Zaynab says to the others, as softly as it is possible to do and still be heard over the noise, "Someone's up there on one of the walkways. The question is, are they friend or foe? Amir, can your drone take a discrete look? Maybe that will tell us something."

Amir nods, ordering his drone upwards, to sweep the walkways with its light.

The drone drifts up towards the walkways clinging to the side of the huge engine, it's light sweeping from left to right as it goes. On the third level, Amir sees movement, a pair of long legs clad in grey moving behind a stack of boxes on the scaffolding.

"Keep an eye on him," Fayz says quietly. Stowing his gun behind his back, the soldier begins to climb the nearest ladder, softly muttering a prayer to the Gambler as he ascends.

"Let's corner 'em together." Basil ascends the ladder behind Fayz and takes a separate rout up to their stalker's hiding spot on the third level.

Amir nods. His rifle has a pretty impressive range, but he's at a terrible angle. But best not everyone goes spider climbing, so he puts his back to a wall, and focuses on piloting the drone to keep the long-legged person in the spotlight.

Zaynab draws her stun gun, wondering how they had all decided this person was hostile and that this had to turn into a gunfight. For all they knew, the person could be trying to hide from what they feared were hostile intruders. With the others already climbing, however, it was too late to say anything.

The figure disappears behind an oil drum and suddenly, the ship intercom crackles into life again, ”The darkness is loose onboard. Leave us and live out your days in peace.”

Basil closes in on the hiding spot, ignoring the intercom. "We know you're there," he barks. "We're turning power back on. Soon as we know you're not gonna be trouble, sooner we can get on with it, so just come out."

Zaynab breaths a quiet sigh of relief as Basil tries negotiation. With the repeated announcements though, she wonders if the crew of this ship are in their right minds. Or if something truly horrifying has happened here.
