Forgotten world

Haunted ship

Sun takes hold of Whisper's hand as they make their way a long corridor that is only been partly illuminated by shafts of sunlight coming through the small windows. The eery creaking and moaning of the ship give it a real creepy vibe that makes the young lad a little unsure about continuing in.

"Do not allow your imagination to get the better of you," instructs Whisper pulling him close.

"I like the way he said that with such calm when I stand by what I said before, something is wrong with this ship."

"I tell you now, Zhù, there is no such thing as fear. You need to look at it more logical."

"Logical, he says, when I have men trapped and two of his have been hurt. This ship is haunted, hopefully, by just a robot that is not working correctly. What if it is someone you went down with her."

Whisper links arms with him and smiles. "I love your what if's theories. You do realise it could be just another one of those inorganic lifeforms causing problems, as it searches the ship for zinc and copper."

"See, this is why I had to get him," stats Zhù. "He is always the rational thinker. I like the idea of it sucking on our tools and going yuck and dropping it when all it gets is iron. That is why we are finding them in odd places."

Sun laughs at the idea of a dust lifeforms chewing on a screwdriver as it makes it way through the empty ship.

They soon begin to hear voices speaking in another language.

"Major, how's it going."

The man turns around and performs a shallow bow. "My lord Zhù, we have tried everything. We just cannot seem to get the door open."

Whisper takes a step back, he gracefully puts up his left hand and sings:

"I command you to open."

Suddenly the door shoots back and three men come falling out. They quickly pick themselves up and bow.

"Lord Whisper, how did you do that?"

"Simple, I just used my abilities to trigger the sensor in the top of the doorframe. Some of them appear to be a little out of alinement. In a way it is not surprising when this ship has been sitting on a moon for centuries."

Wǔyè emits a throaty chuckle and declares, "Now see we did not think of that. Thank you, Lord Whisper."

"Think a little bit out of the box and use your abilities on it when you have ruled everything else out."

"You're right, Lord Whisper, we will do that," replies the Major perfuming a slight bow.

"Quick question are you three all right?"

"Yes, Lord Zhù. There was nothing in side the room harm us," replies one of the men with a smile.

"Good to hear."

Whisper looks around and asks, "How were my men hurt?"

"Wǎnjiān, can answer that," informs one the other officers pointing his hand down the corridor. "He is still in the medical analysing. As that is where the accident happen, Sir."

Wǔyè performs a quick bow. "This way, Lord Whisper."

They continue along another short corridor and soon arrive at the large medical room. It is equip with bio beds and equipment Sun does not even recognise.

"Wǎnjiān, what have you discovered so far?" Zhù asks in a soft voice.

All three men stop what they are doing and preform shallow bows.
