"I actually enjoy gravity, thank you!"
Something very wrong was happening right now. While he did not know exactly what, judging by the sudden screeching of the alarms, sporadic rumbling of the entire ship, what sounded like a distant explosion, rocking through the entirety of the ship before suddenly being silenced, Kaiden just had that strange feeling like things had gone to the gutter and quick.
"...Eh?"
Kaiden's composure was not entirely intact. He, of course, was nothing more than a civilian, so whatever was going on in the ship was definitely startling him. He wondered if there had been a malfunction on the ship? Maybe something broke? But that was impossible. His father was one of the people aboard the ship, and nothing he touched could just 'break', even if it were alien. He was just that good, and anybody who knew him would say the exact same thing. So then... were they attacked by somebody? That too was unlikely. The security around this area was nothing to laugh at, and there would have been warning that gave ample time to react if they were being assaulted. So then... what was it? Curious, Kaiden could do nothing but go and see what was happening in the rest of the ship, so he decided to exit the cargo bay and venture forwards.
It was around this time that the ship began to rumble with unmatched intensity. As he exited the cargo bay and into a hall, lights began to flicker and the ship violently shook hard enough for Kurou to nearly fall flat on his face, forcing him to grab the nearest wall for support. However, as he stumbled, he noticed something laying on the ground, quite out of place. It was a handgun, though his inexperience with anything to do with the military prevented him from recalling the name of the gun. Damn, John would never shut up if he knew I forgot! Kaiden recalled one of his 'friends' who had a significant more amount of interest in firearms than Kaiden ever did. It was because of that kid that Kaiden had been able to learn how to fire a weapon to defend himself, even if only barely. But it would probably be good to have this in case things went sour for him, so Kaiden took the gun when he'd finally regained his balance, holding it in his right hand with the barrel pointed towards the floor. However, he only managed to get to the end of the hallway and begin to open the door at the end when the vessel he was aboard jerked so violently he wasn't even able to attempt to keep his stance, sending him flying forwards, fated to slam face-first into the cold floor of the hallway (not that he would be able to feel it, given his head being protected by the helmet of his suit).
Kaiden's world suddenly went black.....
....and then he felt a sharp pain on his back as he slammed into a wall, which completely caught him off guard.
"Owowowow! What the hell...!?" he cried out in pain, but slamming into a wall wasn't the thing that bugged him most. Kaiden began to feel a bit nauseous as his body awkwardly spun through the hallway, all while being unable to see as the lights had completely shut off. One could say he was flying blind, but then he'd probably punch them for making such a stupid remark. It took a moment, but the young man managed to reach an arm out and stop himself by gripping a wall. Of course, that was not all he had to do, as he was still unsure how he was oriented. Wait, these things should have a built-in light somewhere aroun.... ah, there. Kaiden pressed a button on the side of his helmet and within a second, the area was illuminated with spotlight strength.... for about five seconds. The light then flickered and dimmed considerably, only allowing him to see what was immediately in front of him..
"Fucking suit...." he cursed. "Well... it's better than nothing." deciding to look on the bright side, Kaiden then used the light to find the ground, and oriented his body accordingly. And now that he was done with that, he would have to figure out just what the hell happened to the ship. At this point, Kaiden was not able to deny the fact that there was likely a malfunction within the ship that caused all of this. Perhaps... his parents really had made some kind of mistake? Was it possible that "somebody" they implanted in the ship rebelled? He could not know for sure, so he continued on, finally making his way through the hallway to the door he was opening when the ship suddenly threw him. Kaiden found himself pressing the button to open the door about three times before it dawned on him that there was no power to supply said door, evoking rosy-red cheeks, though nobody could see them, thankfully. But that meant the door was not going to open anymore than it already was, which was just barely too narrow a passage for Kaiden to squeeze through. Having managed to hold on to the gun up until this point, Kaiden dropped the firearm for a minute, allowing it to float while he stuck his fingers between the crack between the doors and with a great deal of exertion, succeeded in prying them open.
This is much too much work for someone like me. Ugh...
The room he entered was... well, not really something he would care to call a "room" at this point. Kaiden felt that rooms were sections of a building or structure that were closed off, typically by a door so as to allow access in and out. But the thing he entered was missing a giant chunk of itself, giving the young man a look out into the depths of dead space. He stared at the hole for a moment, taking time to register. "Ah, so the hull's been compromised....? Nothing big, right? Ahaha..." Wasn't this supposed to be the crew quarters? Seems kinda empt--- a sudden chill ran through his body when he noticed a very important detail he'd missed before. "...where is everybody?" there weren't even bodies or anything floating around. The ship seemed to be dead-empty, save for himself. Something was very wrong here. Did they abandon the ship? If so, then what was he going to do? Was he stranded? Kaiden was beginning to despair when some shape caught his attention out of the corner of his eye, the light on his suit doing little to help him identify what it was. Panicked and assuming god knows what, Kaiden hurriedly took lifted up his right hand which held the gun, pointed it at the shape and.....
