Back on the bridge Reggie used a moment that the monster that used to be the captain wasn't looking to slip behind the edge of the door, but he daren’t try anything else for fear of sending the monster into a frenzy again. From the looks of it he'd already been set off once and was beyond reasoning and help.

“Crud. This is bad” he breathed almost silently, his heart pumping with what felt like the force of a supernova, sending blood coursing through his body, his muscles pumping furiously. He hadn't felt like this in years, the raw fear of staring down an enemy that could seriously hurt him, he had thought those days were gone.

As he was trying to come up with some sort of plan in case Jamie was uncooperative he heard through his neural implant “Coded message to medical staff, Feral is inbound, preparing cell for new visitor, wait out”.

Oh thank god, he is coming. Thought Reggie, breathing a sigh of relief. His heart swelling with hope, knowing that underneath all the trauma, all the distrust, he was still good at heart. This made Reggie almost smile in spite of the situation. Then he heard it, a grating noise that sounded like metal on metal. It was close… Too close.

As he dared to look up, he stared straight into the face of madness. A haunting visage of what used to be the Captain staring straight at him with eyes that looked like they were bulging out of his distended head, a mouthful of aluminium blaster casing as it chewed on it. Noticing him move to look up the creature screamed, a bloodcurdling screech that sounded like it was from the depths of hell, peppered with clicks and snarls.
