You are a Ghost Hunter.

You are a Ghost Hunter?

     “It’s just you and me,” said Becka. “Everyone else got scared. Did you see them run out of here as though as they had seen a ghost?”

     “Maybe they did see a ghost,” you said to Becka. “Probably ghosts. There are supposed to be about a hundred ghosts on this old abundant spaceship.”

     “That’s why you are here too,” said Becka. “You, Daviac, are the expert when it comes to ghosts. How many ghosts have you killed?”

     “I have killed about five thousand ghosts in the last twenty years.” You and Becka were walking around a spooky gloomy old spaceship. “The inside of this spaceship looks almost as bad as the outside.”

<<<<*>>>>

     A small spaceship approached another spaceship dead in Space. The dead spaceship looked as though it got attacked by a Meteor Shower – or a band of SpacePirates. There were a lot of burn marks on that spaceship. And several holes.

     You are looking at that dead spacehip. Next to you was Becka. And right behind you and Becka were six others. They consisted of Hanni, Staen, Wiom, Chussa, Pocce and Flaigh. “That’s our destination?” You said to no one in particular.

     After docking with the dead spaceship you and the others entered it. But docking with it wasn’t easy – because of all the damage. You were the one who finally docked with it. Once inside they split up into teams of two.

<<<<*>>>>

     Hanni and Staen headed for the Engine Room. But they never got there. You were talking to them when it happened. “I just seen a ghost,” Staen told you.

     “What did it look like?” You asked Staen. It was Hanni who answered you. “I saw it too.”

     “It looked like a ghost,” Staen replied to you. “What is a ghost supposed to look like?”

     “I think I know what you want to know,” said Hanni. “It looked as Human as you and me.

<<<<*>>>>

     Pocce and Flaigh reached their destination first – The Commander’s Private Chamber. Flaigh contacted you after he and Pocce checked it out. He told you, “You was right. What happened to this crew started here.”

     “I think I have found what caused the death of this crew.” Pocce was also talking to you too. “It’s a Death Plant.”

     Flaigh went over to look at the Death Plant. Then he told you, “It’s the only thing on this ship, besides us, that isn’t dead.”

     “That plant came from a nearby planet – I’m sure.” Pocce told you. “It turned everyone on that planet to ghosts too.”

<<<<*>>>>

     Wiom and Chussa were on their way to Medical. It was right after they entered The Health Chamber. You heard Chussa scream. Or was it Wiom who you heard. “The ghost I am looking at is The Ships Medic,” said Wiom.

     “The Medic is holding a knife.” That was Chussa who told you that. “And he’s using the knife on another ghost.”

     “That wasn’t what made me scream,” said Wiom to you. “I screamed because the other ghost wasn’t dead.”

     Chussa told you that, “The other ghost isn’t a ghost. She is alive. At least she was before the knife. Now she is a ghost too.”

<<<<*>>>>

     You and Becka was walking down a corridor toward the Control Chamber. Becka looked at you. “Did I hear that correctly?”

     “I heard it too.” You told Becka. “What do you want me to do about it? I’m a ghost hunter. You know that.”

     “That plant is still killing people. How long has it been since the crew here became ghosts?” Becka asked you.

     “It’s been almost two hundred years.” Then you asked Becka, “Why do you ask?”

     “Because I want to know how long we have before we become ghosts too,” replied Becka to you. “That female in The Health Chamber just became a ghost. According to you she has been here for almost two hundred years. How many others do you think have been alive here over the last two hundred years? And when did they become ghosts.”

     “That’s why we are headed for The Control Chamber.” You had just told Becka. “All Commanders keep a Personal Log. The answers you think I have will be there.”

     Another scream surprised both you and Becka. And you want to know who it came from – and why. “What’s going on.” You ask to everyone onboard.

     “It’s the female in The Health Chamber. She just died again.” You looked at Becka. “Who was that? It was too discorded for me to tell who it was.”

     “I can’t tell who it was either,” said Becka. “Do you have any idea what to do?”

     You think about that for a minute. Then you said to everyone on that ship, “I want everyone off this ship – now.” But you were too late. You and Becka was now in The Control Chamber. Becka and you can see the others on the Main Monitor in front of them. The others were running off that ship as fast as they could.

<<<<*>>>>

     Becka was checking out the Science Section. While you were trying to access the Commander’s Logs. You were the first one to find something. “I was right. The answers are in these Logs. That female in The Health Chamber was the first one affected by that Death plant. She was the one who killed the crew. The Medic was trying to save the crew – by killing her. But it was too late. That’s why we have seen her die. She has died like that a million times.”

     “She is going to continue dying for eternity – unless you stop her,” said Becka. “While she is a ghost you have to kill her."

     Before you can say anything Becka screams. “We have a big problem. The others have taken our only way off of this spaceship.” You looked at what Becka was looking at. And she was right – their spaceship was no longer docked with that ghost ship.

The End?
