Just after couple of minutes of walking, Kyo was stopped by short beeping noise from the sound transmission device. After Kyo placed finger behind his ear to answer ‘‘Yes, this is Kusanagi speaking.’’ second later he got reply one of female operators ‘‘This the Headquarters. Can you give us the status report?’’. This brunette just cracked a smile replied ‘‘We are inside NEST. So far it’s clear, nothing unusual. In this case, the only bother would be checking all the rooms tiredly. There is helluva a lot of ‘em. Heck, Shingo could go alone and he would be fine on his own, it’s too easy.’’. Operator remained silent for couple of seconds, but now even from that voice you could tell that she sounded concerned yet tried remain professional ‘‘… You shouldn’t let your guard-off so early. Stay aware and please, do not forget - you are not alone, you are responsible for this newbies safety as well. If anything happens, contact immediately. Please, stay safe…’’ after short pause, she continued ‘‘…Yagami started to give a weird look again. Do you have anything to tell him?’’.
Now Kyo gave the smuggest look on his face and replied in buoyant tone ‘‘Oi, Yagami, are you bothering a good young lady and not letting to do her job? Besides, you would have nothing to do here. It’s too boring. *sigh* In worst case, it may take couple of days to fully investigate all rooms. I’ll promise that I return by then. You won’t even notice it. So, relax, you have nothing to worry about. Have a faith in me, you idiot.’’ now he changed his tone to more formal one ‘‘This is Kusanagi. Over.’’…
Good couple hours has passed by wandering in endless corridors, which were surrounded by dead silent and just the sound of automatic door opening upon discovering what is inside of each room. However, either these rooms looked like it weren’t used even for years - rusty iron tables, scattered around useless papers or testing tubes, other tools, time from time even discovered the remains of supposed experiment objects. Most of these objects were innocent looking ones compared to later found ones. From rodents to other small animals, which corpses were dismembered and rotted, to even possibly an actual human being parts or it may resembled. No, it can’t be, even the worst and lowest scums couldn’t do that…Surely, even that stench still there, these NEST people could at least properly dispose these remains.
As Shingo and Kyo were discovering deep further, there was a buzzing sound of lights on ceiling. Eventually, the sound of singly water drops accompanied in this lonely ship. However, in some parts of corridor got completely dark.
Before entering the unknown darkness, Kyo asked Shingo to handle him flashlight, which he gave him during the trip. After lighting it up, where light touched the surface, it was visible that the corners of corridor looked like rusted, even so, it was not worth to find whenever it was true or not. However, as deeper as they go, they noticed a thin short dark brownish line, which got wider as they go. Eventually, it leaded to the bigger spot of this color liquid. After Kyo swallowed saliva, he pointed the flashlight towards the source of this liquid.
When light reached that object, it was clear - a leaning against wall headless rotting corpse, who was already been for long time and being eaten by the size of the finger maggots. That corpse…it why it looked so swollen and with such a thin and fragile skin? Under the skin there were enormous abscesses all over the body and could tear apart any second. As one of maggots tried to get into deeper tissues of this undead, the skin got damaged and the dark color liquid began to leak out. Surely, it made older brunette pale and nearly throwing out from that stench and such a sight. So, he instinctively covered his mouth and widen his eyes.
Unfortunately, the other soldier’s knees gave up on him as along that didn’t passed out. Seconds later, this older brunette kneels down and placed young Yabuki’s arm on his shoulder’s, this older brunette in nearly shaking tone said while helping him to stand up ‘‘Oi! Get yo self together! J-just don’t give up me, are you listening?!Hey!’’ it seems that it helped to almost return to his senses, yet Shingo still looked shocked. Poor kiddo and it’s his first mission too. Maybe it was his first time dealing with death as well. Even someone as Kyo felt bad for him with dealing with this later on. After walking further, there were no traces of head, maybe it was already eaten by these maggots yet it didn’t mattered.
As deeper they go, they managed to get into lighten up part of corridor. Even so, in some of discovered rooms, there were visible huge testing tubes, which stands so close one by another. Most of them contained humanoid like forms, it wasn’t quiet clearly whenever, these were failed experiments or other spieces. Whatever it was, it looked like hibernated for months but none of these soldiers of Resistance didn’t wanted to find out whenever behind glass of test tube life forms could answer to them.
However, it seems that there were singly test tubes, which were broken. Like someone tried to escape yet stuck to wander inside this spaceship for eternity. Someone might be lurking here and waiting. But where and then it will show up? Even the elder brunette now nervously bitten his lower lip. Heck, he felt that primal fear of being hunted down.
Hopefully, after this room, this couple were wandering in endless corridor with no rooms. A dead silence and no clear sign where this corridor ends. Just one second of letting guard down was enough. The loud buzzing sound of insect’s wings were behind them.
Right now Shingo has fallen on his knees and stayed paralyzed while shakingly holds in both of his hands and was pointing handhelded gun upwards behind his senior. Kyo didn’t even had a time even to turn back, but that sound of shooting towards target and it’s sudden falling down with squirting noises was enough to realize how close this elder brunette was close to his own doom. Shingo was all pale and while his breathing was rough and short, his eyes were filled with terror as he observed his shot down object, which lets out a dreadful short high-pitched meowing like scream.
A dark purplish color lump of meat and size of small animal, which resembled a brain yet it had a single eye in the center, pair of transparent color wings on top of this creature’s body, which were similar to insect’s, lastly, eight legs, which were similar to earthian spiders. This creature could barely keep it’s balance and while nearly leaning on it’s left side, tried crawl forward. Younger brunette couldn’t take anymore when this creature’s iris constricted like a reptile’s. Now Shingo closed his eyes and after letting out a scream filled with pure terror, began to rapidly shoot it down.
Most of his shots missed the the target, but even if the laser beam was nearly touching this creature’s body, it left a burn-marks. After aimless shots, this Yabuki managed to blast away this creature. Green ooze splattered everywhere along it’s body parts.
Meanwhile Kyo just silently observed this whole scene. He never felt so useless just by standing. It’s like his body refused to move even a singe muscle. That same feeling of unable to do anything like that one time during one of the missions when one of fellow soldiers were shot down, because of his one reckless mistake. The first encounter of death and realizing how life is such a fragile thing…It can be so easy and quickly taken.
However, right now Shingo opened his eyes and while hardly panting looked at ruined mess of this corpse. He couldn’t stay calm and didn’t tried to hide it, he asked ‘‘Just what a hell is thing?! Why this thing appeared? What a hell is wrong with this place?! Shit…’’ and began to shake his head nervously. He reached his limits and his so adored senior could see that clearly.
This Kusanagi perfectly knew that he shouldn’t feel pity and just carry on completing current mission, but heck, this kiddo could have a mental breakdown anytime. Plus, he would get all the blame, if anything would happen during this mission to this newbie. So, now this elder brunette kneels down and places his hand on Shingo’s shoulder. After awhile he prompts to go further yet the little they know that there is someone lurking out and that it would greet with fate worse than any death.
A/N: Well, this for now. Before next chapter I'm gonna prepare a warning tags, so that there wouldn't be any @me. One thing for sure, next time - this where the whole drama and begins. And like always - See you next time!~
