monitoring the pulse of the cosmos. Those sensors had fastened onto an electromagnetic anomaly.'

Inside the bridge, small and built only for one person, there is a read out of the mission:

There was something convenient about Kitty showing up at his house seeking his help through the doors, considering Nyx being Nyx, was planning a trip through at that moment anyway. Plus, since the baseball game few months back where he line drived a baseball right at the woman under the guise of false rules, he appreciated a chance to make up for it helping the woman.

"Hey!" Nyx commented while walking with Kitty. "Don't worry about it. Opportunities to go through the door with another person doesn't always come about, so having company is nice." He laughed. "I just hope it's like the last time when I ended up in a country called Japan. Easy. Quiet. Nothing dangerous." There was a sigh. "Something to be said for that happening." While she pulled the door open.

Nyx didn't wait, he followed into the ship letting his eyes adjust to the lower light. "Not what I was thinking either, but who knows, maybe it's a trader ship." Nyx suggested while keeping a hand on the hilt of the blade on his thigh, because it could also be a ship with dangerous people on it. "Lets look around a bit." Stated nudging his head down a direction while starting to venture down the path.

"Hello?!" The Glaive called out down the corridor. "We're not here to cause trouble.." He said more to no one. "Is this weird, that we're not finding anyone?" Nyx asked glancing back to Kitty immediately getting that bad feeling in his gut.

"That almost feels weirder," Kitty admitted with a laugh when Nyx told her he'd been to Japan before, "A little too close to home, you know?" She shrugged, it was a weird thing to think about really - like if they went to Japan what was to stop them from catching a flight home? Even if it wasn't really their home? She could see what some other Kitty's world was like? Or something like that she thought. No it was better that she went to places that weren't all that familiar.

"But I agree with you about the nothing dangerous bit. I like the sound of that." She agreed with a small grin, she wanted something to happen, but as long as it was nothing too dangerous, nothing that ended up with some more injuries or something like that? Well she'd be pretty happy with that.

As for the ship - well, they might not get a lot of scavenging done here, but it would be kind of fun regardless she thought - it had been a while since she'd been aboard a ship. And though she preferred to have her feet on planet Earth she did miss some of this. So there she was with Nyx while he called out asking if there was anyone there. As soon as he turned to her asking if it was weird that they hadn't found anyone the door they'd come through swung shut. "I've got a bad feeling about this."

She said it quietly, mostly for him to hear, but for herself too - into the space around them because it was like the air around them grew heavier, like something was watching them even though they couldn't see anything. "I guess this means we keep moving forward?"

She was right on that. "It was so peaceful and everyone was so friendly." Nyx commented about his adventure to Japan. "I don't think I had been anywhere more friendly through the doors." Thinking about it some, Nyx scratched his chin. Nope. Vegas was even rough with the alien invasion that had happened. "So you're close to Japan back where you're from?" He asked while touching the cold metal of one of the walls.

Looking about there was just the eerie notion they weren't alone, but the area had nothing visible. There was nothing positive about this place, and that was what really was making Nyx uncomfortable. "Second thought.." Nyx turned to Kitty just in time to see a long black tail slinking down behind her. So much for retreating and trying again. Snatching his hand out, a blue dome formed around the pair just in time to for the tail to bounce off the shimmering exterior.

With his other hand he gripped Kitty's arm pulling her around behind him so he could keep the spell up as the tail disappeared up above them.

"What in Gods was that?" Dropping the shield Nyx's eyes remained above them looking for what could own the long black tail. "I don't suppose you know?" Nyx questioned pulling the one kukri from his sheath realizing how late they were on being able to escape.

"I lived there for a few years." She told him, with an easy smile remembering those years - they hadn't all been good, but she'd learned a lot, and she and Logan had grown closer during that time that she'd been there. It had been well worth it of course. But yes. If she found herself there again it would be strange in a way she couldn't quite put into words.

