Molenvator Journey's, Episode 1

          I wish I knew what happened, that I could leave a note or something about what happened. But I just do not know. I was working in the molenvator, replacing the auto guidance crystal. It was my job because of how tight a fit it was to get in the small crawl space. I heard an explosion from outside, it startled me so much that I must have knocked myself out when trying to look without thinking of where I was. I came to in the molenvator's small crawl space, with some dried blood and a pretty good gash on my forehead.

          I crawled out of the molenvator. It looked like I was unconscious for a day and a half as near as I could figure. No one was around in the garage. Some boxes turned over some bullet holes, some of what looked like dried blood spots. But no bodies. Definite signs of struggle and a fight, but no bodies. I was hungry, and I was thirsty and I was sore as all hell.

          I made my way into the hallway and headed toward the cafeteria. I wasn't sure what I would find there, but I knew I would at least be able to get something to drink, and hopefully some food to eat. I passed more blood stains some on the tiled floor, some on the walls, still no bodies. A few bullet holes, but still no bodies. It didn't make sense, why would someone come in ransack the place, shoot people, and then take them all away. Why would I be left behind? Food, I needed food, maybe that would help me think something to eat and drink, and then make my way to the med bay.

          The cafeteria was surprisingly calm looking, on a quick scan I only noticed 4 bullet holes and one blood stain. Judging by the state of the tables people were forced or willingly just got up and left. Half eaten sandwiches, and bowls of soup and other food remains. I made my way back behind the counter and started rummaging for some food to eat, and something to drink. I took it real slow on eating my meal and quenching my thirst, I knew from past experience that eating to fast and drinking to much to soon after a head wound was a dangerous thing to do.

          After eating and taking care of myself the best I could in the med bay, I went to the security station. It was totally trashed. All the other areas I checked were just rummaged through, security, a different story all together. Someone did not want anyone to know what happened here. It looks like while I was out a sand storm had come by, the outside perimeter was dusted clean of any tire tracks, or footprints. No evidence of any one coming or going. The communications equipment was trashed, that must have been the explosion that cause me to knock myself out, no calling for help. The molenvator's radio only had short range capability, and it was open channel, I did not want to try it incase it alerted who ever did this there was someone left behind.

          I am not looking forward to the next two weeks. If you are reading this today is 12,22,33 at 13:34. I will be heading out to Tiachio Base in a short time. I have stocked the molenvator as best I could for the two week journey.
