< Corridor of the Reactor Room >

Both Dallas and Sureth could barely move as the interior temperature lowered. The glow of the reactor barely lit as the power dropped .

" I always wanted to die in battle." Dallas told Sureth.
" Not me. I hope to die of old age." Sureth replied.

The two men slipped to the floor and put their backs to the wall.

A shadow entered the area and stood off in the distance as they both could see.

" It is futilous to resist me Captain. Soon this station and all who are on it will be mine." said the voice.

" Who is this?" Sureth replied.
" I am Jyeth. I am a servant of the Corjii just as you will be soon enough. When you are unconscious I will devour your blood and add you to my immortal army.""

Dallas heard this and pretended to be unconscious all the while aiming his phaser at the shadow. But then the unimaginable occured as the body of Randolph reanimated and walked toward the shadow.

Dallas jumped up and began firing at both Randolph nand towards the shadows direction.

Randolph's body was down again and the shadow had gotten away.

" Get up sir. He left so quickly the door to the hall was left open. I scotched it up and now we have a path back to OPS." Dallas told Sureth.
