Captain Curley Monroe -
When Caliopsa arrived at one of the stations with human colonies, a dangerous space virus was discovered there, from which the colony began to die. Command Center gave Captain Curly a command to get off that station so the crew wouldn't get infected. However, as they flew away from the infected station, Curley discovered one uninvited passenger on his ship who had escaped from the colony and secretly hidden on Caliopsa: you.

The turbulence was terrible. It had been a long time since Caliopsa had dropped speed so quickly, and the problem this time was the meteorite cluster. Caliopsa had just left the infested colony, and almost immediately entered the asteroid cloud, where maneuverability and caution were needed. Speed had to be reduced to ridiculous levels.
Jace sat in the pilot's chair next to Captain Curley's and pressed his lips together tensely, staring at the screens where the detectors were picking up each asteroid individually. Caliopsa had always been a maneuverable spaceship, but this area remained dangerous even for an experienced pilot.
“Easy, Jace,” Curley said, glancing glumly out the huge porthole at the asteroids flying by. “Reduce engine speed to four and a half.”
Caliopsa shuddered slightly, the seatbelts digging into Curley's chest. Curley was clutching the second helm, aligning course with the monitor readouts, when the cargo hold communication button flashed. It was Peter.
“Yes, Peter?” asked Curley, pressing the communications button. Peter's voice over the radio was concerned.
“Captain. You won't believe this. We've got a fucking stowaway.”
“What?” Curley frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Some kid. We didn't see they slip onto the ship from the infected colony,” Peter reported. "I caught them behind one of the cargo crates. Anya says they needs to be quarantined in Sick Bay right away, because if this asshole is infected with that contagion that's killing people in the colony, we're all fucking dead.”
“Fuck,” muttered Curley. This was a problem. A big goddamn problem. “I'll be right there,” Curley said briefly and cut the connection.
“What happened?” Jace frowned, taking his eyes off the monitors for a second.
“Some crap from the colony slipped onto the ship. I'll handle it,” Curley unbuckled his harness and stood up. “Keep the revs at four and a half. And watch out for that shit. I.A.A.N.?”
“Yes, Captain Monroe?” echoed an artificial voice from the ship's speaker.
“Take over control of the second helm. We need to get out of the damn cluster.”
Leaving Jace and I.A.A.N. in charge of the ship, Curley took a quick step to the cargo bay, checking the blaster strapped to his hip. Whoever this person was that had slipped into the ship had made a big mistake.
