Alien on ship (423 words)

'What the hell is going on?' I question myself as soon as I regained consciousness.

Next came the pain from having multiple broken bones and plenty of bruises and burns.

'Shit!' Pushing off the rubble on top of me I stand up with shaking legs and take in the ruined sight all around me.

'Hm, this looks like the inside of a ship…' Looking down to check the damage on my body I freeze up for a moment as realization hit me.

'This isn't my body… nor is it human.' My eye trail over the light blue skin that showed in the places where the suit I'm currently wearing has been damaged.

'Doesn't matter right now.' Pushing unnecessary thoughts away I look down a corridor.

'Need to get to the main deck or out of here, both would at least be something.' Walking down the damaged corridor of the ship l tried to recall anything related to what's going on, after all this isn't my old body but a body that once belonged to member of the crew.

Glancing at some singes written on the wall I narrow my eyes as I managed to interpret its meaning.

With increasingly heavy steps I marsh down the corridor in which the singe pointed.

'I really hope I got that right and this really leads to the control room.' By now my breathing became irregular and the pain in my chest and also increased.

Arriving in front of a closed blast door I walked up to the luckily still glowing access panel.

Not seeing any slots for ID cards or the like I just plant my uncovered hand onto the thing and hoped for the best.

[BEEP: Crew member {Hexenia Vel Nimmrune} access granted.]

A mechanical voice spoke with heavy interference before the door opened while creaking.

Releasing a sigh of relief I move through the door which tried to close again but one side got stuck and jammed.

"Hexania Vel Nimmreune… quite the long name." I mutter letting my new name run off my tongue.

"But I don't dislike it." Turning around another corner with another door where I repeated my action and got granted access I arrive in the main deck where I was greeted with two corpses both with their head heavily damaged.

'Looks like they didn't make it.' Walking up to the main seat I flop myself into it and stare at it.

'I have no clue as to how this shit works…sigh… maybe there's an AI that can help me? T
