Night shift:part 5(the last part).

Who:John Baily,Evil-looking monster-type thing
Where:Outside armoury room
When:11.50pm
Previously:A mutant created on Earth was banished into space in a
pod for killing thousands of humans.Landing on Blue Dwarf,it
devoured the entire crew except John Baily and a skutter.John
distracted the beast by throwing a fire extinguisher at it and
running to an Xpress lift.The Evil-looking monster-type thing tried
to get in and lost an arm in the door.John and the skutter ran to
the armoury room,got a bazookoid and waited outside.A one-armed
mnster approached them.It did not look pleased...
Important:The crew were not actually dead,but trapped inside the
monster,compressed down to the size of atoms.They had untill
midnight,when the creature would excreet his stomach contents,a
pprocess wich would kill them.John Baily did not know this,and even
if he had,he wasw much more concerned with saving his own worthless
skin.
The creature stared at John,with his horrible,snarling face,a look
of sheer loathing in his putrid eyes.John stared back,struggling to
hold his heavy weapon,on the verge of fainting.Great beads of sweat
randown his forehead.He heard terrified beeping noises coming from
behind him,Where the skutter was cowering,equally
frightened.Slowly,the Evil-looking monster-type thing approached
them,raising one monstrous arm into the air,anticipating a long-
desired kill.He reached his claws towards the helpless guard and-
BANG.John had finally managed to pull the trigger of his
bazookoid,and just in time,too.He dropped the weapon immediately
from the shock,and it landed on his alredy broken foot.John swore
loudly,before collapsing on a heap on the floor.
When John remained conciousness,he found himself in bed in the medi-
bay.He tried to get up,but almost fainted again.He had a searing
headache,and his foot was incredibly painful.Hours later,when he had
finally gathered up the strength to lift his head and look around.He
was shocked by what he saw.The crew were walking around,going about
their duties,as usual.They weren't dead!This was too much for John
to handle,and so he promptly fainted again.
After the beast had been killed the previous night,the entire crew
had emerged from the monsters stomach-five minutees before they
would have been killed-with absolutely no memory of what had
happpened.They decided eventually not to make too much of a fuss and
went back to their normal duties.Someone found John and took him to
the medi-bay.In the cruellest of ironies,Noone ever knew about the
one time he had ever done anything brave or heroic.It was because of
events like these,that John really hated the night shift.
Back on Earth,many years later,Ted Doyle,grandson of the late Jack
Doyle,continued Jacks work with mutants,dedicating his entire life
to creating a better mutant,one that would not kill humans,but help
them instead.In the end,he created a creature with the incredible
ability to change shape at it's own desire.This mutant had a
similair fate to it's predecessor,being sent away from Earth in a
pod.Unlike the Evil-looking monster-type thing,however,it missed
Blue Dwarf completely and drifted through space for millions of
years.When it eventually landed onboard a ship,it was in for a big
surprise...
