Night had fallen again.
Everyone on the now stranded Company starship Naglfar was ostensibly asleep for the night. The corridors were silent and the lights were off. All was quiet. Quiet enough to allow anyone listening carefully to make out a soft sound coming from deep inside the vessel.
Stephanie Jobsworth, manager of human resources, lay awake in her bed, trying to figure out what the hell was making that damned sound. She dreaded the thought that it was one of the ship's countless systems on the fritz. The Company had decided that it would be cheaper to send her and the other women to this god forsaken planet without any engineering support. After all, the ship had done its sole job of landing them all on this planet, its engines promptly shutting down, never to run again. And now here she was, on a vessel none of them completely understood, wondering where they would all go if its systems stopped working.
There it was again. It sounded like a quiet squeal. She swung her legs out of bed and made her way out into the corridor to investigate. After some time she came upon a door marked LAB-37. Biological specimen analysis. She heard the sound again -- squeaking this time. Or perhaps laughter?
She peered through the small window on the door. At first she saw only the light of several computer monitors displaying what looked like bioreadouts and other sciency stuff. She didn't know much about the tech the company used but she knew enough to be able to tell the screen she was looking at showed information about a human subject. She looked away from the screens and into the darkness of the rest of the room. When her eyes adjusted she was stunned at what she saw.
Iris, the lead biologist on their mission, lay naked atop a large specimen crate. The lid had been unlatched. It shifted and sometimes bounced, causing Iris's ample breasts to jiggle a little in the light of the computer displays. Stephanie soon realized what was making it move. Numerous tentacles had shoved their way through the crack offered by the unlocked lid and were sliding up along the top and onto Iris's body. She covered her mouth when Iris squealed and giggled as a few of the tentacles rubbed against her, apparently tickling her.
Stephanie forced herself to stop watching the unfolding scene. She would deal with this in the morning. No, that wasn't right. She had to do something about this.. this.. inappropriate use of Company samples. She heard another squeal and a laugh from inside. Company employees weren't supposed to use the alien specimens they collected for their own personal pleasure. What the hell was she thinking?
