As soon as the door slides open, Malcolm's eyes widen in horror and fury. A fist lashes out hitting the metal at the side of the doorframe, and a trickle of blood runs down his wrist. "FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!" the scream echoes and reverberates throughout the entire ship as his anger lends itself to his voice.

Bring back the engine if you find it. Bring back anything native that looks like it might taste good," he says absentmindedly, wiping the blood from his hand before turning back to the wrecked section and beginning to organize the various equipment still intact, wondering how he'd repair the hull itself, much less get an engine back in place.<br/><br/>After all, while he was a cruel man, he wasn't without any sort of morals or humanity.
