INT. MESS - NIGHT
The crew is eating. Plates of food, cups of coffee. The mood is relaxed. KANE eats with appetite. He seems fully recovered.
LAMBERT
The food isn't that bad, is it?
KANE
(mouth full)
No. Good, actually. I'm starving.
Kane suddenly chokes. He grabs his throat. The others look at him, concerned but not alarmed. He coughs. Seems to clear it. Starts to relax.
Then his chest EXPLODES outward. Blood sprays across the table. A SMALL CREATURE, slick with blood, pushes through the hole in Kane's shirt and looks around. The crew screams. Chairs go over backward. The creature SHRIEKS — a high, thin sound — and races across the table, leaving a trail of blood, and disappears into the ship.
Kane lies on the table. Dead. The crew stares in stunned silence. No one moves.
