Jack looked up slowly to take in the scope of the creature that inhabited the space around them. It was hideous, the stolen eyes staring back down at them. Following them as they moved.
He nodded and stepped back slowly.
"I've never seen anything like it," Jack said, with his voice a disgusted echo. "It's..." he shook his head. It was putrid, like the smell, and one thing was for certain; it wasn't good.
He glanced back to the computers and the carefully placed explosives, and he spoke quietly, realising what the people on the Outpost had been attempting.
"They were trying to stop it," he said. "Trying to contain it. That's why they didn't send out a distress beacon. They shut off the external connections to isolate it. Sever the Outpost from the others."
But oh... they'd called back a pod, hadn't they? If the connection was severed before, it wasn't now.
"These explosives..." he said quietly. "They look like anti-atomising electromagnetics to you?" If these went off, they'd blow everything, and everything it was connected.

Including every Outpost.
