The Parasite

Return

DAY 413 - 20XX / 7 / 23
____________________

I have just returned from the Supply Run on the meteor and request access from Martin to allow me to attach the drone to Shuttle. But just to my luck... He doesn't answer. I then create a direct comms line to HQ to take control and allow access. Thankfully they receive the message and once again the message appears on my screen: *ACCESS GRANTED* I then proceed to enter the Shuttles landing zone and wait for the the trapdoor to close allowing me to safely exit the drone. However once he returns to the cafeteria of the shuttle, Martin is sitting there emotionless staring into the roof. 

"Hey Martin... You ok?"  I ask cautiously. I wait a few silent moments and then something seems to click and then he looks around with a confused look and then his eyes land on me. He then stares for a few blank moments, Then walks off to his dormitory. although right before he shuts his door. He says this
"Oh yeah! someone arrived around an hour ago. Dunno who but they were really friendly." this of course comes as a surprise to me. There had been no notice or warning that someone would be arriving at the shuttle. I then make myself some scrambled eggs on toast and follow it up with a steaming coffee. 

Around 10 minutes later, A women walks in on me clearing my plate, I was confused for a moment... then remembered that Martin mentioned someone arriving.
"Hello, the names Niko"  I quickly said trying to not be rude.
"Hi Niko the names..." she pause for a moment as though trying to remember what her name was.
"Amelia." she replied after a short moment. At that point I was going to ask why she had arrived at the station, but then quite suddenly there was a small BANG like the one I heard on my return the shuttle, and then came a deafening scream. I immediately started running towards Martins room seeing as he was the only other known person here. I had arrived at his door.
"MARTI- " suddenly the screaming has stopped as suddenly as they began. I was confused had he been harmed? But at that moment the door opened. And there stood Martin with no apparent injuries.
