Gheno was ready when Kale floated the last small section over to the rear of the ship. This time Ayia and Gheno waited in the pilot’s cabin while Kale depressurized the rear of the ship, allowing the large hatch in the rear to open. He floated the cylinder in and followed right behind it. He brought the cylinder down in the middle of the ‘Hall’, with the large case nearly taking up half the room. He sealed the hatch back up and asked Gheno to pressurize the ship again over the intercom. Air hissed into the room as Kale unhooked his helmet and set it down on the table. Gheno came rushing in as soon as the cabin door opened. Ayia followed slowly behind him.

Gheno rushed over to the small hatch that led into the reactor room and pulled out a cable. He dragged it over to the cylinder and nearly fell when the cable came up too short. Kale brought the cylinder in the wrong way and the section where the cables hooked into it was on the far side now and he didn’t have enough cable to reach to it.

Kale realized what he had done and hurried to attach the gravity discs back on to see if he could spin it around. After he cut the cables it took him nearly thirty minutes to get back into the ship. It took him five minutes just to open the bridge doors enough to get the cylinder through. He kicked himself for not doing that before he cut the cables. He had no idea how long the AI could last without power but he didn’t want to risk anything.

Gheno started to shout after him to hurry up and Kale responded equally as loud to be quiet. Ayia slipped past them to the cylinder and looked inside. The sight of the lifeless girl tugged at her memories. Images of past friends, girls, all playing together flooded her mind. She was instantly reminded of her father and her shoulders slumped. It was then that she thought she noticed movement in the cylinder just as Kale bumped into her trying to reach around her.

“Kale, it’s not going to turn, it’s too tight in here. We need to vent and take it out and bring it in again,” Gheno shouted as he dropped the cable and started to run towards the pilot’s cabin.

Just as he ran past the cylinder, a loud hiss filled the room. The clear cover on the cylinder turned from solid to gas and the fog spilled over to the floor. Gheno jumped back up against the couch on the wall in a shriek. Kale, who was on the floor next to the cylinder attaching one of the discs jumped at the sound of the hiss and slammed his head onto the bottom of the table he crawled under. Ayia stared wide-eyed at the cylinder, in disbelief, and began stepping back away from it.

“Damn it Gheno, what did you do?” Kale growled, rubbing his head.
