[ It's creepy, for a lot of reasons, but the first of those is the quiet, he thinks.
If it were just the weird people pods that would be one thing, but Sam's been on enough spaceships and to enough stations to know what the ambient sounds are. Ought to be. Really, even somewhere planetbound - tech takes power, generators don't all make the same noise, but he knows what kinds to expect and he doesn't hear any of them here.
It feels like a ghost town, but it's too well maintained for that. So when he wanders down to the gardens and hears - no, feels something calling him, he doesn't even think of ignoring it.
Being alone is a worse thought than any kind of danger he might be getting himself into.
He hesitates for half a beat when he sees the woman, not so much out of fear as out of a nagging feeling that he's interrupting something. But that doesn't stop him for long, because hey, getting attacked by those things and winding up here in the first place was sure interrupting something in his life. ]
