It's a normal day on the Skeld99. The stars outside the cafeteria windows shine as bright as the sun! The deep blue filled with purple, swirls of pink and cloud looking cosmos fill that part of space with beauty.

Sara sighs as she looks outside the cafeteria windows. Dread and fear fill her every second she thinks about going to fulfill her next task. She looks down and sees her young son gazing at the shooting stars passing by. He looked so amazed, like it was his first time.

She squeezed his hand, making him look up. He sees a worried expression on his mother's face as she looks outside. She then looks down and smiles at him.

Doctor Oliver then walks into the cafeteria from the left side after leaving medbay. He walks up to Sara and Aiden and waves.

"Hello there! It's been a while since I saw you last. Sorry about that, I can get so consumed in my experiments that I forget how long it's been."
He chuckes nervously.
"Oh it's quite all right! We all know how much you love science."

Sara seemed to hesitate to say something, but stopped. She then decided to get her question out.

"Doc, my next task is in electrical, and I really wouldn't want Aiden going in a hazardous place like that. So many wires on the ground, the walls, and well, you know the rest."
She let out a sigh.
"Would you be able to watch Aiden for me while I'm away doing my task?"

"Sure thing! I completely understand when it comes to the safety concern. I do wanna ask, are you okay? You seem stressed."
Sara smiled and chuckled a bit.
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me too much! I should be meeting my husband there too. That's why I needed to ask you to watch him for me."

Sara gets down on one knee and hugs Aiden tightly. She kisses him on the forehead and they say their goodbyes.

Sara and Ean meet up in electrical, gripping each others hands tightly. They walk in together when all of a sudden the power goes out and the doors shut.

A dark figure with a glowing red eye watches them from afar.
