The science lab was damp and dark. There were lab coats caked with blood across the floor and the consoles were flickering. He gingerly walked across the room toward the panel attempting not to stumble. He reached under the panel and pulled out the wires. Methodically he stripped them and arranged them until the panel had a solid glow. He visibly smiled at his skills as he began to search for ship logs. The room has a foul odor, so he activated the emergency lights. As the lights flickered on he noticed something by the wall behind the panel. He looked around the edge and gasped. A male scientist lay there deceased with his chest ripped open and a horrifed expression on his face. The blood was dried around the wound and the smell suggested he had been dead for a while. He kneeled over body examining it intently. "Something burst out of his chest cavity? Interesting" He was not replused, just curious. He resumed his search. A file came across the screen that had attached video. "Press play! I hope its not Leo's porn stash." Reluctantly, he played the video. On the screen he saw the now deceased scientist, one of those spider like creatures and a cryotube. The cryotubes were used while in flight to preserve samples for further study. Leo was placing the dead looking creature inside. Suddenly, it leapt out of his hand and attached to his face. He giggled slightly " Its hugging his face...that looks so inappropriate and sexually suggestive...am I right?" He asked the deceased lab technician. Naturally, the corpse did not reply. He continued watching. The creature released after some time and appeared dead itself. The man rose, stumbled slightly, but appeared fine. He sat down on the bio bed and took notes. He glanced at the bed with a yellow notepad lying on the floor beside it. The video continued for 6 hours. "Its break time. I am not watching all 6 hours at once." He sat on the bed and began flipping through the notebook. Everything was time stamped with labels.
9am - normal vitals
10am - normal vitals
12pm- increased heart rate and body temperature
2pm - I am so hungry
That was the last entry. "Brilliant! Lets fast forward to 3pm."
He watched intently as 3pm was relived. The man grabbed his chest and screamed in agony as it bulged out. Finally, a crunching sound and then he saw it. "Oh my love! Your so beautiful!" A tear fell from his eye. "I never imagined I would witness your birth. I feel so close to you." He copied the file, placed it in his pocket and climbed into another vent. "I am going to impress her...it...doesnt matter. I am going to prove my love!" He crawled toward the bridge of the ship hoping he could restore some power from there. He was determined to make a better second impression.
