Part 2: Horror Movie
"Captain Grayson on the Bridge." Kelly paused at the threshold to the Bridge disturbed by the still new rank attatched to her name by Lieutenant Malloy's voice coming from a head on a Kaylon equivalent of a Stick forcing her to avert her eyes from the horror that was Gordon. "Oh my god you totally looked away."
"No I didn't look away." Kelly couldnt bring herself to make eye contact with Gordon and looked about the bridge. "I'm just... looking around for any signs of damage to the bridge that might have been missed."
"Oh... okay," Gordon Malloy took his station at the Helm forcing Kelly to avert her gaze awkwardly elsewhere on the bridge. "I think there is still some blood in the carpeting from when the fragment of Kaylon wreckage punched through the hull, decapitated me and crushed my body into the floor just in front of the Captain's chair."
"Oh God." Kelly placed a hand over her mouth and, bolting from her seat, fled down the hall to the Captain's ready room holding in vomit only to discover the repair crew still attempting to separate Malloy's bodily remains from a piece of metal. "Ogh...od."
"Yeah..." the sound of Kelly vomiting on the floor of the ready room in the distance reached the ears of the bridge crew and Gordon looked at Bortus. "She is totally freaked out by it."
"It is..." Bortus looked away from Kaylon-Gordon and surpressing an unexpected wave of nausea, focused his attention on his console. "...understandable."
"Oh my god..." Gordon stared accusingly at Bortus who now refused to break eye contact with his console. "You looked away too."
"I did not." Bortus pushed a button on his console and it made Beep noise. "I am focused on my work."
"Sure you are..." Gordon breathed in through non-existant lungs and got up to go check on the Captain. "And FYI... even I know that beep sound is for the button that doesn't do anything."
"Actually," Bortus was unsurprised that Lieutenant Gordon Malloy did not know what that button was for. "It is for requesting the senior medical officer to the Bridge."
"Realy?" Gordon shook his head at the new information that inserted itself in his brain. "I guess that explains why Doctor Finn kept showing up whenever I pushed it."
"Um..." Gordon remembered something important. "...you realize that Doctor Finn isn't onboard and Isaac is the only Medical Officer we have right now don't you?"
"I am..." Bortus stared out the display window at the debris field that was once the Kaylon homeworld, now reduced to a shredded wasteland of metal scrap with a few pulverized bone fragments from its subterranean graveyards mixed in. Something caught his interest and he logged it in to the task list of things for the maintenance drones to retrieve for delivery to the shuttle bay as salvage. "...quite aware."
"Captain." Isaac appeared in the hallway next to the barely concious body of Captain Grayson who was now being supported by a maintenance technician who had stepped over Malloy's corpse to lift Kelly from the pool of her own vomit she had collapsed in and assessed the scene. "Perhaps you should accompany me to medical."
"Okay..." Captain Kelly Grayson passed out.
"What..." Chief Engineer LaMarr examined the ancient cylindrical pod that occupied a space on the shuttle bay floor. The metal looked Kaylon. "...have we here?"
"Chief Engineer LaMarr to Isaac," John LaMarr scanned the two metre long object without touching it. "We pulled in something unusual."
"Could you meet me..." LaMarr uploaded the Scans to Isaac's system. "...in the Shuttle Bay?"
"I will come immediatly." Came the reply. "Do not make physical contact with the Object."
"Sure..." Chief Engineer John LaMarr was mesmerized by its seamless perfection. "What ever you say."
"My apologies Captain," Isaac, the Captain in his arms, changed directions for the shuttle bay. "we must divert to the shuttle bay immediatly."
"Lieutenant Malloy," Isaac entered a lift with the Captain in his arms and directed it to the shuttle bay. "Your presence will be required in the shuttle bay immediatly."
"Sure Isaac." Gordon Malloy looked at Bortus. "I wonder what that is all about."
"Who knows." Bortus was jealous at all the attention being garnered on Lieutenant Malloy. "Perhaps it is the going away party for your Body."
"I'll let you know how it goes." Gordon Malloy exited the Bridge and spotted the rest of his body through the open doorway to the Ready Room. It was still impaled on a piece of the planet Kaylon and a technician had broken out a laser Saw and was removing a leg. "Nope. Not my Funeral."
"There goes my plan to have an open casket." Lieutenant Malloy shook his head as he entered the lift and directed it to the shuttle bay. "At this rate it'll look more like a serial killer's gift basket."
"Chief Engineer LaMarr," Isaac exited the lift into the Shuttle bay with the Captain in his arms. "Would you hold the Captain for me?"
"Sure," John LaMarr stepped away from the Kaylon artefact and took the weight of Captain Grayson from Isaac. "What's wrong with her?"
"She saw Lieutenant Malloy's headless corpse in the ready room." Isaac examined the artefact. It was just what he needed. "She did not take it well."
"Yeah," the sight of Gordon's head on a Kaylon body still lingered in John's memory. "I could see how that might be disturbing."
"So guys..." Kaylon-Gordon exited the lift into the shuttle bay. "...what's the sitch?"
"Lieutenant Malloy," Isaac looked at Kaylon-Gordon and knew what he needed to do. "If you would assist me."
"Sure Isaac," Gordon walked past John LaMarr with the unconcious Captain in his arms and stood next to Isaac. "What do you need?"
"If you dont mind," Isaac pulled Gordon's head from the top of the Kaylon body that kept it alive and plunged it through the surface of the Kaylon pod as though it were made of liquid metal. "That should do."
"What the hell?" John LaMarr, the unconcious Captain in his arms, turned away at the sight of Gordon Malloy's head being separated violently from it's Kaylon body. "Some warning please."
"I assure you," Isaac watched as the surface of the now liquid metal pod imploded, pouring into itself to reveal that Lieutenant Malloy's head now had a fully grown body. "The speed was necessary."
"Lieutenant Malloy." The eyes of a very naked Gordon Malloy snapped open in shock, his body breathing with a new set of lungs. "Excellent... it was successful."
