GO AHEAD. SCREAM.

[dousing]

IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU MEME Sure we've got your fun interplanetary romps, your space spaghetti westerns, your xenoromance. This is none of those things. This is you getting lost in the depths of space. This is you being stuck in a silent hulking dead ship with no idea where to turn. This is you hiding in the dark and hoping the creature doesn't see you. This is you, surviving some kind of horrors. Or not. Do your best.

THREAT • YOU HAVE MY SYMPATHIES Xenomorphs, facehuggers, necromorphs, predators, whatever: the threat you're up against is some kind of being you've never seen before. Perhaps they're engineered somehow, perhaps they've evolved this way. Either way, I hope you can figure out how to kill them before they kill you. • I'M AFRAID I CAN'T DO THAT Why the hell did we think building un-tethered AI was a good idea? Your threat is an android, or a ship's AI, or I don't know, a sentient race of evil ships that want to destroy all life and suck it into tubes to make a weird baby shaped ship. WHATEVER. The point is, technology is going against you. Can you beat out something with that much processing power? Maybe having bigger firepower will help. • I LOVE... ROCKS Your threat is environmental. An exploding sun, an alien planet with an inhospitable atmosphere, your ship's life support systems have failed, your shuttle has gone down in flames. Can you cobble together some way to fix the problem before you all die? • THIS IS NOT A RESCUE SHIP Screw the other problems, what you're up against are HUMANS. Or, you know, whatever species/race matches yours. We're not xeno-racist here. Anyway, you're being targeted by your own. Maybe you're in the way of a scientific development, or you've become expendable, or they want to take over your ship, or they're just plain evil. • ABOUT 15 SECONDS Holy shit. Holy... shit. You were outside your ship making repairs and you got knocked off track. Maybe your fancy magnetic boots failed. Maybe some debris from your ship took you down with it. Either way, your space walk has become a space "holy shit help I'm going to get spaced, someone get me back on board." Try not to panic. • WE'RE THE ENEMIES You've been out in space too long. Everything is going strange and everything is a threat. Is your space sickness psychological or physiological? Is it spreading? Is there a cure? LOCATIONS • PLANETSIDE Crash landed. In an outpost. Building a new life. You're on a planet not your own and things are going horribly wrong. What can you do when you have no way home? • STATION SWEET STATION Whether you're out in your ship or in a streamlined space station, things are rotten in Denmark. You'd better fix that circuitry before you all die. Just a suggestion. • THE GAPING MAW There's nothing around you and all you can hear is your breathing. Are you calm? Panicked? What's it like floating in the vast expanse of space? • IT'S INEVITABLE You're lost in your own head. You can be anywhere, but maybe you're the threat because you've short-circuited from being in space too long. The mind can only take so much. Try to be gentle. Try to breathe. No one's after you, it's all in your head. As always, these are just suggestions. Also, not all examples are strictly hard sci-fi but we do what we want in these parts. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun!

Clarice Ferguson / Xmen Comics

[blinkandyoumiss]

[ooc: space travel seemed like there be way fewer people trying to kill her...]

There had been conditions to joining the crew. A willingness to leave behind all ties to friends and family, the harsh reality of working impossibly long hours for impossibly long weeks at a time, facing the fact that death could come at any moment and earth would be always too far away to help. The first manned mission to Junipter could easily have been the last. Space was dangerous, and those choosen to venture out into it were selected for their ability to function within it.
Clarice never felt herself up to the task. While the others were test pilots, military commanders, holders of multiple degrees - she was a girl who never finished high school, whose claim to being here was her skill at tinkering with the machines, and the ablity to protect the ship from the astoroid belt they were flying through. But there was always the unease between her and the rest of the crew, as if they too, could sense that she didn't belong.
Clarice was in the forward operation deck, focusing on funnelling her power out into the vaccuum beyond the ship, sending the astroids in their path scattering, the ship encased in a protective bubble of pink light.
The ship's intercom crackled.
"I had strings, but now I'm free-"

"We need to evacuate this section." There is no announcement, not knock at the door, no call.

There's only Ariana, whose very appearance announces that something is wrong - her shoulder looks singed, clothes black and charred and the skin underneath painfully red -, suddenly slamming the door open and announcing the need for relocation. Because there can't be any warning. To the best of their knowledge, the communications system has been taken over by the corrupted AI that a ship carrying a dead crew brought back, and whoever (or perhaps more accurately whatever) it was that came with that ship, stowed away out of sight of those who carefully boarded it to investigate, is quickly advancing throughout their section of the station.

There are, from what Ariana has learned about the workings of this place and can guess, two options, neither of which bode well for the few humans working in this section that are still alive.

One is that the whole thing has gone unnoticed, the AI perhaps having been capable of shutting down all distress signals and signs of unusual happenings, in which case the whole station is at risk.

Or the whole thing has been discovered, and the central control room is getting ready to eject this section of the station in an attempt to protect the rest of it.

Either way, she needs to get out of here and if they can into a more central section. And the most natural way to get going with that is to contact her superior. If Julie makes the official decision to relocate, anyone else's opinion on that is a lot less of her problem than it would be if she doesn't.

[kiseijuu]

[ My jam. In-canon, he's host to an alien parasite meant to take over his brain, who accidentally ended up in his hand. Literal alien hand syndrome....

Just to throw out one idea: maybe people are being experimented on, he's one such experiment gone wrong, runs into your person, and they have to rely on each other for survival in some kind of terrible alien ship? With his hand probably.. trying to kill them at first but. Your person could even have been experimented on as well, if they have abilities you'd like to keep for this.

I'm 100% open to any brainstorming / suggestions, though. AU possibilities are pretty endless, so if there's anything in particular you want to write out, I'm definitely game! ]

[sentbydpd]

[One quick thing: I know Parasyte canon back to front and bless you for existing.

Ok so keeping in line with your idea here, I'm thinking as the person to run into, Connor's more security personnel given that in his own right he's a cop, and one sent in without volition to accomplish a mission at any cost. This would work well if a company with a vested interest in the parasitic organisms' capability to be adapted for actual use. (Think the soldier oneshot in NeoParasyte M)

In any case if you have a good idea for how it might start, I will roll with whatever you've got in mind.]
