Newcomer

"Do you guys have transportation." 009 asked.

"Dude we walked here." Amythest said nonchalant.

"How far." He asked.

"About 4.2 human miles away."

He stepped ahead of them going down a different hallway. "Follow me." He said.

They were walking toward the hangar when they passed by one of the outer walls of the ship when they saw where one of the weird biomasses was. Rose started talking."We found those all around the outer walls of this ship but we didn't know what it was."

"Quasar can you tell me what it is."

"Chemical analysis shows traces of protein polymers, fabric, trace bits of metal and ....oh God. 009 looked deeper into the mass and pulled something out.

It was a dog tag.

"I found what happened to the rest of the crew."

The gems were shocked. Pearl looked like she was gonna puke if she could, even Amythest looked a little quesy. Rose looked on the verge of tears and Garnet even looked down.

009 put the dogtag in a pouch on his armor and said. "I'll give what's left of them a proper burial later."

(Just so you know how this happened. The explosive decompression sucked the crew members that were t buckled down out to the hull and sucked mangled their bodies into holes like human Play-Doh)

They continued down the hall and 009 picked up the dogtsg from all the bodies he could find. "Thankfully it was a skeleton crew."

"How many crew members are usually on this ship." Pearl asked.

"Roughly a thousand personnel with a varying amount of marines and ODST's. But all the soldiers were gone and the ship was operating on a skeleton crew. So I'd guess there was no more than 350 on board." 009 replied.

"Where was everyone else that was supposed to be on board." Garnet asked.

"Dead."

Before the gems could ask them how they reached the hangar door. It was another large bulkhead. Garnet was about to step forward to open it but 009 beat them to it. He clasped his hands where the 2 halves meet and pried. The sound of metal scraping echoed throughout the ship.

"How are you that strong, that door must have at least weighed several tons." Rose asked.

"Because I'm no ordinary soldier."

"And what kind would that be." Pearl asked sceptical.

"That's classified."

They dropped the subject for now to look at the hangar. Like everything else on this ship it was huge. Spanning at least 150 meters long and 70 meters wide. (For all you metric users). There were several different types of vehicles strewn across it. Most were damaged in the crash. Several aerial looking vehicles were either missing wings or engines, some even had holes blown in them. The ground ones looked in better condition but some were still missing key components.

009 started across to a large truck like vehicle that looked relatively in one piece. It was a military green with armored plates and a large gun hanging off the back.

009 hopped into the driver's seat of it. His considerable size looking at home inside the vehicle.

"What are you waiting for get in. And if your wondering if you can fit then don't worry, this was designed to fit all body shapes."

The gems looked at each other than walked forward. Rose got in the passenger seat while Amythest garnet and Pearl got in the back.

"Hey what's this thing called." Amythest asked.
