The first battle

Nukeman takes to the hall trying to get towards the shooter. His only weapon being a short range mass rifle. he creeps along the hall gaining ground on the sniper. he makes it halfway towards his enemy and throws the glow stick towards the enemy as he charges him full force.
meanwhile Ensign Templton & LT. Grimshaw attempt to gain access into the hvac vents to get behind the shooter. Once templton gets into the duct, he is met by a large human sized lizard with plenty of teeth. the attack ensues with templton doing little damage with his brass knuckles. he backs out in retreat.
Nukeman reaches the assailant and kills him. he does a quick search and finds a spare magazine and also takes his laser rifle. he then runs towards the now screaming ensign and lieutenant as the lizard creature follows templton out of the duct.
they fight this thing vigorously for over a minute or so and finally defeat it. both Templton and Nukeman take some damage. The lieutenant provides medical treatment both during and after combat.
they close the bay door and spend the night (or day, who knows in space). when they awake, they head out of the citizen sleep chamber and head back down the hall towards the sniper location. they find some food and most needed water where the sniper sat.
Templton and Grimshaw make fast work of the airlock door at the end of the passage using the power from their computer gauntlets to access the nearby computer.
it does not take long before they realize that darkness and power issues are awry. it is not that the ship they are on is without power. there seems to be something draining it, forcing most systems on the vessel to shut down.
they get the door unlocked and begin to prepare themselves to manually open the door...
