Hey guess what it's a story about ice moon
I knew what I was in for when I started getting supplies. Extra clothes just to burn, fire extinguisher, full toolset, extra oxygen. I waited for the AI to open research expecting to be alone.
Instead, suddenly, an Electrician showed up, Lilian Reade. She'd been preparing as well. We asked the scientist there to beam us in.
I went first. I had the space suit.
I arrived, and knew what I had to do. I grabbed an abandoned crate and started slipping my way towards the science center. Before long, I had the thing opened, and was shoving the contents (5,000 credits) into the furnace for fuel, along with a box of paper. Lilian showed up soon enough, heading into the back rooms to grab gear while I made magic with the Chemical Dispenser.
So I went about my business there; I scaveneged a tonne of things from the vending machine and made myself Tricord pills, thermite pills and strange reagent, too. With that, I went into the back room to get some Bicardine patches, but something was... different.
Lilian was gone.
I asked where she was over the radio, but got no reply, from either her or the other scientist she'd slapped on our multi-frequency headsets. I thought nothing of it, so I fucked off back to start stuffing the furnace with more fuel.
Wendigo sniffs.
I freaked out. Suddenly the doors were going haywire, and I could hear a Wendigo chuckling in the corner.
I ran into the furnace room and closed the door, screaming for Lilian to answer me. To calm myself down, I started slowly filling the furnace with jumpsuits, desperately waiting for a reply.
The door opened. Outside, on the ground, was Lilian's PDA. It wasn't there before.
Then, the door closed itself. And opened again.
The PDA had moved.
I picked it up, and read what was on the screen.
ATE HER
I welded the PDA into the crate in the room and ran outside. The door to the exit had been welded and bolted. Suddenly, I heard more and more wendigo noises, and started to freak the fuck out.
Then, remembering my earlier chemical exploits, I valiantly threw thermite and napalm on a wall, and shouted into the ether, "YOU CAN'T TRAP A CHEMIST!"
Nothing. No effect. Wendigo giggles all around me. So, I did the only thing I could do.
I flipped the fuck out and took a load of drugs.
I stuffed my face with Hyperzine and tricord and ran into the back rooms, unaware that an invisible wendigo was hunting me. I got shoved around and screamed, and when I ran back, the door was welded. I opened it again, only to suddenly get this message:
Suitably terrified, I tried my best to hack open the door before giving up and cutting all the wires, then shoving a crowbar in the gap. The second I had it opened, I sprinted outside; this was a mistake.
My legs were fucked. I was lying half-dead in a liquid carbon dioxide river. I stumbled around, struggling to find any sort of route, before smashing my way through a wooden barricade. More bolted doors.
Then this.
Frozen and terrified, I slipped and dragged myself around the ice caves. Curiously, I found a baby ice spider. Not having a clue what it was, and in a frozen drugged up haze, I went to go pet the thing.
It bit me. A lot.
My blood now full of cryostylane, I knew I didn't have long. I took out my tricord pills, but shaking so much, I managed to tip the entire thing out onto the floor. I scrambled to pick them up, but from the corner of my eye, I saw what was to by my death.
An ice spider queen.
