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:

Kitty | Nyx

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.