But as the door closed thoughts of home and Japan and well a nice easy simple trip through the doors were replaced with a sense of dread as to whatever was about to happen - because of course something was about to happen, doors didn't close like that and then nothing happened. She was still looking around for maybe someone to tell them what was happening when Nyx grabbed for her pulling her behind him and as she turned she saw - well she wasn't entirely sure what she saw.

"I didn't get a good look at it." She didn't like the idea of there being something that didn't just show itself.

"It'd be too much to ask that it's friendly, right?" She asked him, with a small kind of ridiculous hope, reaching a hand out to lay on his shoulder to phase him with her if it became necessary, "Maybe we should keep moving? Try and find another door?"

"I was there for an afternoon." Nyx chuckled. It was a nice little visit with Lunafreya, and they were able to get all the things that were needed appropriately to help restock some things. "Japan, just seems nice." He stated remembering the happy time that was spent there.

But with the things happening, Nyx really was more focused on what they were doing and dealing with. "I only saw a black tail. Long, black, tail." Nyx's eyes remained up in the ducting of the ship, which was mostly covered and secure. Except one vent cover was open. "We should watch the vent covers, or other spaces. I think that's where it's hiding.." He hoped they were able to fight whatever this was.

A chuckle and Nyx glanced for just a moment at Kitty. "It might be. I don't think it wants to give us a hug." Nyx pointed to an open corridor. "There." And he moved to it before looking in - which gave Nyx immediate pause to go through. Stopping he didn't even think to stop Kitty from looking. The brutal blood back that was displayed. Holes in the walls from autofire, jagged melted holes in the ground from other weapons likely, but the blood. There was so much blood.

"What could cause this?" Nyx commented tightening the grip on his weapon.

"Black tail - well that doesn't sound great." But maybe it could be worse? At least that's what she told herself, at least it wasn't .... on fire? Whatever, she didn't know. She just kept her eyes open looking around for whatever it was that Nyx had seen, keeping close to him, just in case they were surprised and she needed to phase to keep them safe.

She sighed but grinned a little, "One of these days we're going to meet a monster or something that is really just looking for a hug." She could dream at least - it was a nice thought though. Especially right then, when they were in a darkened ship with what might be a monster stalking them through the vents. Yeah a hug would be great right about now.

Pursing her lips when she saw the blood and the melted holes in the ship, what had started off as a potentially fun trip into space for a short time, was very quickly becoming anything but. She was no stranger to death and blood, but seeing it here like this? Well she wasn't going to look back on this trip fondly. "More things than you think." She said with a low breath, and she hoped that maybe the crew had been able to get out and that the blood they saw wasn't all that was left of them. "Nothing we want to meet though."

"It was pretty terrible looking." Nyx answered honestly. "And I stared down the jowls of a three headed, flaming, hell hound." Nyx stated next while taking in the scenes they were walking into.

"Oh man. A happy, here have some candy and some hugs monster sounds pretty great if you asked me." With a glance to the woman Nyx smirked some. "And I'm normally right." Kicking some of the debris and the shell casings. Though for the amount of blood, there just wasn't any bodies.

"You see any bodies?" Nyx suddenly blurted out, looking around the area they were standing. Weapons, blood, but no bodies. That was terrifying Nyx immediately decided. Keeping close to Kitty, Nyx focused on himself for a second. Steeling his internal consciousness. Alright. "So. We need to find the door out. This place has done very well to make me nervous and not mess with the doors again."

"Not exactly a ringing endorsement." Kitty tried to keep it light, even while they took in the scene of gore before them - well not quite gore, but nothing good happened here. That much was obvious from the amount of blood that surrounded them and the holes in the wall and floor.

She shook her head when he asked about bodies, there weren't any that she saw. Which was another kind of worrisome, considering the amount of blood. There should be bodies, or at least one - there should be a crew. But they hadn't seen any of them yet though, apart from the blood and Kitty was still hopping that maybe they were still around and maybe could help them figure out what was going on here and how to get out.

