With a bit of help from Cheshana, Sarhat manages to get the iris door open. Beyond is a corridor much like the one you are currently in - more staterooms to either side.
As the aperture expands, the lights flicker againd, and go out. This time they don't come back on again, but emergency lighting sputters into life, filling the corridor with a warm red light.
Cheshana looks grim. "Reactor should still work," he muses. "Perhaps damage to power system somewhere. We hurry, I think!"
But before you can act...

You are assailed by a sudden wave of panic, but this time you are able to get your own defences in place, and the sensation washes over you. From behind your mental fortress you are able to view the images and emotions without being forced to feel them: fear of the dark, coupled with a sense of panic, of suffocation and of hunger.

The darkness is suffocating you. Without the light you cannot breathe! You will suffocate and you will starve! You need light, quickly!
Then the feeling has gone, leaving you shaken and gasping for breath (although, in fact, you can breathe quite normally.
Kirth takes 1 point of non-lethal damage and is shaken.
On top of that, he hears something moving overhead. Or, thinks he does. You can't be sure if it was part of that wierd vision or not.

"Bloody hell, what was that," says Kirth as he instinctively recoils. "No one told me that there were bats loose in this hulk! And, um, incidentally, if we can find some kind of electronic or mechanical controls that we think pertain to the systems we wish to bypass, I'm certainly willing to tinker about a bit and see what I can override. Just, please make sure that I don't fool around with life-support!"

Croft is getting a bit miffed by these continued psionic attacks, especially since every power he knows requires line of sight. He Takes a long slow look around to see anything is hiding in air vents or in dark corners. "Something is watching us, and its really close by..."

Cheshan looks about him nervously. "If I not man of science and still believe like my people, I say that Dark Angel of Drafa still walks ship," he says quietly. "It... it good thing I man of science."
You moving through the iris valve into the fore part of the Markab ship. Cheshana taps Kirth on the arm.
"You have good idea, my friend." he looks around at the dim lighting. "I think strange ship power fail now when we come, after eight year." He indicates a computer access point along the wall, the screen still active. "I help you, perhaps see if anything... anyone...change systems."
[sblock=Kirth]
Having had the most contact with Cheshana on the journey from Abbai space to the derelict, you sense that he is more unnerved by events than he is trying to let on. The whole thing about not believing in the Dark Angel sounds to you more like he is trying to convince himself.
Oh, and, should you wish to try what he suggests, Computer Use skill with Cheshana providing Aid.

[sblock=Croft]
You can see no sign of a watcher, although it *is* quite dim lighting. Still, a Centauri should be well versed in expecting hidden assassins. You feel sure that you haven't missed anywhere. Probably.

"It feels like telepathy to me," Ashley mutters. "My mental defenses held it off that time. But the power of the images, and the fact that there's no one actually here to project them..."
She shakes her head. "It almost seems like telepathic 'echoes' of the past, but that's usually really hard to tune into. Only the strongest telepaths can even try. To have it happen like this, even to non-telepaths, I don't even know where to start theorizing."

Kirth puts an arm on Ceshana's shoulders and says, "Yes, you're a man of Great Science. But, uh, tell you what, we'll keep an eye out for Dark Angels, of Drafa or anywhere else, just in case." Kirth cracks his knuckles, wiggles his fingers luxuriantly, and gets ready to do some computer work. "Now! Let's see what we can do here...."
Kirth's computer use skill check, with +2 for Ceshana's aid. (1d20+9+2=14)
"Hmmm, I don't think that's quite the result we were going for."

Croft will try to grab anyone the that tries to run screaming down the hallway from the mental assault. When the iris opens to reveal another set of staterooms, the young Centari will start checking the others in the same fashion as the first one (Listen/open door from cover/spot/search).
