The bowls of the Monolith

"so, which way?" questions Jack, with a bit too much innocence in his
voice.

John consulted the wall chart. The ship, the green december looked to
be a capital class battlecruiser. He grinned, he could picture it
now, at the forefront of vast armada of ships, exploring the universe
for signs of alien life, large battles, engulfing entire races and
galaxies, exotic alien women... it was something he had dreamed of,
and now, he was on one. Tara was looking impatient 'So then, where
the hell do we go, im starting to get restless here!!' Jack was also
looking twitchy, his last act of boredom had left a large gapeing
hole in the wall behind them, where.. something.. had been, hadnt
it... 'Lets get to the bridge, there should be the ships black box
there, or at least the cpatains journal' Jack went to the wall,
flicked a switch revealing a large blade on the underside of his
weapon, and tore off the chart 'We may need this, this things a hell
of a lot bigger than the dwarf!' They headed upwards....
Various probes were activated, the ship knew that once agian had a
crew...
'Damn, are going round i circles here, we must of been walking for
half an hour, and we havent even found anythinmg worth steal...
salvaging yet' whined Jack. Tara looked at the map, her torch
flickerd slightly. 'It says here were approaching the officers mess.'
'Well, lets get going then already!'
The ship groaned, its systems were rebooting, and coming online,
slowly, yet surely
The party were walking faster now, they didnt know why, but it seemed
the right thing to do. They appraoched a door, its activation console
was functional, John lent down to press it. 'Weve been and hour on
this bloody thing, and wwe havent found anything at all, no scutters,
no terminals, no cre... HOLY SHIT!!!!' The door had slid open, strewn
across the table was a rotting body of what they only assumed was a
previous crew member. Tara stepped forwards, the room seemed empty
apart fom an access tunnel in the far wall. She looked at the
body. 'Hes dead...' 'NO SHIT!' 'Hes been dead a while if you ask me,
i cant tell how unless we got him back to the shuttle' 'Theres not a
bloody chance tht things coming on the shuttle with me!' 'Fine, well,
that lift back there was busted, and the map says were a hell off a
long way from the bridge, i say we go up here and investigate the
next floor, it says its... Training facilities' said tara, with an
authorical tone that neither of the other two wished to question.
