The woman sits, shaking in her seat as Cassandra goes back to search the ship, afraid that she might find something more than she had bargained for. "No please!" She cried, but the woman insisted anyways. This pregnant woman hugged her arms to her chest, waiting in terror for long moments until Cassi rejoined her on the Iron Kite, appearing unmolested. "Thank god," she whispered, and grabbed Cassi by the hand. "Flush them! Kill them!" She chided, and watched as the woman did just that, Merlin's current passengers being jettisoned into space by the vacuum of air that demanded to be filled.<br/><br/>Cassandra might not have been paying attention, but this woman's eyes were glued to the window, watching. It was hard to see the creatures, but she was confident that breaking the airlock would cleanse the whole ship instantly. That was what she did in the first place, so many months ago...<br/><br/>It was still fresh in her mind. They were a happy crew then, more than a dozen men and women doing research in the outer rims of their Solar system. Then one day, something... Changed. It started with a scratching sound in the air systems, as if rats had been climbing through them. They ignored the sound for two days, until someone demanded that they check it out. That was when they were attacked. Those monsters pinned people to the ground and raped them; Their keen senses allowed them to discriminate against male and female. She didn't know what happened to the men before she had opened the airlock, but they had all been swept out and died instantly because of her cowardice. She had already been impregnated when that had happened... But she didn't know. She couldn't have known. She acted on a whim, and should have killed herself. She kept telling herself that for nearly a year, but she couldn't force herself to do it.<br/><br/>Now though, now that she knew they were dead, she could die in peace. She couldn't live with herself anymore; That was out of the picture. She couldn't even remember her own name. "Please, I need to use the toilet," she said, her voice suddenly calm, as if all of her problems had been swept out of the Merlin in one gasp.
