"In space, no one can hear you scream"
_Alien
"We had all heard the rumors before. I mean come on, what salvage crew in sector three hadn't about The Argonautica? Hell, you could even visit one of the further sectors of the galaxy and still hear talk about the cursed ship that had been left adrift in the void after getting caught in the middle of a battle that had rendered it inoperable and its entire crew dead all those years ago. Cursed. Could you believe that? I sure as hell didn't, and neither did anyone else on the crew. Why would we? We were in serious need for money, and with those crazy rumors keeping everyone else from cashing in on The Argonautica we would have to be the biggest idiots this side of the Ursa Major not to cash in right? That was what I thought twelve hours ago, but not anymore. Oh god I was so wrong, WE were so wrong. We came aboard thinking this would be a cinch, then....then we started hearing things moving in the darkness and seeing shadows in the corners of our eyes. I thought it was just our nerves getting to us after hearing all of those tales and finally getting on the ship, but then, oh god, then I saw one of THEM. It was like nothing I had ever seen, I barely managed to avoid puking on myself before it came at us. It went for Barry, our security officer first, it *sob* it tore him in half, just...just right in two like he was made of nothing. W-we managed to get away, but one by one our team was picked off. Now its just me. I managed to lock myself in one of the barracks but I can hear them scraping at the door, and theres this god awful humming sound throughout the ship. *more sobbing* Sarah...Sarah baby, if you see this I just want you to know that daddy loves you very much sweetie. I love you so-"
The message cuts off there. You don't know how many times you and your team had watched the video that had come along with the distress call from The Argonautica. It was standard protocol for any extraction team to review a distress call's audio or video multiple times for the sake of memorizing who they were sent to retrieve and to get a decent idea of what they were walking into. But this time something seems different. You've all seen videos of people under attack, but nothing came close to the look of sheer terror on that man's face. Something about this mission just feels wrong, but you can't quite place your finger on what it is. Whatever the case, you've seen your fair share of crazy shit. This one mission can't be that bad, right?
Technically speaking, I tried this a bit earlier to no avail, but this is still more or less the first RP i've created on *this* sight, so i'm hoping it does fairly well. It's pretty heavily inspired by the Alien and Dead Space franchises, so be prepared for some gore and frights galore.
