Moving ahead Alex reaches the body that tumbled out of the hardened building, now half-way concealed in thick black smoke billowing out of the opened hatch. The body itself is torn up badly, the white coat ripped and covered in blood. The face is covered in ash and sooth. The hair is singed off, parts of the collar melted into the burned skin on the neck. As the medic kneels to inspect the fallen the body convulses slowly, tenses, and a long whispering gasp emitting from the burned lips, and then, slowly, it falls limp, dead.
The hatch is a stone’s throw away from a gate, which looks crooked and bent, as some heavy objects appears to have fallen on the roof above it, denting the frame. It appears to be shut, and there are no lights by its consoles to open it. The hatch itself opens up into what appears to a secondary heating duct, but the electric frame on the inside to dissuade entry to vermin, thieves or anything else is not flickering its usual lethal blueish light, but appears as dead as the rest of the corridor. Smoke billows thickly through it, but at the far end there appears to be a light, although it could be a fire.
A high-pitched whining and shrieking can be heard from above as a part of the ship breaks off and slowly, almost like a massive floating leaf, falls to the ground, some fifty meters behind you, crashing into the ground, excavating a large crater for itself, impaling the ground. There it stands, a massive tower-like structure of some sort, and then slowly it topples over, falls towards you, breaking apart, but as it is only 20 meters long it does not reach you, merely scattering debris everywhere. More parts of the ship above creak and groan as the weight shifts above you, lodged into the mountain, still somewhat firmly.
Suddenly a massive electric charge arcs up from the roof of the main building, grounding itself into the side of the mountain with a splashing and sizzling, showering you all and the surrounding area with burned pebbles, sand fused into glass, stinking of ozone. The building shakes, hums, as the electricity does not seem to deplete itself, but merely ground itself down rather than strike up again, and again. Some powersource is clearly still active within.
