Lennox moved towards the cargo bay door slowly, careful not to drop the cake he had spent the last few minutes lighting candles on.
With a hiss the doors opened and he moved towards a container marked 'CRYO'
Carefully he placed the cake down and blew a thick layer of dust away from the access mechanism.
"Happy birthday boy", he said softly, the lid of the Cryochamber slid automatically to one side with a clunk.
“Yeah, I know I know”, he said holding his hands up in front of him, “but where am I gonna get dog food around here?”.

Keep it in family.
The Federation Marines on the deck listened to their orders.
“Remember, this is a peaceful mission. Just collect the trouble-maker from jail and bring him back. No unnecessary force.”
Marine-Sergeant McAuber, on the last mission of his stint, recognised the planet immediately the drop-capsules left the ship.
Home! Not seen for fifteen years, while protecting the Federation.
McAuber led the platoon through an angry but controlled crowd (he recognised a few faces) to the town hall.
A local police-official went to fetch the main rabble-rouser from his cell. He returned with a defiantly scowling prisoner. McAuber stared in disbelief…
“Dad?”.

Hope I was in time. Finally got the laptop to stay active long enough to do this.

Be careful out there....
Something wasn’t right, he could feel it, taste it almost. The ship in his reticule was dead but the scanners were picking something up.
Cautiously he edged the Cobra forward this ship had been missing a long time. Wild, visceral rumours abounded as to its cargo but the finder’s fee from the Corporation was persuasive.
He suited up and floated over to the wreck. He checked the handheld scanner “Blip”……”Blip”……”Blip” his face froze in terror as the contacts multiplied and started to move rapidly towards him. He scrambled to escape, stumbling and falling.
Claws started to rip flesh….

Thought I'd get that one in early, no copying now my ideas now unless you want to cross my palm with credits!

I was thinking in the area of a scene from 'Alien' where they were hunting the alien through the access tunnels of 'Nostro' (was that the ship's name?) and they heard the warning 'blips' as the Alien attacked another one of the crew. That would now be too obvious, and a bit plagiarist. I'll have to offer my muse a cup of strong coffee...

Feel free to go for it, I don't think I quite captured the "claustrophobic" feel that Alien had so there is still an opportunity there.
