Engineer 1st Class Mek<br/>Wolf-Human Hybrid standing at around 5 ft 10"<br/>Holding a pistol, some extra ammo, and some tools<br/><br/>Mek felt another tremor shake the ship as he fought to keep the engines up. Evacuations had sapped almost half the man power he had and the conditions had taken out most of what was left.<br/><br/>The lights flickered for a second.<br/><br/>"What is it sir?" A rookie asked Mek.<br/><br/>Mek ignored the question and looked down the hall to where some of the fuel cells had caught fire. The flames were licking at the sides of another case of the flammable liquids that kept the ship running.<br/><br/>"Everybody out!" He called urgently, but the fuel tanks exploded before any one could react.<br/><br/>A giant roaring ball of flame shot out from the end of the ship. Mek ran as fast as he could but the explosion was gaining. The screams of the rest of engineering filled his ears as he made for an open ventilation duct at the far end of the room. Just as the flames liked at his boots, Mek leapt through the opening to where a pod with only one seat left was waiting.