"Yeah, yeah I think that's a good idea. I don't think there's anything here all that compelling that we're going to want to try and stick around for." She'd hoped maybe they'd find something cool and interesting, but it seemed all that they'd find was nothing good. "This way," She pointed down a corridor so they could try and find the way back to town, and maybe not whatever it was that Nyx had seen.

Shaking his head, Nyx kept more focus on what was around them. Really, he wasn't in the mood to find out if he were to die if he'd revive back in Starklandia again or not. There was far too much for him to do now, with Lunafreya in the small town. "I think what I saw, would hug you, just around your neck." Nyx tried to keep his mood light, despite the tightness in his gut telling him that they had major issues.

That was when there was a racket in the vents above them as something that sounded quite large moved through at a rapid speed.

Nyx's stance dropped a little lower as he spun his weapon for a reverse grip. "That.." He whispered. "Didn't sound pleasant." He shook his head. "We really need to find an exit.." Nyx said reaching out with his free hand to grab on to Kitty's so they wouldn't get seperated. Just as he turned towards the doorway the entered, he watched a nightmare appear in front of his eyes. It was dark, slick and slimy. No eyes to be seen and that made it all the worse. It was insanely large, and the way it moved - it almost slinked. It's head turned towards them and the mouth opened revealing a slick second mouth as a tongue.

Nyx never panicked, but this, this was different. The Glaive released Kitty and pointed outright and then a fireball erupted from his hand right into the whatever it was. "Run!" Nyx shouted to Kitty as he pushed her in further towards the only other exit which he would be right on her heels.

"Not sure we'd call that a hug where I'm from." She said it trying to maintain a little bit of that silliness, like she wasn't worried about whatever it was they were dealing with - like this was all fine. But here eyes darted to the vent above them at the sound of something moving above before whatever had been hiding up there lowered itself down in front of them. Huge and imposing, dark and absolutely not the sort of thing that would be interested in a hug.

Her eyes went wide and she grabbed for Nyx when he released her but was running ahead of him at the same time, she didn't need to be told that they needed to get away from this thing - theere was nothing about it that made her want to stick around to get a better look.

She held her hand back for him, once they were through the door, feeling certain that thing was coming after them even as they ran and so rather than simply running down the hall, Kitty phased her head through the wall just to get a look to make sure she wasn't pulling them out into space and then once sure she came back just long enough to get a hand on Nyx, gripping him tightly and phasing the pair of them through the wall giving them at least for the moment a bit of a barrier between them and the thing that they had seen.

"Shit, we have got to find a door - there's only so long I'm going to be able to keep us phased ahead of it." It was a good trick of course, let them catch their breath for a moment, but it wasn't really a plan, it was just the chance to stay one step ahead for a little while.

They both seemed to be right on the same page regarding the how and where. Though the moment that Kitty vanished from sight through a wall, Nyx would acknowledge the spike in fear he felt. Though thankfully she had returned to somehow bring him through that same wall. Incredible trick.

Taking a breather, Nyx looked around. Naturally no doors.

"Yeah we do. I thi-" Nyx stopped hearing something on the other side of the wall. He glance said it all, and Nyx didn't know if he was able to get ahead of it and fight it. Sure he fought many different beasts and deamons back in Ios, but this specific creature was horrific. Something made from nightmares. "I think we need to try and keep ahead of it. Something like that that was able to take out an entire ship?" There was a visible shudder from Nyx.

This was not idea, Kitty thought maybe she'd prefer to be dealing with some of the places she and John had been in the past to this monster thing that she and Nyx were faced with now. The reality of it was more than a little terrifying. They had a moment now that they'd put a wall between themselves and the thing that was on the ship with them.

