The Space Ghost, Part 3
By Mary Lynn Bushong 		  
1     Cassandra and her Mom had just finished replacing the life support circuits. Cass was watching the strange mist while her mother left, and she soon ran after her.
 
2     When Cassandra arrived at the bridge, the others were staring at the view screen.
 
3     "What's that?" she asked, as she pointed to some wreckage floating near an asteroid. "It looks like a derelict ship."
 
4     "It is," said Dad. "From its design, it looks like it was wrecked several decades ago." He magnified the ship on the screen. "It's a freighter or exploration ship. You can see where it looks like the hold has been ripped open."
 
5     "Explosive blast?" asked Zach.
 
6     "Maybe in part," said Dad, "but some of that hull metal is bent the wrong way. It almost looks like it was attacked from the outside..."
 
7     "At least whatever it was isn't likely to have stayed around, right?" asked Cassandra nervously. "Right?"
 
8     BANG. The whole ship shuddered, and the crew held onto whatever they could reach.
