<div id='stars3'></div>Fogel walks around the corner. Confused by seeing you he tells you that the women's bathroom is in the opposite direction.
After you went to the bathroom you go back with Fogel and return to your room. He is keeping a close eye on you.
[[Go to bed]]

<div id='stars2'></div>
<div id='stars3'></div>After the footsteps are gone you walk further down the corridor. You walk around the endless corridors and you start to question whether you should have stayed in your room. Suddenly the screams get louder. You walk around a corner and see something on the floor.
It is a blood stain.
You gasp for air. You know that you weren't supposed to see this and you run back to your room as fast as you can. Luckily you don't run into anybody on your way back.
[[Go to bed]]

[[Grab a coffee from the break room.]]
<div id='stars'></div>
<div id='stars2'></div>
<div id='stars3'></div>Fogel gives you a weird look and tells you that it's probably just a malfunction from the machine room. It's located right below your room.

<div id='stars2'></div>
<div id='stars3'></div>You cannot help your curiousity and decide to explore the lower parts of the space station where the noise was coming from. As you venture down the station you spot some personnel exiting a door. The door remains open and you suddenly smell something unpleasant.

<div id='stars3'></div>On your way to the break room you walk past J.Crow's office. You hear voices from inside. Your curious nature get the best of you and you approach the door. The voices are not very clear but you can make out your own name in their conversation.
