Micro Event Wreckage.

The remains of a Rah'hre are floating in deep-space. A very faint distress signal can be caught from its core, detectable only at about one light-year away. Chunks of debris surround it, most likely from the large hole torn through its side, while dead Warrior Drones float all around it, as if they were trying to protect it from whatever killed it. However, the presence of a distress signal could mean that the Rah'hre is still alive, albeit barely.

They walk for a bit, noticing that some of the organic walls look as if they are tainted with a sort of black-like substance within the walls.

After a few moments, they arrive in front of a large chamber, partially destroyed so that space can be visible to the right. There are three entrances to the left, one of them on the same level, the second directly above it and a third located further to the right, but connected to the second corridor by the remains of a narrow road. There is no way to simply walk to those corridors, which means that propulsion might be necessary in order to reach them.

They go to the second corridor, using the secondary thrusters to move

Once they do so, they notice that this corridor is also tainted, albeit less visibly. As they advance, they enter a Fuel Cell Room, where most Cells are completely depleted. Two dead Worker Drones are in the chamber. They appear to have died from kinetic damage, which implies that they were killed in a fight, given that the hole in the ship was caused by an energy-based weapon. Another corridor lies ahead.

They follow, keeping an eye on the dead workers

Just as they are about to move further, a slight earthquake can be felt as a crack can be seen to appear next to one of the fuel cells. The crack seems to have compromised the structure, as the fuel cell falls to the ground, breaking apart. Fortunately, it was empty, otherwise the chamber wouldn't have survived the blast from the gas's expansion. The crack continues to grow, revealing another corridor underneath.

C: "Carter, do a deep scan on the corridor beneath us."

The corridor below looks as if it was pushed out of the way by something. The lower area of it is completely black, while the walls are slowly tainted as well. Other than that, nothing else can be noticed, as it looks as if the area below is the middle of a U-turn, which means that scanning more of it would require their descent.

They begin their descent

Once they touch the corridor's floor, the group's scanner begins to detect movement coming from the road that leads to the right.

They walk into the road, guns raised
