[Neraphym]

Neraphym: "Who is?"

[Darkness]

Her eyes lock onto yours, as if she hadn't noticed you were there before. "Who are you?"

[Neraphym]

Neraphym: "I am Neraphym. You are on an Aphorite starship. Your ship was picked up adrift. What happened? We are under attack by Karlorons. Did your ship suffer the same fate?"

[Darkness]

"Karlorons? No... We were attacked by Corroria while escaping from Eartheia. They believed us to be smugglers. They blasted a whole in our fuel tanks and we ran out of fuel. I suffered injuries from the blasts that hit our ship."

[Neraphym]

Neraphym: "I must restore power to the ship. Hide here."

Neraphym runs through the door and past the emergency escape hatch.

[Darkness]

You arrive at another door. It opens to reveal another hallway, like the one you are in and the one previous to it. There is only a door to your left and another emergency hatch to your right. It looks like there is a lift at the end of this hallway.

[Neraphym]

Neraphym checks the door on the left.

[Darkness]

You appear to be in the auxiliary power core. There is a door across the room that likely goes into another hallway. There is a computer terminal in the center of the room. This room is much like the room you had found with the power crystal panels, for it has many of those as well, but this room has a computer terminal.

[Neraphym]

Neraphym logs ontot he computer and accesses the menu.

[Neraphym]

Activate auxiliary power systems

[Darkness]

There is the sound of the whirring of electrical systems activating, and then it seems that most of the necessary systems have become operational again.

The door across the room opens. Many small, head sized, yellowish fleshy creatures crawl in at a rather quick speed. Some of them move across the walls. They move almost as if they are not as affected by gravity as much as most would be. Perhaps they have some sort of air sac.

[Neraphym]

Neraphym returns to the hall and makes a dash for the lift. He heads next to the hangar.

[Darkness]

As you pass by, you see that Atrya has been dragging the corpses of the soldiers that the other Aphorite killed into the morgue. All four are now in there. She sees the creatures flooding out behind you and retreats into the morgue, sealing the door.

You are now on the hangar level. The guards who were previously posted by the lift are gone.

[Neraphym]

Neraphym looks for a way to eject the ship into space. He also searches for a way to contact Vurivin.
