Stray Dogs Episode I - The Station of Death

When Chuck picks up the cube, the screen activates and a pixelated face appears as if out of a swirl of mist. A tinny voice says "Ask and I, the Genie, will answer" and then the face alternates between 2 or 3 bored or expectant expressions.

"To have your questions answered to my best, you must frame them as no or yes" the box replies to both questions...

...Yes...

Chuck scours the place and discovers 7 important looking lab tools, and a Holo-Laptop. No rock.

...Signs point to yes...

Hotwire and Saru walk into the storage room. Before them is a monstrous, mutated thing that might have once been a rat. It is covered in blood and scars from bullet wounds, that appear to have healed much like Saru's natural healing ability. Around him, bins have been tipped over and their contents spilled out. There are the corpses of several zombie crew here too, they aren't moving.

The beast sees the Skal'az and growls, baring it's rodent teeth.
