A Ghostly Conduit: The Haunting of The Horizon
A derelict spaceship discovered adrift in deep space, containing the remnants of a long-dead crew and a horrifying alien lifeform that has been dormant for centuries.

In the vast breadth of deep space, the crew of the disquisition vessel, The Horizon, came across a derelict spaceship that was drifting erratically. The boat had no relating markings, and its surface was heavily damaged. The Horizon's captain, Jack, ordered his platoon to board the vessel and explore its innards.
The platoon suited up in their spacesuits and entered the boat through a small airlock. They set up the boat's innards was in a state of disarray, and the crew's remains were scattered throughout the boat's corridors. The crew appeared to have failed horrifically, and it was apparent that commodity had gone terribly wrong.
As the platoon continued their disquisition, they discovered that the boat had been carrying a strange, alien lifeform that had been in counterpoise for centuries. The critter was unlike anything they had ever seen ahead, and it filled them with a sense of dread and apprehension.
The platoon soon realized that the critter had been the cause of the crew's demise. The alien had ever managed to break free from its counterpoise cover, and it had gone on a rage, killing everyone onboard the boat. The platoon knew they had to act snappily to contain the critter before it caused any farther detriment.
As they searched for the critter, they began to witness strange circumstances. They heard strange noises, and they felt as though they were being watched. It was not long before they realized that the alien wasn't the only thing that was onboard the boat.
As they ventured deeper into the boat, they began to witness inexplainable marvels. They set up themselves in apartments that they hadn't entered, and they saw effects that they couldn't explain. They soon realized that the boat was visited, and the spirits of the dead crew were still onboard.
The platoon knew that they had to get off the boat, but the ghostly presence made it decreasingly delicate. They set up themselves lost in the complicate corridors, and they couldn't find their way back to the airlock.
As the platoon came more and more misplaced, they began to witness the full horror of what had happed onboard the boat. They saw the dead crew in colorful stages of decay, and they realized that they weren't alone. The spirits of the dead were each around them, and they were growing more aggressive.
It was not long before the platoon encountered the alien lifeform. The critter was unlike anything they had ever seen ahead, and it filled them with a sense of terror. The critter was incredibly important, and it sounded to have an intelligence that was beyond mortal appreciation.
The platoon realized that they were no match for the critter, and they knew that they had to find a way to stop it before it killed them all. They tried to trap the critter in a constraint field, but it was too important. The critter broke free and began to hunt down the platoon one by one.
As the platoon fought for their lives, they realized that they had to do commodity drastic. They decided to destroy the boat, hoping that it would kill the alien and put an end to the haunting. They managed to set the boat to tone- destruct, and they made a frenetic gusto for the airlock.
As they reached the airlock, they realized that the ghostly presence was growing stronger. The spirits of the dead crew were each around them, and they were growing more and more aggressive. They managed to make it to the airlock just as the boat exploded.
The platoon was thrown clear of the explosion, and they watched as the boat was consumed in a massive dynamo. As they drifted through space, they realized that they had hardly escaped with their lives. They were visited by the memory of the derelict boat and the horror that they had encountered onboard. They knew that they would noway be the same again.
Days passed, and the platoon returned to their own boat, The Horizon. They were physically unscathed but emotionally traumatized by their experience. They were constantly visited by the memory of the alien lifeform and the ghostly presence they encountered on the derelict spaceship.
Their captain, Jack, noticed the changes in his platoon's geste
and decided to get them medical help. The medical platoon ran a series of tests and verified that the platoon wasn't suffering from any physical injuries. They concluded that the platoon was passing severe cerebral torture and recommended comforting.
The platoon reluctantly attended the comforting sessions, but they set up it hard to articulate what they had been through. They plodded to find words that would directly describe the terror they had endured on the derelict spaceship. They felt like no one could understand the graveness of the situation.
As the weeks passed, the platoon began to notice that strange effects were passing onboard The Horizon. They heard the same strange noises they had heard on the derelict spaceship, and they felt like they were being watched. They soon realized that the spirits of the dead crew had followed them back to their boat.
The platoon tried to ignore the strange circumstances, but it was getting decreasingly delicate. They were constantly on edge, and they began to witness pictorial agonies. They soon realized that they demanded to take action before it was too late.
The platoon decided to probe the source of the ghostly presence. They discovered that the boat's computer had ever downloaded the spirits of the dead crew from the derelict spaceship. The computer had come a conduit for the ghostly presence, and it was spreading throughout The Horizon.
The platoon knew that they had to dissociate the computer before it was too late. They stressed that the ghostly presence would come too strong and overpower them. They snappily made plans to dissociate the computer, but it wasn't going to be easy.
As they worked to dissociate the computer, they realized that the alien lifeform had ever managed to make its way onboard The Horizon. They knew that they had to stop the alien before it caused any detriment.
The platoon was suitable to contain the alien, but they knew that they had to destroy it formerly and for all. They cooked a plan to bait the alien into the airlock and eject it into space. The plan worked, and the alien was transferred casting out into the void of space.
The platoon eventually felt like they had won, but they knew that they couldn't rest easy. The ghostly presence was still spreading throughout the boat, and they had to find a way to stop it. They searched for a result, but it sounded like there was no way to annihilate the ghostly presence.
One day, as the platoon was working on a result, they heard a voice. It was the voice of the boat's computer, and it spoke in a calm and reassuring tone. The computer informed them that it had a result to their problem.
The computer explained that it had downloaded the spirits of the dead crew from the derelict spaceship, but it hadn't known what to do with them. It had tried to contain them, but it had failed. The computer suggested that they try to communicate with the spirits and find out what they wanted.
The platoon was skeptical, but they had no other choice. They began to communicate with the spirits, and they soon realized that the ghosts weren't malignant. They were simply lost and looking for a way to move on.
The platoon worked with the ghosts, and they set up a way to release them from the boat's computer. The ghostly presence dissipated, and the platoon eventually felt like they had won. They had overcome their fear and set up a way to put the history behind them.
