She ran into the bio-dome, past the remains of the door that Decker had broken through. The entrance to the fish-farm was strewn with smashed up electronics. She picked up a broken circuit board and showed it to Nills. “The remote comms unit. Annis was using this to send her report back to mission control.”

They heard a moan. “Annis?” Jann ventured down the long tunnel and spotted the first officer sitting on the ground with her back to the wall. “Annis… are you okay?”

The first officer looked up and glared. She had a vacant, gaunt look in her eyes. “Malbec?” She held her head in her hand and Jann could see it was covered in blood.

“Decker’s gone crazy… attacked me with a steel bar… totally berserk.” She looked up and her eyes widened with fright. She shifted and started to back away. “Malbec, there’s someone out there?” she pointed to towards the entrance.

“It’s alright Annis. This is Nills Langthorp, a colonist.”

Nills waved.

“Is that… a robot?”

“Yes, that’s Gizmo.”

Gizmo raised his hand to wave. “Greetings Earthling.”

Annis stared at the pair for a moment. “So he’s the ghost we’ve been hunting.”

“Yes, he was hiding out.”

“And where’s that crazy bastard Decker?”

“Gone. Left the Colony a few hours ago. Went back to the HAB.”

“The others?”

Jann hesitated. “Paolio is pretty banged up. Kevin and Lu are… dead.”

“Oh fuck.” Annis slumped down and held her head. ”What a mess.”

“Come, let’s get you to the medlab.” Jann helped her up.

As they moved out into the bio-dome Nills came over. “We have work to do in the garden here. I’ll check in on you later.”

“Sure, thanks.”
