Everyone was woken up from their sleep before they exited FTL. They all gathered in the bridge to go over the plan. Everyone but the Android, Five and Seven would go to the freighter. Seven didn't disagree with this plan, she really doesn't want to go there, there's just something about that place, something bad.
When they had finished talking about the plan, the Android informed the crew that they were exiting FTL. Once they did, Seven froze in her spot. She stared at the freighter, in complete fear.
Her freezing didn't go unnoticed. Two looked from Seven and followed her sight line. When she saw that she was looking in fear at the freighter, she placed a hand on her shoulder. Though, it wasn't a good thing she did. When Two placed a hand on Seven, it snapped her out of her thoughts, it snapped her out of the very thing that was keeping her from wanting to cry and hide away. Hiding away from what was on that freighter.
So when Two placed a hand on her shoulder, Seven stumbled back and fell to the floor. This caught everyone's attention. Seven started whispering that they were in danger and they couldn't go to the freighter, but no one heard what she said.
Two kneeled down next to the frantic and fearful girl, but didn't get the chance to say anything. Seven took one more look out the window and at the freighter, before getting up and running away, clutching her head.
Two looked at everyone, and they all gave each other looks.
"What the hell was that about?" Three asks.
Two looks to Five, but she just shrugs. "I don't know, um... I'm going to try to find her, see what happened. Good luck on the job," Five says walking out of the bridge, trying to figure out where Seven could have ran off to.
...
When Five found Seven, she found her inside the walls. There is a secret compartment inside the wall, most likely used to smuggle contraband when they can't put it inside the vault.
Seven had ran right to it, opened up the secret compartment, and curled up into a ball, covering her head. Five couldn't get inside the little compartment, but she had tried to get Seven out. Nothing worked. All Five could hear Seven say was, "There monsters, there are monsters near. They'll stay there, it'll still be there." She repeated this line multiple times.
Five couldn't do anything, after a while she went to the bridge to check on the others, and try and ask the Android about something that could help them with their memories. Five got a hunch that the Android wouldn't be able to do anything about Seven until the others got back from the mission. Hopefully, she'd calm down and come out herself.
Five walked into the bridge, "How's it going?"
"They've gained access to the ship. So far so good."
"Okay. Well in the meantime, do you think I can drag you away for a sec?"
"I highly doubt that. Despite your low center of gravity, you possess neither the strength not the stamina to pull my body weight over any significant distance."
"No, I mean could you help me with something?"
"Of course. I, on the other hand, possess the strength and the stamina to convey you with great ease. No dragging required."
"Whoa. No I just need your help with something in the infirmary. No heavy lifting."
"Okay."
Five ended up finding out about a memory store card that could access pockets of space. Though she didn't want anyone else to find out about it. Seven knows though, it calmed her some, but it wasn't enough to get her out of the hole in the wall.
