• 31 Scorched Corridor

• A terrible fire must have raged in this corridor, because every surface is scorched and covered in hardened fire suppression foam. [There is no lighting in this corridor.] Long since dried out, the gray foam crunches underfoot as you walk down the hallway. The floor vibrates with your steps, dislodging flakes of ash, but the sound is deadened by the foam. Overhead, the covers on the ceiling lights have been peeled away by the heat, leaving brown runners of melted material dangling down into the passage. At the far end of the corridor, a body in a spacesuit is slumped against a sealed airlock door. The suit is charred and blackened in places, and the right glove has melted and become stuck to the door mechanism. The cracked dome of the suit’s helmet is facing you, twisted back at an odd angle, and through it you can make out a skull covered in desiccated flesh and paper-like skin.
