A quiet night

[chozo_girl]

 [Late night in the Chalice. Most of the personnel is already asleep hours ago, the place is calm and silent, and the lights are a bit more dim. It's quite peaceful compared to the hustle and bustle and noise coming from the hangars that are the norm during the day.

For whatever reason, however, you are going around the corridors, be it because you have business somewhere, needed to go to the bathroom, simply to enjoy the quiet, or any of a myriad other reasons... 

...but despite the apparent peace, if you're in any way observant you'll probably soon feel stalked. Something is observing around the empty, long corridors this particular night. Every now and then there's very quiet, metallic pitter-patter sounds that stop whenever anyone looks around. And sometimes, a low, quiet creak like that of an ungreased old door hinges' opening can be heard, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. And overall, a definite feeling of observation. 

Definitely unnerving stuff.

How do you react?]

...They grow up fast and dangerous, don't they...?

...Though I suppose this thing's more just overly curious and unable to not seem... suspicious.

If it is any consolation, if it had wanted to attack you would have been dead before you saw it.

[No, Samus, that is not very comforting]

...That's not consolation at all! I freaked out because a random, giant creature was scurrying about the ship doing god knows what! Tell people if this stuff is gonna happen!

[Samus doesn't reply nor particularly react. Honestly, it kinda feels like your yelling at her is basically bouncing off Samus.

Rather, she crouches a bit and pats the creature between its eyes, which prompts it to begin emitting its birdlike noises, and the color of its plating to sort of waver and undulate between green and blue.]
