“Miller…” she whispered, watching the clouds fill in the last place he had been.
She turned away.
Chapter Fifty-one
Darkness. Three beams of light cut through the darkness.
There were three of them, in full EVA gear, their lights playing over the interior of the Gravity Couch Bay, finding the shattered tank, the bloody floor.
Three tanks were occupied. Two males, one female.
One of the astronauts approached Starck’s tank, his light shining into her face.
Suddenly, her eyes opened.
She struggled, kicked, panicking. The tank drained rapidly, opened, disgorged her.
She fell to the floor, no strength in her arms and legs.
She looked up, wondering how she could have been seeing things outside of her body while she was unconscious in the tank. She could not speak.
The astronaut bent to help her up.
“You’re safe now,” he said, gently.
Her mind filled with thoughts of others. “Cooper, is he… Justin…”
“They’re fine, they’re with us.” The astronaut reached up, undogged his helmet. “You’re all with us now.”
He pulled his helmet off.
Weir smiled at her, his darkened face covered with runes, his eyes strange and alien.
“You’re with us,” he said, softly, reaching for her.
She began to scream.
They had emptied the second tank and gotten the woman, Starck, onto a bio-stretcher, everything going fine until she had opened her eyes and begun screaming for no reason that anyone could see.
The rescue tech ministering to her turned around, yelling, “We need a sedative here!”
Cooper, who had decanted in nothing more than his birthday suit and had yet to put on a stitch of clothing, pushed the rescue tech aside, grabbing Starck’s shoulders, trying to get through to her, to comfort her. No one in the rescue team had a clue as to what had taken place here, only that it had been traumatic in nature.
“Starck, it’s me,” Cooper said, trying to break through her screaming.
“It’s me, come on now, it’s okay, we’re okay, we’re okay…”
But she had seen the face of the beast, and had known it would always be with her.
She continued to scream….
