Eureka watched Leon walk into the newly opened room. She had seen him eyeing her and Lakota, beforehand. She didn't know what to think of him, Lakota didn't seem to like him very much, not that she was ever really good at picking up on things like that. But at the same time, there was a possibility that he was someone like her. She was both excited at this idea, and indifferent. What good could come out of someone who was like her? He probably wasn't any good, then. People like her had nothing to contribute by themselves, and there he was on his own.
But really, was she the one to judge?
She glanced at Gwen in the shower, silent and focused, and Lakota dressing himself, just the same. There was nothing else to do now, not really, but to enter that room as well. She shifted from one foot to the other, wondering what was the best decision to make, when she finally decided to follow Leon. If anything, at least she got to map out more of the ship in her head. She closed the locker, letting it release a loud whine as it shut, and quietly went through the new passageway.
What she found was, of course, nothing she expected. Truly, who expects to see a corpse of a man who was breathing just five seconds ago? She gasped (Never was a loud screamer kind of person), and immediately covered her nose with her jumpsuit. The smell of death was incomparable. Instead of running, she edged forward, scanning the room with her eyes. She didn't find herself in the room with any other than herself and Ex-Leon. He was dead, and she never even got to say a word to him. A gaping stab wound stared back at her, a mess of blood, just like the rest of the room. She turned around, and sped back into the lockers, the bottoms of her boots coated in blood.
"He's dead," she said, almost in a whisper, "Leon was killed. Someone's trying to kill us."
