---Jason pushed me through the opening.
"Maybe you can start exploring this end of it and ill do the other" he said smiling as he gave me a torch and then disappeared into the gloomy darkness.
I turned on the torch and looked around me. I was in some type of cabin. It looked pretty ordinary except that there was a gaping hole, which was probably 30 feet deep. I shone my torch into the hole. I whistled, it would be certain death if anyone fell, I mused as I pushed my chair further along.
Suddenly I heard a creak behind me.
"Jason?" I turned around, expecting Jason to jump out at me. But there was no one. I must be dreaming, I thought rubbing my eyes tiredly.

Sci Fi Part 9
As your science fiction series winds down, it's interesting to see how some of the plot points that were introduced in previous parts get resolved. It has thus far been an enjoyable story and Part 9 is a good addition to it.
Some of the questions I had from preceding parts have been cleared up with the addition of your latest installment. Of course, more mysteries remain to be worked out in your next and concluding part.
