Gus fires once at the organic machine (Snap shot) 9 +1-1=9, a miss on anything vital, although the smoke and steam seems to thicken.
One of the creatures spits a foul green liquid at him. (12) A hit, he screams in agony as the acid burns into his shoulder (Save roll =9, he survives again thanks to his nanobots in his system, but he is now at -2 to hit). He staggers back against the door, but it remains shut.

Pinky and Harry were exploring other compartments and came face to face with each other at the same time as the scream, each fired off a shot.

Meanwhile
More shudders and groans are felt throughout the ship. Chris gives out another scream as tentacles start forming out of the walls ! Just when he thought it could get any worse, the floor started to open, revealing hundreds of fangs lining a pit. "Its gonna eat me !!"
