Seymour in Stasis

As the door to Seymour's stasis pod opened, he immediately heard an annoying banging sound. This instantly put him into a bad mood, and trying to get his wheelchair over the lip of the stasis pod's door made him even more annoyed.

He pushed himself out into the centre of the stasis deck and saw a commotion near the far end, where some people (including Davie) were hammering planks of wood and metal over the door.
“What's going on here?” He demanded. “And why is this place such a mess? It's filthy, I demand someone clean this place up at once! We might have a JMC spot check at any moment!”

Cass pulled Seymour off to one side, spinning him around. “How dare you, don't you know who I am?” He said annoyed at being pushed. He hadn't realised who she was until now. You. You're that hooker aren't you?”
“Err... erotic dancer.” Cass corrected him.
“Yes you. What are you doing here?” he demanded.
“You... might be suffering from some stasis sickness...” Cass explained to him. “Do you remember what happened? We're lost in space and now we've been in stasis for 3 million years.”
“Of course I know all that!” Seymour said. “I'm not an idiot, I'm-”
“-A Royal Ambassador, yes I know.” Said Cass. “But there's no members of the Royal Family here, we left Queen Brittany with the Mollopods.”
“I was going to say... before I was rudely interrupted... I'm the Managing Director of the JMC.”
“What?!” Cass said.
Seymour nodded. “Now stop making that awful racket!” He shouted at Davie, who was still barricading the door. “You're doing it all wrong, that's an automatic door, you can't just nail things across it – it'll still open you buffoon!”

Just as Seymour said this, the door did indeed slide open. One of the clawed monsters they'd seen before swiped the barricade and knocked Davie's handiwork aside like a momentary distraction. The monster was 7 foot tall, with brown leathery skin and a huge upper body that made its legs look tiny in comparison.

Several security officers fired on the creature, it merely roared and reached out with it's large claw and squeezed the closest around the middle until his head exploded from the pressure.

“Don't just do something, kill it!” Seymour shouted, pointing from his wheelchair at Davie who fired a bazukoid but missed.

The creature stomped into the stasis deck, walking alongside the stasis pods. Davie fired again, catching the creature on his back. The bazukoid shell exploded, knocking the creature forward but not killing it.
“WAIT, what are you doing?!” Seymour yelled at Davie.
“What you told me to, I'm shooting at it!” the security officer shouted back.
“You'll hit the stasis pods you fool! There are crewmembers in those, including the Captain!”

The creature spun around, scraping his huge claw against the wall and severing wires which sparked, and bursting pipes which sprayed gas into the room.
Davie ignored Seymour and fired again, this time catching the creature on the chin. It staggered backwards, then in a fit of rage started to charge towards the exit.

Unfortunately, Davie stood directly in the way and got scooped up by the monster's claws. He tried to squeeze free but the creatures' grip was tight.

Ducking to get through the door whence it came, the creature ran away taking Davie with him back to it's lair.

“Follow it!” Seymour shouted, then looked around the empty Stasis deck for someone else to order about, but there was no-one except Cass, a few security officers who looked like they couldn't arrange a piss-up in a brewery and some medics. “Can we bring more people out of Stasis? Rosette?”
Cass walked over and assessed the damage the creature has made to the stasis pods. She shook her head. “It's torn the restoration manifold, we can't bring anyone else out of stasis...”

Seymour wheeled himself over the metal deckplates, and avoided the bodies. He wiped the condensation from the glass of Amber's pod. “We can't get the Captain out?”
Cass shook her head.

<OOC – Tag Cass, shall we go and find the creature? Davie, where has the creature taken you to? It its lair somewhere that we already know? If so how does it look after 3 million years? Also this gives you chance to meet Alfredo Gomez the spanish Engineer who was kidnapped earlier!>
