Session 2 - Alien on Board

• The crew made rather informal introductions with each other; deciding to hold off on more formal things until they had a chance to listen to R's video will aboard the ship. 
• Upon entering the ship bay, the crew saw that the ship was in mixed condition. While it was functional and seemed to have been recently repaired, there were obvious signs that the ship had been in some sort of conflict. The nature of the damage suggested that the ship had been fired upon and that it had been breached from the underside. 
• Of two entrances, the group opted for the cargo bay hold instead of the airlock on this three-tiered ship. Prior to entering, the group encountered the ship's malfunctioning AI. The group was afforded entrance thanks to past connections with R, but it was clear that the memory cores of the ship had been damaged and left untouched.

• The group explored the cargo bay hold, a maintenance and kitchen area, the airlock, and the deck of the ship on the second tier. The crew discovered mysterious signs that pointed to an assault from an outside force. However, rather than mercenaries or pirates, signs pointed to xenos as a result of the acidic damage and claw marks. 
• The locks on the doors (hand pads) were all but malfunctioning. Sometimes the AI could be convinced to open a door, but other times they had to be bypassed through some wire tripping.
• In the air lock, a massacre of some sort had taken place as the walls, floor, and ceilings were covered in dry blood.
• Stray shots from a plasma weapon could be seen.
• The stairs to the lower deck seemed to have been barricaded. The crew took the time to remove the barricade. 

• At the deck of the ship, the group discovered that the room had been secured by blowing out the lock with a plasma weapon. The group managed to find a way in though where they discovered an inert android body in the captain's chair. It looked like she had been the one last piloting it, but the batteries had died.
• Nikki opt'd to try and get the camera system working, though it was a drain on the ship's backup power. It wouldn't be an issue if the group could get below deck and make the necessary repairs.
• Below deck seemed to be worse; a living hive of damaged wires and circuits along with consistent steam and other obscuring materials. 
• Some members of the group had reason to belief something was slinking around in the ventilation shaft; ranging in size from a small dog to a large rat.
• The group made it to the core; where the repairs would need to be made. However, slinking in the obscuring steam, was the presence of an unidentified xeno...
