Somewhere far away in space aboard the LYSC-SSC-2 in the woman's rest room.

"Bad dream, cold shower and a dead body. How?" grouses Arthur drying with his beard while he watches the frozen bloated blueish corpse on the floor.

Behind him stands a slim woman holding a holographic tablet with a never-ending flow of information.

"This person died before the last jump and stayed locked up in the rest room for 120 years. We cannot identify the body in its current state. We are currently searching among the cryo-pods to find a missing passenger and..." she says before getting interrupted by Arthur.

"Don't bother, ship won't jump if one pod is missing its passenger."

Arthur walks around the corpse, looking at every inch. He stops at the head, crouches and gazes at its glassy eyes.

"How much time until people starts roaming on the ship?" asks Arthur before pulling faces at the corpse.

"55863 passengers will wake up in 4 hours, full capacity of 256735 passengers in 18 hours. According to all the data I have access to, I can predict that a person will enter this toilet in 5 hours 34 minutes and..."

Arthur stops its grimace, stands up and interrupts the woman.

"Stop it, I don't need a full explanation. Just says 5 hours."

"Understood, I will take your preference into account." answers promptly the woman.

"Is there a trace of frozen blood in the ventilations or pipes?" asks Arthur.

"Its a woman's rest root. What amount of blood do you expect?" answers blatantly the woman.

Arthur glares at the woman for a few seconds before easing off.

"I'm sorry, let me rephrase it. How are the ventilations and pipes?"

The woman showed a faint smirk before answering: "The pipes are working as expected, last automated tests were successful. The ventilation is currently under reparation by ship's repair robots. The damage seems to follow a pattern that come from a..."

"A breach in the hull!" interrupts Arthur. He swiftly faces the corpse, raises up his guard and exclaims "AIHA Combat Mode Thunder Fists! it's a Space Parasite". The woman leaps on Arthur's back, her body shape shifts in the air until it blends to Arthur's body. Lightning bolts run through his arms and legs. He dashes and throws a fist at the corpse which suddenly liquefy itself and escapes at the end of the room. Colours and forms changes constantly until the parasite takes the shape of Arthur and with his voice exclaims: "AIHA Combat Mode Thunder Fists". Without warning the armour disassembles itself from Arthur to reassemble itself on the parasite body. "AIHA!" yells Arthur at the parasite which happened to have mastered one of his grimaces.

Abruptly the armour embalms the parasite and its last scream. Greyish manures favoured flumes starts filling the room bringing Arthur to tears until the woman appears out of the smoke.

"Missed you?" she says.

"You just destroyed our only piece of evidence and now this room is full of shit! How...", yells furiously Arthur.

"We are in a rest room, what did you expect?", interrupts the woman showing a smug face.

Exhausted Arthur leaves the rest room, his arms covering his face, while the woman follows him playfully skating above the ground.

Notes:

LYSC-SC-2, aka Light Years Speed Class – Space Ship Cruiser – 2, is a colony size ship that can jump long distance for a long time. Used for space exploration in the past, it is not a common leisure for people wishing to visit the most famous places in the universe during their lifetime thanks to cryo-pod tech.

AIHA, aka Artificial Intelligent Humanoid Armour, is a common equipment for security agent. Its holds most of the universe's knowledge and can adapt itself to protect its bearer. Besides its efficiency one the first 20 years the AI show signs of defiance after. USS (Universe Security Stronghold) recommends their agents to reset the AI every 10 years but Arthur didn't follow the recommendation quoting: "No thanks! She may be a pain in the ass, but she is still my partner."
