Well, as it just happened i am scared. Please forgive me for bad spelling or grammer issues, it is hard to concentrate right now.

As you probably all now, if you walk around in Stations it is in general just your character with a friendly station environment and a few clickable fancy things. Like the red button for the door.
Well, like me you all clicked on it just to see what it is saying:
Station atmosphere not yet decontaminated for capsuleer consumption.
We know that CCP is planing to enhance the stations in the future. As i was wandering around within the station (i was bored and i do not like shipspinning) i noticed something unseen: The button was green. I thought by myself "wasn't that button red a while ago". I joined Teamspeak and asked some of my corpies if their button changed the color. Well, as expected they don't know because they don't walk around in the station. I decided to click on the button to see if something changed to the pop-up as well. A little lag and the screen went black. Hm ok maybe ccp .exe. i opened the task manager to check. Ccp.exe still working. Maxed up again eve. The screen was still black. i decided to wait a few seconds. after 5 seconds i disconnected from teamspeak. well that was nothing new for me. our TS is ****** and sometimes it just shuts itself down.
A pop-up on the black screen. well finally... but it said loading? now i was excited. CCP opened the stations for us? look around? they promised we could have our own shops and stuff going on in the station. Damn i was excited... the station environment loaded. there i am. right with my character in the station. Minmatar Station. Dark and rusty, but always trusty ;) the hallway went to the right and then there was a corner. i walked towards it. the hallway was rather long. i wish i could kinda sprint around, but i thought, well they implement it later so it wouldn't take that long to walk around in here. i got around the corner. it was dark. minmatar engineers don't like that much lighting :S the hallway was way too long, long enough to not see the end of it in the dark. i decided to follow it. it took me 15 seconds to figure out that at the end of the hallway is something written. now i got curious. walked towards it...finally i was able to read it, written in a redish color:
Scotty is alive...
wow...didn't expect that. i got closer. it turned sharper as i walked closer and closer. the redish color wasn't color, it was...blood. that really shocked me. i pressed alt+F4. nothing happened. ctrl+alt+del to open up task manager. it won't react. Esc won't work either. maybe i should shut down the pc...no lets see what is happening next. i played dead space and other horror stuff and eve is not a scary game. lets go to the door on the left. another button. i clicked it. the door opened very slow... i walked through it. another rather long hallway. the lights went flickering. another writing on the wall right next to me:
Scotty is watching you all...
i walked to the end of the hallway. it took a bend to the right. walked aroung the corner...just to see another writing on another door:
you treat scotty bad...
ok, weeeell... that is kinda creepy. i know scotty. it was the script that prevented from changing ships to fast. the community made fun about him. he could be a person with many clones on every station. infact there is a item that describes scotty. Scotty the docking manager's clone. it has the symbol of the clone vat bay and is a special commodity.
As many other players, since there is no jukebox i turned down the volume of eve to 0. i didn't noticed it until now but music was playing. the creepy wormhole music....i used to live in one so i can remember it well... i turned down the volume of my headset because it turned louder at this point. i was still thinking about shutting down my pc but i was curious. i opened the door with the button right next to it. the door started to open. it got stuck half way..and then opened fast. i had to breath deeply. that was shocking. i stepped through the door into a room barely lighted at the wall on the other side of the room. a red hand mark on the wall.i walked towards it. as i was close to it the lights went on. it was just a small wall in a big room. it was a billboard. the room was gigantic. first thought was that it is the hanger just from another side but it was smaller. no carrier could fit in here. i noticed the textures on the walls. they were everywhere. looked like the symbol of scotties clone vat bay just bigger....i walked to one of the walls. indeed. clone vat bays. fully textured and 3d. i walked towards one of them to take a closer look. it was animated as well. it looked very cool. rusty and icy. i walked a few steps closer. close enough to see into that glas of the vat bay. something was steaming up the glas. a hand shot up to the glas. i was close to a heart attack and i almost felt of my chair. suddenly the door of the vat bay slamed open. i wanted to run away but the my character was so slow. the room turned dark again. no lights. just two small lights at the door. i headed over to the door i came from. as fast as possible. the sound went louder again but i busy with walking. something was screaming..
i reached the door. as i wanted to walk through the door rapidly closed and the lights on it went of. another scream. the one like you delete a character. the screen went completely black and it said loading....
i was back in my captains quarter. the eve mail blinked. i opened it.
a new notification:
So you died? Well you have a Clone Grade Pi at BND-16 VIII - Qahn's Tear Refinery station. Enjoy your afterlife. Scotty never forgives.

at this point i was scared as hell. i pressed ESC and the window opened. i closed eve. thats it for today. i think i can't play this game anymore....

Really...? Roll

I quite liked it in a quirky sort of manner, I sensed a sort of tongue in cheek in there as well.

When I am hanging around in my Captains Quarters I sometimes hear odd noises or see shadows in peripherals. I tell myself it's nothing but I always have this bad feeling something is watching me in there so instead of hanging around I always undock...I feel safer in my ship Sad

It is not really the atmosphere that keeps us out of the station, it is really the fact that scotty is in there killing everything that gets near him? Hmmm, seems legit.

They said Scotty doesn't know! But he does know... He does know.

Everybody is dead dave.... Scotty is an AI that runs the station for capsuleers. Capsuleers can life for ever, so resources must be set aside for their sake.

More Soylant protein?