"It seems that way," Which only made this whole thing worse really, that whatever that thing was had been able to take out the crew of this ship - and it was now just moving through space empty except for the thing that they had seen. "I've never seen something like that, whatever that was - it's not.... it's not normal." She knew normal wasn't really a thing, particularly in space, but she'd seen enough aliens to kind of have an idea of how a lot of them worked, but that thing wasn't like anything she'd seen before.

"We've got to find the door back to town - this isn't .... there's not anything here worth sticking around for, we've just got to get back." It wasn't that she was scared, but she as worried, she worried about her ability to keep ahead of that thing, she worried more about Nyx than herself, she could phase herself out of danger, but Nyx - he needed her help.

Nyx himself would be hard pressed to think of something worse than this. The time him and Val cleared out a the living dead from the hardware store wasn't even this bad. That was a calculated and simple method of eliminating the threat they had to deal with. This though, this was a gods damned monster that was able to likely destroy them easily if they weren't careful. Pulling himself together he looked to Kitty.

"Alright. Take stock. You can.." He paused looking for words. "Walk us through walls? Can you do anything else?" He questioned so he could look at things more calculatedly. "I have my magic. Lightning, fire. I can make that barrier I did earlier. I can go invisible, and warp. Though Warping you and I is a little tough if I had to do it, but it's possible." Flexing his free hand he prepared himself. Steeled his nerves.

"I agree. Getting out of here is absolutely priority one." Then the scream. The blood curdling scream that echoed through the ship's hull. Followed by rapid automatic fire, which was deafened by the later silence. Nyx was torn between tasks. Help survivors, and make it back to his princess. "That is ominous." Nyx whispered not noticing the Xenomorph slinking down at him.

"Right, yeah walking through walls, I can go entirely intangible if I need to - I can make you the same if we need it, I just have to have a hand on you." She added, needing him to know that if she reached for him she needed him to reach back so she could keep him safe, she and John hadn't had time to talk before they'd needed to make use of her powers the first time she went through the doors, this didn't have to go the same way.

"If I can get close enough I can phase it through something too, through the floor, a wall, out into space." That'd probably be good, or even half way, trap it in a wall or the floor, maybe she could even phase her hand into it - that thing had a brain right? It had to if it was alive? At least she thought it must.

She was still thinking about possibilities when she heard the scream, and the sounds of gunfire, her eyes went wide as she looked in the direction she thought she'd heard it coming from. "I thought we were -" She'd been getting ready to say alone when she saw it this time, the shape moving in the darkness, slowly like it might take them by surprise and she moved then, pushing Nyx out of the way to phase herself through the monster that had been coming for them, she only unphased for a moment, but it was enough to realize what a mistake that was, she held back the scream as best she could as she pulled her arm back and put herself in front of Nyx even while cradling her arm in front of herself, she could still protect them even if she was hurt - she'd take stock of the injury later, when they were out of here. "Go, we've got to go."

Well, wasn't Kitty so damn useful in this situation. Between the pair of them, they were going to be just fiiiiine- It wasn't that he was mad, but he was mostly caught off guard by the shove. Nyx managed to stay on his feet, but his attention was diverted long enough to miss mostly what was happening with his comrade. When his blues landed on Kitty, she was cradling her arm and he already knew it was bad.

"Fuck."

Moving forward the weird alien was moving awkwardly. So whatever she did to the creature was enough to fry some of it's wires internally to cause it to move unnaturally and bump not only into walls and objects. With little hesitation, Nyx grabbed Kitty on her good side to keep her moving with him. "Lets go." Nyx agreed. Through one door, and into the corridor as it was clear, he kept moving them. Then out came one of the other aliens from an intersection. "Hold on!" Nyx said underhand throwing his blade right past the creature. Clutching Kitty it happened in a flash. Second? Third? Whatever, he still managed to yank her and him through the warp right past the alien where clutched his blade again keeping them moving. Nyx just hoped she could hold her lunch through that.

