once.
                  The DSSM suit also has a nutrient system and drug system providing nutrients to the user during extended stays in the suit and, if needed, necessary drugs including pain reducing ones. The DSSM also has the ability to remove a user's waste as the user continues using the suit by quickly breaking the waste down and converting it into energy to keep the suit functional.
                  The DSSM suit can come apart at the arms, legs, waist, and helmet can come off like traditional armor, or the core of the suit can be held to the chest or strapped to the back then it can “grow” outward and around the user.
                  The DSSM suit is the most elite armor design in the galaxy with most of its features classified. The DSSM has a cost of over 1 quintillion dollars a suit and only a couple dozen people know of the suit's true capabilities, fewer yet have even worn it. And Captain John Steele has five of them in his ship.
                  “Jamie, ETA?”
                  “We will be arriving in 5 minutes at current speed.”
                  “Slow it down. Go in all internal and external lights off with systems on dark. Have we found out anything else about the thing?”
                  “Yes John I have. It is unknown if there are any life forms on it, though I have scanned for all types known or thought possible to exist across all galaxies. It is empty. It's impossible to know what life forms it could have based on the scans of the ship. There are many hallways that are very wide and not very tall to hallways that are very tall and not vary wide. Two different kind of creatures would have to exist on this ship for a design like that. There are more passages that are of interest that would indicate multiple species based on the layout. I am uploading those approximate locations to you now.
                  “There is also a breach on the portside that you could use to enter but I must urge the utmost caution. My sensors are picking up environmental threats but no hostile targets. There is also no air that you can breath inside the object. There seems to be multiple atmospheres inside the object. One part of the ship has a high pressure atmosphere containing methane, another has a low pressure atmosphere containing carbon dioxide, another high pressure sulfur, another unknown pressure Mendelevium. The ship is made of an unknown material.”
                  “What is Mendelevium?” John asked.
                  “It is a synthetic element that was made on Earth in 1955. It is also radioactive.”
                  “What do you mean 'made on Earth in 1955'”?
                  “It was created in a lab.”
                  “Yeah, thanks Jamie, I got that,” Captain Steele said frustrated at her lack of understanding what he meant.
                  “You are welcome.”
                  Captain Steele sighed.
                  “It's a man made element that was made over 2,000 years ago on Earth and I'm going to assume that it hasn't been widely used and hasn't been constructed since then because of it's scarcity now. Right?”
                  “You are correct John. The element was made on Earth in 1955 and was made several times afterwards to do tests on. It has never been mass produced and it has never left planet Earth. No other race that we know of has ever made it.”
                  Captain Steele sighed. It was only now Jamie understood. For the best an AI could be she still could use some improvement.
              “So how then, can it be out here unless some other race made it? How big is the area that hold this atmosphere?”
                  “Impossible to guess accurately but it is very large. I have little other information on
