The sound of radio static interrupted Danny's sleep. He sat upright, rubbing his face for a few seconds before getting out of bed and trying to flick on the lights.<span style="font-style: italic">Huh, that's odd,</span>he thought. Somehow the power went out. His fingers trailed across the surface of the counter, eventually stumbling across his radio. Because of his on-board security job, he was require to carry it everywhere. It was small enough to fit in his pocket at least, so it wasn't a huge hassle. He picked it up, listening in on the static for a few seconds. "Hello?" he called into the receiver. Static. He grumbled, using his sense of touch to explore around the room until he found his flashlight. He clicked it on and hurriedly dressed into jeans and a simple grey t-shirt, pulling on his grey running shoes. He gathered everything that he thought he'd need from the room. If the power truly was off, he wouldn't be able to get back in unless he broke the doors down.<br/><br/>As he exited the room, his thoughts turned towards the previous night's (or earlier that night's) date. He was happy she enjoyed their date. He was ecstatic that they were now a couple. He'd left around midnight, after she fell asleep on him during a round of Dudley. He tucked her into bed and left, not even bothering to go see the eclipse. He'd seen a few during various other spaceship-related jobs he applied for. They weren't all that special.<br/><br/>As he walked up the stairs, heading towards the mall so he could see if he was really being called in or if the power outage was just putting the radios on the fritz. Something was odd about the whole thing though, normally there'd be a few parties going on, or at least a drunk passenger trying to find their way back to their cabin. It was just...silent. Eerily silent. He neared the cage, shining his light in it's direction. His heart dropped into his stomach. It was broken, and the creature was nowhere to be seen. He quickly descended the stairs to where all the security stuff was located, opening his locked and stuffing the handgun they all were issued into his waistband. He didn't like the fact that it was gone.<span style="font-style: italic">I've got to find Alison,</span>he thought, suddenly stopping. He wanted to at least find a watch or something.<br/><br/>He rifled through most of the lockers and cases, eventually finding what he was looking for. It was a high-tech helmet, meant to be able to monitor vitals, show time, have night vision, infrared, and able to access a map of the ship to show the position of the creature and other people with the helmet. He shrugged, quickly changing into his security uniform and placing the helmet on his head, quickly switching the night vision on. He clicked off his flashlight and stuck it in his jacket, next to his gun. He ascended the stairs, looking around the shopping area for any sign of the alien. Apparently, everybody decided to close up once the power went out.<span style="font-style: italic">Aren't most of these places supposed to be open twenty-four hours?</span>he thought, stalking through the mall. He wanted to check out the map function, but it wouldn't work unless the ship's power was on, otherwise the positioning system wouldn't communicate with the ship correctly, and the map wouldn't show. He decided to return to the passenger level and find Alison. Hopefully she wouldn't have left her room. Something about the situation didn't feel right.<br/><br/>Danny checked the time as he descended the final flight of stairs. 5:03 AM. He was already walking down the hallway, when a blip on his motion detector made him pause. He heard a small creaking noise, and quickly switched to infrared, reaching for his weapon as he quietly stalked down the hallway. He could see a humanoid figure, and flipped his visor up, clicking his flashlight on. It was a woman, with auburn hair that he instantly recognized. He set off at a jog towards her, tapping her gently on the shoulder. "Alison!"