Ducking into a room, he hit whatever controls to shut the door and hoped it would last. "Lets see quick." Nyx said quickly looking at her arm, which wasn't looking good. Then a bang on the door behind him brought his attention. Not getting a single break, that was for sure.

It was only that she had a lot of experience with injuries in desperate situations that kept her from crying out after what felt like acid had been poured on her arm, thankfully she'd phased again and there wasn't any left on her skin even after she pulled her arm free of the creature. But there had been damage done to her and they didn't have time to let her sit around an examine it the way she might have liked to - not when it was becoming increasingly obvious that they weren't alone here and that the one monster they'd dealt with wasn't the only one.

She leaned into Nyx and let him pull her out of the room and through darkened corridors trying to find their way out, the door back to town or maybe even just some answer that would help them finish off these things. It all happened quickly after that, moving and suddenly she had moved from one place to another and they had a door closed behind them again, though if the sounds of the creatures on the other side were any indication it wouldn't last long.

"It's - I don't know, burned maybe?" She winced finally looking at her arm now that they had just a moment. "We've got to find the door out of this place, my arm can wait, it's not falling off and at this point that's all that matters." She didn't care about the rest and in truth if losing her arm meant they got out of it alive that was a trade she was willing to make.

In the room there was a console, Kitty examined it a bit, it seemed outdated, like the tech was old despite this being a ship in space. It was strange, but Kitty could work with it, "Here." She said pointing to the internal map she'd pulled up. "There is an escape pod here," She told him, and sure it wasn't ideal, but considering the way these things were coming at them, getting off the ship might just be their best bet. "I can get us most of the way with phasing." She told him, "We might miss all of them entirely."

Burned, it looked burned and well as gross as this was... it smelled burned. Not fire as if scorched and charred but chemically. That was for the time when they got back, when they could focus on treating her wounds appropriately. In the immediate, the biggest concern was exactly as she said. Finding the door out of this place. The house was absolutely playing them all for fools it seemed.

Glancing through the small port window, Nyx watched the alien bang against the door again before it took notice of him - using the small mouth inside it's mouth to launch outward at him shattering the small window. Nyx had barely dodged it, in a fashion where he thought his life flashed before his eyes. "I think your plan is the right one." Nyx agreed jumping back over to Kitty. "Because, phasing is probably the best way to get us there."

Nyx tightened the grip on his weapon in his right hand, and held his left to Kitty. "You're the guide now, you lead the way." Nyx followed Kitty with no hesitation of where she was leading him through the first wall. He was just hoping they'd get to a door or that said escape pod - which ever first to get away from this nightmare.

"Shit," Kitty swore as the alien began to break through the door, or at least broke through the glass nearly managing to latch on to Nyx. This was not a good situation at all and they were very obviously outmatched by these things. They just needed to find a way out and get back to town as quickly as possible, or at the very least get off this ship.

"Okay, just - keep a hand on me, okay, whatever happens, whatever you see, whatever we're facing, keep a hold on me and I can keep you phased with me." Sure maybe phasing through the aliens wasn't going to be the best thing for either of them but as long as she kept them phased they should be fine, or mostly fine.

She held on to him too though, and with his agreement that she was leading the way she started off, phasing through a wall and into the next room. The map she'd pulled up was small and not nearly as detailed as she'd have liked but it would do the job well enough. They jumped through a couple halls and a few more rooms, through machinery and what looked like sleeping pods of some sort maybe? She wasn't sure - there were too many unknowns here, but she kept them moving until they came up to the final door.

"Okay, I'm going to open this - I don't want to phase through it since I'm not sure if there are any sort of technical parts in the door that I'll fry. So just.... keep an eye out I'll get this open and we'll get out of here."

The way these aliens operated, were very close to like how things he'd notice fighting Niflheim. Almost robotic or like a hive. Something driving their instincts and giving the, directive. Nyx didn't know how it operated exactly, but he was absolutely not interested in anything more than getting away from this hellscape.

