Scene 2: Let's move like we got a purpose

The elevator arrives, you all get inside it and travel to Level 2.

Lighting in this section is back to normal. The corridor that the elevator opens into turns right after a few metres.

After that turn, there is first a door on the left to the Command Centre i.e. Ops or Operations, which is the nerve centre of the colony, monitoring vital functions and security.

After that, a door opens on the right to the Morgue, and on the left to the MedLab.

Holroyd steps into the Command Room (also known as Ops).

This room is the nerve centre of the colony, where vital functions and security are monitored, including access to the CCTV cameras distributed across Hadley's Hope. The intercom is on, but hisses static. One of the CRT monitor screens flickers.

Usually it would be busy, but now there's no one in here (apart from you).

As far as Singleton can tell, she successfully sends her message to the launch pad. There is, however, no response from the shuttle over the intercom.

Holroyd doesn't find anything useful as he searches the room.

For the five minutes he spends searching the room, there continues to be no response or reply from the shuttle. It seems there has been a fight in this room, with firearms - lots of the monitors and computer terminals have been damaged by bullets. There is no sign of blood, however.

One terminal and screen does appear to be functional, however.

As Singleton sits down at the terminal, she finds that it give her access to the network of CCTV cameras distributed across Hadley's Hope.

Many cameras are reporting only static - something has either damaged the cameras or the wiring that leads to them.

As Hannah flicks through the views from the cameras, she sees:

- a single view of the carnage they have all already seen in the Sub-Level 1 Mass Housing - nothing is moving there, apart from the smoke rising from the few smouldering fires.

- a deserted corridor in Block A1. In the distance, there’s movement. Zooming in, Singleton catches sight of the bloodied remains of a person being dragged slowly out of view. Singleton can't make out what is dragging the body, however.

- a view of the shuttle launch pad. A shuttle is landed there, no movement or lights can be seen from it or around it.

- a view of the South Lock, where they re-entered the building to come up here to Block E2. Here, Singleton sees movement. As Singleton looks more closely, and zooms in on the movement, she sees a nightmare in shiny black. A figure, more than two metres tall. Covered in bumps and appendages, a long curved head, many many very-sharp-looking teeth. Huge claws. The figure's eyeless head is raised, scanning the area, its whip of a tail languidly carving the air.
