There was a bit of a delay and some hesitancy in Jess’ voice when she replied. “Shit, that’s…” Her voice trailed off for a moment. “Look, if you don’t want to go digging around corpses, I understand.  We’ll figure it out down here eventually.”

It was hard to say how long the bodies had been here, exactly, as being in a vacuum would prevent any decay from taking place, and indeed there were no signs of it on either of the bodies on the floor. Although, Light could spot some early hints of decomposition on the covered body with the stab wounds. The clothes they wore were company-issued, and they had symbols on them that likely denoted position or rank, but as they were symbols instead of translatable words, Light did not know which was which. In any case, the manifest was not on any of the three bodies. 

Aside from the bodies themselves, there were compartments near each of the four bunks with space for belongings. There were also stacks of boxes in one corner of the room, though based on the opened ones he could see, it was likely they contained rations and medical supplies. He could spend some time searching the room, or move through the door on the far side of the module to the cockpit.