Holding onto Kitty Nyx paid attention to the surroundings. There was absolutely more than one or two or however many. They looked very similar to each other, so Nyx really wasn't sure. But what he was sure of, was that they were apex hunters trying to get them. Eat? Did these things even eat? And with which mouth? Just more questions with even less answers.

Making it to their final destination, Nyx turned from Kitty while she worked on the escape pod. Looking about, he looked down a corridor and saw it. It was a door that did not look like the others. It was their door. Their escape. "Hey." He whispered slinking back to Kitty patting her arm. "Hold up." He dragged her with him to the edge of the intersection on the corridor and pointed down at the door. "Look. Is that.." Nyx's tone hopeful. "That's our ticket, right?"

She didn't like this, the way this was set up the escape pod - she knew the way ships worked, and this was - well she should have known better than to just run for the pod and hope they could get in. Ships didn't work like that, there would be some sort of hub, some sort of display to set up the ejection of the pod and now she was there fighting with tech she didn't quite understand knowing that if they didn't figure this out she and Nyx were looking at the very real possibility of not surviving this place. She'd have just phased them through the door if she wasn't worried that she might just fry any tech that was actually important to keeping the craft space worthy.

Things never could just be easy it seemed. For all that she had hoped that this trip might be a change from her usual fast paced insanity that she normally found through the doors, it seemed that nothing had changed and she was here now stuck in this place and the only silver lining to all of this was that John wasn't here too.

Thank god for Nyx really, keeping an eye out as she worked to try and open the door, spotting the thing she hadn't seen as she'd been so focused on the pod. She let him pull her away from where she'd been working to see what he had noticed. Her stomach sank realizing what it meant. "We're going to have to run for it." She said after a moment. She didn't like it, it was a bad idea, a narrow corridor but with their ticket back home on the other side what other option did they have.

"We'll do it like we did before, yeah?" She said making sure they were on the same page, "You keep close and I'll do my best to phase us through any of the worst of it - all we have to do is make it to the door and we're out of this."

One of those things, where for their first time together in this type of situation, they both just ran right into their duties as a team. Without even voicing too much on their roles. They both just knew things that needed to be done, and that showed when it came to Kitty. She wasn't a soldier, that much Nyx could tell, but she was absolutely a team player. That alone, made it easy to work with Kitty during this high stress situation.

While they took in the surroundings, and Nyx couldn't help but agree. That door was their prize and the thing they needed. "Run for it. You take point, and I'll be right behind you." Nyx nodded some watching for movement in the corridor. Having seen the things move quickly and appear from nowhere, it made it a risk for sure. "I think we need to stay low since we know they like being up above, but quick."

Taking a deep breath he steeled his nerves again. Simple as that, and he was calm and ready. These were just a different breed of monster for him to fight. Nothing more fearsome than what he fought during the war with Niflheim. This, he could handle. "Alright Captain." Nyx smirked. "Lead the way." With her on the move, Nyx was right on her heels.

She was relieved at least that Nyx seemed to be okay with her taking a bit of the lead, trusting her to phase them both when they needed it, to get the door to the pod open but now - well now things were getting more complicated as if things could get any more complicated than being trapped on what seemed to be an abandoned space ship filled with alien monsters. But here they were.

"Just make sure you keep close, whatever they are - they aren't .." She trailed off hearing the sound of something coming up behind them, no they didn't have time to stand around talking about what they were going to do, they just had to do it and Kitty was going to trust that Nyx could keep up. So she grabbed him, almost wanting to keep them phased through the whole thing, but knew it wouldn't be reasonable to do that.

But she moved quickly, ready to phase if she needed to, keeping an eye on him and the door, always keeping her eye on the door lest it disappeared again leaving them stranded a second time.

And then there was a flurry of movement off to one side of her and Kitty didn't have time to brace herself for whatever was coming for them.
