Swamped

Then again, whatever fool idea Ash has isn't worth a moment of your time.

"I don't care," you say. "Say whatever you want, the only answer you're getting from me is a punch in the face. That's what you've earned yourself."

"I suppose I can't be too surprised you hate me that much," Ash says. "But at least hear me out. If you-"

"Don't care."

You get up and start walking forward.

"Your choice, then."

Ash steps back and slams the door. You rush for it and grab the knob as soon as you can, before he has a chance to lock it.

The door pulls away ever so slightly before you hear a distinctive click. But now Ash is trying to pull it back to his side.

You don't know how the door works. Will it stay locked if he shuts it? Wait... if that's how it works, why didn't he lock it ahead of time? Maybe he doesn't know either.

But before you can think of how to puzzle that out, you feel the whole ship shake, and the slightly ajar door gets flung all the way open. Ash goes flying into the room; you had yourself braced better, so you barely manage to hold your ground.

What in the hells was that?

You don't have much time to think about it. You just rush out before you can be locked in again. Not that you have any idea where on the ship you even are...

Wait. Why is there a big hole in the wall?

More importantly, what in the hells is that thing on the other side of it?
